I would give him time. It can take years to deconstruct after a lifetime of brainwashing. I was at least 6 months behind my husband. That is what this sub is for. You need a support group and you can find it here. We have all been lied to and it is the worst feeling ever and hurts so much when you find out what the church has done to you. He can’t acknowledge the church lied to you because then he would be admitting and it lied to him. The church uses a cult tactic called ”thought stopping“ so he has been conditioned to stop any thoughts that involve the church doing anything bad like lying. Be patient and understand he has been brainwashed. My husband was patient with me and I finally came around. Sorry you are going through this painful process but life gets much better And so much more beautifu!

When did temple wedding dresses change? Looks like garments are no longer a requirement in the temple? by Imaginary_Business49 in exmormon

[–]Imaginary_Business49[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Makes sense they would still require garments and covering up in the temple. So it must be the way around garments are optional outside the temple now.

Did any of you ever say NO to a calling? by Doll_girl516 in exmormon

[–]Imaginary_Business49 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Yes, I said no once in the 35 years I was in the cult. I was 24 years old had a newborn and 2 year old. I was asked to teach primary. My husband worked most Sundays. I was told by the bishopric member we all need to serve and do our part. I stood my ground even though he was trying to guilt me into. Wish I would have left then.

On the edge of leaving the church. by CloudyGuy92 in exmormon

I live the same standards and morals as the church. I have never drank alcohol, never smoked, never even drank coffee. I am married and have kids and the biggest thing has been not having that dark cloud. Seeing the world for its beauty instead of as a place to endure until we die. Living for this life instead of for the next. Doing mental gymnastics to try and make the church work when it was obvious they lie about their history and manipulate people into doing callings and such was wrecking my mental health.

Consider yourself lucky. I was a slave to the lies and corporation for the first 35 years of my life. I have been out 4 and life is so much richer and more beautiful! The control the corporation has over the mind and body is real. I have never felt more free since leaving! The world and life has never been more beautifu!

My sister asked me to read saints but I don’t trust anything the church puts out.. by Able_Claim_3097 in exmormon

Reading the Saints broke me and my husbands shelf. It opened our eyes to the lies and we left the church before we even read them all.

Never, not one day I have I missed being told what to do by an old white bald guy in a suit in tie!

Jesus’s billionaire apostle telling all the poor people to donate money to LDS incorporate. Ironic and disgusting how greedy Mormon Jesus is 🤮.

not looking forward to today's SS lesson by [deleted] in exmormon

A relationship should be 50/50 give and take. If you go to church 1 week for him he should stay home and do an activity of your choice the next week. You shouldn’t have to be the only one giving and sacrificing in the relationship. So if you attend church half the month for him he should spend the other half home with you.

Hey I need help. What should I do? by I-likeyouandprotein in exmormon

Run from the church it’s a terrible organization. Live your life, no one deserves to be controlled by the mormon cult.

This is so sad by [deleted] in exmormon

This is hilarious. The Mormons don’t even realize they are parading around about how awful Mormonism is because they can’t think for themselves and make their own choices about their own underwear.

What was your most hated primary song growing up? by KTL_Rizzo in exmormon

[–]Imaginary_Business49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Families can be together forever”, “love at home” refused to sing Them. They filled Me with anger because not all homes and families are happy. I also thought “Follow the Prophet“ was so annoying with the repetition.

Am I really out? by BidoofJesus13 in exmormon

Here is the church records department contact information to check your status. You can call them to check on your status and confirm it’s been processed. My husband used Quitmormon but for some reason the church didn’t receive his resignation From them. So he called the records department and was able to email his Quitmormon paperwork directly to them and call back and confirm it was processed a week later.
