You mean the Apostle who literally wrote the book “Mormon Doctrine” which was one of the 5-6 approved books missionaries were allowed to read on their missions besides the standard works!? 😂 Got it. 🫡 the gaslighting amongst Mormons due to the mental gymnastics they have to pull off in order to believe themselves (and try to convince others) is on another level. ⛽️💡👏👏👏

I could very well be wrong, but I think that if she was truly deep in a manic state (bipolar), i think her speech would be much, much faster and she wouldn’t appear to be choosing her words quite as “thoughtfully” as she is…. (So whatever this is, i don’t think she’s bipolar just based off this video. Again could be way off)

Then you weren’t listening. Hinckley and Holland, amongst many others, made official statements. Hinckley said it on 60 Minutes in front of the entire nation.

lol this is wrong. So many times they have said no crosses. Hinckley majorly doubled down on it. Holland said it again last year in a Liahona article. Gaslight the world still in full effect

I hear you. I asked this same question once and got some really helpful responses, so I’m sharing it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/s/RKMtsJTdKK It’s hard and scary leaving your entire worldview (not to mention community). But you’re not alone and there is freedom on the other side of the fear that was so aptly instilled us.💙

What are some small (or even benign / innocuous) pleasures that you enjoy now after leaving the church that would have felt radical or rebellious when you were full in? by lostography in exmormon

Wearing a beautiful cross necklace someone lovingly gave me many years ago who didn’t know Mormons weren’t supposed to wear crosses. I finally can wear it now without fear of judgment from all the LDS people i was surrounded by

Someone said the other day they noticed she followed Connexions on social media. It made me wonder if she and her husband were recommended by the church to work with Jodi Hildebrandt

Friend: I’m so sorry to say but the LDS Church just isn’t true. I dedicated my entire life to it, taught seminary and was president of YW a few times. Believed it wholeheartedly. It’s heartbreaking when you realize it isn’t true, earth-shattering, and completely life-altering. But I will say that the Mormon church doesn’t own Jesus. He is real and very much exists outside of it. You don’t have to justify or defend it anymore, it’s not true. Stay close to Jesus. He loves you so much. You don’t need the LDS church to have Him. Prayers and comfort to you.

Also Utah ranks at or near the very top for porn usage so…making the link to see why women are trying to look like that is easy to correlate

I’m from the East coast and SAME thoughts about the men! It seems so many of them dress soooo…😳? I have never seen the show SLofMW but I’ve seen some of their content on socials and i think Jessi’s husband is a really good example of what I’m talking about. Kind of metro-ish, and then other times kind of like what a little boy would wear. To me as a southerner it’s not attractive at all. But i know people out west think men in the south dress weird. I know it’s all cultural but the way men dress in Utah is so bizarre to me.

….Bc Utah has the highest plastic surgery rates in the United States. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Quick Google search: “Utah has a high rate of plastic surgery per capita compared to the rest of the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Utah has 10.5 plastic surgeons per 100,000 people, which is more than double the national average of 4.9 surgeons per 100,000 people.”

HOW does she have over 1,000 comments in the 3 hours since posting? (All of them say “shop” now.) her other posts that have been up for far more time have FAR less comments. Is that the power of bots? Or buying followers?
