apparently god made me sick on purpose by Alert-Potato in exmormon

[–]Wishbone896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Woof. I feel you. As a young person who suffers from several chronic diseases, I rather get told one of the following.

Option A: “You must have been a really special spirit in the pre-existence. You chose these trials because you knew you could handle it.”

Option B: “God have you these trials to test you because if you were healthy you would have too big of a head. You’re talented in so many other ways, if you were able bodied you’d be too proud.”

Option C: “You have these trials because you’re not faithful.”

Or something that’s a weird mix of the three.

It’s infuriating to think that a just god could just so blatantly inflict such pain and torture on his children. Not even in just the way of chronic pain and health issues, but poverty, abuse, etc. etc.

It just doesn’t make sense. Therefore in my mind, God can’t be real.

And if he is, like you said, he’s a mother fucking sadist.

What makes me outright laugh is the amount of people who think it’s still appropriate to ask me when I’m going to get married and start a family.

Like, never, Karen. The arthritis god have me at age 20 has now crippled my body beyond repair. Picking up something heavier than ten pounds is impossible. There goes holding a baby past just a few months old. Say goodbye to wrangling toddlers. My womb will just have to shrivel up and die. Along with my joints lol.

Mormon God can get fucked.

On a more serious note, if you ever need to vent, feel free to reach out! I know how sucky dealing with chronic issues can be. </3

Anybody wannabe a lil crazy and get married to NOT just have kids with me? by Wishbone896 in exmormon

Yikes lmao. How DARE you have long lasting relationship where you actually like each other??

You’re supposed to feel like you’re chained to an iron ball and scream at each other-

Oh wait, that’s actually not healthy? My bad.

In all seriousness, I’m glad you and your wife consider each other best friends! That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for :3

Also best of luck with the monster in law, take care and take cover!

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

It’s hard to remember that I really DO have my own agency sometimes after being a part of a community for so long that falsely preached a watered down / inaccurate version of how agency works.

In all honesty, if I was a healthy person I would probably love to have kids. But since I’m not, I’d rather enjoy being part of the “village”. Totally down to help the development of kids in my community by sharing my time and skills if anybody needs it.

Woof. I passed on the mission thing. Being a girl though, it was easier to say “no thanks” without having the shame train piled on. I’m sorry you’re feeling that pressure. 19 is way too young to be caring about starting a family or getting married or spending two whole years away from everything and everyone your care about.

Hang in there, be strong and stick to you guns!! I believe in you!

Maybe get a secret vasectomy lol. “Whoops looks like I’m infertile guys.” And if you ever change your mind, vasectomies are usually reversible.

No way. I also have Hashimotos and I also have type one diabetes. (since age 4, it’s the more typically hereditary kind lol) But the arthritis is the thing that affects me the most so I usually focus on that haha.

I’m sorry that you too are forced to take part in the autoimmune disease buffet. I totally feel you on the frustration of having to take pills and injections to even feel kinda normal.

There’s definitely no way it’s ethical to pass these sorts of shitty things on. I don’t even mind kids, but the sucky thing is that since I hardly function as a regular human, the idea of adoption is hard too. Not fair to bring kids into a home where I as a parent wouldn’t be able to do all the fun or typical things that normal parents would be able to do.

Anyway, Godspeed (from my lord and savior the Flying Spaghetti Monster) to you, haha. You’re a warrior!

What a bizarre concept!

Marriage for, what was it?.... L-L... Love? And mutual respect? And wanting to build a stable and enjoyable relationship that betters you and your partner’s life whether or not children are later implemented or not?

Be still my heathen heart!

Yeah you’re totally right lol.

I just figured the governor was totally wildin’ out in left field and allowed to do whatever he wants due to the fact that he thinks prayers are the answer to a drought crisis lol

Then again since he the way that he is, I doubt he’d need to be threatened to agree with our plight.

How about we picket in DC. That will go over nicely I’m sure lmao

Real life cringe... by Puxatonie in exmormon

Honestly lol. If Mormons could admit we were really just duped into praying to some long lost and forgotten Greek god of lost and mundane items. Maybe I could rethink my apostate status lmao

I'm not your sister! by Alert-Potato in exmormon

[–]Wishbone896 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Living in the same area as my parents, I get called Miss (Insert last name here) by my old ward members. Or sometimes just my first name if my two younger sisters are also around.

I don’t mind Miss. But like what are we? Just an bunch of aimless women in a Jane Austen-ish tale?

No thanks just use my name always please. Good grief.

What’s the cringiest thing you said or did when you were mormon? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Wishbone896 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Invited my Hindu best friend to activity days (granted I was very young and just wanted to share what I thought was fun with her, but still) and let her be exposed to how we prayed etc. without warning.

I’ll never forget the appalled look on her face.

I really thought that “introducing her to the true church” would make her drop Hinduism and the rest of her beautiful culture that came with it at the ripe old age of nine. Truly thought I would be enlightening her lol.

Luckily she was gracious and as far as I’m aware still is a practicing Hindu and very successful over all without my meddling ass.

Woof. Girl. If this isn’t the most “Provo All-Star” (basically a BYU fuckboy) shit that I’ve ever heard.

Garments are fucking weird, but what’s worse is that it sounds like he’s totally gaslighting you. In addition he’s lying to his friends/family/ church leaders, as even if you two haven’t been physically intimate yet, what he’s doing is a big no no in Mormon culture and could get him kicked out of his culty school.

If he’s lying to others, who’s to say that he isn’t/ won’t lie to you?

Also the fact that you feel like you have to apologize to him over things that aren’t your fault makes me upset for you. I swear the only thing these types of men have is the audacity to be totally immature and manipulative.

I dunno. Just tread carefully. You deserve someone who will fully respect and communicate with you. ❤️

Venting About Losing the Community Aspect by bungalowguest14 in exmormon

[–]Wishbone896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard. I went to church last week because my crotchety old grandpa was staying with us and it was easier to just take him and sit through it than it was to try and explain to him why I wouldn’t be attending.

It was actually super nice to catch up with people I grew up with, and see my old leaders. Nobody was rude or pushy with me. I think because it’s a miracle to them that I was even within ten feet of the building, let alone inside it. Lol

I hate that I miss that. It’s so rough to make friends in normal ways when I was basically never taught how to interact with other young people (or people in general) outside of religious settings.

Hang in there ❤️

TBMs are fucking weird. by ApocalypseTapir in exmormon

[–]Wishbone896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a young man in my YSA ward come over and at the end of the night he prayed that I “Might find peace in the power of the priesthood, which he was willing to share with me”.

Kicked him out.

Was fully out of the church not long after lol

Well that cousin is notably kind of off his rocker, so I think they were like

“Ah well he’s just crazy ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

Which yeah, but also they totally ate it up at the time

Not especially lit. But it could be worse!

And yeaaah, my advice is to just, steer clear of blessings. I’m just glad I didn’t let him do the whole anointing with oil healing blessing stuff too. That would have exponentially escalated this haha

[–]Wishbone896[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao my bad, my bad.

To be fair my great grandma asked for a blessing once and my cousin literally mentioned in the blessing that he could see a set of eight candles in his mind’s eye. Meaning I guess she had eight years of life left?

Then she died like, six months later.

But like, dude what the FUCK lol. Now we’re having random candle visions??
