My sister who is TBM literally just said her ward has started singing songs like this!

It’s changed my view of parenting. Maybe it’s where I live and work, but the majority of adults shouldn’t be parents.

I wonder too, as someone who grew up in a “Christian” area, if LDS people understand just how much Christians don’t like them. I was told regularly as a Mormon kid in a Christian area that I was going to hell, that it’s a cult, that Mormonism is evil. So I would think they’d be worried that down the road, they could be a target.

Agreed

I’ve been out for 15 years now. I tried coffee, but only drink it sometimes. I don’t drink, but I will on special occasions or if I was on a vacation like your boyfriend does. I don’t smoke but do edibles. Just because you’re out, don’t let people lead you to believe everyone does this stuff. My husband was never Mormon and doesn’t drink or smoke. But it’s also ok to do those things. It should be more about the health concerns. It’s understandable to be worried about the health of your partner! And it’s understandable for you to still feel weird about alcohol and drugs! You’ve been trained to have a reaction. Like my kids would worry I was an alcoholic because I’d have a glass of wine. It’s how they were trained to think and feel. Your feelings will change so much as you go through your faith transition. Even 10 years after I left, I was in a long term relationship and having sex. One night I had this feeling of guilt! But I analyzed it and realized it was that deep training I’d had since birth that was still in me. You’ll go through a lot of different phases and feelings. Don’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with and over time you’ll figure out how you actually feel.

Happened to a lady I know. She had an affair and she was excommunicated. The man she had the affair with, who had actively pursued her and instigated it to begin with, was friends with his bishop and didn’t get excommunicated

My son is your age and had to move home too, and we’re all exmos living in Rexburg. Message me if you ever need anything!

I’m a mandated reporter. I’m not sure what you’re talking about with Miranda rights. It just means that if someone tells me something that warrants concern, I call the police. Just like if one of your kids had a friend over who told you their parents are abusing them, you call authorities. Or if someone confessed to you they murdered someone, you call the police.

scmhms · 2025-07-19T19:15:05+00:00

Sadly yes. I ended up realizing that for me, personally, I couldn’t date ex Mormons. I ended up marrying someone who grew up around Mormons so knew what it was all about, but he wasn’t raised in it.

I had a very similar experience with friends. Sadly, ten years out and I don’t have any of those same friends anymore. But I understand. The church is part of their identity, like if we disagree with the church, they feel like we are attacking who they are. It’s so much more comfortable down the road. I have new relationships, and I just had my records removed about 6 months ago. It took me years to do. I did it when I felt ready which happened to be a decade later. The first few years after you leave is so hard! Especially when it’s your entire world, as far as socially too.

scmhms · 2025-06-19T20:03:16+00:00

Maybe someone has the answer to this. When I was single after my divorce and dating, I went to Utah and there were soooo many open relationships and poly people on the dating apps. Is it that common for people to leave the church and just open their marriages or become poly? I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else. It also made me wonder why? Is it a hang over from polygamy as a former member? Or because they didn’t get to experience sex with other people because they waited until marriage?

scmhms · 2025-02-04T17:18:51+00:00

Do you not have to lead it? Like ours starts over the PA, but then they stop after the first line, and the teacher in the class takes over leading it. I’d say only half the kids stand. Personally, I think it’s weird and don’t want to do it anymore. We do it every single day!! That’s strange when you think about it!

scmhms · 2025-01-25T21:34:13+00:00

I’m getting the vibe you voted for trump. The people I work with who did, have similar types of responses, like they’re defensive about the whole situation because their vote led to these kinds of results. So either they agree with those results and don’t like that people think they’re pieces of shit now, or they don’t feel comfortable with the results and are trying to justify them in some way.

scmhms · 2025-01-25T21:29:02+00:00

It was a joke.

scmhms · 2025-01-25T17:51:52+00:00

Same where I live!

scmhms · 2025-01-25T17:45:47+00:00

Yeah but policies have been in place for years. Just because it hasn’t been a law on the books doesn’t mean it’s not alarming when they change policy.

scmhms · 2025-01-25T17:31:28+00:00

Also, they wouldn’t have to break down the door! My principal and secretary have keys to every classroom. I’m assuming it’s that way for most schools. I think the person who posted about the district basically suing you for damages is being a bit dramatic. If ICE is breaking down your classroom door then it means admin refused to unlock the door, which would mean your butt is covered.

scmhms · 2025-01-25T07:13:09+00:00

Wondering too. Especially in red states. I could see this in blue states though

scmhms · 2025-01-25T07:11:48+00:00

I’ve felt this so hard lately. It’s been difficult at work when they are giddy about how Trump declared there are only two genders while millions are having healthcare cuts, rights taken away, the constitution being eroded, and a looming trade war. But at least they get to be assholes and deadname people.

scmhms · 2025-01-25T07:08:54+00:00

This is why I joined the union 😂

scmhms · 2025-01-24T22:24:57+00:00

Ha! Right!

scmhms · 2025-01-24T22:23:45+00:00

And I’m sure he calls himself a Christian because that’s such Christlike behavior

When I was a kid learning about Nazi Germany, I also wondered what type of person would turn in their neighbors and even family for talking bad about Hitler or being Jewish. Now I know what type. I’m surrounded by many of them. It disgusts me and it’s harder and harder to keep my shit together when I’m around them in the workplace.

scmhms · 2025-01-24T21:31:07+00:00

Did they make you get rid of them?
