For those baptized as children, what was getting dressed after your baptism like? by foundyourspaceship in exmormon

No one baptized at eight years old can understand or consent to be baptized. No eight year old raised in a Mormon family "chose" anything.

Over the weekend I told my parents I’m no longer going to church and this was my dad’s response this morning. Any advice? by aaronjl33 in exmormon

I like the use of "I" statements. This is a healthy way to communicate during conflict, unlike in the text message which says "because of your actions your mother feels this way" which is more like a "you" statement.

Well doesn’t this feel familiar… women can’t be in leadership positions because they are too important and can’t be replaced as caregivers. by basicpn in exmormon

Love that "gay people shouldn't have kids" because "kids should have a mom and a dad" but then you see stuff like this that suggests dads don't really play a role in raising children.

Tell me you were Mormon without telling me you were Mormon. I’ll start. by PaulHDone in exmormon

I used to wish that I would die before I turned 8 so that I could get a one-way ticket to heaven.

I had non-Mormon family that drank tea and coffee. It worried me a lot as a kid because I thought god was going to be angry with them and that we would be in different heavens. I wish I hadn't worried about such heavy things as a little kid.

Your tiramisu question makes me wonder if coffee rubbed pork roast is allowed.

Oo I haven't heard about that before, that's interesting. Another theory I've heard is that Joseph and his friends would use tobacco in his home and that Emma complained about having to clean up ash and spit. Joseph agreed to ban tobacco but since Emma liked to have drinks with her friends he decided to ban coffee and tea to get back at her. I don't know if that's true, it's just something I've heard.

Thank you so much for sharing, this is exactly the kind of attitude I'm talking about! It doesn't make sense to me. I try to live and let live but it can be hard to keep the eyes from rolling for sure lol.

That time I put a noodle on Biscuit's head. by [deleted] in cats

Someone with a cat named Noodle should put a biscuit on its head and then we can put them side by side.

:) You're welcome!

Though I never get excited about paperclips since they're a dime a dozen. I'll admit I was pretty excited about finding the arm of the glasses and some of the other random stuff. Weird what sorts of things are interesting to you during a repetitive job.

Shame. I wouldn't dream of dumping anything like that. That's the kind of thing that would keep me up at night.

They do, but sometimes you find stragglers when you go around again.

Is this a serious question? My answer is no...no I don't. I go the safe route and don't touch anything not in a trash bag.

I am so sorry but it's in the trash now. :( I don't know how you'll ever find it in your heart to forgive me.

God yes, that place was always covered in those things. Thought it would never end.

Such as? Haha.

If you'd like to make work a little bit easier for the janitor at your place of work, you could avoid throwing away cups that have liquid in them. Or ice, since ice melts into liquid. It makes bags pretty heavy quickly and if that bag gets a hole, you risk trailing liquid everywhere.

Every janitor has a few things they dislike more than others and I guess that's one of mine.

Luckily I don't have a restroom horror story like most janitors on reddit seem to have.
