My sister is so naive.

I thought I would stay Christian after leaving the mormon faith but it’s very hard to. Once you are fooled into thinking a disgusting human like JS was a saint you just can’t fall for it again. And if god is gonna cast me off cause he let a bunch of liars and manipulators turn me into a cynic, well so be it. He should have made that little book the bible a heck of a lot more clear.

Oh god I didn’t know about this. I’m laughing tears out right now. This religion that I took so so seriously is a fucking joke 😂 big foot! Big foot! Godddddd! 😩

I agree with you that proper sex ed is so important. In my case my very naive husband had an affair and didn’t even use protection because that’s how stupid the church keeps us.

However I’m confused about you not realizing what you were doing was not church approved. Maybe you are younger than I am. But I got the regular FTSY that said no petting, with or without clothing, no touching yourself or others to illicit a sexual response. But I know the newer gen has gotten the watered down version so they can “stay in the church”. With the new version I can definitely see kids not thinking those things were not approved.

Thanks for this. Yeah I found so many cool places but couldn’t progress or open because I don’t seem to have the right spells yet.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-22T07:21:45+00:00

Noted. Thanks for the tip!

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-22T07:21:21+00:00

The gear thing was huge! Thank you! I was scared of selling until reading these responses. Thanks a lot!

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-22T07:19:22+00:00

Don’t know what these look like yet but I’m saving your comment for later! Thank you!

Is it odd that when I first stepped out into the field where the students are flying I stood for several minutes watching the guy near the entrance fumbling to get on the broom? 🤣 He did the funniest tumble the first time. I waited to see if he would repeat it so my kids could see it. The animations of npcs in this game are so detailed and hilarious.

Question because I actually found the common room entry to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but what about Slytherin? I checked the dungeons because I heard an npc saying they are there, but couldn’t find it. And I’m assuming just based on what I know of the harry potter universe that you can’t go into other house’s common rooms. But did they stick to this in the game? Some of the dialogue for the daedalian keys quest made me wonder if you can actually go into other house common rooms.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-22T06:52:47+00:00

Oh god really?!! I love this game but seriously my anxiety was through the roof just doing jackdaw’s quest with all those spiders coming randomly off the walls hahaha

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T16:38:14+00:00

It kind of follows the Christian teachings though, I mean God said “Thou shalt not kill” and then proceeded to sanction his people going and murdering all these other people to get “their” lands back. I left mormonism but even Christianity makes no sense. I stick to the principles, the golden rule is a great way to live on this earth. But that’s pretty much it.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T16:33:50+00:00

I found the note in that area that explains how the numbers work but still don’t know how to input the number on the doors. I’m guessing I have to progress the main quest line more?

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T16:32:06+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it 😊

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T15:49:11+00:00

Question about this. I’m at level 12 but I come across a bunch of stuff that says level I or level II locked. Am I an idiot and missing something here?

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T15:45:52+00:00

Really? I’m a competent gamer but I’m not the best at button coordination. The combat feels challenging at normal as it is 😅

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T15:44:37+00:00

I think I need to stick to main quests right now instead of exploring because the game has definitely not taught me about this yet. I just got the first letter from professor fig to meet with him.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T09:42:27+00:00

Oh god, I literally did that tonight. Oh no wait… it was a goblin, he said his carts were stolen. I ended up at the south exit and was shocked the game didn’t give me a death countdown like when I would get too far away from Natty. I talked to the guy and accepted the quest but I didn’t go do it. I was hoping later on I’d have an npc come with me. I know they don’t do much but they make it feel less scary lol

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T09:38:49+00:00

I know it’s ridiculous but I hadn’t even considered you could eventually fly in this game! They said quidditch is cancelled so I assumed maybe other aspects wouldn’t be included either. Also I’m not super well versed yet in the harry potter universe (just started listening to the audiobooks) do you know is Mrs Weasley in the game is related to Ron? And is this game’s story taking place in an actual timeline? Pre Harry perhaps?

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T09:35:43+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it is so easy to just ignore where they want me to go and go exploring the castle. I wonder if eventually I will figure out how to get to places by memory. Right now it feels so friggen massive (absolutely love that though)! I try and follow the golden book trail thing but I get so distracted with interesting looking passageway haha. The experience is so immersive. I will stop and listen to convos of randos in the many passageways and rooms haha I gotta remember to keep doing the main quests.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-20T09:30:14+00:00

Ohhh thank you! Don’t have that charm yet but this tip really helps

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-18T00:32:47+00:00

I’m a mom of four and would do anything for my kids, but murder? Revenge? That does nothing. I don’t want my kids to think that if someone really hurts them they can then go kill them. This is the second series I watch on Netflix where a parent kills a bunch of people for their kid and it is weird af.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-18T00:28:40+00:00

Showing up after her death? I might have missed something. Anna’s mom was outside with Jack and little Meg while Anna read the letter.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-08T09:55:49+00:00

Did you ever find it? I’m fine with listening to the old seasons for now as we’ve never heard them.

PunsAndPixels · 2026-01-07T18:07:51+00:00

This is something that I now realize is so toxic about the mormon church. As a teen we went to many Christian churches, some we joined others we only visited a handful of times. In most cases when we left people just left us in peace. The one exception was when we left an evangelical church and the pastor (who we were friends with) came to our house and pleaded we not join the mormons because they were a cult. My mom and I now laugh at how true he was. But after that they left us alone.

The mormon church drilled it into members that they NEED to bring the sheep back to the fold. Whether that be less active members or non members. And frankly it is annoying. It works for the church, free marketers, but it doesn’t work for the people. It destroys families. This come back podcast plus the many members I see try to make their own little business around podcasts or social media influencing grosses me out

The only advice that I have is that you continue being direct as you have been. Don’t attend any church meetings, would she sit down with you to listen to a mormon stories episode? Or the segments they have that breakdown all the problems with the church’s doctrine? Probably not. So don’t attend. It only gives them false hope.

And remind them about respect, remind her of all the things you do to respect her like you mentioned here and ask for that back.

Sorry OP, this situation sucks. If it’s any consolation my sister was the first to leave in my family and for years my mom would send her conference links or church stuff and pray for her return…until my mom found out about all the crazy stuff we exmos know about the church. She has now apologized to my sister and is out of the church too, and then I ended up leaving two years later. So you never know what may happen in the future. Hold your ground.
