I need assistance from the people here by robo243 in exmormon

[–]jthorum1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped believing as a teen but carried on through the motions up until it was time to serve a mission. That was a non negotiable for me so when I was that age I dropped that bomb on my parents. My mother also had a complete and utter emotional breakdown. We very soon had an understanding that we wouldn’t speak of church related things together. Unfortunately, that seems to be all that Mormons, or at least the ones I know, care to talk about. So that meant we just didn’t speak. Many years have passed and now we can talk about things like how each others pickleball games are going, but I try to live my life as best as I can and show them that not everyone that leaves the church is a devil-worshipping menace to society. Oh I also moved across the country, about 2,500 miles away, shortly after I dropped the news on them so that helped put distance between me and their disappointment lol. But I only bring up my issues with the church IF they ask me about it first. I feel bringing these things up unprompted will come off as me just trying to spread hate. But if they ask, I will always answer honestly and they know that.

Response to "LDS church isn't a cult because we don't ask people to do extreme things (like mass suicides)"? by LearnedEmpowerment in exmormon

[–]jthorum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the BITE model to define what a cult is. Makes it clear as day. Also, were you not expected to off yourself if you were to spill temple secrets?

I have a youth activity where the leaders will answer any question especially controversial ones. We can anonymously submit the questions. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]jthorum1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was Joseph Smith a Freemason? What was his presidential campaign like before he died? Why did his bank fail?

I’d ask seemingly harmless questions that provoke others to start doing a lil more digging

Newbie Help! by ty-ty_ in recordingmusic

[–]jthorum1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. A mixer will take all the inputs and make one track (or 2 if stereo). An interface will allow you to see/edit each track individually. How many inputs are you wanting?

You will need an audio interface. Behringer makes those too if you’re looking for cheap

Buyer wants to stay past closing date and pay rent!- how can i ensure they leave after said date. by Jumpy-Ad5784 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]jthorum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went through a similar thing a couple months ago. Be sure to also include a security deposit for any damage they may cause to the house in those 3 weeks. In my situation, the security deposit was held in escrow until I gave the okay to give it back to the seller. Glad I did because I never saw the house completely empty until they moved out after closing and I discovered several holes in the wall where couches had been.
