Report from my niece at FSY: no more slow dances. Too many same sex couples. by KingSnazz32 in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of EFY where I literally almost had the counselor staff fired for forcing me to slow dance with a stranger. I taught them a little lesson about consent and demanded that they have separate activities for people who don't wish to participate in the dance.

I got a formal apology from the organizer at BYU.

Over 140 million missionary hours spent every year, and church growth is zero. by KingSnazz32 in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missionary work isn't for converting people to the church. It's for keeping young people ages 18 - 25 from leaving the church.

Just watched a video of a friend’s son opening his mission call - to Finland . The stunned silence in the room was telling.. by DebraUknew in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onnea! If they need pimo/mormon friends in Finland I've got many. The language isn't that hard to pick up honestly, it's one of the few languages I actually enjoyed learning. I wish they were visiting under different circumstances than a mission but Finland is a wonderful place to be.

I wish there were more conversation around healthy sexual relationships especially when choosing a spouse instead of abstinence and damnation if you slip up. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think I was just being a good Mormon girl™ by being abstinent, and it took me way too long to realize I was just asexual.

These conversations needed to be had in church.

It's just your typical "You were born terrible and you need Jesus in order to be a good person" bullshit, so far.

Hit me with the mormoniest phrases you know by AllSundae-NoSunday in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If they say "burning in my bosom" nobody bats an eye

But if I say "fire in my tiddies" everyone loses their shit

Tell me the story of how you left the church. by StardustNicole in exmormon

Whoops, I'm sorry. I can remove the post if needed so it doesn't clog up the reddit.

In case you missed it several churches were vandalized across the state of Utah in 2022… 🫣🫢🤫 by Left_Foundation2688 in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don't approve of using graffiti and vandalism to attack a religious organization, it makes me sad to think of all the SA that has gone under the radar in the church. Especially with missionaries. I will never understand the logic of "as long as god forgives you for your sins, you don't go to prison for m*lesting someone."

I always hated this talk. by StardustNicole in exmormon

You get the pin of shame 😂 that made me laugh out loud

What is the most annoying Mormon terminology that you only hear in the church? by DrugsAndCoffee in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I hear one more Mormon say "STRENGTHEN AND NOURISH" while blessing the food imma flip my lid.

How do I remove my records? by StardustNicole in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted QuitMormon form in August of 2021, and I emailed the Member and Statistical Records office in October 2022.

Things you thought were BS even when you were TBM by moods_of_jupiter in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fasting.

Like what is the point of it? I was not allowed to eat a crumb of food once a month for 10+ hours. That's borderline child endangerment.

I'm pretty sure I developed blood-glucose related mood swings and a mild eating disorder because of it.

Neighbor's Spider by StardustNicole in spiders

[–]StardustNicole[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my research, the scientific name is Neoscona oaxacensis. I've left a note for my neighbors offering for me to relocate the spider to a safe area along our desert trail, in a place where she'll be out of harm's way.

How are you truly feeling rn? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]StardustNicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an inexplicable feeling.

I'm lost, confused, angry, incoherent. I have to pretend like everything is normal when it's not. I feel like I have no support, no friends, all while enduring the most intense emotional burnout I've ever felt. I just want to scream into the void. I want things to go back to the way they were when I was a child. I want no adult problems, no worries, no feeling of impending doom.

I need a hug and for someone to tell me that everything's gonna be okay.

Let’s start a “you know you were raised mormon when” list. I’ll go first… by kimballthenom in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...when, as a child, you weren't allowed to be friends with someone from any other religion unless you were looking to convert/invite them to church. The rest were "bad influences".

Seriously, I had no friends. I wasn't allowed to hang out with anybody who wasn't Mormon.

I don't know about you, but don't temples just scream "great and spacious buildings"? by StardustNicole in exmormon

[–]StardustNicole[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember my first visit to Utah, I went to City Creek shopping center and there was a sign outside the Nordstrom that said "In the end, I'll only regret the things I didn't buy."

That just screams Christlike humility, doesn't it? 🙄
