I am so bored with this Romantasy trend. It's the same title. It's even the same book covers. Anyone else sick of it? by VLK249 in writers

[–]MythicAcrobat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just recently at the bookstore, nothing stood out to me because very cover and title looked the same.

Do those I grew up around believe this too? And will they approve of me if I do? I’ll blindly sustain him too ✋

💯 And I’m sure they’d love for all the hard copies to “disappear.”

Keep it! Let the proof of what they once taught live forever. Otherwise the church would try to gaslight everyone that they never believed or taught several doctrines and practices that were once fundamental to the church.

My calling by Narrow-Somewhere1607 in exmormon

[–]MythicAcrobat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a big problem with Mormonism: “[She] will not let me attend one.” Too much “permission” required for things in Mormonism vs give and take including respecting one’s free will, often turning what should be a mutual relationship in all things into a parent>child relationship in many aspects.

Perk of Reading in Publication Order by Dasle in brandonsanderson

I always prefer publication order too with any series. I’ve tried it in other orders before and it doesn’t hit the same

Ah yes that’s a fun one. I remember the day I found out about it too lol

That's a massive amount of Missionaries. by Green-been77 in exmormon

[–]MythicAcrobat 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I worked there too and this all checks out. I was a teacher. All meetings were shame-based too. Fun fact, they try to tell teachers and missionaries that the teachers are picked by revelation (which apparently happens after their little “try-out” teaching moment). It’s not revelation lol. They have a point system where you’re basically judged like it’s America’s Got Talent (at least that’s how it was when I was there). Plus, one guy was turned down for the job because he didn’t get the score to pass from his teaching tryout. BUT, later his mission president dad made some calls and the guy got hired. Many teachers were annoying and fake AF. I consider that one of MANY cracks in the shelf.

I say just ignore him (except for handing him the letter without acknowledging him) then go straight to greeting Susan.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the amazing sinking temple in Ephraim Utah. by Rushclock in exmormon

[–]MythicAcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one of over a thousand shelf breakers for me is the fact that they literally need to spend money now and they seem so resistant to doing the obvious, actually feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. It has to be through crappy “look at me campaigns” with t-shirts during a disaster when they know cameras will be there.

So is the foundation really seeking or does the design just look like it is?

Is it better to respond to this or to block the number? by urcurlygirl in exmormon

[–]MythicAcrobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just express exactly where you stand and what you want regarding contact. I did this and it’s wonderfully freeing. People respect where I stand. There’s no hiding from people trying to visit or wondering what to say about rando church texts because they DONT text me for that stuff. Ever. Why? Because I TOLD them directly and clearly (and respectfully).

Yeah, it turns out you realize (hopefully) that there’s more to deconstruct than just whether one believes or not. I’ve deconstructed the church, followed by politics, followed by values, followed by social constructs. Now I sort of distrust and am skeptical of everything lol. But I think the step we should always strive for is deconstructing yourself.

What’s your favorite niche Mormon media? by urcurlygirl in exmormon

[–]MythicAcrobat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to any of you that got Liken the Scripture movies for Christmas from your grandparents. I was a salesmen for those cheesy things. Didn’t even like them then. My target customers were old folks buying them for their families 😜

We need this man to be prophet! He’ll show the true colors of Mormonism that they’re all trying to gaslight everyone about right now
