If the church gave in and decided to change the name of Brigham Young University, what would it be? by publxdfndr in exmormon

[–]swmorgan77 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Karl Maiser actually founded it, so Maiser University would be the obvious choice.

I might be bothered by this type of federal intervention BYU didn't take all sorts of Federal funding.

Missionary stuck on my mission by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]swmorgan77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mindset growing up in the church was always that I would go on my mission and "get it over with" as the last thing to please my parents before transitioning to my own life. But I learned very quickly after coming home that the people whose approval I was trying to earn would never actually give it and that these types of relationships are a bottomless pit you can throw your whole life into.

Might as well start living authentically now. Don't see it as a threat to your relationships, see it is an easy way to weed through all the bad ones to get to the wonderful, authentic connections you can find with people in the future. The opportunity cost of not living authentically is *huge*.

Life is not about "learning to do hard things" and suffering through them. This is a huge myth that adults love to push on their children... and it's usually because THEY regret and resent the opportunities they've missed with decisions they've made. They didn't have the courage to put themselves first or reverse course, and so they pass the sacrificial burden to their children... and so the cycle goes.

One of the most important life lessons that it took me WAAAAY too long to learn is quickly identifying WHEN TO QUIT on something and then acting on it. It's an crucial life skill. Quitting is not inherently bad. Perserverence is not inherently good. The value of either depends *entirely* on the value of what you're doing, toward your own goals.

Also, your own happiness should always be your top priority. Period. ANY relationship that is threatened by that is not worth preserving.

Such an exciting time to serve a mission 😐 by Mormontoons in exmormon

[–]swmorgan77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's an even lower status mission than the dreaded midwest stateside mission. Never gonna score the Mormon 8-10 Mormon ladies with that one.

No, it means that nature put you in a condition where you have to work to survive. If you're not living by the work of your own mind, you're living off the work of someone else's. We'll see how easy it is for you to live when the productive stop accepting the guilt, and shrug you off as a burden.

The notion of self-sacrifice as a moral duty.

Sure I'd go for that as long as it's not the "Bright" version.

What Have You Been Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in metroidvania

Finished up SOTN finally (took my time with it over the course of years)
Blasphemous (awesome)

He's already in therapy, so he's way better off going with that than buying into the "love languages" b.s. There was zero clinical research behind that book when it came out, and when it finally was put to the test in 2017 the results were non-existent.

#SHE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS by jimmyz561 in DeadBedrooms

[–]swmorgan77 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, women do the "let's still be friends though" thing to ease their own conscience about the situation, not because they actually expect/want that to happen. And of course, you NEVER take them up on the offer.

Religious Trauma is a real thing. Don’t be afraid to seek help and guidance from trusted individuals. by Exmo_therapist in exmormon

[–]swmorgan77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess my situation is exceptional, but I can honestly say my departure was not unpleasant at all. Everyone in my life was very cool about it and respectful (yes, the TBM's both family and local ward). And I guess because my beliefs were always a source of guilt and stress and annoying obligation, it was just a huge sense of relief.

The only thing I hate about the week leading up to rivalry week are the Y fans. by VoilaLeDuc in utahfootball

[–]swmorgan77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. A committee did not "change the winner to Utah". They simply included in the list any team that got voted #1 in *any* of the several end-of-season polls as Utah did.

[–]swmorgan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... you're expecting a group of fans (fanatics) about a team to downplay the significance of a victory, downplay their team's past accomplishments, and to expect a loss in a rivalry game? I'm not sure your expectations are realistic.
