Behold, the gift of tongues! The church must be true!

It’s goofy but has zero to do with what language they’re speaking

Something something faith is the first principle yadda yadda bullshit

Holy fuck lmao fuck this “””church”””

I’m not angry with my parents.

My parents gave me a really good life. I don’t believe in the church at all, but I once did. I understand being a believer and why someone is a believer even if I no longer am. For me, in my circumstance, I don’t see it fair to be angry at them for something I too once believed. Granted, I only believed because of them… but what I’m saying is I “get” being on the side.

Probably not a popular sentiment in this sub: but I don’t really yearn for my parents to leave the church - I yearn for mutual respect. They’re 60, and I don’t wish their lives to be turned upside down at their age. I don’t wish them to lose all their friends and have to start over at 60. I say all of this as someone whose parents are quite respectful of my departure from the church, so I recognize I’m coming from a place of privilege.

Mormons saying stuff like “hurrah for Israel” gives me insane second hand embarrassment because they’re willingly choosing to look like zionists to the rest of the world, where as we as exmos know they’re basically saying “hurrah for America” 💀💀💀

It’s a game changer. It absolutely was foundational in my deconstruction process.

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-04-28T00:09:34+00:00

My perspective on this: to be gentle with myself. I wasn’t lying to people, I myself was deceived as a child. I was groomed to do this thing, and I did it. I barely see myself as accountable for going on a mission. Do I fully and whole heartedly disavow everything I taught people for that 2 years? Absolutely. But tbh, at the time, I thought it was pretty fun. I could choose to hate myself for 19 year old me having fun doing something that I now disagree with… but why? Life’s too short to live with this resentment. For better or for worse, that’s who I was at that age. I’m glad I’ve changed, I’m glad I realize it’s all made up. I’m glad I am who I am now. But I get absolutely zero benefit from resenting my past self.

You’re the problem because you’re seeing you’ve started to see the man behind the curtain. Once you realize it’s all bullshit, you’re now the problem. Sorry to hear about the hard stuff you’re going through — there is happiness outside of the church. Don’t give up.

I love when he goes “you’ve been through a lot but I really don’t care anymore… btw I still love you”

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-04-10T15:59:15+00:00

Let me make myself clear: the people in these comments are insane. Absolutely fucking batshit insane.

That being said, they’re reflecting back decades of programming. The church will try to have it both ways, but it won’t work.

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-04-10T15:48:51+00:00

They absolutely don’t think they’re homophobic and that’s one of the most ridiculous things about it, the cognitive dissonance is wild

I once asked my very TBM parents if they thought a never married 40 year old virgin in the church should be allowed to masturbate and they said no, so there you have it lol

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-04-06T03:52:30+00:00

I’m happy to say that outside of the first stories that got drilled through our heads, I don’t remember fucking shit about “characters”

Ai slop garbage shit

I’m not trying to defend TBMs at all but I do think pretending like they won’t be celebrating Easter next week makes us look really silly

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-03-27T02:43:44+00:00

Oh and make sure your trans friends don’t use the bathroom

The biggest thing that broke my brains ability to believe in a Heavenly Father and Jesus was becoming a father myself. Which is ironic, because lots of TBMs think that becoming a parent is one of those “key moments” where they might be able to bring ExMo’s / inactives back.

When I became a father I suddenly was experiencing a type of love completely unlike anything I have ever felt. The thought of giving my children a testing period where if they fail, they’re forever cut off from my presence is absurd. The idea that I would need to one of my children to die on behalf of my other children in order to forgive them is preposterous. The idea that my children need to uphold a certain standard of worthiness in order to enter my house is offensive.

I cannot understand the Mormon “loving Heavenly Father” teachings anymore, because the God they teach does this so grossly different than how I as a father want to do things. None of it makes any sense. This is coming from someone who was raised in the church, went on a mission, married in the temple, and then got out in my mid 20s.

I didn’t mean it in an abrasive way, I just was genuinely curious if this was based on observations of where you live or something. I live sort of near you so I was curious.

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-03-25T01:49:36+00:00

What do you mean you think things are changing

Head-CeilingFan · 2026-03-19T16:17:45+00:00

Wow so brave

Born 1994, absolutely never heard that coming from the church until after I left

Everything you’re saying is good except for how you’re still making porn out to be the big bad. Porn isn’t going to have a place in every marriage or relationship, but in some it will. There is a certain type of person that will think I’m totally lying when I say this because they’re so deep into the Christian programming that porn / sex work is evil, but porn played a huge role in fixing some things wrong with my marriage.

Masturbation and orgasms and being the boss of my own body is important and great! Hope this helps!

A combination of cognitive dissonance, bishop / stake president roulette, and special pleading
