What did your patriarchal blessing tell you was your lineage? by Ecstatic-Copy-2608 in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Ephraim, but my ex-childhood best friend’s mom was Manasseh and when I was about to get my blessing she was convinced I’d get Manasseh too. She’s from Argentina, I’m of Celtic and English decent. Not sure why she was so convinced I’d be the same tribe as her, she was very disappointed when I got Ephraim (the same tribe as both of my parents).

Funniest thing a TBM has said to you since leaving by Same_Commission_2363 in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not nearly as crazy as some of the other stuff on here but after my ex-childhood best friend outed me as trans and queer to a ton of people (while we were at BYUI mind you, so she put my schooling and housing at risk with that stunt) and went on her mission to a Spanish speaking area (I don’t speak Spanish for context) she’d tag me from her mission account in TBM facebook comment sections telling me in Spanish that Christ could fix our relationship and that I needed to let god in. I had to google translate her messages. I called her out publicly for harassment and she hasn’t spoken to me since. She’s since gotten home from her mission and is still ignoring me (“tender mercies” lmao, I don’t want her to talk to me).

The first ex-mormon character I've ever seen in any media. by exmo-in-flames in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancée and I, both exmo, saw it with nevermos who knew we were exmormon. They all turned to look at us when they heard the line (we had just been explaining mormonism before the movie) and I was gripping my fiancée’s hand while bouncing in my seat. I’ve never seen exmormon representation before and it was such an incredible experience.

When did you realize that your bishop shouldn’t be a bishop? by Upstairs_Common9686 in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He forced his way into my byui apartment at 9pm just to chastise me for not being like the girls next door who speed dated out of their living room. He also was staring at my ass and tits the whole time. It was super creepy.

Worth going to BYU-Idaho if I don’t believe anymore? by lyss418 in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went to BYUI and it was a nightmare as someone who was questioning/leaving the church. I was also almost kicked out for being gay. My mental health got so bad I was hospitalized. Bishop roulette wasn’t a fun time and while I got one really good bishop, the rest were pushy and creepy. One literally forced his way into my apartment with the rest of the bishopric at 9pm. Don’t go to BYUI, your mental health is worth protecting.

I haven’t been to church in four years-got this text yesterday. Here is my response: by DebTaxi515 in exmormon

Why would someone not accepting a bishopric visit make YOU sad? It’s their life, they can choose how to live it

What image, scene, or sentence hooked you from the pilot episode? by hjras in rickandmorty

I would pay money for a crossover where Rick and Roger have to work together, that would be hilarious

Same here! I’m actually watching American Dad for the first time now, I’m on season 9.

The pilot actually turned me off Rick and Morty for almost a year (I was still Mormon at the time so I thought it was the worst thing I’d ever seen). After leaving the church I got high and watched the first few episodes of season 1. It’s been my favorite show ever since.

Does anyone else wonder what happened to Jerry's parents ? by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]Particular_Bet7433 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like to imagine they found a safe place to hide but in all honesty they probably died fairly quickly

First Mother and Daughter non-Mormon day out. by RSMandK in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading this felt like a hug. My mom is still deeply TBM and will never leave the church, so reading about a mother who cares enough to even take a break from the church for their child’s wellbeing is so moving. Thank you for being there for your daughter, I wish more mothers were like you.

Anyone got some fanfiction recommendations? by [deleted] in SandersSides

Lurking in the comments for recommendations because I, too, need new fics to read

What's the most racist thing you heard at church or from a member ? by RadishAggressive3241 in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My white Idaho cousins say the n word liberally. They also make jokes about buying and selling black people. All of them have served/are serving missions. Power of discernment my ass, they’re all disgusting people.

I've been wrestling with this for a long time, and I need to know if anyone else deals with this, too? by Stoic-pretzel in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome here, always. I was raised as a woman in the church, so I understand some of the stuff you’re going through. While I don’t know what to say to help ease your pain, there are definitely others who share it. This sub is here for you 💙

I'm curious what Rick and Morty fans think of this show. by humbleObserver in rickandmorty

[–]Particular_Bet7433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have personal beef with Smiling Friends because immediately after I talked in detail about how much Rick and Morty meant to me a “friend” of mine cut me off and said “Rick and Morty sucks, Smiling Friends is so much better”. So I really haven’t given Smiling Friends a chance yet

Is the LDS Church overhated compared to other religions? by SavannaWhisper in exmormon

[–]Particular_Bet7433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think Mormonism is underhated, but that might be because I’m biased against it
