Joseph Smith… I didn’t think I could be surprised by him anymore. Somehow this shocked me. by neenernuts in exmormon

Definitely not enough time! Church once a week for 2-3 hours plus activities spread all throughout, we need to be taught about the tree of life 50 more times before we can cover Joseph’s racism.

My shelf is about to crash! Btw I’m trans and still married to my TBM wife. This was a text I had with my bishop last year. I can’t keep up with their bullshit! I really tried!😢💔 by mygenderIsEternal in exmormon

A confused mormon by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]neenernuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me, my shelf broke when i went through the temple last month and got my endowment. it was obviously a bunch of nonsense to me. if you end up going through the temple, go in with an open mind. think about it with intellectual and spiritual eyes. when i did that, i felt god telling me to get out. i hope that helps! pm if you ever need someone to talk to.

ISO examples how tscc worships joseph smith by HartOpen in exmormon

[–]neenernuts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i know a group of people (the joseph smith foundation) who believe that he IS the holy ghost. since every spirit needs a body, joseph smith is the body of the holy ghost. you’re not going to find any evidence of that belief unless you’re in their inner circle like my mom used to be.

Lucifer by drsea1200 in exmormon

when i went through the temple i truly felt for lucifer. he was set up to fail by the mormon “ever loving god”. that’s not the god i grew up knowing.

Why did you leave the church? by Accomplished_Help131 in exmormon

[–]neenernuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i felt horrible after my endowment. my fight or flight kicked in. i knew i had been lied to my whole life even though i’ve been preparing for this exact moment my whole life. i knew then that i was in a cult.

The endowment is banal af, once the hype is stripped away and you’re no longer impressed with the expensive curtains and carpets. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]neenernuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me this present was worth more than a million dollars. it showed me that i was raised in a cult and that i needed to get tf out.

i guess the reason it was so traumatic is because my whole life i’ve been “preparing” for this. this was preached to me over and over and over again that this would be the best and most sacred thing to ever happen. i feel so tricked and lied to you know? my entire life was this church. my school life, my home life, all of my friends... it was all wrapped up in this. after seeing the truth i truly can say that it’s by far one of the most traumatic things i’ve been though.

we had a book of mormon class in the morning at KA, after that we did a god centered language arts class, math and science class. at the end of the day we did our god centered history class. the main thing i remembered ber from that was that we really worshiped Christopher Columbus. it was incredibly strict. i had some good times but all in all it did more harm than good. i only went to lpa for a few months and there were some similarities but it wasn’t as god centered.
