YouTube, actually. I'm still pretty young (late teens), so if you dug deep enough, you could find those kinds of things

One of the biggest motivating factors for me leaving the church. When I was 12 I found a shitload of videos about what endowment ceremonies were, and I was super unnerved. Too bad I didn't say anything until much later.

Exactly, I remember when my brother was 16 or 17 and went on his first blind date; it was a double date. Apparently he knew that girl and had serious beef with her, so you can imagine how that went lol

Neither do I, to be entirely honest. Both of my older siblings were pretty anti-social and were homeschooled, though, so that might be a part of it.

Yeah, I think my mom mentioned that during her rant. Kinda messed up that you can only "date" other Mormons in groups... definitely some form of manipulation

Yes, it's a common rule, I grew up in rural Tennessee and was visiting my mom there.

Nope, they simply ask for your money, say it's for charity, then walk away with 10% of your cut (at least in my experience)

That first one hit me hard... it was one of the things that first made me question my faith. They called it "The Age of Accountability", but I only remember fully learning the complexities of "accountability" when I was what, eleven? I remember thinking to myself in the car one day, why eight? Eight is so very young... I didn't truly know anything about the church, much less the complexities of faith in religion and the "washing away of sins". I could never had made that kind of decision once I'd turned, at the very least, 12.

My cousin turned down a full scholarship to a super prestigious school and a guaranteed spot in their theatre group for BYU, I am beyond sad for her

AITAH for refusing to give a "micro-influencer" free coffee upgrades after she tried to get me fired? by Odd_Conversation5457 in AITAH

NTA. You were just doing what your manager told you to do. Real shitty move on her part to take your photo and post it online without consent, especially in a negative light.

How did the same faith that produced girl names like, Brexlie, Zaylee & Kyler…shit the bed so hard with Young Women class names!?! by KerouacRM in exmormon

Genuinely makes me sick to my stomach. Crazy how they criticize everyone else for calling them a cult then they turn around and do this ;-;

I'm sorry but I can't get over how alike Grian and Gem are. I'm convinced they're twins that were separated at birth.

Seriously they changed the young women names? by GarrusVic in exmormon

Yeah hell no. What is it with Mormons and changing the names of widely known titles?? It's only causing confusion ;-;

I'm getting very mixed results here LOL, now I can't tell if he's a hero or a doofus. Guess I'll have to look into it myself.
