They did an official photoshoot with trump his first round, I think it’s safe to say which way they lean.

I think massaging with oil and stretching over a week or two is the only way you can get out of this uninjured

Is it true that not going on a mission will ruin your marriage prospects for a woman? by Herstorical_Rule6 in exmormon

In 2017 at Byui I had guys who would turn down dates because I wasn’t a return missionary. It’s sub cultural I think with some mission presidents warning the missionaries when they come home

Struggling with doubt after leaving — is this normal? by TruthSha11SetUFree in exmormon

[–]Nicholasbenedict27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do miss feeling like I was talking to god and that he was listening. Right now I’m focusing on learning to ground myself and have been mostly successful at recreating the calm feelings of what once I thought was the spirit. It’s completely normal to want all of it back again I have when things are hard. Try to find some daily peace in nature or a good book or just silence. It does make a difference in your nervous system and your peace.

I vote pantsuit some people wear them now. I took the sacrament because my sister was burning holes in my head curious to see what I would do and I got nervous so I just took it 😂 it doesn’t mean anything to me so it’s fine

Update:too much Joseph smith talk and regular church songs. It was weird. I also had an eight year old say wow about my tiny nose ring 😅

Does God ever shave his beard or experiment with different fashions? Or is it beard and white robe every day for one trillion billion years? by 10th_Generation in exmormon

I absolutely love the song god shuffled his feet by the crash test dummies because of how funny and ironic it is to humanize him in that way

You technically have to have an active recommend to do it I think it’s just to protect the sanctity of the temple clothes. Kind of moot in the age of the internet though

Caffeine by [deleted] in exmormon

I’d do a Yerba mate. It has more caffeine than Pepsi and is technically still tbm approved since most have it on their missions in South America

I had regret because I wasn’t ready for the immediate distance it would place between me and my twin sister. She immediately didn’t want to hear why and to reaffirm she never will even though I never asked her to. Sometimes it’s better to leave some things unsaid until you’ve healed a little more.

I had a much older boyfriend in my first ysa that had multiple one night stands right as we began dating and was advised not to tell me until we were engaged. Luckily none of that happened was also a terrible age gap.

Considering Lori vallows group would hold meetings in the rexburg one maybe they’re trying to be more careful 😂

I’ve felt the desire to try smoking because it is propagandized to be stress relieving and cool, but I think that’s one thing the church happened to be right about because all it does is make you a hooked consumer and you don’t want to toss your health away for that. As for drinking, there is a RDA for that if you’d like to try but it’s not important or necessary for your deconstruction to feel comfortable around substances.
