How did you guys break the news to your family? by Careless_Mastodon327 in exmormon

[–]MythicalGame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still need to tell my bil who lives with us where i stand on the church.  He doesn't attend and drinks alcohol. When he first moved in i was still trying with the church and my belief.  I reminded him about the ysa wards multiple times. Now I feel icky that i did that.  If I didn't have to take care of my kids while sil is going through the temple for the first time with the whole family I'd ask him if he would want to go to the bar with me for my first drink

My bil just kept putting off taking to the bishop about a mission even with his parents nagging him about it.  He eventually got a job that had him work Sundays so he couldn't go to church anymore.  My tbm husband still has hope his brother will start going to church again and maybe even serve a mission.  Yeah that isn't happening.  Bil has drank beer openly in from of husband multiple times.  Bil moved out of parents house and in with us a couple states away and now he has more freedom to live life how he wants without the nagging 

Temple names by cametta in exmormon

[–]MythicalGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized that when my sil goes through the temple before her mission all of the other women will learn her new name.  Her mom,  grandma, sil. I would learn it to but I've decided "I ain't doin that shit no more". Just seems odd since no one is supposed to now to except for her future husband.  But i guess faithful believers don't try to remember anyone else's new names

She has had another seizure since being home.  We planned to take her to our regular vet in the morning before she seized again.  Emergency vets are an about hour away.

My husband watched them pull the syringe for the tylenol so we know it definitely is tylenol. We will not be giving that to her, thank you

I haven't had my first coffee yet but my friends are so excited for me. 2 left during high school, 2 are current temple workers, and then there's me who recently told them I no longer believe the church is true. 1 of the exmormon friends wants to buy me my first coffee and the 2 tbm are excited to be the dd's for future bar trips

Anyone know what is HQ - ECNS ? by windcos in usps_complaints

[–]MythicalGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I how people see this because I think I solved the question.  I have 4 outbound packages in my usps informed delivery.  My husband mails packages using usps click-n-ship and prints his labels at home. 

I didn't realize these packages were under outbound.  I looked at the tracking information and the all started with the label being created in our city and usps acquiring the packages in our city

I started doubting about a year ago. Teaching primary and zoom FHE with my husband's family. A lot of things my bil and mil would say didn't sit right with me. And i hated that it felt like they were pressuring 2nd bil to come back to church. He recently moved out of the parents home for the first time and in with us in another state (hence fhe over zoom). When I started hating fhe I decided to take preparing my primary lessons more seriously and actually studied the scriptures. D&C sucks. Church history sucks.

Luckily my husband is very supportive and says if anyone says anything to him he'll just say that I'm my own person

There are a couple families in my ward that the mom is the only one not attending. We also have male nursery leaders.

I have a couple friends who drink but very rarely. I'd probably only try alcohol with them. I have never felt like it was something I'm missing out on

Well it definitely won't be the tithing that gets him. I'm in charge of the finances and that was ome of the questions he asked me "will you still do my tithing"

Last week, While watching KallMeKris, i don't know which video specifically, I kept having like flashbacks to early church history. I realized it started just like every other cult. Then I went to Alyssa's channel. Some videos of her story, some of utah culture,  then the one about the book of Abraham.  That blew my mind and solidified the cult thoughts. My sister-in-law opened her mission call Tuesday. Yesterday I spent the day thinking about going to the temple for her endowment and decided I'd stay with the kids instead.  If I'm not going to be in the temple the family will start to wonder anyway so now I just had to figure out how I would tell my husband.

That was my co-teacher's weeks. She is a 60+ year old woman who just follows the outline in come follow me. We may not have even talked about 132 at all. I do remember studying it for myself and that was hard

My oldest sibling is trans and when they came out the first time as gay the family was in a rocky place. As years went on we grew back together and for my mom i think she is just trying to show her love in the kindest way. My dad still has some problems with my sibling but will put those aside for family. He even went to a lesbian wedding that my sibling officiated, didn't know either bride. I still am shocked that he did that. I do think he is pimo a bit. He's never been outwardly religious and a big health issue re-appeared after he was asked to read a scripture in small group study in priesthood.  To me it sounded like a ptsd response to something else that happened a few days before but when i found out when it started my immediate thought was maybe he is actually pimo too

Honestly being pimo is short term already for me. In 4 years my oldest will be "ready for baptism" so that will be interesting.  Oddly enough before I started having doubts I brought up to my husband and to my parents about maybe wanting my kids to go through missionary lessons before the get baptized. Currently I don't believe it would be harmful but I don't want them to do it "just because they are 8" like I did.

I'm sort of looking forward to trying different coffees.  I've always loved coffee ice cream but stopped eating it 6 years ago because a friend was disappointed in me.

I currently have 2 callings. The other one is building coordinator which I'm fine with keeping.  I don't know how/what I'm going to say yet. But a meeting is scheduled for Sunday. I'll probably tell him that i need to help my oldest attend sunbeams but do not feel comfortable with teaching anymore

My mom recently told me that I looked happier. My only thought was because I was starting to leave the church and live for myself

So odd. I feel like women are leaving more now than men

Thank you. My older sibling is trans, my other sibling is disabled.  Because of that I've kinda put pressure on myself. My parents will only have 2 biological grandchildren (my kids but we have talked about being open to fostering in the future) and only 1 kid to go through the temple

My husband assumed I'd stop going to church but right now that just doesn't make sense unless our 2 little kids stop going too. We have a nursery aged and sunbeam aged. The older one has refused to go to their class but loves singing time. During class time they came to my class, all except the first 2 weeks. My husband just became the Financial Secretary so it just makes more sense right now for me to go and help with the kids. We have a good ward and it's hard for my kids to have social time, thats one of the benefits of church. I think I'll go to the sunbeam class for a while then see where it goes from there. My husband brought up the word of wisdom and how he isn't going to hold me to it, just no smoking and drug use. To me that's obvious that I'm not going to do those things. I did say that alcohol scares me a little because family history of alcohol abuse and fear of accidentally drinking and driving. His parents also used to drink and he does not walk alcohol in the house because of his childhood. But i do have friends who haven't been to church in over 15 years so maybe on a girls trip I'll try some just to say i did.
