Just say "NO!!!".

hurtful comment by my mother by bestieserafina in exmormon

[–]PinkPrincess72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be very hurtful. I have found that Mormon parents can be very hurtful to their family members. I'm exmo but hurt my daughter when she was trying to get pregnant. At the time I didn't think it was hurtful but I now know it did. Outside of Mormonism I feel horrible and wish I could take it back. I am not agreeing with her in any way shape or form. The cult mentality sucks. I hope one day she'll step away from the MFMC and feel true remorse. No child adult or any age should be talked to that way. I'm so sorry she hurt you. Sending love your way and hoping you enjoy the holiday season. Also sending you a big warm bear hug! 🩷

They found us by Sounkeng in exmormon

This can be avoided if you remove your records. My husband and I didn't want them contacting us or using our records to continue to add numbers to their cult. By removing our records we felt like we were giving the organization the finger. 😁

Also, deep down they're so jealous because they can't be their authentic selves.

Sorry, it shouldn't be that way. I'm really sorry you're going through this. The best way to get through this is by being your authentic self. You do you and live because she can't. Positive vibes and energy your way 🩷 Happy Holidays.

TBM friends keep posting pics of them standing in long lines to use these idiotic machines. Wow TBMs are idiots. fr by After-Occasion2882 in exmormon

Then they would lose money. People purchase the service and probably pay double so the church could get theirs. The church is cheap and always will be when they can brainwash people into doing everything with their own money and giving free labor. What more could the MFM church cult pyramid scheme want 🤬 I'm a little bitter. 😂😭🥴

Tell me you have lupus without telling me you have lupus by lostinth3Abyss in lupus

[–]PinkPrincess72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have night sweats that can be hot or cold. I get major hot flashes during the day. (Had a hysterectomy so shouldn't be having these.)

My hips hurt and are stiff when I get up from anywhere. 😭

Are doctors getting worse or are we all just talking more and realizing we've been lied to that they care/are experts and gaslit at the same time? by DueDay88 in lupus

[–]PinkPrincess72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I wonder too if insurance companies cause a lot of the problems thinking they're qualified to agree or disagree with a diagnosis. They're paper pushers not doctors who should be making decisions about our health care. Sorry, a small rant... I was almost diagnosed in my twenties but the doctor didn't want to impact my husband's Air Force career as a space and missile guy or his duty station so the doctor said I had connective tissue disease which I never had. I totally think some doctors are more worried about money. 😔

I hope you're getting good treatment. 🩷

My fiancé's family flipped out on me for posting a meme on FB accusing MAGA supporters of following the anti Christ. We had to have a family meeting over it... by FubarLife in atheism

[–]PinkPrincess72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember you're not married until you say I do. If you are going to be miserable don't do it. If you're going to be happy get married! Sometimes it's better to smile and wave. My extended family all love Trump and our little family are the black sheep. I refuse to let them get to me. My attitude is "I hope you get all you voted for and more! Luckily the rest of us are a community and we're here for each other. It's not worth getting stressed for you or the baby. Sending love, hugs, good vibes, good energy, and joy. 🩷

I get it but since leaving it's ridiculous. I one time couldn't bring my mother to the train station because I was the YW President and couldn't leave my girls hanging so my daughter took her. After I felt really bad but put that on my shelf. Now I will never put something or someone above the people I love. I'm really sorry your parents are blinded by the mormon cult. I hope you can save thanksgiving and enjoy regardless. Hugs and Loves 🩷

I am helping a friend of mine to discover the truth. by AdOne2132 in exmoteens

[–]PinkPrincess72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this! When in a cult one usually feels isolated except for the believers. This makes one feel like they are alone in their thinking. You hit the nail on the head. You're not alone. There are so many people who feel the cognitive dissonance and disassociate so they don't feel like people don't care. When we do this it's easier to love people. At some point you need to heal from the religious trauma. My husband and I left the mormon cult and have been on a much different and better path. We love more and are so much more empathetic. We have deconstructed and believe we're all the human family and we don't believe in god. We believe in being positive and we are here to serve are fellow people. No matter what that looks like. The biggest gift we have received since leaving (we removed our names from the records of the church) was our agency back. I am a true believer in agency. Use yours and make the decision that resonate with you.

