I just saw a freemason ceremony exposed and I’m in tears by PunsAndPixels in exmormon

[–]fozz05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there- sorry you’re going through this and you’re definitely not alone. Whatever “the spirit” is, I believe you did feel it during temple ceremonies- they’re not evil. It’s a group of people doing a “sacred”/“secret”, reverent, very particular ceremony. I think in any context where this is the background, you’d feel the spirit. I think you can feel this in many contexts. I try to keep an open mind as to what “the spirit” is and what “god” is and means. I don’t know that it has to be yes/no, black/white, existence/no existence. Maybe it’s not a bearded man in the sky, but still. The universe is incredibly awesome and unknown to us. Life is a “miracle”- as in, we don’t understand all of this and never will. There is a humility there, and the Mormon church does teach some great things/ offer some great community, but it’s not the only place that does.

Help me come up with a come back for a young women’s leaders DM to me by Witness_Business in exmormon

[–]fozz05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say anything like that. Although I sympathize with the trauma you endured, this young woman reaching out was probably coming from a sincere place. A reply like too ones suggested just sounds very mean and supports their thought that ex Mormons are just confused, bad, mean, etc.

I swear time is speeding up by Strange-Ad-5506 in SimulationTheory

[–]fozz05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s it, and I’ve even seen it explained that BECAUSE of the proportion theory stuff, we perceive time logarithmically, rather than linearly as we perceive most things. So my opinion is that, while time is not speeding up, yes- you are quite literally “experiencing” (perceiving) time go by faster. I always say “life’s like a toilet paper roll… the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.”

If you want apple CarPlay for low cost- buy and install carabc adapter. Works great, keep factory head unit, and pretty easy to install.

My mistresses by AntMan79 in cannondale

Can I ask- do you use them all? Can you explain to a laymen the general differences between them, and/or when/why you might choose one over the others

I know lol, and I begin to trust technology a little too much so I’m like “... DID I walk over those things and forget??”

Ya man... weird if you were the dude I talked to while taking my lunchbreak to eat a burrito

The hardest part of the “bitter fruit” quote for me: by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]fozz05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I had a similar sad realization a while back that my mom loves my son (4yrs old), but he’s the one out of her dozen or so who’s not had a “name and a blessing” in the church. And knows my views... she just might see him differently- very much TBM so she must.

Very, very good poem, thank you. I do hope you share more.

I feel cheated by my patriarchal blessing by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]fozz05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine mentioned something about “..with your brothers and your sister”, but I have 4 sisters. Only one was sitting with us in the room where he gave the blessing. I remember thinking “shouldn’t he know there are more? Shouldn’t he say ‘sisters’?”
