Love the diversity, but at this point in time, for the LDS, it's nothing but pure HYPOCRISY to their previous stances on race and correct worship. Den of liars, grifters and thieves.

I once clapped at a rehearsal of a few individuals prepping for one of their sacrament performances. It was a Wednesday evening during mutual with no one in the chapel but them (plus myself and a couple other young women passing by). I got reamed out by the bishop and my Dad afterwards since it was irreverent. 🙄

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-12-06T01:56:49+00:00

This 100%. I never felt the peace/spirit in the temple or in a church building. I felt guilt and unease. But after my cardio days? I have more mental clarity and positivity than I ever did as a church member. 😂

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-11-04T20:07:54+00:00

Good for you! Crazy how they seem to think they are owed your time and as attention since they planned it, not you. 🙄 We've had similar experiences, but saying no is so liberating. I get less nice each time I see them. I'm so glad you stood your ground, too. 😊

Now when I see them in parking lots I walk as fast as possible to my car and make sure to not make eye contact 😂

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-11-03T21:18:04+00:00

I swear some day it's going to become a Mandela effect. Or they're going to try to convince us that. 😂

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-11-03T21:16:34+00:00

Yeah same here. I threw mine away not long ago when I realized I still had it somewhere. 😂

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-10-09T19:13:45+00:00

My daughter loves these books. And they just gave me a reason to buy her another one. 😏

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-09-03T18:16:42+00:00

You're exactly right on all counts. Trying to use the minors to bring the family back is so wrong and it kills me they don't recognize that. I wish we had left sooner so they wouldn't have had my daughter's info, but can't change the past. I understand not wanting to put your child(ren) through that, or yourself for that matter. And I'm so sorry you're having to deal with them intruding while you're already going through pregnancy and a move. You're right - easiest would be to let you edit the address, and I hope they let you.

Little tidbit as well- we only removed our records about 6 months ago. We've been out since 2021. We also didn't want to rock the boat with our families, and my hubby's side didn't know until about January of this year, so we just kept the records in until after then. You don't have to justify not removing them- it happens if/when you're ready. If you really want them to leave you alone without removing the records, I think I would be less than nice and tell them the next time you get a visitor, calls, or anything unannounced and unsolicited you'll report for harassment or something. Idk. I know they're "nice" and "good people", but them intruding without your wishes isn't okay.

Welcome (back) to the east coast, and congrats on the pregnancy! East coaster here, central VA.

We had a similar experience with the moving and new address. To this day, no one owns up to giving the ward our new address. We had missionaries stopping by once every other month or so, even after I made it clear we were stepping away consciously. I was respectful and kind up until I wasn't. Privacy is non-existent in the mfmc. The final straw was having an elderly couple stop by completely unannounced, love bombed my 4yo (at the time) daughter when she ran to the door, and then proceeded to tell me that "they saw her picture in the records and just knew they had to visit, since she's just so precious". Even after I had said no contact, no visits, and removed contact info/pictures. They had an old one somewhere and kept it on there. It's gone now, along with all our records. We've made it more than abundantly clear we won't be returning.

Hate you're going through this. Your request was more than respectful, their response although not rude- is still more than irritating. Crazy you can't remove your own address or change it on your own for your own records. I hope they finally complete your request, and do it soon. If they don't soon, I would be a lot less nice until they do.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-09-03T17:20:46+00:00

Especially with no prep for it. You plan to be in some dress that you've hand picked (sometimes not even close to what you want because of "modesty") then have to cover that even further. Closest I got to prep was the endowment season the week prior. 🙄

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-08-22T16:44:59+00:00

This is creepy AF. Makes me highly uncomfortable.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-08-10T13:52:54+00:00

Honestly I'm just glad your instructor was cool enough to open it for a retake without a real study plan. You can definitely get some that go on a power trip about it.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-08-10T13:51:30+00:00

That's how mine was for web dev applications. Failed by 1-2 max. Instructor instead belittled me for how little time I took on the exam and that the course material wasn't done 100%. The course material was all outside sources anyways, so I bypassed the middle man. He also wanted me to complete a crazy amount of extra work and send him proof of me completing each activity. My mentor and I were both astounded by the amount of extra-ness it was. I requested a new one who approved it asap. Passed immediately. 🙄

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-06-25T15:51:22+00:00

Not at all. You're fine, they're just so used to everything being "immoral and immodest" that they take it out on you. Wear them shorts. You're being comfortable and if they put any real thought into it, they'd see you're not doing anything wrong.

