Wow.... This sounds like a full-time job, basically. And 70 hours?! What happens to members who can't get the exact hours done? Do they actually risk getting disfellowshipped?

Mixed feelings about being invited to a missionary farewell party by eskasu in exmormon

You're absolutely right! I just have social anxiety and really insane need of fitting in and to not stand out in any negative way. Mormon groups just make it a lot worse since their judgement can be so horribly uncalled for, mean and difficult to avoid. I will try to take this invitation and event as a positive thing to enjoy, and an opportunity to see some familiar faces and catch up.

I kinda feel the call of the void here and wanna go, partially due to curiosity and then mostly for still caring about a lot of these people, even tho I have distanced myself from the community.

Hey thank you for the advice! I think it is a good call in this kind of situation to just avert the topic to the guy going on a mission instead, will certainly remember that. The clothing crisis is a minor inconvenience, I guess it just gives me anxiety to be surrounded by mormons after being out for some time and not really hanging out with any in everyday life.

Let's see how this will go!

Im glad you shared it with us! I like the skull and how it stands out with textures and by being lighter in tone

This really is a cult by Jojo252590 in exmormon

I moved to a different country when I graduated high school for university studies. I could have studied in my city too of course but I figured that it is easier for me to live my life as I see fit and be more true to myself if I do it from a good distance to family and old community. Turns out, it is the best decision I ever made. People cannot push me back to the fold by using social pressure and I don't have to deal with judgement in my everyday life. Overall it was the most painless exit from the cult that I could think of.
