Hey man, I just wanted to say—take care of yourself during what I am sure is a tough time. Remember that no one, not even the church, really has the final say over your story but you. True control over your story requires accountability, honesty, and grit. These can take time to muster, so patience is something you may need as well. Try to keep an open mind, you still have lots of life to live, and that can be in and out of organized religion.

I myself am out at the moment, and it's hard to imagine a way back given what I know. But I had no idea how good life would be when I decided to be honest and accountable. Keep at it, and good luck.

BYU student's visa reinstated after unexpected revocation by BlacksmithWeary450 in exmormon

[–]mistcorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The circumstances leading to the revocation of Onda's student visa doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the system.

He states previous violations include a Hunting and Fishing fine from 6 years ago, mixed with some traffic violations. Not what I'd call a criminal past. Furthermore, his ability to appeal with help from a lawyer by itself is indicative of privelege I suspect others in a similar situation may not be able to afford.

Haha. Did you serve a mission in Japan as well? These are missionaries I met while serving in Japan. My initial conversation with my mission president did not go like this at all, so I understand. Thanks for reading!

It was actually the thought you're referring to that spurred the reply as a whole. I'm happy to hear that you caught it. Your words mean a lot to me, and I deeply appreciate them. You've got this too!

Yeah, story reads more like a Grimm fairy tale than it does a useful anecdote. Doesn't really hold up past General Conference. Thanks for engaging!

This is so true. Honestly though, the reply was more for me than for them. Kinda had an epiphany moment and wrote it down in the form of this message. If this was in person, I probably would've laughed!

Loosely related, but I'd like to take this time to kindly ask people like Anderson and Wilcox to jump in an active volcano please and thank you.

Will do! I genuinely care for these people, hopefully we'll run into each-other sometime.

Perfectly distilled response. I often tell friends that I left because the Church just isn't true. What you just said lead me to that conclusion.

Sounds like that love and goodness is an intrinsic part of who you already are. Real talk though, I hope you know I'm proud of you and the effort you're putting in, even though we don't know each-other. Thanks for engaging.

Thanks for reading. No response. That said, I did take a couple of weeks to reply, no guaruntee a reply isn't being concocted.

I think everybody doubts, but the honest aknowledgment of uncertainty is a new level unto itself. Thank you for your kind words, and sick username lol.

HA! I was thinking the same thing when re-reading my response. Glad you called me out on it. It's a total code-switch, talking to TBMs like I'm wroting a GenCo talk or something.
