"Mom, it seems like it's better to die at 7 than to risk being sinful at 8." That pretty much sums up the insanity of all dogmatic religions that teach that God is a forever punishing being if you don't live the right way.

I only came to this horrific realization recently when I learned that I was 'lucky' 😞 that I was sexually abused at the age of 'seven' in the Mormon chapel. as the church teaches that over the age of eight, a child is aware of right and wrong, even if sexually abused and that they therefore the child contributed to it happening. The Mormon church is disgustingly vile to the extreme!!!

Oh my gosh! When I was 19, I met a pair of young men who were Momons on a mission. They asked me a few questions and I told them I was newly on my own away from home and having trouble affording food and I'd had to stop buying meat and fresh vegetables because they were expensive. They never really mentioned religion, just asking about me..then returned later with a huge bage containing 2 whole NY Strip steak dinners with potatoes and green beans. They just handed it to me, told me to enjoy it and said they'd pray for me and left. It meant a lot at the time. I had no idea how little money they were living on! I feel awful they spent what little they had on me! 😮

I’ve done allot of medieval- early 1900/ costuming /reenactment which often means wearing allot of Linen shifts and undergarments, so the idea of garments didn’t seem weird to me until I found out how much synthetic fibre were used in their construction, like they all seem to be cotton spandex and poly mesh, which would be disgusting in summer, or in most weather really. The reason why linen was used as an undergarments was because it not only breathed but as a bast fibre it is naturally cooling and sweat wicking… but the Mormon garments just seem more synthetic than cotton, which would be awful to wear and would stink after a hot day in the sun.

That was such fun😁. When I moved to Cape Town, South Africa, I was invited to go to a nudist beach. I fully expected to wear my bikini. I went naked within 30 minutes. It is a wonderful experience. I once met a male colleague there and we were not embarrassed. Hearing about all the restrictions placed on young Mormon girls is disturbing. That church is obsessed with s€xual matters. Are all the leaders secret voyeurs? Bishops asking 8 year old children about their body is disgusting. If my daughter's teachers asked her about anything to do with her intimate body, they would be fired and have their licence removed. Alyssa and Carah, you make a great team.

It's funny how different things are in Germany as a mormon. When nobody has ever heard of mormonism. You're essentially socially isolating yourself for 6 days a week and seminary, church activites and sundays are the only social interaction you have, so most people stay way longer. We went to church at 7am (had to drive for an hour to get there) and stayed until 2pm or something like that. And seminary and yw meeting was just one evening where both would take place. We were just 5 teens 2male, 3female (12-18) in our (is it called ward?) and we lived like 1,5h hours apart each of us in different directions. So there was no way meeting out of church. We were sooooo alone and sooo mormon. I was looking forward to every sunday and yw and seminary meeting, because I had people to talk to there. I would never have missed just one meeting, ever. Going to the temple is very difficult, like driving 8h one way. Even the rules were so much different.

ps. my sister was completely isolated from sugar, caffeine, or any stimulant, and now she has severe detriment in being able to process basic sugars and caffeine. sometimes when we protect children from toxins, we unfortunately prevent their bodies from learning to process those toxins, and end up making their lives harder in the long run. We should focus on helping children to cope and function in the world they exist in rather than coddling them away from things we deem scary. I wasnt given the chance to adapt to the real world, and it was a lot hrder to avoid abuse and sutiations where my naivety made things difficult. We need to teach children rather than coddle them. because avoiding "scary or hard" things doenst set anyone up to know how to deal wiht them or be strong. Help people be strong. Thats the best thing you can do.

Though I also was a very devout Mormon wife and mother for almost 12 years (after growing up in the church) I hated the temple and felt awkward, culty and betrayed as it was happening. Felt gross and uncomfortable during the sealing. Got married to my first serious adult boyfriend, essentially the first I felt like could work and liked me because I didn't want to end up an old maid (the singles ward was obviously 3 women to ever 1 man, I knew my chances were already crap from the jump at 18)

I'm curious about the transition from being "very Mormon" to being, for lack of a better word, "normal". For example, you both talk about sex rather freely, and even have fun talking about it -- which is normal. But you both grew up in a very anti-sex religion, which means you surely grew up associating sex with guilt and shame, probably very deep guilt and shame. How did you break free from that? Speaking for myself, I find it very difficult to just 'give up' shame -- I always feel bad about it, even if my brain tells me I'm doing nothing wrong, maybe even something good. How did you deal with these feelings of guilt and shame? Was it difficult?

