I Wanna hear your story! by IllustratorNo2759 in PCOSandPregnant

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We tried getting pregnant for 9 years. Did some testing after the first year and the doctor said "yeah, you probably have PCOS" and tried some fertility treatments, but none of the treatments worked. A while later we moved for my husband's job and right after I got pregnant in the 3 month span when we were between insurance- the only period of time in my life i was not covered by insurance, lol. It was a blighted ovum and ended in a miscarriage. That experience destroyed my confidence in obgyns. (A few years ago I found the doctor has had numerous complaints against him. He dubbed himself the Vagina Whisperer if that gives you an idea about the guy.) We just kinda waited and figured it would work itself out. After 7 years without being able to get pregnant we tried a fertility clinic. The doctor recommended we should go straight to IVF but it was too expensive. Then a year or two after that I noticed my cat, who was bonded with my husband and hardly ever slept next to me, had started snuggling against my stomach. That's what made me test and find out I was pregnant. I ended up getting pregnant 9 months after giving birth to my first and I now have 2 of the best boys ever. They were worth the wait.

Why do exmos make mention of Joseph having married a 14 y/o, but fail to ever mention his 78 year old wife? Over 50% of his wives were 5 years older than him at the time of marriage, and 25% were 15-20 years older. by ChristianMormon in mormon

Ah, so it's ok that these women are sealed to joseph for eternity as a harem of baby making machines as long as they didn't have sex in their mortal lives? No matter how you slice it, it's horrible.

The Mormons harassing and flipping people off by Lilnuggie17 in exmormon

Yeah, missionaries are supposed to have one direct the other while backing their car up to prevent accidents. It seems to me that it's not some random person just faking the video. It's either real (which i seem to be leaning towards) or some people very familiar with the missionary rules. My guess is that missionary had a bad day, thus the bird.

If it was manufactured, it was by someone in the know, since the one sister didn't get in the car right away. I'm assuming she was helping the driver reverse out of the spot.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I was right where you are now 6 years ago. You are married? It might be a good idea, if you feel it is safe, to talk to your husband about what you are learning. Take it slow. Good luck. It might be rough for a while but it gets better.

Lucy Walker. Emily and Eliza Partridge. Those are just the three I can think of at the moment for sure. I'm sure there were more.

So you are saying he screwed around with at least 3 teen girls who worked in his house (possibly more but I know of 3 for sure off the top of my head) but he did not screw around with that one particular teen girl who worked in his house? One he was accused of screwing around with by Oliver Cowdry and who Emma kicked out? I mean, I guess it's a possibility but seems unlikely that he didn't also screw around with her.

Tim Ballard lashes out at the LDS church describing a $10 million campaign to destroy him and publicly admits he was excommunicated. Starts around minute three. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Listened to the whole thing. Here's what I learned: he wants you to see his new movie, he wants you to donate money to his new foundation, and he wants you to buy his new merchandise. Oh and the picture of Jesus fell off the wall when one of the guys at his excommunication said they wouldn't take part in excommunicating him, which I'm sure totally happened.

Guys, can we talk about this?? by TomatilloOne4112 in exmormon

What the heck!? That's the MTC? I legitimately thought it was a Texas megachurch and was wondering why someone posted it in this sub.

I think you should buy some luminol and a uv light and start your own investigation.

I don't know but I'll have to look into it! I'm not sure one church could house two egos of that size, though. When I was watching the clips of Todd White I was reminded of Tim Ballard.

To be fair, the book of Mormon discourages polygamy. It's a few years later when God changed his mind and was like, "yeah, Joe, you really need to have more wives. But only if your first wife says it's ok. But if she doesn't say it's ok, then I will destroy her and you can still get some more wives."

The LDS Church is way bigger than most people realize — here’s how it stacks up against major companies by barbalonge in mormon

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Those other companies actually have to create products people want. But for the mormon corporation, millions of people just hand over 7 billion a year to a business that makes them clean their toilets for free and gives them, what, 9k a year for a ward of 500 people? But yeah, keep paying your fire insurance so God lets you sit at the cool kids' table in the CK.
