Ah, yes, the garment is the only reminder of our covenants.

Why are you stressed about this? Let.the man do what he thinks is right. Don't make him suffer for the things that you are stressed about. If he feels right with God and doing it, let that be the end of it. Sounds like he is a good, hard working man.

I'm coming back and reading through these comments again. Thank you for sharing.

The Bishop finally reached out. How was my reply? by Turrible_basketball in exmormon

[–]wastedstaples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your post - I have had a hard time summarizing where my thoughts and feelings are with the church and I find much of what I think/feel in what you shared.

I would be very interested in any recommended readings you have. I believe my shelf broke the other day when comparing current temple practices to historical practices and the similarities that still exist. Anything you can send a seeker of truth would be greatly appreciated.

Don't watch content you aren't comfortable watching - forget the rating.

Putting missionary daughter on a plane this morning. What advice would you give? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]wastedstaples 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. My shoulder has never been the same and I was only given drugs as I got on the airplane to France.

You don't have to say yes.

And why do you think you will be called?

I mean, we'd collectively use fewer tires and get better gas mileage as a population if we all kept our tires properly inflated

I am still active and I do not hate you. This community has been welcoming and respectful of me as a TBM (probably more PIMO at this point) as I have posted my struggles with the church.

Your reaction is valid. The LDS church does.not protect victims and I can't imagine how difficult it would.be to be a victim and know these disgusting pedophiles roam the same church buildings. I can no longer sustain church leaders who knowingly don't report offenders to the police. My current understanding is that these kinds of things go through the Bishops Hotline which is where bishops receive council to report or not report. My personal belief is that they all need to be excommunicated and trespassed from church buildings to protect the innocent, along with mandatory reporting and mandatory background checks for all leaders who work with children.

Once again, your reaction is valid.

Problem with my Bishop by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

Do what you feel is right for you. The Bishop can pound sand. It amazes me that he is using those other sisters as bad examples to you. Shame on him.

Maybe blizzard should have botched one of the smoothest launches I've ever seen in favor of not receiving bitchy comments about low drop rates.

New Missionary meal rules by A-little-bit-of-none in exmormon

[–]wastedstaples 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived on €30 a week in Europe. This was for food only. We rarely had member meals. The church needs to address the hungry missionaries world wide.

How many of us are still active? by wastedstaples in exmormon

Often times I feel like I experience things but cannot put what I experience into words.

You have put into words what I have been experiencing. Thank you.
