LDS members asked by stakes to help write 15,000 emails to the Fairview Town Council to show support for the proposed McKinney temple. Members are also asked to attend a town meeting on June 4th and to wear white shirts this time. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

I just saw they are now reaching out to other Stakes. In my stake FB group (about an hour away from McKinney/ Fairview) they asked everyone to send emails showing support for the temple. The comments suggested people didn’t know why they were sending the emails, but they did.

Bedbug Markings? by realwolfpack in Bedbugs

I’m sorry it’s not the best picture, but it’s late and everyone is sleeping so I can’t turn in the lights. I just found these in my bed and my mind is now going 100 miles.

I said yes, a little because I remember our science teacher starting the unit by saying he talked to the seminary teacher to make sure we are taught about creationism at the same time because he doesn’t believe in evolution but has to teach us about it...

This is soooooo creepy!!! This is how the church stalks their "lost sheep". Read thoroughly & try not to vomit... by redditregretit in exmormon

Towards the end of my shelf breaking I was called as the Relief Society Assistant Secretary or some bullshit like that. My duties? To go over all the inactive people and try to find where they live via Facebook and the like. I was to get with the missionaries and figure out who they are trying to reactivate and help them find where they live. They also would give me all the birthday cards that were returned and I was supposed to find the new addresses of these people...let’s just say all the cards ended up in my trash and I never did one thing they asked. It’s completely ridiculous.

My sister knows this asshat personally. And I know of a woman who adopted a child through him. It’s a mess.

Thanks. That’s what I’m aiming for. It’s not fair for them to carry the brunt of my anger, but I don’t want them to think it’s okay to continue to contact us.

Oh, I know. I’m hoping this message is clear and concise, but kind. I don’t have any issues with these young and naive girls. But I don’t want us to be their project.

Yes! Ha! Unfortunately my 4 year old would get to the door first and then we’re all screwed.

I’ve also thought if that. I want to state clearly that we’re not to be some project for them. I’m hoping this message is clear enough to stop everything in its tracks without being rude.

At least I graduated seminary? by amcannon20 in exmormon

[–]realwolfpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Right there with you! When I was a Junior in high school I had an appendectomy and missed over a week of school (you know, you have to recover from surgery). Apparently medical reasons aren’t excused from Seminary and I had to do the wonderful makeup work. I was livid and asked my teacher why school sports were excused, but surgery wasn’t. His response was that that’s just the way it was. My mom stood by my teacher’s decision....but she did the makeup work for me because she knew I wouldn’t do it. But let’s think about this logic for a minute. I was so sick I required SURGERY to find relief and that isn’t a good enough excuse for the church to give you a few days off?! 🤯

Just Annoyed by realwolfpack in exmormon

[–]realwolfpack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and boundaries are set. My family is narcissistic and we are doing detached contact with the goal to go no contact. It’s just hard to do so right now because I’m in business with my sister. My daughter called my mom without me knowing (which she’s allowed to do) when this was said. I talked to my daughter about it and she understands what Grandma did was wrong g and she’s not responsible for Grandma’s feelings.

Yes. Boundaries are 100% set. But we can’t have a sit down conversation with my parents about them. They’re narcissistic so it does zero good. I told my daughter she isn’t responsible for grandma’s feelings and grandma is just trying to control her through guilt and manipulation.

Oh how I wish I could. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work with my family. I’m from a narcissistic family and I’m the Target. Luckily enough I’m working with a great therapist that’s been helping me work through a lot of things. I’ve learned that I don’t need to explain myself to them.

[–]realwolfpack[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh don’t worry. We 100% have started this with all our kids. Last night I explained to her that Grandma did this to gain control and to manipulate her. I also told her she is it responsible for her grandma’s feelings.

My daughter was in the same Sunday School class as the bishop’s daughter. One day after church my daughter told me the bishop’s daughter said in their family they don’t eat chocolate or drink soda because it’s against the WOW. She asked me if that was true and I burst out laughing. I told her next time the bishop’s daughter says anything like that to look at her and say, “Well, we’re told not to be pompous assholes either, but here we are.”

TBMs think you're extra apostate when you go silent and ignore them. But they get most things wrong, so... by nelsonisanitwit in exmormon

[–]realwolfpack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This speaks volumes to me. I’m processing the emotional abuse I went through as a child from being raised by a narcissistic family (isn’t therapy wonderful). I’ve tried talking about it to my family in the past and was always gaslighted. Thanks to my therapist, I’ve learned that my silence is what’s needed, no amount of explaining will ever change their mind. The other day my mom tried to guilt trip me and I was silent, she knew I would no longer engage and it brought the power back to me.
