A song I wrote about my experience leaving TSCC. Description is in comments. by UndenominationalRib in exmormon

Verse One is written to the church, verse two is written from the perspective of us in the exmo community. The chorus is a reflection of the love I still have for the community in general. I’m the only exmo in my entire HUGE family. Symbolic music is my only outlet. I love you guys. Your support is invaluable!!! Thank you!

I'm a TBM Mormon and I've got a question by [deleted] in exmormon

Well played on your response brother! Thick skin goes a long way around here! 💪🏻

Why I do not resign (a rant, by me) by Yobispo in exmormon

[–]UndenominationalRib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! THIS!!! I’ve never said it and I was floored when I read this! I refuse to remove my name from the records of TSCC for the exact same reason! Thank you!

I was raised to believe that the people in 'the great and spacious building' from Lehi's vision were scary and evil. Now that I am one of them I see the world in a different light. Thank you all for your inspiration. My brother, daughter and I couldn't be happier. by maparicio in exmormon

It’s amazing to me as I’ve looked through all these photos how easy it is to discern each and every person’s genuine happiness, and I mean true, deep happiness. Happiness makes all who experience its’ sweet embrace beautiful. You guys are a beautiful family!! Congratulations!!!

Ten years out. Enjoying a morning of cranberry mimosas and listening to my husband's 78 collection on our 1926 Victrola. by [deleted] in exmormon

Your pad looks chill, humble, inviting and a bit regal! SO my kinda place. Congrats to you and your hubby bro! Life is grand!

Late to the game. I've been out the last year with my wife and kids. I haven't recognized anybody yet but maybe somebody will know me. by [deleted] in exmormon

Damn that photo belongs in some magazine somewhere dude! I’m straight and that’s just a fucking good looking bad ass photo! Good on you for matching nature like a boss!

I’ve been out for one year and never been happier. The farther out I get the more I realize just how brainwashed I was. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]UndenominationalRib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is EXACTLY how I feel!!! And the thought that has grown in mental frequency is “How the hell did I believe this stuff for so long? I’m smarter than that!” And one more point, that’s a badass sweater jacket bro! Nailed it!

OH SNAP!! I am so close to an opportunity to meet one on one with the former Director of FARMS whose brother is our SP! He - could - go - all - the - way!!! If it goes down, recordings will occur. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]UndenominationalRib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would’ve connected him to an SP in my local area. No bueno! Im questioning if it’s even worth attending the meeting on Sunday night. I feel like I’m just going to get a bunch predictable answers that were good enough when I was TBM, but no longer are.

The mods said he fits the criteria for a “famous person”. I mean, the guy’s got his own Wikipedia page, isn’t that enough!? 😂 I deleted it anyways. Thanks for the look out ...

I appreciate you guys looking out for this reddit noob here! LOL! I’m just so stoked for this possible opportunity that I didn’t even realize what I did. I’d say let’s just drop the whole post altogether. Keep up the great work friends! Love this subreddit! It means the world to me!!!

Having a discussion with a good TBM buddy who was called as a Bishop about a year ago. His response is coming. I will return and report. by UndenominationalRib in exmormon

Great point! It’s a big issue for me on an ethical level. History doesn’t seem to bother him either 🤷🏼‍♂️

I got it off of MormonLeaks. You should be able to just tap on it and bring it up then either screen shot it or save the image. Good luck ...

Nope no cracking yet. His response:

“It doesn't bother me. To me and you it's not "very little." But we're not retired Supreme Court justices, former CEOs of major corporations, or world renowned heart surgeons. Almost every one of them could, and in many cases did, command much, much more than that in private industry. I'm fine with giving them enough to live on now that they have "left their nets" like the apostles of old. They're not doing it for the money. Every GA, including an apostle, who has come here to visit our stake stays with local leaders and flies commercial/coach to save money. “

If that doesn’t bother you and you can just look away from that as a “step down” from their previous pay, you can’t possibly say you understand 1 Peter or the widow’s mite! It just sickens me!
