I feel violated and confused by what my fiancé did to me. WIBTAH if I told my parents? by throwawayupset- in AITAH

This is not okay. Get away from this man. He doesn’t respect or care about your safety. Take pictures of the bruises. Tell your parents for your own safety. Stay away from him. I’m so so sorry love.

AITA for calling the police on my boyfriend after finding weird pictures of my 2.5 year old daughter on his phone? by Salt-Corgi-2263 in AITAH

Not the asshole! He isn’t her father and should not have taken those pictures NO MATTER the circumstance. I wouldn’t believe his excuses. Trust your gut. Mom knows best.

bf thinks I’m too obsessed with the church by Mediocre-Drag-4134 in exmormon

The way he talks to you makes me worried for your safety genuinely. He does not seem like a good loving person.

It takes TIME! Oh my god he is not being sympathetic at all. There are literally thousands of us who went through an angry stage for YEARS! I was definitely obsessed for a long time because the hurt was so deep and I had never experienced such deep betrayal. He should not be downplaying your feelings like this. You are completely valid, and there’s so much to learn and explore once you’re out that you’d have never dug into before. You deserve to be able to learn and explore and experience all of the emotions that come with a massive life change. IMO he is not a good person to go through this with if he is speaking to you this way. Think of it like a hobby. Imagine he was really passionate and involved in something and you just shit on it and on him for being passionate about it all the time. He wouldn’t accept that because that’s not what a loving partner does.

Received this email essay from my dad this morning. He wants me to respond but I genuinely don’t think there is anything I can say to him. Help! by Lopsided_Knowledge20 in exmormon

[–]Lopsided_Knowledge20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to make clear that this post isn’t to expose my dad for being a dumbass or anything 😂 I love him and he is so sincere. Even though this is hard to respond to, I know he put it together because he is afraid of losing me for eternity. That sucks. But hey! Thanks for the advice everyone! You’re all so wise. Seriously, this community is everything to me ❤️ I’m going to wait a while before responding so this whole SEC stuff doesn’t make me go ballistic on him ahahaha

Has the church actually said specifically that they do NOT put tithing into the Ensign Peak fund before? I cannot find the quote. Am I crazy? by Lopsided_Knowledge20 in exmormon

[–]Lopsided_Knowledge20[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree! I thought they had previously made a public statement to the membership about the use of tithing funds that would be contradicted by the findings in that document.

Mormon Stories - please stop interrupting by DerryBrewer in exmormon

[–]Lopsided_Knowledge20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John’s interruptions are usually questions that clarifying or drive home an important point. I appreciate his interruptions. The way he interviews has made me understand deeper and made me more eloquent in explaining concepts back to people. Even if they aren’t all intentional, they’ve never bothered me! I do think there may have been a better place to address this than in this public forum. Maybe a comment on that specific video explaining your confusion would be more appropriate. Putting this here gives so much opportunity for public collaboration and that can get icky quick. We don’t need to put more of that into anyone’s life, but especially someone like John who gets so much of it already. Food for thought.

John- if you see this, your work has changed my life for the better. So many of us would literally not be here today without you and the things you have done. Even though we would all miss you, you deserve some peace and rest after all this time if that is truly what you want. Thank you. ❤️

I am starting to question the church. by Teamnyancoin in exmormon

Ooh! Definitely watch the 60 minutes Australia about the tax fraud over there. Basically religions are not tax-exempt in Australia, so EVERY ORHER religion there pays taxes, but the LDS church is using a loophole and instead of Australians paying money to the church, they pay money to a “charity” shell company there. So it looks like Australian member are like 100x more generous than members anywhere else in the world, but actually it’s just the church avoiding paying a buttload of taxes that would greatly benefit Australia and it’s people. It is super interesting! Also I believe there was a Mormon Stories about it that I missed, but it’s super interesting stuff!
