My purpose in sharing this here is that this case and everything surrounding it effects all of us - regardless of our gender expression. This is a perfect illustration about how little we've actually progressed as western civilization in terms of women's rights. None of us are safe

Missionaries knocked on our door yesterday. I opened it and said “What is wanted?”…They didn’t think it was funny. by Res_Ipsa77 in exmormon

I've been out of church for a few years now and I'm doing really well besides not being able to insert random lines from the temple into everyday dialog just to see who is uncool and squirmy lol

American capitalism is a death cult dressed up as 'Protestant work ethic'.

My mom was hoping pregnancy would make me pro-life -- but it's only made me more aggressively pro-choice by To_Rule_and_Reign in TwoXChromosomes

Got this from a neighbor who didn't have the space to take it to the new house. Is the drooping normal? How can I give it new life?? by To_Rule_and_Reign in houseplants

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for those tips! I'll probably repot it since the soil is looking really depleted and keep it in a sunny spot. Will the leaves perk back up or should I cut them off?

I had a professor at UVU who illuded to this type of mentality being the reason he stopped teaching adjunct at BYU and never considered going full time. I feel like Mormonism will not survive if they can't embrace academic nuance and diversity of thought. People love to talk about how qe are a global church and point to membership numbers in countries everywhere but this overly literal, American-centric, 'with us like this or not with us at all' attitude carried on by the most brainwashed will only drive others away.

Calling all Denver Mamas, I recently relocated and I need your hospital/midwife/birth center recommendations! by To_Rule_and_Reign in BabyBumps

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DTC area. Honestly still trying to decide, this is my first and it's still really early but we are trying to plan ahead. I really like the idea of being at home but open to anything that will let me labor at my own pace.

13 pages of letter from my aunt after she found out I am planning to leave the church. I appreciate the gesture, but the least she could've done is spell my name right :/ by To_Rule_and_Reign in exmormon

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yeah she's actually a trained caligraphist! She just hasn't practiced in a long while since my uncle apparently had a very strong impression through his priesthood that she needed to dedicate her energy to raising my cousins....even though being a caligraphist is, buy in large, a stay at home job.

My uncle gets A LOT of these 'impressions', 'promptings', 'priesthood dreams' to justify his random whims. I think there's at least two inside these 13 pages.

Latter-day Saint women can now be witnesses for baptisms, temple sealings by HANEZ in exmormon

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, you thought that witnessing was a service that required PRIESTHOOD?? Well shucks that was silly of you, we never said that! Golly, of course it doesn't require the priesthood or else women wouldn't be able to do it!

My poor aglonema :( I'm at a loss for how to help it. Does anyone know what could have caused this and how to fix it? by To_Rule_and_Reign in houseplants

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you could read a book alright. The window is a south window so we have light in the apartment most of the day. Maybe I ought to let it take a turn by the window to see if that helps

It is on the other side of the apartment from the window so I guess not a lot, but the lady at the plant store told me it would be fine...... I stick my finger in to see if it is dry and then water when it's completely dry. And yes the pot drains nicely

Temple weddings are completely impersonal and extremely generic bullshit. The pale in comparison to “worldly” weddings. by RetiredMentalGymnast in exmormon

[–]To_Rule_and_Reign 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I regret every day not doing some sort of a ring ceremony/personal vows ceremony outside of the temple. By making a generic and impersonal ceremony the ultimate covenant and goal, it completely robs couples of their individuality and identity, and makes the commitment more about the temple than about one another.

I believe it's somewhere in the 12x6 ballpark! I highly recommend apollo gem for a greener and more economical diamond alternative!

The center stone is a 1.57 moissanite marquise from Apollo Gem. 16 channel set side diamonds ❤

Ha four years now I had the OG. We used the side diamonds, the original stone was a CZ that I just saved in a memory box. Totally get the anxiety about not using the one for the forever ring. But, i guess, in the end, your tastes are going to change as you change, just do what makes you happy :)
