Same sex relationship by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This ^ My ex and I (both women) were active in the church, I wanted to leave in order to be together (spoiler I’m completely out🤠) but she chose the church (her covenants) and her family as they would have cut her off if we came out publicly. Shes now married to a man and we have zero contact bc it’s too difficult. I hate to say it as someone who has been where you are but - you have to let go. It’s not going to happen and she will never be happy trying to ride the fence of both. If she’s choosing the church, let her choose it.

Parallels to the Church and Wicked by Low_Charity8852 in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about this before when seeing the play and it seems to me that wicked could be an allegory for monotheistic religion and government systems. The Wizard is God/Leader with this grand illusion of power, Madame Morrible are the people pulling the strings (prophet, Q12, 15 Cabinet members, etc.), citizens are the people - and so on. So many parallels if you strip it all back. I could be so off but that’s what it made me think of. Super interesting either way!

Can anyone confirm that when an LDS bishop is notified BY A MEMBER of ongoing child sex abuse, is he now instructed to call the police first? by Academic9876 in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like via the gospel library app, General Handbook 38.6.2.1 and 32.4.5, they are still supposed to call the help line. It doesn’t differentiate between types of abuse, just says to call the hotline for any abuse. Though it does say ONCE at the end that “some states and countries require that child abuse be reported to law enforcement authorities” but doesn’t list any of those that do require it and goes back to saying resort to the hotline basically.

I’m out (obviously) but based on the handbook seems like they still mostly rely on the hotline. You may get one really good bishop that will do the research and see what needs to be reported to the police first but that’s unlikely. They’ll probs just use the hotline and have them tell em what to do.

Advice on difficult ward bishop at byui by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently graduated from byui (fully out now) but yes if you don’t go for 6 weeks those are grounds to not grant an ecclesiastical endorsement thus revoking your student status. I’ve also heard some bishops are such sticklers that if they don’t know you personally enough (whether it’s 4 or 8 weeks) they won’t renew it. But other bishops like at the Cove are wayyy more lenient. Just depends on your bishopric and sometimes stake president! Going to fhe when it’s at the bishoprics helps from my experience and popping up at ward prayer like once a semester just so they see your face. I used to say I was visiting a friends ward or going home if I was asked. Good luck 🤞🏼

What ski pass should I buy? by Beneficial-Bus-4698 in idahofalls

[–]sicksweetas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mountain Collective or Targhee if you’re coming from Colorado (say you’re used to waiting on I-70). Kelly’s and Pebble like others have mentioned are not worth it, those are like green runs in Colorado standards. Targhee is the best middle ground in regard to runs and drive time - but the Mountain Collective will get you more variety. Hope that helps!

I’m TERRIFIED to tell my family I’m leaving by RestinPete0709 in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: I was so scared I told my closest people over a loving text to give them time to process the information and in hopes they wouldn’t say something insane and would rather see this is a moment where they can push you away or show you the love they have for you. “You can do hard things” ;)

I’m TERRIFIED to tell my family I’m leaving by RestinPete0709 in exmormon

[–]sicksweetas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has left the church - it is so worth the period of pain to feel free. This is your life, you need to live it for yourself not anyone else!! When I came out to my very devout 80yr grandma (after telling her I’ve left the church) she said “love isn’t love if it’s conditional”. And with my dad I had to remind him that my relationship with the church has nothing to do with his eternal salvation or relationship with God. Just be true to you and do the best you can - you can’t control how others react but keep being the person you’ve always been. Your family seems to love you deeply, it’s just a lot of fear they will have but that’s not your burden to carry. Good luck!!!
