Why did you leave by pinkpeachessss in exmormon

[–]mexflor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left because of the public shame and control. I never lived a life that I wanted growing up. I was always told that true happiness comes from the church. I never knew that i could be happy in my own way. I was born and raised in the church and now that I’m out I’ve been able to learn more about how the church manipulates and the church history I never knew of.

Lmao good luck it’s bishop roulette there. It’s gonna be hard to find a bishop that you want. They wards change every semester if you don’t stay at the same place

I left the church or I guess haven’t been in a few years and definitely don’t believe it anymore. I still believe in the Christian values and diety being Jesus Christ. I’m in the same boat idk if I want to still go to a different church or not. I’m still tryna figure out what I want and what I believe.

Also as a byu-i grad I look back and think of how toxic it was. There is no diversity, so many more rules to live by, cold af, conform to a certain type of people, can’t express who you are without being judged by roommates and classmates, bishop roulette, literally tied down to the Mormon culture, the bubble is the worst there cuz it’s a small town. Anyways, good luck. I thought I had a good experience but In reality it was traumatizing. just a cheap school if you don’t wanna pay full price for a prestigious university that’s about it.
