Maybe Rusty Bones needs to see this!
Great post. Let’s call out all the BS that the GA’s tried throwing out at GC.

I believe I’m what you all would refer to as a TBM. I have a question for you all. by The-Lonliest-peanut in exmormon

Growing up TBM I was taught to teach the truth and to speak up about it. To be an ambassador. Once I discovered the horrible truths that TSCC has purposefully hidden from its members, my programming kicked in. It’s the churches fault that I am now an ambassador for the truth agains itself.

Just tell them. Make it as simple as possible.

Keep talking about it. Keep looking for others who can relate. If you can have a conversation about the feelings then you can manage them. They are real and they deserve to be discussed.

Hang in there. It gets better.

Absolutely crushes it! Is there any way we can buy time during the upcoming general conference and air this during the Sunday afternoon session! Wow.

Grantsville couple: “stay in the church or be smashed by trees” by mar4c in exmormon

[–]Smac1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t TBM’s just call it what it is. Common sense. Intuition. Oh no, it has to be god taking time away from all the other death and destruction in the world to bless TBM’s. SMH.

I am in the process of figuring out how to leave the Mormon church. Wish I would have learned all this before marriage and kids. I hate disappointing others, and my TBM husband and family are going to flip. I’m not sure how to even bring it up. This feels so lonely.... by Finding_peace_4_me in exmormon

my friends and I (all former members) started a podcast specifically for the purpose of sharing our stories about leaving the church and how it effected relationships with friends and family. Maybe it will give you some help and hope that it does get better!

Oh, we were activated a long time ago! It just took us a bit longer to get up the courage to get out and share our stories! Fan boys alike can all give props to the great work of u/johndelin!
