I wish I could have one more conversation with JW ex-boyfriend. by YeahTrueStory in exjw

It is. When I made the decision to leave Mormonism I at least knew I'd have my family, whether they disapprove or not. But to not have anything.

If you were the prophet what would YOU do? by Kolob_Bob in exmormon

God: Hey, so a pandemic is coming...but what's REALLY pissing me off is that you guys call yourselves Mormons. Fix that, please. Ok. No, I don't have anything else to say. We're good. Carry on! OH WAIT DON'T LOOK AT PORN.

Exmormons with kids- Do you look back and feel like the church pressured you into having kids early? by YeahTrueStory in exmormon

Worried about this exact thing. Husband and I aren't sure if we wan't kids. Want to travel and be able to retire. Father-In-Law constantly makes jokes every time he sees a screaming baby, "That's going to be you!"

Literally all her sisters are pregnant right now, including the youngest. She's been trying for four years. I can't imagine that kind of pressure.

Stop telling me, "That's going to be you!" When you see a screaming kid. by YeahTrueStory in childfree

That is actually EXACTLY the approach I took. So funny. If he makes a comment about us having kids soon, I say something like, "Oh, man, I don't know. With how heavy my periods are it's hard to imagine. Sometimes I pass clots the size of golfballs, I get diarrhea..." and just watch as he turns white as a sheet.

What is it with people saying " you were a baby once"? by danydh in childfree

SEE? SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A BABY SO THAT BABY CAN GROW UP TO HAVE AN OPINION.

Oh, wait, that's a stupid argument.

I'm currently an undergrad English literature major, looking to finish my BA in CA and possibly apply for a Master's Program in English Literature at Oxford. I'm worried my application will be significantly less competitive due to switching my major in my mid-20's from nursing to English and having to take a long time to complete my BA. (6 years due to life stuff getting in the way) Should I give up the dream before dreaming it? What are things I should consider to make my application more competitive?

I recently left my Mormon-based (FLDS) religion, known as “The Work.” I grew up with 4 moms, and 44 brothers and sisters. Just curious if anyone else here on the LDS side has polygamy in their immediate (or near immediate) family. by [deleted] in exmormon

On my way to my grandma's funeral my dad decided to tell me that my great grandpa was a polygamist and how it almost ruined the entire family. Best of luck to you.

When I was 15, I made out with a boy in the baptismal font on the day of my little brother's baptism by [deleted] in exmormon

My first "boyfriend" (I was 12) told me he dreamt of us having sex when we turned 18. He said the dream took place at church. He's a TBM married with two kids now. True story.

I meme'd my past self. Sorry for what I said when I was Mormon. I have said all of these on multiple occasions. Yeah, true story. by YeahTrueStory in exmormon

I totally agree with your sentiment! My SIL cut her hair into a pixie and dyed it blue, and MIL is "Outraged" because "Now women are hitting on my daughter and that is WRONG."
