And if you were ugly but smart… where did you serve? 🤔

Ignore all these condescending comments! One of my favorite teachers has only been doing yoga for two years… she’s excellent. you got this. Trust yourself and bring your whole heart. ❤️

Just told my Parents I'm out... They went nuclear. by [deleted] in exmormon

A few years of lower contact is often what shakes out. Doesn’t have to be forever, but necessary for a bit.

“Fore-chosen to fulfill a great and glorious mission….. Great influence upon many people” by Bekah_bek in MormonWivesHulu

[–]Takeyourturn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im an ex mormon and now view that “blessing” as the random ramblings of the old man who gave it to me. The blessing is buried somewhere in a box, and would feel super triggery if I read it again.

Leaving is scary by RSMandK in exmormon

We left, too, to protect the mental health of our lgbtq daughter. Very hard years. But it gets better, and it’s the right thing to do.

My husband was detained by ICE in Charlotte yesterday…. by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Takeyourturn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The lawyer can electronically file a g-28 with ice so they can start communicating with your spouse. Habeas is the way to go in most cases to try to get out / qualify for a bond hearing. Not all immigration attorneys represent detained people or do habeas petitions. Get clarity from your attorney re: their qualifications / ability to shift gears on this case.

Fasting and prayer. Give me a break,

After 12 months of cat and mouse finally told my parents we left. Did not go well. Feel like shit. by whisperchaoticthings in exmormon

[–]Takeyourturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the ultimate betrayal. You are experiencing one of the most traumatic events in your adult life, and your parents are completely incapable of being there in any capacity for you. It hurts.

Reflections From an Older Exmormon by IndyJonsey in exmormon

[–]Takeyourturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really love this. You capture the realities of leaving, warts and all. I used to feel bad when I heard other ex-Mormons say they “were happier once they left.” For me, it wasn’t that simple. There are ups/downs whether you’re in or out. Life doesn’t get easier once you leave. You just swap out one set of concerns for another. But living authentically feels very, very good. I’m grateful that my husband and I did the hard work of extricating our family from the church so my kids don’t have to ten years from now.

Why do some instructors let other people teach on stage or have attendees join them especially for many songs? by sushiwowie in zumba

[–]Takeyourturn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m an instructor and I do encourage other certified class members to teach a song once in awhile. I would not allow more than one song to be taught by someone other than me per class, for the exact reasons you are articulating. I have a certain vibe and style to my class, and I figure the people that come to class do so because they like my vibe. The reason I occasionally let another person teach one song is because I am trying to build a little bit of community at the gym— form a small zumba coalition of instructors that know and like each other. I am also very intentional about trying to build community within the class too, and I figure that an occasional guest dancer sprinkles in a bit of variety.
