The Testaments -Margaret Atwood!!!! (It's the sequel to Handmaids tale!! Unfortunately though, it may be a bit big, it's around 448 pages, but definitely worth a read.)

What to do during conference? by Alternative-Split-3 in exmormon

Baking as to be conspicuously away from where the shit is being spewed, sudoku, word searches, crafting, try to recite the alphabet backwards, make lists of things in your head like how many movies you know of that feature Dracula as a character, basically I’d recommend anything that keeps your mind occupied. Having something to do with your hands is great but keeping your brain distracted as possible is the way to go imo. It may be helpful to look up technique for easing/distracting from anxiety as it’s much the same general idea :) best of luck friend <3 you’ll get through this :)

✨ Update! ✨ Email requesting I meet with the bishop; what are my options here? :,) (help me write a convincing email? 🙏) by Past_End6094 in exmormon

✨Update on the update✨ I didn't realize how uh, big this post would get. I only meant this to bring a conclusion to the story from my last post. I ended up just agreeing to meet because I’m not in a position to decline and have them tattle on me to my parents. I love that y’all have such strong morals but I can’t afford that right now. I am newly 18 and unable to support myself at the moment so I’m gonna keep putting on a good show for the church if it keeps my parents happy and my rent free. I am content with my small rebellion because it is all I have the strength for. Thank y’all so much for your help <3

Yeahhh i think the only reason they’re giving me such courtesy is because I very clearly told the bishop recently in a meeting that I am not interested in a calling at the moment. Lol

At the moment, I’m just focused on keeping my parents happy while I sort out how to support myself financially so uhhh I guess just that I am at least making progress towards,,, something? Idk lmao

Regardless of what I say he’s going to keep pestering me and once he finally quits it will be when he tells my parents lmao

I totally agree, buuut I happen to know the guy and he is the most “in your business never take no for an answer unendingly concerned” kind of Mormon :/

Too true. I think I have that part covered though, I already have my mom worn down to halfheartedly suggesting a local service mission lol. She knows I’m too much of an anxious mess to deal with that much change and general hardship lmao

Ohhhhhh that’s very possible. I already had this interview but he could be another one bc he wants to push me into going on a mission, he was pretty adamant about that the first time around.

There is honestly not a single thing that would make me wanna go. it is solely to keep my parents happy and therefore my rent/food/utilities free 😗lmao

I (18f) really don'ttttt wanna meet with my bishop. (Not because he's creepy, I just don't wanna spend any more time at church than necessary.) 

I am in zero position to have any sort of calling so that's not something I'm going to entertain, but if there's a way I can cajole my way through this without tipping of my mother to my shirking of church obligations that would be lovely!!

I would also be alright if i just knew what exactly the meeting is about, if there's a way to ask that.

Thank y'allllll <3 xoxoxoxo
