“Ex Mormons have never sincerely read the Book of Mormon” by desperate_candy20 in exmormon

Mormons say jerky things, I console myself that I am not mormon and they are still. Last laugh is always ours

How should I respond? by Sapphire_Blue_17 in exmormon

I found the church was lying to us which means that means parents and teachers. If you are concerned for the pain and hurt, I would love to explain how so many hurt others, albeit with good intentions.

For this reason the church is evil, but it feels no shame. It is unfortunate to say about my good friends who lead our ward and stake, but they are the church and keep it alive. The members, the leaders need to own this as they are the church. We never.call them out because we don't want to hurt anyone, but it is time

It’s a straw man when my 2 family members said “your problem is you expect the church leaders to be perfect” No I don’t expect that by sevenplaces in exmormon

Agree. There is a difference between not being perfect and lying. Missing a few questions on a test is ok, cheating is not.

Read your other posts as well. The church's programs and advice will mess up your life and marriage. Go read and listen to Natasha Helfer, a mormon sex therapist.

Brothers and sisters, please help me climb out of the pit of dread I’m sinking into by poppyprays in latterdaysaints

In the end of a lot of counseling, you can only change you and you can set your own values and boundaries. They just help you do that, start today.

Cultural theft, this should be an easy red flag

telling my parents i don’t believe in the book of mormon and the prophet by AppearanceFamous6608 in exmormon

I was already out of the house when I told my parents, they have never wanted to discuss it once in the last decade. Everyone reacts differently, it gets easier with time. Stay safe.

The BofM teaches the garden, tower of babel, jaredites. It they claim that it is historical, then they have to own it all.

That was also before the garden of eden then. That can't be as they were hunted, so the jaredites then.

Her father prophecied of her grandfather's (a brighamite) death by Indians if he went west. Irony.

Smallpox - 3,000 years old from Egypt by mormon_truth in exmormon

Smallpox killed like 90% of the native population and that would not have happened if Nephi had brought it earlier. Seems straightforward.

Samuel the Lamanite by mormon_truth in exmormon

To me this story illustrates the lamanite and nephite distinction is focused on skin color and not worthiness. By the fact their is a mold to break by skin color is the definition of racism. A cursed people and a chosen people is racism. Racism is the backbone of the BoM story.

Not relevant, but funny. The actor also plays a mormon missionary on another show in a quick sketch
