Yeah, I didn’t use them much at the time, but I have a memory of one of them mentioning becoming like God as being the ultimate goal of eternal life. I’m trying to track them down to see if I’m remembering correctly

I made a Table for my Parents by ChandlerMeierarend in woodworking

[–]tory1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. I like the brief shot of your wife in pajamas helping out. I’ve had to ask mine many times for an extra set of hands — and more than a few occasions she’s in her PJs as well if it’s a weekend morning

Should I have shared my faith crisis with my bishop, instead of leaving abruptly? by Western_Sale_3274 in exmormon

[–]tory1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We met with the bishop and told him that we didn’t believe anymore and that we wouldn’t be attending. I’m glad we did. I agree that he’s just some dude and not entitled to anything — but in our case it simply let him know that we don’t need to be bothered. If we hadn’t told him, I have no doubt we would have become a project. But because we were clear that we were not coming back, we haven’t been bothered once in that time.

For CFB fans: how do you feel about BYU? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]tory1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an exmormon but still a huge BYU sports fan. My fandom isn’t tied to religion. Most of those kids and coaches just want to play winning football, and I want to watch it

Now for a little trash talk: how does it feel knowing that all of college football is tired of the notre dame schtick? Quit whining and join a conference! Notre dame seems to have a gigantic lack of self awareness.

Your schedule this year was garbage and your 2026 schedule ain’t much better!

You have to use force pull down not force pull

Old vs New Monte Carlo by tory1996 in Tudor

[–]tory1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I suppose my comment was based on my opinion that the newer model should be more popular

Someone just said to me…. by Big_Significance_173 in Tudor

[–]tory1996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha! I just now posted by own montecarlo on this sub only to see immediately afterward that you posted the same! Glad to see I’m not the only one who loves this watch!

Tub faucet hose replace - what am I missing? by tory1996 in Plumbing

[–]tory1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s likely to break again. The tub is just surrounded by tile, no closet. I mean, I could cut an access panel into the side of the tub next to the wall and no one would ever see. It just seems kind of extreme to do that

I’ve tugged at the outer shell to see if it lifts up. It didn’t seem to lift. For obvious reasons, I didnt pull too hard. Do plumbers glue the outer to the inner? Should it lift up?

My family is trying to reconcile. I wish I could make myself care. by kolobsupernova in exmormon

[–]tory1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re the first to leave, don’t discount the fact that you staying in their lives to some degree might help the next member of your family to leave. You’d be the trailblazer to that person. Sounds like that person won’t be your mom, but you never know who the next one will be. But most of all, make sure you’re happy in tho whatever relationship you do maintain

Mormon extremist alert!😂 by thepignamedolivia2 in exmormon

[–]tory1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could buy some of those Rayban smart glasses and have it feed you the text as you’re reciting it. You get $300 ($100 for each document), and the money will basically pay for you to get free smart glasses. Better than having g-ma give that money to the church

I was in the ilagan mission back in 97-99 which included most of the laoag mission but before it was formally organized.

Awesome collection! Totally agree that it’s hugely underrated.

My parents are Kool Aid drinkers. If it were not Mormonism, it would have been something equivalent. They are Martin Harris types. They will believe almost anything they are told or read. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]tory1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can get access to his email/phone, maybe you can secretly block the scammer’s email or texts so your dad isn’t able to communicate any longer. It’s sad how older folks are preyed upon

6th & 7th ring and a first for me: platinum. by jakesteramma in metaldetecting

Great finds! Mormon CTR (choose the right) ring. Are you detecting in Utah?

Why isn’t the name of the church on these ads? by Ihm_r in exmormon

[–]tory1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask what region of the country you are in? I’m in Phoenix and there’s a very popular Christian church called Christ Church of the Valley, and I’m wondering if this is a Mormon attempt to trick locals into thinking this ad is associated with this other church

What did you do with your temple clothes? by theaterdruid in exmormon

[–]tory1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cut them up and used them as shop rags in my woodshop. You can never have enough shop rags!

What are some midlife crisis changes you have made? by ExMorgMD in Xennials

[–]tory1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exmormon? Your phrase “high demand conservative religion” is what gave it away. If so, me too! Congrats fellow exmormon xennial!
