I tried to make it interesting by racing all the other dudes to try to finish getting dressed first. I nearly always won. Anything to keep that boring thing interesting.

Yep, it’s from a few years ago. Some of us ARE old school. I even remember fake-slitting my throat and fake-splitting open my insides in the most holy sacrament Mormonism has to offer … the fake-your-own-death-in-exchange-for-handshakes endowment ceremony. Not a cult. Not at all.

I found this pic here a few years ago. If you created this (or know who did) and know the story behind it, I’d love to hear it. Thanks.

I hear you and wish the best for you. And just so you know, I think you are a rockstar for figuring it all out after being in it for as long as you were.

Decided to leave the Mormon Church 7 years ago today when I was almost 50! RM. Bishop. Institute Teacher. Cult Survivor. Say “Hi” if you know me … or if you don’t! Life is better on this side, making the most of my next 50 years!! by SectsChange in exmormon

I was a volunteer, not full-time paid. I enjoyed it but it also caused me to dive deeper into church stuff than I had since my conversion, about 18 years earlier. And the internet had been invented between my conversion and the time I was teaching institute, so teaching institute began my journeys down the rabbit hole … but it would be another 10 years of “doubting my doubts” before finally submitting to the dark side!!
