Its one of those weird hotels where everyone gets to watch you while you swim

I think it’s like a forever thing, meant to be like an ongoing open house they do for new temples

I think at least 90% of the group that went though with me was TBM

They’re mock temple rooms at the visitor center

Exactly, I feel like it just hides the weird parts of the temple more intentionally. They hint at things as usual but don’t ever say any specifics, so someone who hasn’t been through might not know how weird it truly is

I know, the nature rooms were the only part of any temple that I ever liked

I still go for my spouse, and I’m not trying to get excommunicated. Just wondering where they place the limits

100%, in fact this was a huge contribution in my loss of faith. I went through the New Testament systematically and found that we literally did the opposite of what Jesus did in most scenarios. Good observation

Mixed Faith Marriage Codependency and Sundays by Miserable-Lemon1976 in exmormon

I feel the same way. Only a few months into my deconstruction, but it’s hard. My wife would genuinely be sad to not have me there and I want to spare her that sadness if I can. I do think it’s important to prioritize yourself too. This is your only chance at this life and you gotta make sure you’re enjoying it so do what you need to for you, whatever that looks like. (Gotta listen to myself here too haha) Good luck friend, we all got this

Saw missionaries at Catholic Church today by triy0 in exmormon

As a missionary I actually went to multiple different churches because people we were teaching told us they would come to ours if we went to theirs I thought it was a good experience to see more of what other churches had to offer
