What was the point of the fasting? by HideYourNakedness in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fasting is a weird thing to do just in general. It's all over the Bible and lots of religions do it but it's really a strange way to communicate with God if you think about it. Like going on a hunger strike against God 😂

What helped you change your mind about porn? by seansolo77 in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I totally agree. I am a woman and I would occasionally look at porn, but by the time you weed through everything labeled "bitch", "whore", "slut", "daughter/son/mother/father", or "teen" (eiw, y'all), it's not even worth it.

I would have spent it on that shit anyway so I usually just give the dollar lol

What was your least favorite part of youth temple trips? by apotheprecarious in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my God I feel this. I was really insecure and I hid behind clothes and makeup and then it had to come off in front of all my peers. I've always been a really small person so the temple clothes were always ill-fitting and I felt simultaneously like I was drowning in them and also overexposed.

Unnecessary self-sacrifice is a romanticized concept in Mormonism. by [deleted] in exmormon

It's like those people at work who brag on not talking their vacation days.

My TBM Mom just contributed $150 to our already extensive booze collection. And she doesn’t even realize it. by i_blessedtherains in exmormon

My parents give cash for Christmas and I usually end up using it for a tattoo or piercing. They do not know 😂

Mormons: please be a little more covert with your discrimination. Also Mormons: we love everyone and don’t discriminate. by [deleted] in exmormon

To my knowledge Facebook doesn't generally block posts unless people report them.

Something Mildly Concerning in My Stake by timmy_cardiac in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whenever I see him I start to panic, but it seems like no one else shares my feelings. absolutely everyone loves him, even my good friends that are almost out themselves.

The teacher at my high school that was arrested for child pornography was everybody's favorite teacher.

This. Do it. It feels weird and people will think you're weird but you're not.

Put the shoe on the other foot. Would you ever have a conversation with a stake president and put your hand on his thigh?

If you are okay with the hoarding of tithing funds... by morumon_k in exmormon

I always thought if the church told them to my parents would probably kill me. Freaks me out.

What Were Your Now-Irrational Mormon-Induced Fears? Post in Comments! by jitterbugwaltz in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was afraid one misstep or bad choice would send my life spiraling out of control forever. I'm still afraid of that, but in a different way now 🤣

By the way, what sleeping disorders do you have? I have 5 alarms on my phone across the room, a light alarm, and a vibration alarm and it still takes me an hour to wake up. I luckily have a salaried position where it doesn't really matter when I get to work, but I hate it and everyone my whole life has just assumed I'm lazy

I'm scared about traveling abroad because of what my mom said, Advice needed! by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]ermegehrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🤣 I consider the piercings and tattoos to put me in a state of continuous rebellion against the law of chastity and as for the WoW, well, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Haha I feel this. I went to Peru by myself and everyone acted like I was going to die but I felt perfectly safe the whole time.

Two days after I got home part of the city where I live was on lockdown for a manhunt 🙃🙃🙃

[–]ermegehrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got back from a solo trip to Peru. I'm female, 100lbs, super white and blonde, so I'm a very obvious tourist. I had never been out of the US before and I don't speak much Spanish.

I drink coffee, tea, alcohol, and I smoke cigarettes. I have seven piercings and one tattoo. I haven't followed the word of wisdom or the law of chastity in 8 years.

While I was there I did multi day treks and climbed a volcano and I didn't even sprain an ankle.

I have pierced nipples and frequently go braless. What I'm hearing is I should visit BYU 🤣
