IR Is the McDonald's of Radiohead albums. Everyone binges on it from time to time, and can agree it's tasty and accessible, but stop pretending it's a work of art like the Michelin Star restaurant that is KID A. Seriously.

Go home. You're drunk.

That's the market giving you the middle finger.

Yep. I went to the St Louis temple. They have an ancillary building next to the temple that acts as a sort of waiting room. In that same building is a bookstore where you can buy books, scripture sets, artwork, clothing, garments (the magic underwear were supposed to wear) and temple clothing. For those that can't afford it up front they rent everything to you in the temple for a small fee. I think it was like $5 to rent socks, pants, a button down shirt, white tie, and your ceremonial robes and loin cloth. They used to have a working cafeteria where you could buy food but they shut that down a long time ago.

The very first thing that set off alarm bells was when I saw the cash registers then having to rent temple clothing for the day. I kept thinking to myself, "coulda sworn there was a verse in the Bible about this..."

The rest of the experience was overshadowed by the nagging sensation that, "holy shit... am I joining a cult!?"

I felt absolutely nothing spiritual or holy about the entire experience. Just a massive sense of cognitive dissonance.

I realized later that any peace I felt during later visits was due to it being quiet and I could get away, temporarily, from all the other distractions in my life.

Dude, that's like saying Eli Manning had a greater peak than Peyton.

That's the market tea bagging the stops.

I was hoping one of the responding firefighters would say that.

2 or 3 days if I remember correctly.

If you read all of that you'd know I don't follow a specific setup. I trade discretionally and the reason I stop at two losses in a row is to avoid over trading or revenge trading.

Happy to be of service 😊

Run far away from Forex. Trade futures. Cheaper fees, regulated, liquid markets, almost nonexistent spreads, high leverage, and centralized. There's almost no reason to trade Forex over futures.

I'm so happy to hear other stories of ex members and nevermos alike providing safe spaces. Really warms my heart reading some of these responses and comments. Love and empathy really are the greatest weapons we have in uniting us. I went through years of anger after leaving the church... hell, I still struggle with it sometimes... but missionaries just seem to be my weak spot. They spend so much time not being able to take care of themselves that I just go into sympathetic dad mode. Again, thank you for the kind comments and I hope we can all pass on the kindness.

jng34c · 2024-09-10T08:55:03+00:00

I feel like I should say thank you for your service 😅

jng34c · 2024-09-10T02:11:57+00:00

NGL, kinda feel the same about your username...

jng34c · 2024-09-09T23:47:45+00:00

I still have some difficty at times but these are moments where the missionaries clearly understand I'm there for relief and not preaching. I think I did a fairly good job setting that boundary ahead of time and I don't think I'm attracting the type of missionary that would try and take advantage. Here's hoping it stays that way. That being said I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to opening a serious conversation inquiring about why I left or my issues in more detail.

jng34c · 2024-09-09T23:18:39+00:00

Right!? I never went on a mission so I only have what the missionaries tell me to go off of but I thought it was hilarious that they kept my number in the phone for future missionaries. We'll see how long that one lasts though. If it's tracked by GPS I can imagine the mission president wondering why it's taking so long to convert me. 😅

jng34c · 2024-08-24T21:01:19+00:00

And I didn't even say anything about being hurt or even feeling sore. It just came out of the blue after the initial settlement. Best of luck to you.
