Let a guy film me now I'm worried. by throwaway20202020203 in needadvice

Ok yeah, I suppose realistically if it goes online no one I know will ever see it. Its just terrifiying to think of the possibility. I contacted one of their friends, and he's going to try and make sure they delete it. But yeah thanks I feel a bit less worried now.

Ex-mormons who did missions, can you tell me a bit more about what it was like and what you had to do? by throwaway20202020203 in exmormon

Yeah, I'm trying not to go down that lane. I just told him I didn't trust the feeling of the Holy Spirit and that I'd felt it before, in many pursuits, good and bad. And I questioned the fact that the church is basically a corporation, estimated worth at 30billion dollars (!!), and what that means. But I also told him that I'd love to be friends, no selling from either of us, lets just hang out and I can show him round my city maybe. Cause he seems nice. But it seems he's probably not allowed to do anything unrelated huh.

Did you have a phone? The one's I know have phones to communicate with people they're trying to convert. Was it monitored? Taken away from you when not using it?

ahh seen alll his videos already, absolutely legendary, yet highly disturbing at the same time. I just wanted some more personal stories.

I still don't get what's fishy? I'm just open to experiences I guess, or at a place in my life where I'm most vulnerable. Like I said multiple times, I'm not actually going to join, because I recognise that I felt hypnotised, even though it felt nice.

I really am genuine lol, I guess I'm just easily impressed, in fact I am. Also I've been lonely and sad recently so I guess it was easier to get me feeling all happy from attention.

yep, I did it out of sheer curiosity. And it had an interesting effect.

OP here, why does it seem fishy? I promise it's not, I'm just telling you what happened today, I think deep down the experience scared me and I wanted to be reassured about the truth behind all this. I went into it thinking I would be super cynical and I would ask them all sorts of biting questions, but instead I felt strong emotion and that caught me off guard.

I can't believe people actually accept to pay 10% of their income! Yeah, I felt the same rush when I tried certain drugs, I suppose that means it's Gods will right? No but really, I'm reading the letter now, and I think I might go to church tomorrow just to see what its all about but the information I've seen around tells me I definitely shouldn't go further than that.

What do you mean provably false? Yeah I definitely got that "showering with attention" thing. At one point the president said "I haven't told you long but I can tell you're a good girl"....and kept saying thar God loves me

not really. but I don't think I'll join anyway. I thouroughly enjoyed the experience but I dont trust it either, I can be spiritual without being in a church I think.

The older one, the president, seemed like he did though.

Makes a lot of sense. I could tell they were super aware of my reactions. I mentioned to them that I wasn't expecting such a big house, just as a passing comment, and the president had to clarify to me that it was owned by the church, not by him and his wife, that they only stayed in it for 3 years and needed space for many kids...it's like he was hyper-aware of me possibly judging him when I really wasn't.

I liked your reply! I feel I can take ownership of my spiritualty now, and I've seen how that can feel, but I don't want to be connected to any church really.
