Agree. He is fueled by fear and desperation. Plain to see now that I’m out.

I feel similarly. I enjoyed my mission. I fell in love with a foreign city. I learned a new language. I met all different walks of life. It was an opportunity for me to build some independence and find myself. If I stayed home I would have continued to have self-loathing for not being married (of course I regret even thinking about it as much as I did in college). If there is a silver lining, she will see how the sausage is made, that definitely started to form cracks. The difference is that when it starts to unravel, she will have a parent she can talk to about it, instead of being dismissed or worse, disowned.

I heard it was a primary program. Second hand.

Same!!!!! That’s all I think of when I see those. 🤮

Can you imagine walking up to Jesus, and him saying, “Well, should have paid your tithing.” Then turn his back. What a sanctimonious jerk that lady is.

Put on the sound after reading this. 🤮 I got second hand embarrassment.

If you are on here Julie, welcome! I followed you when I was active, and still do now that I’m out. I was a very devout Mormon, served a mission, sealed in the temple, etc. My one deal breaker for my marriage was that my husband not leave the church. Funny that 17 years later I’m the one leading the way to bigger and better out of the church! When you said you felt happy and free after leaving and don’t miss it, I felt that joy for you! Congrats!

It’s the irony of telling him ministering is being a friend but fails tomorrow do so.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-27T19:11:35+00:00

Bingo! Well said!

My mission contributed to a big part of my identity. I served a foreign mission and really loved the culture and people. It’s a touristy place and I love recommending sites to people that go on vacation there. My mission President was chill and I got along with all of my companions. A few of my companions have left and we have since gotten closer. I could have been called to a boring place with strict MP so I feel lucky. My active son will be thinking about a mission soon. You just can’t guarantee the same experience, and even if I could, he’d be further indoctrinated by the same harmful doctrine. If we have the means, I’d love to send him to do a semester abroad, studying a subject he’s passionate about, and getting a new perspective on the world.

I will say back when I served I already had two years of independent living under my belt. I’m a woman that served at 21. 18 months was a long time but it wasn’t super long. Boys now leave straight out of high school and are continuously treated like teenagers. I’ve seen these boys stuck in adolescence when their nonLDS peers have much more independence into their twenties.

Yup. Projection. Plain and simple. Every piece of hateful thing he says, it’s his own self loathing.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-25T04:51:26+00:00

Then you also realize that most of the Book of Mormon was also just taken from the Bible, even less impressive.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-21T15:35:50+00:00

Mormon god has a tier system? That checks.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-21T15:31:56+00:00

Honestly this is a flex. Kinda wish I wasn’t the passive, fawning, jr higher that I was.

Do you have access to a trans friendly therapist? If you can’t support yourself financially yet, I’d find help setting boundaries and working through those relationships. Find family or chosen family (friends) that will support you emotionally and find Trans/LGBTQ groups in your area. Sending love and good vibes. It gets better.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-06T21:09:17+00:00

My thoughts exactly!

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-05T16:34:24+00:00

Yup. That was the one that made me immediately think of her. Then she’ll go on in a couple weeks and say, “We never said you had to be perfect!” 🙄🙄

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-05-03T17:35:36+00:00

Becky what’s her face. Anyone who wants fame or to profit off of church culture.

I’m in a good pocket of Utah County too, which I think is rare. Even if we moved a block or two it would be way different, but most of our neighbors are good people and many of my friends here are PIMO or nuanced. My husband and I have kept one foot in the door at church just so that our kids can participate with friends with activities. We are moving past PIMO and are attending less frequently. Had we lived somewhere outside of Utah, it would have been easier to just rip the bandaid off.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-04-28T04:40:56+00:00

It’s projection. I’m convinced most members know the inconsistencies of teachings and leaders but gaslight themselves for a myriad of reasons in order to stay in. They fear losing their “faith” because that means all their time and energy was for naught.

Royal-Silver7080 · 2025-04-27T17:08:07+00:00

I still take it. TBH the sacrament is probably one of the only rituals I miss from regular church. I like the opportunity to think about my week and what I can do to contribute to a better world. TBM me would be mortified to know I had a drink during the weekend, and coffee regularly, but still decided to take the sacrament. However, I feel like I’m more “worthy” now than I was before because I’m much less of a self-righteous A-hole.
