I have a few...When I was a freshman at a junior college in Southern Utah I went to some beginning of semester dance on campus with my roommates. A random guy asked me to dance and then asked for my number. Didn't feel comfortable giving it to him but I was too naive/nice and did. He asked me out on a double date the next weekend. I only said yes because I could bring my friend. He picked us up a

I'm jealous of all you with only a handful of TBM facebook friends... Here's a reaction that was particularly eye-roll inducing: "In the words of Phil Robertson, I am happy, happy, happy!!!

My brother thought the reason my husband and I stopped going to church was because we were lazy. And my Mom did pull the "deep down you know its true, you'll be back" card. Nope. Not happening.

I saw four of them shopping at the Goodwill in Murray yesterday. They all walked to the book section and started going through every single book in the store. I really wanted to ask them what they were doing because I know it wasn't their p-day.

Oh and I forgot to add that one time my Dad was called in for a meeting with the Bishop and it was just a big sales pitch for Amway. The Bishop strongly urged my Dad to invest! He stormed out of his office. He was so mad it happened in the eighties and I still hear about it. Lol.

Two of my TBM cousins had Husbands who were Bishops who cheated on them. One left my cousin and was caught with his new wife in an adult book store/theater doing something "adult" and arrested. It was really embarrassing for him because he was a prominent business owner in a small town in Texas and it made all the local papers. The other one was just an idiot. He was seen all over

Lol yes. Another thing I have noticed is that they always have to tell you about the local branch they visited! Along with a comment about how small that ward is and they are right on schedule with the lesson and how comforting it is that no matter where you go, the church is always the same!!!

"Bad" movies or tv shows, Rap music. Doing anything or Being anywhere that gave "bad feelings" I remember my sister was excited to go to a concert with her friends and my brother told my Mom he had a "bad feeling" about her going so she didn't get to go. She was so ticked. Oh and her friends went and had an awesome time and nothing happened.

UGH! I've had several friends say they are running out to buy guns and ammunition and stocking up on soda and junk food because Obama is going to ban it all!

My Dad reacted pretty much the same way when I told him I didn't believe. He talks to me but now he is always saying what a difficult child I was to raise and how difficult a person I am. (He never used to say things like that before.) I think me leaving the church has tainted his memory of me. I really don't even think he likes me as a person now. Sad when church comes first before family.

My Mom fully admits that the only reason she got married at age 22 is because all of her friends were married and she thought she was an old maid. She has told us many times she regrets it. She and my Dad fight all the time and can't stand the sight of each other. It was their marriage that first made me question the teachings of the church because they were soooo unhappy.

I hated all the time I wasted going to stupid young women's activities, attending church and seminary. I was really shy and didn't have any friends in my ward so every camp, activity and conference really sucked. I was miserable at every single one but if I didn't go, my parents would yell at me. I just wish I could have had more free time to hang out with my friends and have more fun. I remember
