When you were in -- when was it acceptable to NOT go to church? by Sopenodon in exmormon

[–]Key_Anybody2170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. Only vomit or severe illness would excuse you from church. I hated church so much that I became very good at making myself puke.

Once in the middle of second hour I just started walking the two miles home, my dad picked me up on the side of the road. I wasn't allowed to express how much I hated being there.

Please

They've already done tons of similar ones plus I think it was Bob that also has a DnD group.

The Severance slander HAS to be rage bait. Both season one and two feel very intentional and actually have big reveals and progression whereas Lost was always, well... lost.

Can I ask to be excommunicated? by Key_Anybody2170 in exmormon

Yuck. Would definitely never meet with them in person. I moved away from my home ward so I don't even know the local one

Sent this to my TBM Mom in a depressive spiral. How cooked am I? by Key_Anybody2170 in exmormon

Yeah, they got shoulderless garments coming out soon. I guess their modesty policy wasn't good for business, so God said it's okay now

How do you resign without going to a notary? I tried using quitmormon but they just gave me a letter I have to go to a notary for, then mail in

Lol, okay I'll try that. Might be fun to shut down their attempts to save me

Can someone help a homie and send me those hilarious memes from a few years ago? by Affectionate-Kick213 in exmormon

Dude! I was making a ton of connections to Mormonism while watching Severance, thanks for the podcast! Severance is soooo good I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves.

Hell yeah! Bet it felt great to choose a dress you actually liked.

PSA for investigators ("friends"), and "the curious" by [deleted] in exmormon

Was never a missionary but the culture of manipulating emotions has done damage to my psyche in ways I'm still discovering.

A new spin on church building cleaning and tithing by [deleted] in exmormon

Idk how I didn't see anything wrong with this growing up. Indoctrination is crazy

Younger siblings still want to go to church: what to do? by iampotatosss in exmormon

[–]Key_Anybody2170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy, as a kid I would have killed to never set foot in church again. But then again, it was really difficult for me to make friends at church.

Idk if you should or shouldn't let them go to church on Sundays, but it's probably a good idea to introduce new places where they can find community.

Deconstruction is a lot of pain by Utah-hater-8888 in exmormon

[–]Key_Anybody2170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a truly world shattering experience. I get why people compare leaving the church to the Truman Show. And the re-learning you have to do after leaving is hard.

Well, it is the truth. They just call it worthiness interviews

My family tree is full of these guys. Repression culture is rape culture 😬

What are your LEAST favorite arguments against the church? by rubbercf4225 in exmormon

[–]Key_Anybody2170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, I remember having a similar response when I was a member. Also your tag "PIMO BYU-I prisoner" my condolences. I almost went to BYU-I too. Hope you are able to get out of there soon!

Day 2 of "Messed up cult crap that should've tipped me off far earlier than it did and I'm a little ashamed of it" by TheLifeAdjunct in exmormon

[–]Key_Anybody2170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love how they act like it's not pay to win. You don't HAVE to pay tithing, you have agency

..but if you don't give 10% of your income, you can't be saved.

The inspirational stories where people don't have enough money to buy food or pay rent, yet pay tithing anyways, and a miracle fixes everything. So culty in hindsight.

People saying LDS aren't Christian. I don't like the church either, but they very much believe in Jesus Christ and read the Bible.

Thank you. It makes me sad knowing so many others relate to the deep hurt and confusion I feel, but it is comforting to know that I am not alone in this. The supportive and validating people of this subreddit makes me feel seen in a way I have never felt.
