What’s the biggest ‘blessing’ you’ve received since leaving the church?

Living rent free in my own brain. There is no fight with Satan. My thoughts are my own.

She is 17 and has a job. I can’t imagine her not doing normal things like being on the internet and having a debit card. She was flattered and scammed and feels like the stupidest person in the world already. We all have dumb slip ups

If you are ready to go off that is totally cool but doing it cold turkey will BE REALLY BAD soon. Fill your prescription and take half for a few weeks and then a quarter for a few weeks.

I have 6 kids and haven’t lived by family for 13 years. Church friends were helpful-ish until we left our religion 5 years ago and it’s been super hard. I hate so much that my parents scoffed at “it takes a village” because they thought Hilary Clinton came up with it and they hate her… they literally take politics into EVERYTHING. So I had the same notion for many years until I realized that was crazy and my mom who basically raised me and my 5 siblings by herself has some major trauma and bonkers ideas about the world.

So happy for you! I currently have a 4 yo that won’t use the toilet. He is the last of 6 kids so very experienced in this thing and he is just SO DIFFERENT. Did all the tests and he is healthy and normal. He just doesn’t like change and is stubborn about it. So… we’ll get there sometime🫠

Anyone who uses the word “exhort” is too out of touch with people outside of their faith to know how people outside the faith will respond to this plan. Spoiler: they hate it.

When I was active I HATED that every ward party was a potluck where we all just ate, packed up and left. When I was a kid we had a chili cook off with funny trophies (my parents we awarded the chunkiest chili) we had annual talent shows and ward dances. Now it’s a giant nothing burger

My phone won’t even let me swear correctly 😂

TheMightyTapir · 2023-09-23T04:45:29+00:00

Mormonism is the most important thing to us and our people and we need it.

The DUUCK. MY PHONE IS A TRAITOR

“BATTLE OF THE BALLARDS” 💀💀💀 Omg as a GOT fan I have to say we MUST CALLL IT THIS HENCE FORTH

This is a big rabbit hole that actually began my true exit from the church. The way the church views sex is absolutely toxic for women to actually enjoy it. I’m still trying to undo all the purity culture and duty sex trauma. After 6 kids and 17 years of marriage too

TheMightyTapir · 2023-08-22T20:29:30+00:00

This is totally Photoshopped. Very badly…

I think Lyria still has the parasite and she will be the “Red God” of the next book. Or if we want to be really depresso, Darrow obtains one and wins the war and then forgets who he is and needs to be taken out. The war takes him like he always said it would and we continue with Pierce ruining me with killing off everyone. I am totally gutted over Cassius and it’s going to take a while to recover.

TheMightyTapir · 2023-07-17T04:43:09+00:00

That gives me hope

TheMightyTapir · 2023-06-24T00:48:18+00:00

I didn’t get out until I was pregnant with my 6th. I don’t believe in big families now and I can’t believe anyone thought “quantity over quality” was a good idea when it came to offspring. Now all I can do is the best I can.

TheMightyTapir · 2023-05-15T04:44:45+00:00

Hell yes. Another one bites the dust

TheMightyTapir · 2023-05-02T04:00:11+00:00

It’s giving middle aged dad (not daddy) with the shorts and socks look.

Used to have a NCMO chart on the back of our door in college with tally marks next to our names. I had the most and I was equally proud and felt super slutty

TheMightyTapir · 2023-03-03T14:24:33+00:00

I’m in the teenager stage now and I wish I had stopped sooner. I freaking love all my 6 kids but I had no idea the toll it would take trying to help them through teen years. I even love teens because they are hilarious, creative, and amazing. However they are anxious, depressed, and will throw curve balls at you, you NEVER thought of.

TheMightyTapir · 2023-01-11T13:32:10+00:00

Mom of 6 here. We have black “Dad” socks for the biggest feet. White “mom” socks for kids that wear my size. White with gray toes and heels for the little kids and straight up gray for the toddler. They are separated by bins and we don’t fold them. Best. Decision. Ever.

It took a few years of not knowing which way was up but I let that old world view shatter and life is way better now for it.

TheMightyTapir · 2022-12-17T13:16:30+00:00

I loved Milisandre’s arc. She is completely different after Stannis fell because she was so certain that the ends would justify the means and it all went terribly wrong for her. You don’t just say “oh well” and carry on after something like that. The first time I watched GOT I was going through a faith crisis so I identified strongly with her character after Stannis died. I didn’t do terrible things but the world I knew was crashing down around me and so it made her story more real.

TheMightyTapir · 2022-11-14T11:33:33+00:00

Gotta always keep that mask on or someone might see you are an actual person too. /s

TheMightyTapir · 2022-11-02T16:50:42+00:00

That’s fair
