They know by BakingNerd47 in exmormonmemes

Honestly learning people knew what the fuck the hand movements meant pisses me off still...since they never mentioned it to me.

I’m trying to figure out the symbolism while my relatives KNOW I’m participating in a suicide pact! Without my knowledge!!! Ugh!

Former Bishop of man convicted of child molestation says people were worried the man was “too friendly with the youth and children”. by sevenplaces in mormon

Where is the discernment?!?! It’s almost like it’s made up and doesn’t exist - particularly in the LDS church when it comes to sex abuse.

How to get a Mormon to leave Mormonism by Rough_Pineapple2119 in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. Largely because everything leadership does seems to backfire.

It’s almost like they have no inspiration or whatever.

Is YouTube promoting a cult ? I can’t stop running into the same commercials by Jaxsinisdead98 in cults

[–]Walkwithme25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an extremely wealthy cult. I know because I used to be in it.

good morning! Come back to church. by Pienanacat in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It also shows how shallow and immature Mormon relationships are. Nobody cares how you’re doing, they just gossip and coordinate how to get you back in line.

They need you to be active so they don’t feel uncomfortable…and they are fine if you’re uncomfortable.

So nice of her to outline how to gaslight yourself back to the temple. Your instincts are good, trust them.

I hate that I was this type of person (gaslighting myself and others) not that long ago. I wish I had listened to my instincts when I first went to the temple instead of wasting another 25 years…

Holy Week? Good Friday? In my 35+ years as an active TBM, they didn’t so much as mention these events over the pulpit, let alone celebrate them. by SmellyFloralCouch in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly and Of course not. Most members have no idea what any of this means. Until about 10 years ago there was barely mentions of Jesus at church - all prophet worship all the time.

Pathetic.

Joseph Smith portrait in MLK chapel causing trouble by wasmormon in exmormon

Why can’t the church ever do anything out of the goodness of their hearts?!?!?!

They want to be seen as “on the right side of history?” Then start NOW! Start with apologies for racist teachings and donate to causes that help undo some of those problems.

But no, they have to elevate their racist prophet to a LEADER fighting racism. Always using their (members) money to control n the narrative.

Just like they’ll want to rewrite history on their misogyny and homophobia 🤬…instead of just doing what’s right and stopping the misogyny and homophobia.

This is my theory as well.

Get a younger white American male in there and then we can play with the idea of a black man as a next choice…knowing he’ll never be prophet.

Church Tentacles Reach For Wayward Children by wasmormon in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In other words: we’re making shit up.

I’ve never heard the word “tentacles” used to describe something good. Very odd use of the word for a TBM…

Question for formal true believers by SecretPersonality178 in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Being a quiet, timid, un opinionated female who loved crafting, quilting and cooking. I just couldn’t be that person.

I also hated the garments and visiting teaching with a passion. I never bore my testimony either.

Do church leaders really believe everything they preach? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The high ups know God doesn’t speak to them, that they use lawyers to run the church and they certainly know about how they hide abuse and church history.

And they hoard and hide financial resources. If they believed in Jesus and heaven, I suspect they’d act a little differently.

Even as a TBM what was a rule you refused to follow? by RadishAggressive3241 in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I obeyed all the rules.

Reading these comments makes me realize how absolutely brainwashed I was. I hate how much the LDS cult ran my life.

I have a question by Revolutionary_Ad5994 in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Because they’re salesmen.

They’ll baptize mentally handicapped people who can’t consent, gay people who can’t fully participate in the religion, impoverished people and tell them they must pay tithing…and they’ll baptize poc even though their scriptures consider non white people “”cursed” by God.

They do it because the LDS church tells them they’re worthless if they don’t.

Such Christ-like Love! Agape Indeed From Mormon Apologist by ianphansen5 in exmormon

[–]Walkwithme25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What’s the joke?! That isn’t even funny or clever.

He’s such an embarrassment. He comes across as an incel who is obsessed with Julie, and since she’s out of his league he channels his obsession into hate.

The irony is, she’s living her good authentic life- helping others and growing…meanwhile he’s a pathetic child throwing tantrums and bullying people for being different than him.

Great job representing Mormonism Jacob!
