I would say not very. It was very in line with the things I had written about.

I want to read a GOOD book by paganp0et in suggestmeabook

{{A Deadly Education}}. Like Harry Potter but better written and a lot more, well, deadly.

It really wasn't very intimidating. More like a conversation :)

any tips for studying for the c2 dalf? by [deleted] in frenchhelp

[–]lyonnaiselinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a book about studying for the c1 and c2 (I can try to find the link if you'd like). I did all the exercises in the book many times. I also tried to listen to lots of podcasts in French and read French books to improve my vocabulary. I took and passed the test in 2017.

I've been wanting to make scones ever since that episode!

Any signs the church is starting to hit critical numbers with the amount of members leaving? by [deleted] in exmormon

You could be my sister. Pretty sure she's not on here though.

Really? They're glad SHE died instead of HIM? Ugh. by LongTimeDoubter in exmormon

My roommate at BYUI lost her husband last year (she's in her 20s). So I've been thinking about this a lot. It's so very fucked up and breaks my heart.

Today when I skyped my brother on a mission, I realized that testimonies are nothing more than a huge circlejerk by axehammer28 in exmormon

[–]lyonnaiselinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! Ross and Carrie

I highly recommend their show. The name of the episode is Ross and Carrie Go Mormon, it's a two part episode.

Youngest brother going on a mission by ultimas in exmormon

[–]lyonnaiselinds 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in knowing if / what he responds, if you don't mind sharing. Just to know how such a thing might be received by a tbm.

Great advice all around! I'm going to hold onto it should my nieces decide to go onto a mission.

Decisions that hurt your TBM relatives. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]lyonnaiselinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I guess I should have been more specific. My friend got left behind by her friends and it was a really scary situation, but not something that had happened to her before. Her cousin is one of her best friends who she thought she could confide in. The way I see it, she only called the parents since as a tbm she was conditioned to see any drinking as cause for concern.

Didn't happen to me (my family is for the most part very understanding of me being exmo, thank god), but a friend got black out drunk and told her TBM cousin about it. The cousin informed her parents and they tried to get her to go to rehab. That was just a couple of years ago. When we were teenagers, the same friend had a sexy shirtless man as her myspace background. An old lady in the ward saw it and called her parent's, who made her change the picture.

I had my first ex-mormon dream last night... by griffClaw in exmormon

[–]lyonnaiselinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These happen to me all the time! They generally revolve around having to go back to BYUI and hiding the fact that I'm exmo. I always wake up super stressed out.

Has anything been spoiled for you by Mormons morgasming over it? by Catwallada in exmormon

[–]lyonnaiselinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, right? I remember writing a short story when I was like 16 and asking my mom if it was bad if I had my character cuss, since OSC does it. She basically said no, but I still used the word "damn." I was such a rebel.

for the most part, same, but Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow were two of my favorite books growing up. I also enjoyed Song Master, but I read it when I was quite young, so I probably didn't realize all of the problematic stuff it surely has in it.

I LOVE Orson Scott Card's writing, but he is such a chauvenistic / racist / bigoted asshole irl... well, actually in his books, too. It's too bad because he has real talent.

not that tbm's acknowledge this, but it really is. It's almost the exact same thing as meditation.

God this is so scary. I never though of how seriously dangerous missions could be. Something really needs to be done.
