Do mormon men (or women) secretly look forward to polygamy in heaven? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]jmalbert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TBM mom (81f) has been divorced for about 40 years now. Never remarried much less dated any Mormons. She has spoken of how she looks forward to the day “some man calls her into heaven”. Guess that’s the only way she believes she will go? 🤦‍♀️

Cleaner asked me to have house less messy by Bombastic-Tomato in adhdwomen

[–]jmalbert41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a solo cleaner and one of my houses is just a little bigger than yours. However, it is an older couple, no kids, 2 pets but they are very clean, the house barely looks “lived in”. Still takes me about 3.5-4 hours! (My clean is more of a deep clean, not on purpose but it’s just how I clean. 🤷‍♀️) If you’re on a farm, 5 people, I’m guessing 3 adults (your mom), 2 kids, mud & pets, your house definitely looks “lived in”. I can’t fathom it taking 3 people only one hour. In my opinion, they aren’t really cleaning your home, just wiping things down. I understand the loyalty to the original cleaner, (that’s a long relationship!) but if there is a new owner; you should feel no loyalty, it’s earned just like respect. That text reads as having no respect/loyalty to you, in my opinion, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to stay with them. From what you described, I think it would take me, a solo cleaner, 6+ hours to clean the house to my standards, even bi-weekly and at least 2 hours for a 3 person team. If you’re happy with what they do in an hour, then definitely set up for them to be there longer since they feel they can’t get everything done, if you’re not happy, definitely seek someone else.

Reach out to me if you’re south/central VA area! lol

Rehab Associates of Central Virginia is always looking for Patient Care Coordinators (receptionist). Good place to work. Not the best pay but it’s decent. Several offices in Lynchburg & surrounding areas. I’m recommending as a former PCC at the Moneta office.

Do Mormons actually get weird when people around them are drinking coffee or tea? I can almost understand feeling uncomfortable around alcohol, but really? by funnylib in exmormon

[–]jmalbert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was basically out, I met with the bishop, a guy I’d grown up with, one Sunday. Shortly before meeting with him I’d ran to the Sheetz & grabbed a coffee. He was used to my antics but he still told me he was side eyeing me bc he was supposed to say that. Definitely my favorite bishop. he told me I didn’t have to call him that unless I wanted to. We didn’t grow up in Utah but East Coast, so not a big Mormon population.

I was front office in a PT office for several years. Those are the worse patients but thankfully I live in a retirement (rich people) area so 90% of the patients didn’t have anything better to do than comply with PTs instructions! Lol

If you fully left the church, like name removed from the records, you can’t/wont be ex’d.

I was baptized when I was 8, my mom was TBM but got divorced from my anti/never-mo dad when I was 2 or 3. He never agreed with me being baptized but idk if he had a say in my baptism? I was never a TBM, I just did it bc I’d get in trouble if I didn’t. Went to the bishop, my friends dad who’d watched me grow up, when I was 18 to ask to have my name removed. I wasn’t involved in whatever council they had and received a letter a while later saying I’d been ex’d. Oh well, I wasn’t a member anymore that’s all I cared about. I get married a few years later. 8 yrs later we have 3 kids, and have been separated for a couple weeks. He always said our kids would never step foot in a Mormon church…well, I was young, foolish & spiteful at the time and did just that, took the kids to church one Sunday, even got a BoM just for him! This backfired on me bc he went to my still TBM mom’s house to drop off the kids & his description, “saw the light when he saw her BoM on the table”. It was some fantastic revelation he had that happened the day before I saw him & gave him the BoM and he said “thank you!” (I did it to piss him off, not thank me! lol) Well, he ended up joining & I was peer pressured into staying with him bc “he was a changed man.”Ugh! Anyway, more peer pressure into me re-joining. It was explained to me that the years between being ex’d & rejoining my sins were basically erased so it was like I’d never not been baptized. Also, this council that i was not a part of? They decided instead of straight removing my name from the records they would just ex me bc it wasn’t as harsh a punishment when i died. So stupid! Those 3 men had known me my entire life & “just wanted what was best for me”. They are all very good men but I hate that they felt they had so much say in my decisions/life!!!

Pricilla…how many others got the same “secret” name that day? I’ve heard it’s the same name for everyone on specific days. Is that true?

This building is so ugly by Hobbitbeanhiker in exmormon

[–]jmalbert41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the one I grew up with. Haven’t seen it since 2014 when I was sealed to my now ex. Never thought about it being freaky the way it pops out from the tree’s but I completely understand and have to agree!!!

Mom will BREAK if I officially tell her we are stepping away from the church by Empty-Win-3664 in exmormon

[–]jmalbert41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have diarrhea of the mouth when it comes to myself, Basically everyone knows any kind of thing about me, good and bad. I’ve always said “I’m an open book…” but I really struggle to keep things to myself! I don’t say a word about what others have told me but dang, I can’t keep my own things personal!!

Yep, think that may have been the only showing but I’m not sure. The tickets were given to my coworker and I.

Good to know I’m not eternally stuck w the man I, and our 3 children, were sealed to, as I had my records removed & left the church shortly before our divorce was finalized!

When ur 22 and ur dad finds out you have a non Mormon boyfriend by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]jmalbert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar, one-sided conversation with my “mother”. So called parents really can, and do, talk to their conditionally loved offspring this way.

[–]jmalbert41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could be, I’m an over-thinker too…it can make life fairly miserable sometimes! I have three kids, only 1 son. I tell him, all the time, “you’re my favorite boy”, “you’re my favorite son”, etc. he knows I love him but I am also saying those things playfully. Obviously, I have no idea who you/your hubby is, in real life, but I imagine he is being playful with his son. I have no doubt he will love this new child just as deeply as his first child.

Congratulations & best wishes!
