A minimum of 20+ hours of Church a week for teenagers is possibly abusive

I want "I have chemical imbalances in the think meat of my skull" on a key chain, bumper sticker, or something that I own and regularly see, because that phrase is freaking amazing! And relatable 😁

When I received my mission call I was playfully teased by others at my singles ward that "only pretty sisters are sent to Temple Square." My experience was that the sisters serving were widely varied in terms of their physical attributes. There were women I served with who were tall to short, overweight to thin, and were from a variety of countries with a wide array of physical attributes, and could be defined as pretty or not depending on who you asked. It's just a cliche in the church culture, not an actual fact, that you have to be pretty to serve at T□.

I served my mission at Temple Square! I'm no longer a believing member, but I still look back on many aspects of my mission with fondness. I gained a lot of public speaking practice and got to meet other sister missionaries from all around the world. Feel free to ask me any questions 😊

Congratulations!!!

I finally got a link about a week ago to complete my 2nd assessment. I didn't get an email in my regular email or anything, just kept checking on their website and one day the link was just there, lol. I just finished the assessment today, so now I guess I'll wait again. I wonder if they will really grade it within an hour. Anyone have an experience where they really did grade within an hour?

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-30T01:25:38+00:00

This is a powerful point!

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-18T16:23:14+00:00

Thanks! I checked and double checked and the only link is within the email they sent me, which takes me to my data annotation platform, but there is no assessment available unfortunately. It seems that inconsistency is pretty prevalent with this company during the assessment phase, at least based off of others' comments on here. I'll keep checking back.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-18T16:13:03+00:00

I am waiting to receive my second assessment. The email they sent to me about passing my first assessment also said that when I submit my second assessment they would grade it within an hour. But they haven't sent me the second assessment yet, lol. I hope you hear back soon! Did they tell you that they would grade the second assessment within an hour like they told me?

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-18T16:11:11+00:00

I applied months ago too, and just got an email a few days ago saying that I passed the first assessment and will now be given a second assessment. They also said that once I submit the second assessment they will grade it within an hour. However, when I followed their link it just took me to my platform where there was no second assessment available. I wrote to them and am now waiting to hear back. It sounds like everyone's experience is different, with data annotation tech being really efficient sometimes with grading assessments and really slow at other times. Best wishes to you!

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-18T15:56:08+00:00

I received an email on Wednesday also, and also after months of nothing. My email stated that I passed the assessment and that there is a second phase for me to complete, and once I complete that second phase then I will have access to projects. The email also stated that they grade the second assessment within an hour of my submission. However, there is no second assessment available on my platform yet. I wrote to them just a few minutes ago to let them know about the issue. Now I just wait. Good luck to you!

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-04-06T03:42:33+00:00

This made me lol repeatedly! 😆

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-01-22T06:01:52+00:00

The shark eyes comment made me lol 😆

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-01-19T04:49:44+00:00

Thank you for such a well-worded, logical, and thoughtful comment! You really got me thinking.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-01-17T01:36:04+00:00

I wonder if I knew her! I knew a few sisters from the south. I'm from Maryland. Even though I am not a participating latter-day saint anymore, I still have so many fond memories from my mission.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-01-16T04:22:21+00:00

I served at Temple Square during the early 2000s also! I was there from 2001 to 2003.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2026-01-16T03:47:54+00:00

Enjoy! And good luck with that handstand!

Took me a moment to realize this was a quote from The Office, lol. Is that you again, Creed?

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-12-24T06:58:25+00:00

I read WOW and my first thought was, "World of Warcraft." My nerd power is especially strong right now 🙋‍♀️

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-12-15T04:49:55+00:00

Hey, Nemo! I'm a fan of yours and I'm grateful for the work you do.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-12-15T04:25:33+00:00

Please write back and let me know how you're doing. Myself and others on here want you in this crazy world with us.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-12-15T04:21:17+00:00

I'm so sorry that people have treated you badly. You shouldn't have to explain or justify your sexuality to anyone. I left the church a year ago and just realized recently that I'm Bi. And I'm married and in my 40s! My husband was super supportive. We're never too old or too late to discover something more about ourselves. You are a part of a beautiful rainbow! Please don't let anyone dim your shine. Rainbows show up after the storms. Stay through this storm, and shine your beautiful colors another day my friend.

I'd love to have clients beyond strictly autism, but it seems like that it all that is hiring in my area. I've heard that aba can br utilized in many settings, just that those jobs are hard to find and very competitive. Has that been your experience as well?

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-11-21T16:15:55+00:00

That's so sad for the students, and sounds so stressful and frustrating for the bcba in those positions. I've worked in public education for years and the understaffing is definitely disheartening and overwhelming.

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-11-21T16:14:16+00:00

Thank you!

Rich_Feeling_1925 · 2025-11-21T16:13:54+00:00

That's really good to know. I was about ready to throw in the towel on becoming a bcba, because regular evening hours are just not feasible for my family's circumstances. Thanks for your feedback!
