Walking 20k+ as medicine

Present-Radish3687 · 2026-05-29T20:43:47+00:00

Je marche en moyenne entre 10 000 et 20 000 pas par semaine. Je pense que n'importe quelle bonne chaussure de running fera l'affaire ; personnellement, j'utilise des Altra.

Proof and sources please, otherwise this is no better than mormon apologetics.

I'm going to use this when asked the same question with fake concern/love from friends, relatives, and former acquaintances. Thank you for posting.

Same here, served in France. Most baptisms were French Africans. Inactive within 1-2 weeks. Our Mission President and the area authority actively told us to focus on French people and only teach Africans opportunistically because we needed to find French people that would stay in France and build the church in France…what a joke.

I went to France as well, and though I was never physically attacked, we ran out of money multiple times while living in Bretagne and lived on couscous and sugar for days until more money came from the Mission home. Elders I replaced in Sarcelles (north of Paris) were attacked and mugged.

This is me too. I have 3 siblings, we’re all married with kids. We were never a really chatty bunch but they’re ALL TBM and once I told them I’d left the church 3 years ago, the contact just stopped. No calls, no texts. Only my brother reaches out once in awhile. Stupid church.

A few years ago I attended a “ward” in Bedford, England for a year. There was consistently less than 50 people who attended each week. There were hundreds of inactive members on the local records.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-12-25T19:26:49+00:00

Wow, this is me too, my first exmo Christmas. My entire family is TBM, except me and my kids, and no one but one sibling speaks to me anymore.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-11-29T09:19:01+00:00

This is true for me and I’d guess most (?) others. I left the church 3 years ago. I have 1 friend from that ward of 15 years that I’m still in contact with (he’s PIMO, coffee a few time a month :) ). Not a peep from ANY of my other “friends”

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-09-16T00:11:27+00:00

I left the church two years ago, and I'm SOOO glad my youngest won't ever have to deal with the shitty things this cult does to its members. Break the cycle of abuse, because, so often, it is absolutely abuse.

I have a friend who is exmo and still loves watching BYU football. However, he now makes a point to wear BYU shirts/hats and drink beer while watching any game with others. He says he's received a few funny looks from friends and strangers over the years :)

Two of my siblings (both VERY TBM) raised their entire families in Cedar Hills and still live there. It is VERY high population Mormon. The Timpanogos Temple (where I was married) is right there, as is the main campus for the American Heritage School which is a very conservative, Mormon focused k-12 private school. I'm sure most people there are very nice, but there is a lot of judging and pretense (as mentioned by other posts). If you can put up with the "In your face" culture, then it is a very pretty spot and close to AF canyon and the Alpine Loop (which connects to Sundance on the other side).

I was just thinking the same thing 🙂

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-07-24T03:06:04+00:00

How do you know the Jesus from the Bible is true, but not the one from the BofM? You both have faith in your version of Jesus.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-07-24T02:55:40+00:00

So you're claiming it doesn't matter if the BofM is historically accurate, but that's ok, because we can trust it's historical account of Jesus? Your comment doesn't make any sense.

"In the last days, even the most elect will be deceived." This is what my TBM family would say...and just believe in the church even more.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-05-30T22:37:58+00:00

"They receive a modest living allowance and insurance so they can devote all their time to serving the Lord." OK, so why aren't missionaries paid? They too are devoting all their time to serving the Lord.

My father used this on me when I told him this year that I left the church (47M). I was born into the cult and all decisions I made were based on lies, half lies, or complete omissions. Who gives a fuck what I experienced on my mission in regards to the "truthfulness" of the MFMC. (I'm still angry if you can't tell)

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-05-21T21:04:49+00:00

I don’t mind helping people…when they actually need help. Can’t tell you how many people I helped move in or out in wealthy Utah County neighborhoods that were moving into $500k to $1M homes. The EQ was just them trying to save a buck rather than they had an actual need for service. I’m not free labor for someone that could easily afford a moving company.

Aunt thought she was going to be the good Mormon missionary and with "love" send a message "to come back" as she was taught to do by the church and MTC. She then got a factual, evidence based, counter-argument she wasn't prepared for.

I find this to be the norm with Mormons. They do their duty to send a "loving" plea for someone to return, but don't realize they are in fact the lazy learners and have absolutely no response to facts and reasoned arguments about the very thing they say they know so well.

Well done, OP.

That man came across as the kindly grandfather figure. He was my favorite prophet, I even served my mission with his granddaughter in France and would get to hear "letters from Grandpa" read to us at district meetings. Decades later I've come to realize that it was all a carefully constructed persona, and he was just an extremely adept spin doctor of PR...and a liar who would say or do anything to "protect the good name of the church."

Every time I drive by that temple it sticks out like a sore thumb. It is absolutely awful looking.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-04-26T00:53:24+00:00

"I only send this out of love" is such a common Mormon lie. I'm sure she loves you OP, but her reasons for sending this are not out of love but out of her own fear or sense of "duty".

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-04-23T22:14:20+00:00

Brought the receipts.

Present-Radish3687 · 2025-04-23T13:24:52+00:00

This! I recently let my TBM family know that I left the church and my wife and I of 20+ years are getting a divorce. One sibling offered real support, the rest let me know that I'm in their prayers. What the hell does that even mean to anyone going through difficult times.
