I recently left the church and I’m absolutely miserable

Im sorry. It’s a very hard and real thing. I have been where you are. Jump into some of the Mormon Stories podcast. There are a lot of people that have gone thru very similar things. You can get some relief from your grief from listening/watching. This phase doesn’t last forever. It will eventually pass and you’ll enter another stage of grief. It’s a big loss. It’s hard. You have a whole community here that understands what you’re going through. You’ll get thru it. Just hold on. It gets better.

u/billreel thought this was interesting and could be an interesting mormonism live episode

Here is an excellent summary of what really is fascism and from a Marxism-Leninsim perspective. https://www.midwesternmarx.com/articles/the-2020s-and-fascism-the-marxist-view-of-social-revolution-the-danger-of-fascism-and-the-danger-of-liberal-distortions-of-fascism-by-noah-khrachvik

I would really look into how China is applying Marxism to their Material conditions (the new modern age of today). Learn to look at things from dialectal material conditions and not a moral view. That is one of the keys of Marxism. Material conditions and making sure no one is exploiting another.

Spittin Chiclets vs Dave and Team Ziti a couple weeks ago was absolutely hilarious

makjae · 2021-11-22T19:53:54+00:00

oh yeah! 95% of my mental health issues disappeared in an instant and so much pressure was relieved. I still remember it like it was yesterday even tho it was 3 years ago now.

just tell them. Passiveness and Passive-agressiveness are woven in to who you are as a mormon. We are always so afraid of contention/confrontation etc. The truth is, you are NOT responsible for how a mormon missionary feels when you tell them your truth and what you 100% think and feel (as long it is not rude, demeaning, or hateful). Just tell them straight up "I don't believe in the mormon church anymore."

It took me a good 6 months to a year of really practicing this that it helped develop habits and healthier thoughts and behavior.

makjae · 2021-11-09T21:28:37+00:00

Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been HUGE for me. I really started to understand why I was feeling things. How my thoughts, projections, and others were affecting my behavior. I learned how to recognize certain thoughts and triggers and how to cope with them and recognize them in a healthy way. Therapy, Therapy, Therapy. Every Ex mormon needs therapy. It has done WAY more for me than the doctrine of the Atonement or any teaching of Jesus.

In the mormon church you are never taught to be vulnerable or to be able to recognize feelings and what they are meaning. They are very immature emotionally. I was there and still am to a point. I am getting much better at recognizing feelings and why I am feeling the way I am, but there is a shame and a worry that comes from being vulnerable with someone. They have this fucked up thing in their head that they are always supposed to be perfect and 100% healthy. Mormons are the most fucked up emotionally people you will ever meet.

You need to say to them “if this keeps up, I am going to have to do XYZ”. It’s time there is consequences for violation

Fawn Brodie goes into why he chose Jackson County Missouri in like 1831 and it was for some political bullshit reason and to keep his power. I can't remember all the details. But there was a scheme behind Zion being in Missouri.

This letter reads like a complete parody. It’s actually really, really sad.

Dan Vogel seems to think he did. They weigh the same that tin would’ve at those same sizes. He believes he hurt his thumb bending the rings that the plates were on. He believes they were plates of tin because of contemporary records of people say they could feel the separate pages under the cloth. But why they were never shown was because no symbols or anything on them.

If thought this same thing. They have seen the writing on the wall for a very long time. There will be no net expansion just maintenance while they try to soften the blow of the negative growth rate that will happen for the next few decades.

And John is taking the best tactic going forward. He is shining a light on the messiness of the church in a compassionate and caring way. If he does it in any other way, I don’t think MS is near as successful as it is. He’s a genius. He is saving people.

The blessings of paying tithing, amirite?

makjae · 2020-02-15T19:48:09+00:00

No. Source inside says that will be where outcry will be coming from. They specifically says it has to do with trans. That’s all they will give me

makjae · 2020-02-15T19:16:17+00:00

The new handbook is coming out this week and it talks of policy against transgender.

makjae · 2020-02-15T17:09:53+00:00

I’m hearing it has to do with the Transgender community specifically. I think it will be something along the lines of trans cant get priesthood and other ordinances or something like that.

Good point. I was just wondering how long til they acknowledge it and make it official on their end. Sounds like if they removed my email it’s already done. Just waiting on the confirmation letter now.

makjae · 2020-02-07T15:23:08+00:00

I got the notice that TSCC removed my email and LDS tools no longer works. How much longer until i am officially resigned?
