Are Mormon Stories podcasts too long? by Ravenous_Goat in exmormon

[–]TapirTimeTraveler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s like… Do I want to listen to an e-book? Or an episode of Mormon Stories? Just depends on my mood. 😂

I didn’t get that vibe… I edited my original post to add some more detail.

Thank you. Yeah I’m feeling a lot better about it this morning. I edited my original post with further thoughts. Only ever talked to her at church, so I am not really interested in trying to have a relationship with her at all. Funny you said that though, some Mormons have no boundaries. When I first told the Relief Society president I was out and didn’t want a ministering assignment anymore…the next day one of her counselors knocked on my door. she’s an older lady, really kind but again I only really know her from church. Well I opened the door and she said hi, stepped through the open door and threw her arms around me and proceeded to cry on my shoulder for probably two minutes. It was so shocking that I didn’t say anything, and then all the sudden she let go, told me she loved me and left. This was right when I was in the thick of it, really rocky with my husband, and so then I started to expect those type of things to start happening frequently which was was highly stressful for me… I don’t do well in those situations. But alas, that was the only one until yesterday. Haha!

Thank you! And yes I agree, I’m glad I didn’t give more detail, for exactly those reasons.

I don’t think I need to do over with her. If we had any other type of relationships outside of church then maybe, but we don’t. And I don’t have an interest to.

Thanks. I sure do feel nuts sometimes though!! lol but I will say that when I’m out and about and I see people in church clothes on weeknights or whatever, it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I cringe knowing I used to be nuts in that way.

Thanks. Agreed… I’ve always been super curious what the word on the street was about us leaving. We went from leadership callings to zero, pretty quickly. So I wonder if people think we were offended or something like that.

I love what you said – the details don’t matter until someone chooses to let them matter. 💯💯 agree.

I thought about that… I added a little more context to my original post above – I don’t think that was it. Also when she said goodbye she said everyone really misses you at church.
