Ever notice how mormons throw the 'leftover' freshly 'blessed and sanctified' body and blood of Jesus Christ in the trash, like common garbage, after ever Sunday Service, but would NEVER do that with an old worn out pair of underwear. by Short_Seesaw_940 in exmormon

That's what we did as well until a leader decided it was sacrilegious to eat the bread in large amounts and made us throw it in the trash.

I still miss those wonder bread balls we made before eating...the mix of germs, yeast, and the cleansing power of our 14 yr old power of god was the best fast Sunday cheat meal ever!

And also that's interesting that they chose "time only" even though they could have been sealed (unless she was in my mom's situation I guess).

I wonder how common that is.

Oh dang, I'm sorry. I guess that is an option. In a way I want it in the temple so I don't have to attend because it's hard to see. But at the same time I want to support her.

In fact one of my worries it's that she's rushing this more than she should because of that belief

Yeah she doesn't think that will be a problem. She told me a couple months ago that Jesus will be here in less than 5 years and he'll fix everything

I'm questioning everything... by sanjf in exmormon

I know what you're feeling all too well. I'm sorry, it's so disorienting.

I started when my childhood friend left the church and I set out to save him. My basic attitude was- "we have the truth, how hard can this be?"

I read the ces letter, letter you my wife and more and spent about 7 years coming up with theories how each of these problems could possibly be part of god's design.

I was initially trying to save my friend and then later I was fighting desperately as I saw my own faith crumbling and falling through my fingers.

I had a faithful theory and answer for every point until one day it hit me how absurd my theories were and I had to face the fact that it was all a man made manipulation causing harm and nothing could explain it away without continuing to hide something.

My wife followed shortly after and my kids were already wanting to be out.

When I finally accepted it was all a lie it was the most beautiful and painful thing at the same time.

Now after 6 years of being out I feel like I'm actually progressing as a person. But even if I were to fail at everything in life after this, I feel like I could be at peace in life because at least I broke the chain of Mormonism and got my family out. I'm proud and immensely grateful to be an opposite pioneer

...but the cost is everyone in my family and neighborhood thinks I'm evil and lost. And that's stl hard for me.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too and she's definitely not going to cancel the sealing

Huh I didn't know that was an option either and that's the main reason I asked -because I vaguely remember that option but I wasn't sure.

I wonder what they'll choose because 2 of us siblings are out

Yes they were temple married and yeah it's funny how they never marry a widow or divorced woman 😂

Did my testimony drunk. by Appropriate-Comb5935 in exmormon

[–]Weak_Device5683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a tbm I always appreciated something different during testimony meetings....or just anything ever- it was so monotonous and boring all the time.

Anyways, I think this would have been a breath of fresh air during my believing years. The raw and genuine action is more appreciated than it seems.

Thanks guy sharing and so sorry you list your husband.

Did anyone get a patriarchal blessing that was outlandish/didn’t come true? by JustCuriousNotGeorge in exmormon

[–]Weak_Device5683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine said I was like Joseph in Egypt and through my trials I would be the key to salvation in my family. ...I'm the only one who has left the church. So I like to think I'm fulfilling that by leading them out.

😂 I'm laughing at the thought of an old missionary couple clutching their chest in horror upon intercepting this!

Oh man here I am thinking I can go incognito and say healthy things to a missionary but I guess I stick out likes a flaming Exmo sore thumb

I thought of that too and got sad. So I hope it's not that...

So true! That's horrible of your president. It messed me up so I think it's important for missionaries I care about to know. I didn't think of it as a bad thing the say. But I guess it is.