Haha, this is a very funny idea, and it also sounds delicious! Despite never having been Mormon, I am tempted to try it if i can get my hands on the ingredients.

That’s interesting that you have thoughts about men looking at you when you wear a bikini. I’ve worn one my whole life and have never thought about a man looking at me. Not even a thought. I’m a never Mormon. I also grew up in a very liberal home so perhaps that’s why? I’ve never thought though about a man looking. My body is just another body on the beach 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im a nevermormon but when you talk about covenants it reminds me of not thinking anything of needing my husband to sign a permission slip to get my tubes tied and now I spoke to a young woman that was absolutely mortified s he needed her husband to sign off .I really didn't think anything of it but come to think about it it's ridiculous I think I blew it off because it was my husband's insurance.

When I was 16 and was inactive I didn't care the kind of music that I listened. The when I reactivete to the church I stopped listening any music tha had sexual content. At the mission I never tell my companions "mother" that it is commun at lest in México. I had the change to hang out with non member but I didn't, I dind't wanted to had boyfriend unless we both have the propuse to get married. Of course I confesed every little thing to my bishop. Now I still a member, it's difficult to leave when you have a family and they do a good work making that your entire life go around the church.

When I was able to take shots I always chased it with something. I never thought about chasing shots with pickle juice, but that sounds like it would have been a really good chaser. I love pickles and pickle juice. But taking shots makes me so sick since I’ve gotten older, drinking any alcohol makes me sick even just 1 drink.

Can someone please explain the reference(s) apparently to a movie or movies bleeped out with pictures of corn and cornbread blocking the view of what is being said? I'm usually pretty hep about pop culture, but I must not be aware of the particular reference(s) or movie(s). Just a general description or the name of the movie or movies (to the extent that is what was bleeped out) would be helpful, and I'm not asking for any kind of detailed description or crass explanation which would likely make me sorry that I asked.

I have a treasured cookbook called "The Mennonite Community Cookbook"; I always called it my "Mormon" cookbook, because to me, Mennonites and Mormons were all the same shit as Moonies and Hare Krishnas; ie "cults", and I live in Nevada (not Mennonite territory), so I just called it "Mormon" for easy reference... Probably because all my Mormon friends' moms were really good cooks. Seriously, Mormon moms are genius when it comes to snacks and refreshments. My Greek-Orthodox mom made snacks too (mostly olives and cheese), but not like Mrs. Molly Young did.

1:01:45 I went twice at the MTC (I think), and then my mission didn’t have a temple. Some of the best, most sincere members I had ever met were there and didn’t have the blessings of the temple. I figured the temple was almost a stumbling block for members, look at all the living people we can help, the millennium is for our dead.

When i was young, my mom had a coworker whose son had terminal brain cancer. I remember going to a Relay for Life to support him. I learned laterwhen he passed that his family was Mormon, and that just before his death, he was able to be baptized. My mom said his family was really glad he was able to do that, but I wonder if he ever thought that he wanted to die before then, so hed stay pure. I remember at the time being so confused as to what happened if he couldnt get baptized, and my mom explaining that his family's religion taught that everyone under 8 would immediately go to heaven. So I just rationalized it as him wanting it to be his choice.

What I have noticed is that the deeper someone has been in a religion, the more rebellious they are when they bust out. It’s as if they unleash their hidden desires and just break free. They just LIVE. Uninhibited.

Travel safety is important for the formerly sheltered from life and now more independent. Hotel safety: tape a tennis ball between silver flip out security bar and door. Criminal cops, hotel employees collude with other criminals (dark web) to access rooms of unsuspecting. They disengage the bar from the hallway with a coat hanger. My room was further accessible because someone disengaged the deadbolt with a coiled wire, prolly a hotel employee. Get security bar with alarm that extends from doorknob to floor, tape in place. At home, use a combo of wi-fi and sd cards in cameras. Wi-fi jammers will become more of an issue, I suspect. I’m really appreciating how you are helping others to be more free.
