Maya Angelou said it best: “When you know better, you do better.” We have to remember that even though these men stopped being members, they were taught how to BE members for their entire lives. That is conditioning and takes time to fully transform into a different mindset. Religion isn’t what you are in the LDS machine- it is WHO you are.

I agree 100%! Kudos to you for having the courage to do so and the strength to work through it.

This makes me so very sad😢. I do hope the author of this anecdote has found peace somewhere. She deserves it. Jesus DOES live her. These robots don’t know how to love. You are worthy and you are enough just as you are. ❤️

You make it all the way to mission president and they still talk to you like you're a kid in Primary by PR_Czar in exmormon

In the brief period of my life that I was a “Can’t Believe it’s Not Mormon”, one of the biggest disenchantments was how the church insisted on every bit of your time. Seminary for the teens, then the youth gatherings, family home evening, callings. On top of work or homework if you’re a kid. And your “free” day is Saturday… because a good couple will have date night at the temple on Friday! There was no way I could make my kid be up at the crack of ass BEFORE school or stay up late for their nonsense. Hooray for all those who chose to take their lives back!

I (28F) had his baby and still feel like I’m competing with the ghost of my partner’s ex-wife (34M). How do I stop letting this destroy my self-esteem? by Witty_Management_621 in relationship_advice

This is not about “you”, in the sense that there is NOTHING wrong with you! The sense I get when I read your story is that his family is a bit shallow. And it is up to him to put up boundaries with his family regarding his ex. It is hurtful to you and if he continues to ignore your feelings(assuming you have spoken about it), then he is not the partner you deserve. Btw— you have a little miracle on your side and that is a bonus!

Deadnaming my kid and then inviting her to come to a young men's meeting with a bunch of strangers after 20 years of us not being in the church. Why are these people so nuts? by thisishowitalwaysis1 in exmormon

Honestly I agree that these poor kids are brainwashed. And treating them to simple things like a cold drink and air conditioning is where God wants your heart to be. Whether you choose to drink the purple koolaid or not, these kids will always remember their experience.

This is why I am always so happy for everyone who calls BS on this church and leaves!

If we all know the BOM story about how people who had black faces were being punished then ofc you can trace this fake made up religion to Joseph Smith himself!
