You'll be back was my personal favorite.

The thing that stood out to me in your post was, I'm not missing any weddings. My first instinct was just to tell you to throw caution to the wind and embrace what is. Until I read about the wedding thing. If you think your kids are going to get married in the temple and you feel like you have to be...

Return and Report Well I made it through. My teaching companion is kind of a chill guy so that makes it easier. The lesson was about the succession of BY. I asked the kids about the story and they related it, I neither confirmed nor denied their answer. We spent the balance talking about the mechan...

Thanks to all who posted here, this is great advice. I will be teaching this Sunday and I will be looking for a way to teach them a good principle and if possible one related to the lesson. If you are doing the candy and wordsearches and anyone makes any comments just say: I know! I'm not very good...

I guess one of the problems I have with a forum like exmo reddit is the idea that there is only one way to leave the church, one way to fight it, the fact that it should be fought, etc. and someone like NNN is often held up as a model of bravery and authenticity.(I knwo the entire sub isn't like th...

Candy, wordsearches with church words, and hangman.

Yup. I don't know what's missing from my life. That thing I used to call God. A greater purpose bigger than myself. That doesn't make sense either though. I have a lovely family. I love my spouse, my kids, and my job that is extremely fulfilling/meaningful. It's just that no matter how I fill that p...

Also my advice for figuring out what you believe. I'm going to try therapy and see where that gets me. For now, this is pretty much where I'm at: “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprise...

I have so much emotional baggage around the word God that I can't use that word to describe goodness or truth or beauty anymore. It'd be nice and convenient if I could, but I can't. I got this wonderful book that I read to my children: https://www.amazon.com/I-Wonder-Annaka-Harris-ebook/dp/B00G8O71A...

Saw that Mary Snap article earlier, it's fascinating! And some people just do their photo for the day of Halloween if you want to do it that day/check back that day.

Wow. Very, very, very relateable post for me. I have struggled with my mental health since I left the church. It was everything to me and it has been hard to find a way to be positive since leaving. I do live an authentic life now and have resigned so my situation is different. I know I would benefi...

That sounds like a very tough situation and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. My first thought was you need to create boundaries. They will be uncomfortable at first, but they will make your relationship stronger if both parties want the relationship to last and grow. When you said that conversati...

It looks like the pics linked to in the Redit thread have been taken down. Anyone have links to the pics from other sources?

Try that.

Tank top garments come out and I guarantee the majority of Mormon women suddenly have the need to immediately buy 10 new sets each. $$ Not that I'm complaining, I would be one of them. Especially if the fabric is suddenly breathable. WOW! Never even thought that it could be a ploy for money. I am v...

If this is true, I'm excited to see the modesty standards change over night. "Our parents thought shoulders were immodest LOL. So grateful for modern revelation!!" RIGHHHT??? And makes me think if this really happened suddenly school dress codes in Utah will change. School dress codes honestly seem...

Just searched for a thread on the IOT podcast. Very fascinating subject material, listened to it this week. Seems way more plausible than anything I can come up with to be honest, but I've been wrong about some pretty huge stuff in my life before. ;) What I'd give for a time machine to make sense of...

I went to the Trump Rally in Phoenix https://m.popkey.co/8f6fd8/EGbrl.gif To each their own. I guess. I still like you as a human. I didn't say I supported trump. I didn't say which side of the barricade I was on. I just said I went. It was a fascinating experience. For the record, I was rather dis...

Went to BOM Musical. Stopped following the church's council to be a stay at home mom. Wore bikinis all summer. and.... I RESIGNED!!! It made me happy and sad, but felt like a natural/important step in this stage of our life. I kind of feel like the church forced my hand. It was a done before a move ...
