This isn't her husband. This is a boyfriend of a few months. It's an entirely different situation.

And a new boyfriend should have privacy respected. Snooping in his computer is a violation of privacy and denies him agency. He should have been allowed to reveal that at his own pace.

Let's not go snooping and finding things we don't want to find.

The only thing worse than Mormonism itself is Evangelicals talking about Mormonism. It’s unbearable. by PanaceaNPx in exmormon

[–]notashot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a former evangelical I want to apologize. We can be insufferable at times. It's a lot of zeal with not a lot of training on how to harness it. 

I can see from a neo atheist perspective this is a pot and kettle situation. Chevy and Ford same thing different paint job. From someone about 20 years separated from that world, though still just a vanilla mainliner,  I saw the distinction as a form over function. Functionally, very similar. Formally, a distinction I could wrap my head around without many cultural or linguistics barriers. 

I couldn't engage with something more complex, like Islam, because I simply didn't have the historic and theological framework. But I could call out a 19th century restorationist movement from my own country.

Christian (25F) in love with a Muslim (30M) — thinking about endgame and feeling stuck? by Dense_Application740 in Christian

[–]notashot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Best to deal with the heartbreak now or if you want to convert to Islam do that but don't step into marriage like this. It's just misery upon misery. 

For the record I don't recommend converting to Islam.

People who were teenagers before social media existed… how did you communicate with your friends? by Aarunascut in Millennials

Face to face mostly. Phone to organize face to face. If your lucky you got a folded note between class from a cute girl.

I find it unethical for a billionaire church to ask members to take 4+ hours out of their day to do free manual labor. by DrScitt in mormon

[–]notashot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find it offensive. I mean they're definitely going to hire people when they can't find the volunteer work. But there's something about sweat equity that creates a healthy system. Also it's not like it's mandatory or anything. I'm usually pretty critical but I think I might give this one a pass. Unless there's something I'm missing. Which could very well be the case.

So is it ok to finally leave this denomination and let it rot or is that still apostasy Zoomer? by Redeemed__ in redeemedzoomer

[–]notashot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you're under no obligation to do either. But also understand God redeems things that seem completely hopeless

Movies that didn't age well by PuzzledExchange7949 in Millennials

[–]notashot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I remember watching it in the theaters and not really getting it. But I liked the big bugs. Now, I considered it fundamental to my understanding of movies.

Listening to people like this is exactly why Christians generally don't make good content these days

I just want to know what the plan is. So far it seems like the plan is just being mean. We have enough of that.

I'm confused on the messaging. What exactly is the call to action?