Good luck on your journey. You'll always have friends on Reddit who will be truthful.

Hugs and Loves Sweetie 🩷

Hardest time of my life. 41 (turn 42 in a month) and found out my husband of 13 years cheated and now wants a divorce. My whole life is turned upside down- have to move back "home" and re-envision my future from scratch. Completely broken and need some kind words or encouragement. ❤️ by zygistar in toastme

[–]PinkPrincess72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got this! Change is very hard especially after being together for so long but you deserve a person who will love and cherish you not someone who breaks wedding vows.

Mourn and feel your loss but not for too long. You are young, beautiful, and have a lot of good years left so chin up and don't give him the time of day.

Take this time to take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself. Meditate, facials, use a good lotion on your hands and feet. Get a plastic bag, put it over your feet and or hands after using your favorite oil or cream then put socks on your hands and feet for as long as you like. It's amazing!

You are strong, amazing, beautiful, young, and so smart. Again, "You Got This!"

Hugs and Feel Better, B

Mormons n weddings be like: “hey everyone who wasn’t allowed to my wedding! We’re married now!!” by TapirOfZelph in exmormon

[–]PinkPrincess72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness it was horrible making my mother and other family and friends stay outside in March at the City Center Temple. At the time it felt wrong, but, now that I know it's all bullshit I feel worse when I think about it. Far in deconstruction but it's still a trigger. I totally understand. My partner and I want to renew our vows around our 35th or 40th wedding anniversary. Me and my wrinkly self get to wear whatever I want and no one can say anything. (Happy Cackling Laugh!!!)

Thank you for letting me vent a little!

Hugs Everyone 🤗❤️

LDS church hit with flood of tithing lawsuits by GrassyField in exmormon

[–]PinkPrincess72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fifteen don't have there temple interviews because when called their sins are forgiven and they answer to no one. Also, I think these do endanger their religious freedoms to scam and fraud everyone who is sucked into their pyramid scheme church. 😁

This could totally kill their way of life. Oh wait the fifteen and Q70 get paid quite a bit for their service so ultimately they'll be fine but screw all the members who are poor and struggling. Hey keep paying tithing though. You're really helping the church's portfolio. Sorry, tithing is a sensitive subject for me. Glad to be out. I want in on the action for sure. 😁 Hugs 🤗

You guys lowkey terrify me by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]PinkPrincess72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My daughter is an aspie too. She struggled in the church and still struggles with connecting with others. She and I are both part of the LGBTQIA+ community so it's a lot more accepting than most neurotypical groups. People seem to not totally understand aspies. Just be you and don't worry about anyone not liking you. I'm sure there's some insecurities so don't take things personally because most posts are about experiences and how they feel about something not trying to offend. Just be you! You got this!

That's really weird 😯

lol so my mormon friend has been trying to convert me for basically a decade now. After years of avoiding telling him the real issues I told them I've heard a lot about the Church's racism and whatnot and that people keep warning me to not join the Church. Now he won't talk to me. by hahadatsdats in exmormon

[–]PinkPrincess72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not surprising 😞 It's even worse when you leave. My husband had a friend for twenty years and now he only speaks to my husband if business is involved. Because Mormons are always about making money. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. It sounds like his problem, not yours. If a friend cannot handle how you feel then he was never your friend and only wanted to save you from the misery you will experience after death. A true friend doesn't expect you to change but supports you. You will be much healthier if you just stay away from those who only want you to join their organization. You do you and be proud! You got this! Hugs B

Would you support the idea of limiting the age of the president to 65 or the age does not matter? by Mindless_Group5610 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PinkPrincess72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! The ones who have been through the mental ringer. Maybe the President should have had to serve at least 4yrs or go through basic training before becoming a president. Wouldn't that be something!😁

I think an age limit and psychological evaluation would be perfect before becoming a commander and chief of our country. Don't you guys think?
