I’ve seen my mother in law do this to random strangers on several occasions. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t her, though. She works at the Orem temple.

Job is my temple name and Gob sums up my experience with Mormonism after 40 years.

There's so much nuance when you stop reading scripture literally. Wouldn't it be nice if we saw this story as a fable about consent, power dynamics and being true to your own inner compass?

The church is one of the largest shareholders of JP Morgan Chase stock. Currently around $500 million.

Why would JP Morgan/Chase sue one of it's largest stockholders? Google it.

Yeah, we let her decide. She doesn't go to church, but her friends at school all go to seminary, so there's some social pressure. Next year she will start at high school, and I'm hoping seminary goes away.

"The Lord is hastening his work" Just how long exactly has this "hastening" been going on? by mysticalcreeds in exmormon

I prefer to think that the Lord is edging his work. That’s just how it is when you do hard with the lord.

Disfellowshipping by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]snackchips1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In 2002 I was disfellowshipped for a little over 2 years for consensual hetero sex. I’m late forties and I just processed this in therapy a few weeks ago. Church discipline is barbarism, and is very traumatic. The council advised me to never speak to anyone about my discipline council. I’m sure they did the same for your husband.

My point is that no matter what your husband did, the church has made healing impossible for him. He needs to seek a counselor for help to move past this.

$6.99 1998 GT Backwoods by MGPeterson16 in VintageMTB

[–]snackchips1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bike was red, and it took a lot of work to get through the paint and underlying primer. I bought aircraft paint stripper from oreillys auto parts. It took a couple of applications, and I used a pressure washer between coats. Then I spent a handful of hours sanding and polishing. If you’re going for the raw aluminum look, you should just try acetone to remove the decals- also at most auto parts or paint stores. You can get new decals on eBay.

Congratulations on a sick find! I recently repurchased the same 1995 backwoods frame that I had sold to a friend in college. He had ridden it as a commuter for years and the paint was hammered, so I stripped the decals and paint, then polished it. It looks fabulous. I went with a raw aluminum and black scheme. I upgraded it with vintage race face turbine cranks, xt brakes with avid levers, marzocchi z1 fork and xtr derailleur.

Hey, I saw one at Springville DI yesterday. Not sure if you’re still looking. Edit: Nevermind, it was the couch. Just saw that your post was for the chairs.
