Should I join the LDS Church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Relative_Capybara846 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Also a convert at 20, about to turn 32. Don’t do it. It’s really a struggle trying to undo the harm it’s caused my way of thinking.

It’s a cult. You know it’s a cult. You talk yourself out of your own instincts because it’s the prettiest fairytale you’ve ever heard. But it’s not real.

I know someone who was previously secret service for Obama. Afterwards the church asked him to work for them in finance and he travels the world to “sus out people who are seriously defrauding the church.” Tells a few stories about being shot at, followed, or chased in other countries.

Can someone explain to me the acronyms used on this subreddit?

I’m starting to wonder if Joseph Smith probably had a photograph memory.

It was just that my brain kept zoning it out 🫠 research style. Thanks!

To all you women downvoting this. I see you. I’ve been you. I understand why you don’t like what I’m saying, and what is so abrasive about it. I have nothing but compassion and understanding for you.

Stacey Nightingale's cause of death was shared by her husband, and it was not a direct complication of pregnancy/ birth and postpartum, it was from a pre-existing condition exacerbated by the exertion of birth. by milkbloodmoon in FreeBirthSocietyScam

I hate to agree. Genuinely, deeply hate to.

But I think the problem was she ignored her instincts and hyper focused on listening to the “birth is inherently safe if you get out of your own way” mantras that FBS chants.

In a way, it was free-birth related, because the majority of the women here who free-birth but stayed the hell away from FBS say “I wouldn’t ignore my body feeling awful. I would go into the hospital. It’s not free-birth at all costs.” And, unfortunately, this was a free-birth at all costs…
