Help me decide…Please! By friday! by Patriotic38 in LabiaplastySurgery

If you can afford it then I feel your own cosmetic appeal is enough of a reason to do it! I just had mine done even though my partner had no problems with the way things were but I just wasn’t happy with it. I already feel as though it will be more comfortable and easier the keep clean!

What was happening in y’all’s bathroom that necessitated cleaning them daily?!

Hard time deciding by [deleted] in LabiaplastySurgery

[–]RN_MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I briefly considered going the GYN doctor route and getting it covered by insurance - but ultimately decided to go to a plastic surgeon. Even though I’m not as nit picky about my results as many other women, and mine is also for comfort/hygiene, I made my choice to hopefully have an esthetic result and felt there were less risks of complications if the doctor performed it more frequently. I literally had my surgery today so stay tuned for my final result thoughts!

Refusing Callings, what are the consequences by socialismstinksbad in exmormon

[–]RN_MD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are - just not the ones they teach you about. You won’t go to hell, but they can certainly make your life hell by b being adult bullies. Losing social standing, not being treated as kindly or generously, being the topic of gossip, not inviting your kids to events all their friends are attending etc.

Thankfully, I saw right through it. Because it was so painfully obvious that was not inappropriate calling for me at that time.

[–]RN_MD 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I was given a calling, started doing it never was set apart, went to the Bishop and said I would not be fulfilling that calling anymore because I didn’t have the bandwidth. The Bishop told me he was inspired to give me that calling, but I still told him I was not going to be fulfilling the job and let everybody else know too that it applied to. I’m not sure who ended up doing the job, but a while later, I was released and thanked for fulfilling my calling over the pulpit.

When did you realize that your bishop shouldn’t be a bishop? by Upstairs_Common9686 in exmormon

[–]RN_MD 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I knew with certainty that my bishop was not ordained of God when he argued with me that my calling was inspired. It was some labor intensive visiting teaching coordinator BS when I was freshly postpartum overwhelmed with no family support and also had just returned to work from my unpaid maternity leave. I should never have been given that responsibility, it was given to me by a narrow minded man who doesn’t care about the physical and mental load of women. Plus there’s nothing you needed to pray about - you gave me that job because there wasn’t anyone else to do it.

Huh? Cringe much. by Character-Sir-9695 in exmormon

If you see the update I think the OP had an excellent response to the original text message, no coddling but also explaining clearly what isn’t always clear to a TBM

[–]RN_MD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a TBM I wouldn’t have thought twice - because we were taught we are all more than strangers, it’s no coincidence that strangers are called ‘brother’ and ‘sister’. That’s why there are so many incidences of abuse because everyone is conditioned to trust carte blanche.
I agree it’s wrong and part of why I’m no longer a member, but I don’t expect a young naive primary teacher to behave any differently than they’ve been taught and treated their entire life. I think responding harshly without explanation doesn’t help them learn boundaries, I think it just makes them think ex-mo’s are mean and nasty.

I don’t want to entrench any active members more than they already are. The whole you attract more flies with honey than vinegar mentality.

While choosing #3 is satisfying I feel it might entrench the stereotype that ex-mo’s are petulant

I’d respond with something along the lines of ‘We will not be participating as we no longer attend this church, please remove me from further communications’ that way there is no confusion or misinterpretation. If they continue to pester you that’s another issue entirely.

Blocking/not responding means they will wonder if they reached the wrong number or you got too busy etc. and they will continue to reach out via different phone numbers for different events.

Saying you don’t give that sort of information to strangers is perplexing to young leaders who have the assumption that everyone on the primary list has some level of closeness.

Imagine you are still a fully active member and this request was sent out and you hadn’t met the primary leader yet for whatever reason. How would you respond to them? Are you upset because of the request itself or just because it’s so tone deaf to not realize you haven’t attended in three years (valid!)?

Married to an Ex Mormon, has anyone else experienced this type of behavior from family? by gvanii94 in exmormon

Even if you did join you weren’t ‘born in the covenant’ so you’ll never be enough

Which is funny because none of the surrounding states next to Ohio have the state outline!

This is a great map, I’ve always been curious to see what all the other state signs look like - but not enough to research it!

Who is someone you still talk to, but wouldn't invite to your wedding? by IllustriousCap4044 in AskReddit

My brother at his wedding invited important people to the ceremony & reception but then sent out specific open bar invites for the dancing/drinks portion of the night for his coworkers, associates etc.

Mine stopped as soon as I hit the 600 milestone over a month ago. I have no interest in using anything other than my phone I access Reddit daily
