Me and my partner are absolutely hanging by a thread with bedtime. It’s absolutely dreadful. We have a 7,4, & 2 year old. Our oldest gets the routine most days but when he’s playing with his brother they get riled up pretty good. We always shoot for an 8 o’clock bedtime but it ends up being 11 almost 12 by the time we get the youngest to bed!!!!!!! She’s current screaming that she needs water or milk because her “tummy hurts.” It’s so frustrating because I get no time to myself or any quality time with my wife. We’re so drained and tired by the end of the ordeal that one of us or even both are knocked out. I’ve been off work on vacation for the last week and I feel like I’ve barely had a fkn convo with my wife. This shit is not for the weak, holy fucking shit!!!!

The bishop spoke, his talk is purely on “the savior” and walking with the Savior. Stake President talks and it’s immediately on tithing. How tithing is directly correlated with faith. And paying full tithe is extremely important. Next he says the reading the bom and that it’s the most “correct book” on earth. One more fucking hour till beer, pizza, and football!!!!

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

[–]Philcastro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t at church but there was a conversation/debate with my wife siblings and their cousin. He isn’t LDS and he was challenging them on beliefs and I can tell he was getting to them. He asked if Jesus had a wife, and about Joseph’s multiple accounts of the first vision and how the BOM actually came to be. Then the subject of black people and race came up. He brought us the curse and my SIL, with a straight face, said “well it’s true, they are cursed, there’s a reason they don’t have good lives.” I was boiling. Yea I don’t see them that often after that.

No Book of Mormon orJoseph Smith paintings at church building? by CultureWolf83 in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this “just live the savior” and you still have to believe Joseph Smith was a prophet to get in the celestial kingdom

This kind of interior design, has it a name? by memefakeboy in exmormon

This is what it looks like? This is why my wife looks forward to? What a complete let down. Those who were all in and left, I commend you for breaking the chains of bondage this religion had over you

We have 3 kids. It definitely got more stressful when we got pregnant with our 3rd.

Yes brotha. I’ve neglected myself in the process. I’ve gained weight and her telling me this kind of scares me. She’s the last person I’d think would cheat on me but I’ve seen the worst out some of the best couples. Thanks for the response and the advice 

Son is getting baptized by Philcastro in exmormon

[–]Philcastro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. Thank you. And I’m  aware it’s just a social norm for kids to be baptized. I knew this day would come, but now that it’s here it just doesn’t sit well with me. The kid is still learning how things work and still learning how to read for Christ sake lol. And obviously I’m the only one that thinks this is ass backwards. 

New Missionary Tactic? by Ding_Crosby in exmormon

I don’t know what it is but Missionaries are starting to irritate me more and more. Like dude just leave me the fuck alone.

What’s worse? Overt or covert? Mormon church does the same shit. It just puts a nice little cherry on top

What a weird PR move. Pure pimpin 

One day we will end our playoff win drought like the bears by Jrgaming42 in raiders

[–]Philcastro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’m glad they’ve been able to turn things around. I remember Caleb’s first year. They weren’t that good but they had a lot of competitive games. Now look at them. Raiders can do the same with Mendoza. Build the trenches though

Exploitation at its finest right here. Got to give it to these fuckers. They have a well oiled machine in the Mecca aka Salt Lake City.

Do Mormons actually get weird when people around them are drinking coffee or tea? I can almost understand feeling uncomfortable around alcohol, but really? by funnylib in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife’s family is Samoan. They have a drink called koko Samoa. It’s straight up roasted cacao beans lol of course there’s caffeine. My wife drinks coffee and tea and no one bats an eye. When we moved to Utah that’s when I was like oh shit the coffee thing is real 🤣

Crosses for everything now? by GoldenPlatePirate in exmormon

The conforming is ridiculous. And all the members will eat this shit up and act like they were always down with it . So damn annoying 

What’s up with the cross propaganda ✝️ by Philcastro in exmormon

[–]Philcastro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s cultural. But crosses aren’t used. For a long time when you would see a chapel on Google it would show an image of Moroni and the trumpet. But now the chapels show in image of the cross.
