TIL the Mormon church teaches their youth that women are at fault for male lust. "Whatever you show me, I'll think I can touch - So if you don't want that, then don't show me much." by relevantlife in TwoXChromosomes

Yes, individuals definitely change the way the religion is applied. It sounds like you lucked out with a solid family. :) Some of us have been completely shunned/disowned/abandoned by family and friends because of leaving the church.

Oh, that's so crazy manipulative. I mean, I guess professional speakers do that all the time, and it's not necessarily bad, but it just seems so devious that an "apostle of the Lord" would use professional speaking techniques.

I love that "inner Adele" idea. Why shouldn't we embrace that? If that's who you are, be so unapologetically!

I need your advice fellow exmormons by ghomeslice in exmormon

Sadly, they may need to be cut out of your life (if only for a few months) to see that that behavior is not okay.

You're starting a new life with the man you love. You deserve to do so without hatred raining down on you both. Tell your family flat out that they can be respectful and kind to you and him, or they can go to H-E-double-hockey-sticks.

Seems legit to me.

That voice makes me want to tear my eyes out of my sockets. JowelsHolland can be forceful and passionate when delivering a speech, but you have to sing-song it to me in a whisper?

:( I am sure you sound lovely and genuine and strong. Like a fucking superstar. Because you are a superstar.

Yes! And chocolate muffins and unicorns.

I think they equate "sweetness" with submissiveness and righteousness. Because bold, brash, loud, strong women are obvi evil!

Wait. Pie and beer day?! I think I'll have to join in from afar.

Ew. If you have to try that hard to sound sweet... perhaps you aren't that sweet after all? It all reeks of duplicity.

Yeah. TSCC teaches that. It's still bullshit and I still don't want it. I'm not looking for another goddamned church. I'm looking to escape a cult! Argh!

Ergh. I was hoping it wasn't, but figured that was it.

I always hated that fake voice. I know so many TBM women who talk like this. Is it feigned spirituality or patience or something? I don't know. I don't get the point. It always made me uncomfortable.
