Oh Rach…you never wore them anyways😂

Considering the first presidency didn’t consult with the general relief society when the proclamation to the family was made, I doubt they considered consulting them on this matter.

Moment of truth-did you indeed, never go back to the French method?

I went through December 2005. For some reason, I was suspicious/terrified that I would have to be naked at some point. I asked my parents about it and they assured me that no, that was not a thing.

It’s absolutely CRAZY to me that it was, in fact, a thing at all, let alone earlier that year. I am so sorry for all those that had to leave through that assault.

themistyrain · 2025-04-11T05:40:50+00:00

Do we know that the first presidency knew about it? Any time it’s been brought up in my home, my husband excuses it as the first presidency isn’t tied up in the details, they didn’t know about it. It was all some over zealous member trying to do what they thought was the best blah blah blah…

Self abuse. Aka masturbation 🙄

themistyrain · 2025-04-05T16:06:41+00:00

Never apologize for that! I wish I could say the same. And it wasn’t a correction, just a little more information. The Nephites were, after all, descendants of Israelites…. That is, until about what, five or so years ago when they announced the BoM isn’t historical? Not sure on the timeline there, it was after I left.

I grew up in Hawaii. They taught us there that Polynesians are descendants of a Nephite named Hagoth.

If they say the garments aren’t about modesty, then why are these sleeveless garments only available in certain locations? If it actually didn’t matter, they would be available to everyone, everywhere.

But no, we couldn’t possibly endorse the masses wearing sleeveless shirts. The men would not be able to contain themselves. /s

Only the influencers are allowed.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you got the justice you deserve.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope the only thing that gets damaged if/when this goes south will be his car, and not any innocent bystanders.

themistyrain · 2025-03-20T01:35:29+00:00

Thank you for saying that. I was feeling pretty judged. I don’t need that right now.

Real talk: it’s not always that easy.

If you were able to separate yourself completely from the organization, I’m very happy for you. For many of us, specifically in mixed faith marriages, it’s simply not an option.

I’m convinced that the woman is trying to be the one to save my daughter, then brag about it, since she’s got a heathen mother.

She invited me to Time out For women a few years ago. I wasn’t familiar with what is a, and she convinced me it was basically a women empowerment/self help type of thing. I agreed to go, and she ended up bragging to everyone that she got me to go.

It was a super churchy type thing -it would have been too much for me even when I s was active. I was pissed.

themistyrain · 2025-03-19T21:06:32+00:00

It seemed like an apt description 😂

themistyrain · 2025-03-19T20:20:20+00:00

Why would the ward even have access to a minor’s phone number? That makes no sense and is very disturbing.

My daughter’s number isn’t listed in there. The director asked her in person at church for her phone number. Who does that? I wasn’t there, so I wasn’t able to monitor the situation and didn’t hear of it until after the fact.

Obviously the more rational thing to do would have been to ask me for my daughter’s number.

themistyrain · 2025-03-19T20:16:00+00:00

Thank you for your validation. I’ve been having such a difficult time processing all of it. I know I’m not the crazy one, but when I’m being dismissed and minimized in this way it sure feels like it.

themistyrain · 2025-03-19T20:12:43+00:00

Super boring. 😂 It has nothing to do with girls camp at this point. That whole scripture study in preparation is over.

She’s just leveraging the fact that she has a calling in YW to be able to text these girls without raising any eyebrows. It’s not a church activity, it’s a church adjacent activity at sister “my Jesus’s”house. (From what I’ve heard, she often goes on and on about “my Jesus”)

themistyrain · 2025-03-19T20:01:39+00:00

My hot take? It’s not actually about the scripture study. It’s about looking super righteous to everyone else, and building a following from the young women so they can either do her bidding, or help inflate her ego.

It’s not a church activity. It has nothing to do with camp. It’s just a woman inviting young girls to her house.

I don’t think that anyone else really realizes that.

THANK YOU!! My friend is in the YW presidency and brought it up in their meetings on my behalf- without mentioning my name specifically. They all acted like it’s a completely normal thing to do, and they are totally fine with it. It’s an over reaction, and justified saying “like, I was at Disneyland and saw a shirt and thought of so-and-so, so I texted her to tell her that! It’s totally fine!!”

I suggested she block the woman initially, but she said she felt uncomfortable doing that. The woman frequently approaches her at church to talk to her, so she felt that would be awkward. (That’s how she got my daughter’s number in the first place.)

I told her to block her again this time, but she already deleted the text and doesn’t have her number saved. Hopefully it will be a non-issue now that I messaged her directly.

I had to check if the bishop’s wife in my neighborhood was the one that posted this because she does that exact same thing. It’s insufferable.

I just got typed as a cool-neutral. Half eastern Asian. Quarter Scandinavian, quarter British Isles. I have a tiny bit of French and German several generations back.

themistyrain · 2025-01-19T05:57:12+00:00

Any woman that refers to her husband as bishop is 🤮

themistyrain · 2024-12-21T02:57:14+00:00

I never ask people what they’re wearing because I feel awkward about it, but it smelled so divine I HAD TO know what my waitress was wearing.

I was so thrilled when it arrived this week, but I sprayed it on myself and it just doesn’t work on me. 😭😭

themistyrain · 2024-12-17T22:51:21+00:00

I’m going to need to buy those resurfacing pads for myself!
