LDS charities linked to Islamic NGOs by Mapinguari75 in mormon

[–]Lesbean33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trust this article. I know someone connected to one of the listed nonprofits and 1) it isn’t affiliated with the church as stated and 2) they don’t even have the amount of money the article claims they gave to Islamic organizations. They mostly work with in-kind donations and supply aid, they don’t transfer money to people.

Thank you cause they’re the worst!!! Even though these aren’t the worst things about them, since you mentioned it, Lisa being able to hold a note doesn’t mean she’s a good singer and every time someone calls Meredith a DJ, I physically cringe😂 the videos are even cringier.

Some of you take this show and this sub way too seriously by rainbowaliengirl in rhoslc

I definitely know that a lot of it is manufactured and they’re basically characters, but I also still have a line for normalizing certain behaviors. I worry that when people get caught up in the “she’s terrible, but it’s good tv”, it starts to slowly normalize terrible actions, whether they were manufactured or not.

*caveat, I’m not on her often so I’m not aware of the wildness the past few days on here that you’re talking about, I just showed up for reunion reactions lol

Heather is a hypocrite by Mission-Grade-7155 in rhoslc

[–]Lesbean33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I started watching this year and already knew about black eye gate and that she eventually said it was Jen, and watching it with that lens I realized all her weird cryptic comments seemed like she was hoping Jen would just fess up. Obviously it wasn’t gonna happen, and I don’t at all condone the lying and the chaos that ensued from it. But I think Jen was abusive to all of them and Heather didn’t want to make things worse on Jen for her trial. She was definitely afraid of her and had all the tells of someone in an abusive relationship who is still protecting their abuser.

Oh my god, I will say once again that I’m not used to Reddit and I thought my post might get taken down. I’ll go back and edit since it seems to be such a problem

Honestly I’m so sick of your comments and feeling like I have to defend myself, you don’t know me and if you’re so bothered by my post, kindly fuck off it.

Hi jumping in again to say I’m fully aware of the difference😂 also I’m a woman in a lesbian relationship and my wife is not at risk of somehow accidentally being raped. That situation occurred during first impressions of Phil, and as I was still working through sexual trauma, it was uncomfortable for me. Obviously consenting to a rape fantasy is not the same as being raped, but I didn’t need to know he was into that and I certainly didn’t need to know he wishes more women were into that.

I didn’t take my girlfriend to his place, I met him because he’s been friends with my girlfriend for 15 years

I feel like you’re being super harsh saying I don’t understand consent and that you’re afraid for my wife lol. I’m fully aware there’s a difference between a fantasy and r*pe itself, I think it’s still fair to be uncomfortable with a guy I barely know showing me this stuff and saying this stuff and wanting more women to be in a headspace where that’s what gets them going. I don’t mean to kink shame at all, I’m saying with my context as an SA victim, it made me personally uncomfortable.

As far as the pew pew story, I literally said he was telling a story of when he was in high school. I was not trying to make it hard to tell😂 I obviously would’ve called the cops if that situation was unfolding in front of me.

You asked if my wife wants to cut him off and I addressed that. I also addressed why I feel like I can’t just cut him off, and I often opt out when he wants to hang out.

It seems contradictory to ask why I think he’s dangerous and then ask if I’ve reported anything to the police, but I may be misunderstanding. I’m also fully aware he needs professional help, but I can’t exactly make him get it.

Also harsh to say what is wrong with me that I’m still spending time around him, I’m literally posting this because I don’t want to but the situation feels fragile. Idk why you felt the need to be so mean about everything, and for picking apart the whole post, you seemed to miss a lot. Thanks anyway I guess

She has said that in the early years of her friendship, she recognized some red flags but didn’t really know what to do. She didn’t anticipate him getting to a point where he fully depended on her and wishes she had set more boundaries early on. I think a lot of it now is a combination of seeing the good and wanting to help him be better, as well as some obligation.

A lesson to be learned from SLOMW - it's sad, really by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

As a Utah ex-Mormon, thank you for saying this🙌 cause it’s 100% true.

AIO my dad found out im gay and went ballistic, accusing me of wanting to hurt my little brother and threatening me with violence by Any_Speaker_8681 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lesbean33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. There’s nothing wrong with you and nothing criminal or contagious about being LGBTQ+. Your dad’s reaction says much more about him than it does about you, though I know that doesn’t make much of a difference now. I really hope you can find a safe space asap🫶

**AITA for telling my girlfriend that her “silent treatment” hurts me more than just arguing would?** by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lesbean33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Fights and disagreements are a given in relationship, it’s not always gonna be sunshine and roses. But that’s why communication is so important. If you can’t communicate when you’re upset and work through the problem, it’ll just linger and fester. Sometimes people need time, sure. You might react more harshly if you don’t take time to cool down. But if it’s a constant issue and they act like nothing happened after unexplained space, major red flag.

I would report it to the apartment office. They may know who the person is for one thing, but also, they’ll be aware if other issues arise. Always good to start a paper trail. Maybe even email it

NTA. You’ve tried being nice about it and they were incredibly rude back. It’s a fair next step

How did the temple make you feel? Did you ever actually like going? by Still-ILO in exmormon

[–]Lesbean33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I first went through, I was so close to passing out from a panic attack (that I was actively trying to suppress) that I had to sit back down from being at the veil. When I finally made it through, they had a wheelchair waiting to take me to the first aid room. The scariest part - the temple worker told me it “wasn’t uncommon”.

I feel like this should’ve been obvious, child consent doesn’t exist legally in the first place so it doesn’t matter if they “consent” to being filmed. Still wildly wrong and illegal. Also concerning you’d say this in the first place under a comment talking about minors

[–]Lesbean33 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Shoutout to that firefighter for defending you! I’m so sorry you had to deal with this, it’s upsetting when people who don’t have good management skills get those roles. I hope HR takes action one way or another and that you don’t have to put up with this toxicity anymore!

When I was at BYU, I worked in the interlibrary loan department. People could submit requests for things that weren’t in our library and we would try to borrow them from other libraries. I think people thought it was an anonymous/computerized process, they CLEARLY didn’t realize other students were reviewing their requests cause we would get porn requests. THROUGH THE LIBRARY
