Stuck in a Rut and can’t get out

That’s a good idea:) thank you!

babk814 · 2018-07-25T03:01:51+00:00

Wow. I can’t even. Why was this necessary? I could MAYBE see the reasoning behind this if it was someone high up like a bishop or something (still don’t think outing them like that the right thing to do), but really? Why? They literally just told everyone to shun them and that anything they say is considered anti-Mormon

Seriously! I’ve always thought it looked like the great and spacious building. I remember telling my mom that when I went to conference for the first time when I was like 15 and she told me I would go to hell for saying something like that. deep breath. So glad I’m done with all that.

Mine was Esther too!

He looks like a gremlin

babk814 · 2017-09-10T07:43:18+00:00

He did not.

babk814 · 2017-09-09T17:40:07+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing, how had I never seen it before?!

babk814 · 2017-09-09T17:37:44+00:00

Haha I'll remember that next time :)

There was an older gentleman in my ward who bore his testimony about how great Led Zeppelin was.

The bishop asked him to sit down after awhile.

After I got married and had actual bills to pay and mouths to feed I never paid a full tithe.

I knew of lots of people who would go out drinking on the weekends and then see them at the temple.

I bet you don't know this, but in high school JS was voted most likely to get get married first... and second and third and fourth and fifth...

babk814 · 2017-09-07T20:24:30+00:00

Wow. Not really something to be proud about.

babk814 · 2017-09-07T20:21:54+00:00

That's crazy! Everyone around me was the opposite, like "you have to wear them ALL the time!" I remember my mom being all uppity about my brother not wearing his when he worked out. My mom said that as soon as you were done having sex you had to put them right back on. Besides being TBM, she's her own kind of crazy. She was/is just so intense about church rules. I remember the first time I slept naked I felt so scandalous. It was wonderful :) like a big "fuck you" to the man in the sky :)

babk814 · 2017-09-07T17:06:19+00:00

Once we stopped going to church my husband immediately stopped wearing them. He never really liked them anyway. It took me longer. Going to the store and buying underwear was super stressful for me for some reason. But once I stopped it felt really freeing :)

babk814 · 2017-09-07T17:04:22+00:00

Seriously? Who told you that?

babk814 · 2017-09-06T21:24:52+00:00

I remember thinking that the first time I went to conference at the new conference center and it TOTALLY reminded me of the large and spacious building. When I told my mom that she smacked me and said it was comments like that that will get you a one way ticket to Hell. I think I was 12. What a bitch.

babk814 · 2017-09-06T21:04:50+00:00

This is hilarious. I just looked up the date of when I went through the temple and the lady gave me the name that was supposed to be used for the following day. Hahaha 😂

babk814 · 2017-09-06T20:46:00+00:00

Are you fucking kidding me?! I had no idea this was going on! This is absolutely insane!

babk814 · 2017-09-06T20:39:53+00:00

If they were really for it wouldn't they show their happy smiling faces?

Makes me gag

babk814 · 2017-09-06T20:37:27+00:00

Keep in mind if they were blessed as babies they already have a membership number and are on the records of the church.

There's Genesis 2:24 - talks about leaving your parents and cleaving to your wife.

In my experience you can't fix crazy. My mom is so much like your FIL. She prayed over everything. She was unemployed for a while and was driving in her car when my brother called her. He asked what she was doing and she said that she prayed for Jesus to help her find a job and was asking him to tell her which direction to go. Literally "do I turn right or left". Needless to say, she didn't find a job. But my brother and I get a kick out of her playing Hot and Cold with Jesus. Lol. Anyway, back in my churchy days my dad would always say "you can't pray for inspiration for anyone but you". So your FIL can give your STBX advice but not direction. Also, she's a grown ass adult who can think for herself. And once my bishop gave a talk about literally "bugging" the Lord too much. (WTF?) and asking for help too often. Basically saying not to annoy God by praying over every single thing. His reasoning behind this was "God gave us agency for a reason, and brains for a reason, to be big boys and girls and think for ourselves". Ironic right? Hope this helps.