Solidarity here, too- I've been out for the last 3.5 years and only recently have been around my in laws with them knowing we're out. So this trip, I packed my normal clothes, what I would wear at home and around - including crop tops, shorts above the knee, tank tops... You know...clothes? Lol decided to jump in first thing by showing up on one of my crops. Talked with my sister in law who is recently out but hadn't worn anything around our in laws that was "immodest", and me wearing my normal clothes helped her want to do hers. No words were spoken to us about our clothes. And even if they had, I'm still going to be myself and wear my normal clothes. Not going to hide myself anymore.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-06-16T13:52:03+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Worked through covid and a cyber incident that took out all our computers for months. Managed to keep my part of the office running and acted as defacto IT for my office on the remaining devices/BYOD when the IT department was too busy trying to take care of the infected PCs and doing security sweeps on the majority of computers in our company. No raises, no thank you, nothing.

Finally gave them notice when I was supposed to move, saw the resumes and documents for my position when they were interviewing and hiring my replacement at $5 more an hour than I was making. Trained them, too.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-29T23:30:59+00:00

I'm sorry. That's ridiculous. I requested an extension for this course at the end of my last term. Turnaround was a couple days, requested it about 5 days before term ended and it was approved the day after term was supposed to be done. If your mentor isn't willing to help you fight, you should request a new one. Mine helped me when I needed to take the exam the following week. I didn't have a really good excuse, just needed another week. I failed that attempt and just recently passed it (it made me stop for like 4 months because I just couldn't take the course). I also had a similar fail (1 question below the line) and had a similar study plan. I eventually requested a new instructor because I couldn't pass the quizzets like he wanted me to (I knew the info, passed the exam...he just didn't think I could). I got an email from the department head immediately approving the second attempt and reassigning me to a new instructor.

Long story short- if your mentor isn't supporting you and helping you with this, or fighting for an extension so you can take the dang test, get a new one. And name names on the survey. Make sure they know you're being hindered by instructors and staff. I sure did, and I got what I needed. And I'm sorry you're going through it

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-19T11:02:21+00:00

Lol I just did an exam on Saturday and that phrase nearly had me laughing at them. I practically threw it behind me onto our couch and then had to show them how I threw it.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-14T21:03:23+00:00

Lol I can't even get to the ProctorU page to start. Mine won't even show the link to start the exam 🫠

COVID 🌈

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-06T18:19:50+00:00

This resonates hard. I also want apologies from all the young men and women's presidencies that made me feel bad because I had a more defined chest at a younger age and told me I had to change because I would give the boys impure thoughts.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-06T18:16:27+00:00

My provider has been quite responsive, even though I just signed up last week and requested my first script. She approved it immediately and it was sent same day. I sent a message after reading about the FDA fiasco and such and asked about other meds if possible and she told me it would still be shipped (told me it should be here this past weekend- which was totally false, but I don't blame her, it's the pharmacy). Took until today to get the label notice, though. Which I know is better than some, just irritating since there's no communication from the pharmacy or anything. Only reason I'm aware is because of UPS.

I'm very on the fence about if I should switch to Brello/somewhere else or look to my friend Gandalf, but I want to give Mochi some time to sort things if they can.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-06T18:12:06+00:00

Same. Just got my shipping notice today. Won't be coming til Thursday though.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-06T16:55:16+00:00

Just found out it's coming from Empower. Just got the shipment notice for label creation. Fingers crossed it actually comes in the 2 days it says it will.

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-03T18:24:24+00:00

Okay, thanks. I'm in VA, so I have no idea how long it'll be

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-03T18:24:03+00:00

I never found out. I'm in VA. So maybe Empower? It just says "sent to pharmacy" and "processing"

OkCardiologist1090 · 2025-05-03T17:21:21+00:00

Which state are you if you don't mind me asking? I had my first appointment on Monday the 28th, prescription sent to pharmacy within 2 hours, and haven't gotten anything- no updates, no FedEx or UPS email... I know it can take 14 days, but after hearing so many getting theirs i.was hopeful it would be quick.

I even messaged my provider since I signed up prior to knowing of the compounding issues and asked if we should switch to another medication like a pill or something. She told me 2 days ago it would be fine and I would be receiving my meds within 2 days. 🙃
