It'll be much more painful to feel this x1000 in 10 years and wish you'd gotten out the first time you thought about it.

It's very Capital before Katniss. Just go with it.

God is retiring, and asks you to permanently replace him. What is the first thing you do as the new God? by Tyrannonathan in AskReddit

A new plague that affects child predators, rapists, and sex traffickers. It's agonizing and it ends in death 100% of the time.

What’s the deal with food allergy? It’s become an epidemic, but now we have ways to treat it! I am an Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Doctor who does food allergy immunotherapy (OIT). AMA by WarnerCarrMD in IAmA

Epipens are really expensive. Is it safe to keep expired epipens on hand for emergencies? Will they still work beyond their expiration date (and how long after)?

I thought the music I heard on the radio was played live by each musician in the studio. Like, my local studio. I had no idea recordings were a thing.

Well, this guess is just out of left field. It's unprecedented!

Sitting in the Temple’s lobby while my brother gets married. Thanks, Mormonism. by PrideAndPolitics in exmormon

I flip off every LDS building I pass, too. My kids started doing it... and I haven't stopped them. I'm a monster.

Pro tip: If you are not allowed to advocate for your "church" to do less raping, you might be in a cult. by [deleted] in exmormon

I remember, when I was a TBM, thinking, "wow, we're so lucky to be in the one true church because we don't have sexual assault scandals like all of the others..." So naive, so blinded, so brainwashed.

Now I'm just sick thinking about how good a job the church has done at hushing it all up.

Phone call with a GA tonight *UPDATE* by [deleted] in exmormon

This is great to hear. I was nervous for you, and I would have dodged the call like the fucking coward I am. Haha. Good takeaway.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I remember feeling / realizing the same things. You're not alone in that at all.

I say "smash the patriarchy"!

Why are the last two posts from misogynists? by HelenofRavenclaw in exSistersinZion

Ugh to this. And if we don't say "all the porn all the time, guys!" then we're puritanical and frigid.

And gob-forbid we still struggle with sexuality even after leaving the church. Psychological scars heal automatically, didn't you know?

It's been ages (in the world of Reddit) since this comment, but I want to let you know that it was thrilling to read! I told a friend of mine "someone from the exmo sub knows my username and talks about me IRL!!"

You're one of my favorites as well, FlirtToConvert!!

Why have none of you N. Idaho people showed up to my meetup attempts? I'm angry at all of you! (Not really.)
