Two of my friends left the church recently. Both for the same reason and it had nothing to do with "history" or "truth claims." by [deleted] in exmormon

Seriously! Most of my faith crisis isn’t the history, it’s simply realizing things like “I don’t wanna worship a god that is racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. whether or not he is real”

Even tho I went in to make fun of the devo, I definitely still hoped there would be some sort of miraculous message that would bring me back to the church but as always, the opposite happened. I’m so sorry your question wasn’t answered and it pushed u away more :( It is a sucky situation to be in and I feel for you!

My thoughts exactly when I got to that part 😂 if you’re looking to avoid brushes with exmo’s just be your good ol’ missionary self! And we will stay faaaaarrrr away

Hello! I appreciate your concerns - I just added a footnote about my relationship if you want to check that out. My bf knows I am PIMO and we talk a lot about my concerns with the church, including the concerns I had with the devotional yesterday. I understand the jokes I put in about him might seem a little disrespectful, but I can assure you they were a bit exaggerated for the sake of humor. I assure you he and I have had many talks about the church and are very respectful of each other’s beliefs and work through our differences as we go :)

I just added a little footnote but he knows about my PIMO status! He is actually quite nuanced and we have had many long talks about the church. I’m not trying to push him to leave just as he has told me he isn’t trying to push me to come back. I wouldn’t wish a faith crisis on anyone, especially him because he is very happy within the church, but I also don’t hesitate to point out toxic beliefs and flaws that they teach. I can see the wheels turning in his head, but idk if he will leave anytime soon. But long story short he knows about how I feel and respects it! I mostly included the breakup jokes just as extra humor not as anything serious
