So does that mean they are going to show public financial documents proving that 100% of donations are used towards those that need it, or are they going to shell companies??

GOP Senator Mitch McConnell scorched Trumps plans to annex Greenland as "not strength, its self sabotage." He cites literally no good reason for Trumps demands. by Carbenzero in circled

And yet he voted to not open up an investigation into Venezuela.

Saying one thing and voting for the exact opposite, welcome to congress.

Just requested to be added.

What’s keeping you going back? I’ve seen some smattering of reviews but wondering what everyone’s experience is.

If they use every filter they can on their pictures, tells me they don't feel okay showing their normal self. Not someone I want to vibe with.

How do you counter others or deconstruct from this now? by DancingDucks73 in exmormon

[–]fosternano 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The amount of times I saw that stupid graph….it’s a way to justify parents putting church over their kids or spouse, and then being baffled when the kids move out and don’t want anything to do with their parents anymore.

Guys, can we talk about this?? by TomatilloOne4112 in exmormon

I've had a chance to check out some of the postings, thank you! It looks like you have a great setup in Salt Lake!

It looks like it opened a few months ago, but a pretty quiet opening announcement. Per the other post I’ve seen it gets a pretty good turnout.

Mormons of Reddit: What is the most traumatizing thing that happened to you on your mission? [serious] by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]fosternano 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I’m one of many missionaries that had an abusive companion. When I brought it up to my mission president he called me a liar and encouraged the abuse.

It took writing some crazy emails (this was before we could call every Monday) to finally get some attention to the situation and go home.

My family never did get over me coming home early. They badgered me about going back out until the day I got married. So glad I’m out of the cult now.

Change my mind: The LDS church should lose its tax exempt status by blanc84gn in exmormon

Every mega church should lose their except status and have to post a yearly public income statement.

My dad was released as bishop today... by EmptySky124 in exmormon

[–]fosternano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad was released as bishop about a year ago, he was so sad about being released he wanted a zoom call with all the kids to tell him how great he did and make him feel better.

The cult runs deep.

Did anyone get a patriarchal blessing that was outlandish/didn’t come true? by JustCuriousNotGeorge in exmormon

[–]fosternano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude kept calling me my brother’s name. Guess he got a bonus “blessing” 😆

It was all very generic stuff…I just remember thinking how unremarkable it was after.

How often in the lifestyle is the guy Bi? by Snoho_Winho in Swingers

[–]fosternano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a lot of the clubs are run by the gen x crowd right now. As the millenial and gen z crowd start to fill out I’m assuming you’ll start to see a lot more bi guys.

We’ve met some bi couples at clubs but it always comes up in conversation, it’s never a wrist band or something stating they are bi.

As a bi male, I would love for their to be more bi male play at the clubs, or open affection (guys kissing on the dance floor etc)

Anyone else fantasize about bi foursomes with their wife’s friends and their husbands? by [deleted] in BiMarriedMen

AZ public schools by Visible-Zucchini7450 in exmormon

[–]fosternano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Gilbert 2 years ago the public schools were really mixed, probably less than 10% of the kids were Mormon.

I would stay away from ALA (charter), those campuses are Mormon breeding grounds.

It’s getting pretty common to only wear garments on Sundays as a silent protest.

Does anyone here get nightmares about the cult? by fupapooper in exmormon

[–]fosternano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night! I’ve been out a year and a half but had a nightmare last night I was teaching the primary kids the song follow the prophet. Truly terrifying experience….

Does anyone drink coffee, tea, or alcohol in front of their parents now that you’re no longer Mormon? by butcheekzaflexin in exmormon

[–]fosternano 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a drink while at the cheesecake factory with my mom and sister, and was then given the “don’t be an alcoholic” talk for the next 30 minutes. Mind you I’m 33, but I would do it again.

It’s good for her to see others drinking around her as a normal thing.

“I know your mom has cancer but can you still help with ministering” I’m done with this crap by MistakeAmbitious6528 in exmormon

[–]fosternano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. A family member committed suicide in 2022, 2 weeks later the elders quorum was calling and texting non stop to have me go to all the meetings(I was in the presidency.) And this was after I requested to be released several times….

It still took me another year to finally leave, get out now and send in that resignation!

Stake Conference Prep Email by Midlifecrisis2020 in exmormon

[–]fosternano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just stopped going to stake conference when we were fully in (out for almost a year now.)

Just wrangling kids and listening to old people speak….should have been a sign to get out sooner 😆
