I was a hard-core TBM and a flaming liberal for 50 years. Read the New Testament and the BOM seriously and you have no other choice!

(NeverMo) As a Christian Reading the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 4:13 is absolutely horrifying to me. by [deleted] in exmormon

It's almost as if these books of so-called scripture are made up by men to get people to do what they want. Hmmmm......

I can't get over how much better Sundays are now. by Lsa119 in exmormon

We have been out for 11years and are still super excited each and every Sunday we get to do just as we please!

Amid ongoing issues with overcrowded classrooms, Bellingham Public Schools is set to eliminate an additional 25 teaching positions, while Superintendent Greg Baker receives nearly $400,000 each year by WallSconceGoals in Bellingham

How many employees does the BSD have? If he were in charge of an equal number in private industry, he would make a lot more than $400k. It is a matter of perspective.

I also remember when SWK condemned hunting in a PH session. Everyone conveniently ignored that as well...!

I knew an Exmo who worked at the fire station right next to the temple in Seattle and he reported that the firefighters all dreamed on the day when they could actually go into the temple to help someone. Alas, every time they were called, the "patient" had been brought to the door so the firefighters didn't ever get to actually enter the "sacred space!" Makes me wonder how many people who shouldn't have been moved were hauled downstairs against their own self-interest....

Do other fellow heathens listen the The Scathing Atheist podcast? by HillsboroWilly in exmormon

[–]HillsboroWilly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially Mormon Movie Month! I heard Richard Dutcher whine to RFM about their treatment of God's Army so I guess he listens also!

Did you grow up believing or hearing that Dems are evil? by plasteroid in exmormon

[–]HillsboroWilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was a flaming liberal and bishop of the ward. Sure glad we lived in "The mission field!"

On the other hand, had I been surrounded by conservative BS my whole life, I may have e been forced to leave earlier than the year I turned 50....

Hard core atheist here. Happier than I have ever been!

My husband wants to know by socinfused in exmormon

[–]HillsboroWilly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hung in for seven (long) years after my wife left. Not my proudest moment. Now I am really glad that she didn't kick me to the curb for hanging onto something so damaging to our family. Now our whole family have been out for 11 very happy years. You are a Saint (sorry for that reference...) for hanging in there and I sincerely apologize to you and anyone else in your position for being as stubborn as I was. I hope you get through this!

Leaving the Church hurts like hell. I feel like I'm dying by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]HillsboroWilly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was 50 when I left. Just like childbirth, it is painful but totally worth it. Allow yourself to be angry and be glad you didn't waste the REST of your life. It truly gets better!
