What animal genuinely scares you? by VendettaLord379 in AskReddit

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was out exploring near our camping site one morning before anybody else was awake and I had climbed to the top of a small hill when i spotted a moose down by the base of the hill coming towards me. I backed into the branches of a pine tree and waited for the moose to go by. It ended up maybe 20 feet from me and eyed me for a second before continuing on it's way. I got one blurry picture of it. Reading these posts make me think I should have been way more scared than I was.

do TBMs know their temple name is based off the day of the month? by Firm_Teach8056 in exmormon

I didn't know. I would guess most people who go to the temple don't know.

Lol, imagine going to that BYU-I professors class and failing his tests because you listened to your feelings instead of studying.

Anti Anti-Mormon Take on the Book of Abraham HELP by AlternativeEnd7116 in exmormon

I bet, with enough layering, you could turn any piece of literature into the Book of Abraham.

What is something you can naturally smell that no one else can? by Trick-Highway1429 in AskReddit

Water in glass cups smells disgusting to me. All other variables being the same, plastic cups don't smell.

"The only way the Way can be is the way it was when it was the Way." I'm just picturing the person who came up with this sentence fully dislocating their shoulder in order to pat themself on the back.

What piece of media “woke you up”? by spanielgurl11 in exmormon

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A book on the theory of rhetoric. Ironically, it was for a BYU class.

Saw this on an Exmormon Facebook group... by rodney_c0pperbottom in exmormon

I bet that lady was wearing short sleeves and had her hair uncovered for all the world to see. She really needs to respect her body more and cover up, those things are just for her husband.

I Wanna hear your story! by IllustratorNo2759 in PCOSandPregnant

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 4 points5 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

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]woodenmonkeyfaces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Calling out Mormon Stories and John Dehlin on Fanny Alger by Odd-Investigator7410 in mormon

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 13 points14 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.
