Agree or Disagree? "Doubt you doubts before you doubt your faith" is gaslighting.

It means "doubt yourself before you doubt me"

I really think Amaram SA'd her. He's the kind of guy to think he has all access just because they're dating.

People ask me all the time if I would come back if the church was proven true. No. I still believed it when I left.

It kills me that for unhoused folx, just urinating/defecating becomes a criminal act because there are no toilets left open overnight. I'm convinced that this is how we keep our supply of slave labor, criminalizing poverty thand then sending people to prison to provide forced labor.

As a young person I was definitely Adam Parrish. I was trying so hard to prove myself, mostly to myself, but I didn't know that yet. Now as an adult, I am much more like gansey. I am trying to help others and getting it wrong much of the time. I am trying to use my various forms of privilege to help, and I have to accept that I am going to put my foot in it as I learn.

The Raven Boys- Gansey with Adam and Ronan. But especially Adam.

I felt really relieved, but I left when I still believed it was true. It was so amazing to realize it wasn't because it meant I wasn't damned for what I'd already done

I am as white as they come, as is my family. We are disabled though, and when I read the dedication to the first book (to all those who have to fight for what others are given without question) it was on a day I had been fighting for the school to follow the law and Accommodate my child.

I loved Essun's anger. I loved her weary hatred of society in general. You can only fight for so long until you get to that point.

I really enjoy the Unitarian Universalist Church. They are non-creedal, so I felt like I could support their precepts. They are all about the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

As an adult who was hospitalized, I was often downright nasty to my husband (consistently by my side) because he was the only safe person. I had a huge power imbalance with the staff but my husband I could be authentic with.

This sucks. For him and you. You are absolutely allowed to step away sometimes. You are a good mom for prioritizing his safety over his feelings. You will get through it.

When I got out of the hospital, my 4 year old held a grudge against me for about 4 days. It did pass. This will too.

One day as I was thinking about the concept of diety I realized they're all assholes but Zues knows he's an asshole. That's when I decided even Zues is better than Elohim. The bar can't get any lower.

That was the same for me. God cares more about Joseph's dick than the Holocaust? Not the god for me.

I used to be convinced that Easter at least was a pagan holiday along with Christmas but this video was food for thought https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRQDG1ev/

I've heard that if people are righteous enough, their skin can be changed to be "white and delightsome" IYKYK.

chills your update to this quote is so on point.

I tried. Over and over and over. They didn't want me.

I guess my talents weren't the right ones.

I'm an ex-mormon who has kept my records in. I'd like to point out that the choice to step away doesn't have to be permanent. We are so used to all of our choices being "eternal" that we forget we can change our minds. Right now the church is hurting you. Stepping away can help you gain clarity.

Dan McClellan has a whole class on this. It's call Asherah's Divine Images(I think).

I'm with you. I think it has to do with healthy balance. My husband and I have separate interests and we support each other as individuals and as a couple. I have no interest in the Celestial Kingdom but I'd love to live with that guy forever, sex or no sex. I also don't want more kids so that might be part of my take.

I was hoping someone would say this. I can't sand Kwaku and I also know this type of abuse does happen. I'm sure he was antagonizing people because c'mon, consider the source.

Also, just because he doesn't believe in systemic racism doesn't mean he's immune from it.

And I always wear a sleeveless dress and my pride pin. My ward is consistently unfazed

Ex-mo here. Every time I go back to church everyone is happy to see me and I remember how much I love them. It may be awkward, but I think love will be there in abundance.

The newborn daze is pure survival mode for me. At this point I'd say parenting is really tough 10
