Wow, Agnes Broomhead, thank you for the shout out. I was a taken back when she decided to join the church and so were our mutual friends who are closeted non-believers and formally resigned exmormons. She is a lot smarter than this and we have tried showing her the videos in the past and she did watch many of the videos from the newnamenoah Youtube channel. Me and our friends use to take bets

My university friend converted to the church a little over a year ago. She was telling me how she realized that the number of well-dressed people who used to knocked on her door were actually Mormons missionaries. She never answered the door then. It wasn't until she was standing outside a bus stop and ran into a pair that she talked to them.

notamoron, relocate so that you are able to maintain a relationship with your children. Even if it means moving to Utah, Idaho or Arizona, do it.

I have a friend who was born and raised Mormon and he told me straight up: BYU is like a cult.

I was fortunate to have attended university with a full-ride scholarship. My convert friend from university just paid hers off last month.

I don't think so, because LD$ Inc. requires 10% of your income, so if you do the simple math of that for 12 months, no because LD$ Inc. takes thousands.

I'm glad she reconsidered divorce. It clearly tells that you are more important. Besides, why bother with a divorce when someone can do a proxy seal on your behalf and seal the two of you together? My jack Mormon friend taught me about proxy sealings and baptisms.

You're right about that.

Realize they have been misled b/c it's a cult in the 1st place. Brush it off b/c your family has been brainwashed. Don't spend too much time being sad over it. Have u considered speaking with a therapist?

My friend was molested by her 3rd grade teacher. She forgave him knowing that it must have been a heavy cross to bear so it must've been ever more scary for him to get the help he needed. She did come fwd to the police about it, though.

The next time we talk, I'll let her know it's better for her to marry a non-Mormon, Thanks 22547474, elderolddog and SusieQ#1.

I just had lunch with her and she told me it seems that garments are more about modesty than covenants - that was her impression from temple prep last Sunday. They worry more about what you wear than covenants.....
Forum: Recovery Board

Come to think of it. I think I realize what my Mormon-raised friends mean when they talk about how the church is with them literally 24/7 even in the bathroom - it's the garments...

Oh, man today was in the 90s so I would imagine she'd be one to ditch garments ASAP.

It's because you told your parents every time you moved which was how the missionaries found you. You should have moved and not told your parents. Keeping in touch by phone and email was enough.

Congratulations to your mother :) While I know it's hard and upsetting that her former friends would shun and ostracize her, talk to her about still loving them. It's not the people who are the problem it is the church. You can love the people, but not the church.

I have 2 friends who are closeted non-believers who have already made their peace with it and I would think it is because we don't live in Utah, Idaho, Arizona or any of the surrounding areas in what they call "Mormon country." 3 of my friends are now inactive and have been considering formally resigning from the church because of the history and all. I would imagine they will do just f

My friend got her patriarchal blessing not too long ago. She's now doing her temple prep class to prepare to get her temple recommend. She mentioned something about the tribe of Judah.

*thumbs up* - I have faith her shelf will crack because she knows how to be assertive and she is openly honest. Her move to be a "jack Mormon" clearly depicts that. We have a few common friends who are inactive and are in-the-closet non-believers who have been supportive and gentle in sharing insights about the church without being pushy, so with time, I hope she'll resign. You guys
Forum: Recovery Board

Thanks for the list of questions. I'll send it to her. Honestly, I hope her shelf cracks. She's only been in for a little over a year so I want to believe there is hope that she will figure out the church for what it really is. Some of our mutual friends already have. I'm just glad she's not giving in with the garments and changing her wardrobe.

OK, for some of you who don't know y I'm on thos board, I am not a member (and never was or will ever be, for sure) and one of my close childhood friends is a convert to the LDS church. So, my friend is preparing to get her temple recommend. Today she talked to me and our friends (some who r inactive & closeted apostates & a few who have never been Mormons). She learned about garments

Try a non-denominational Christian church. I grew up in it with a friend who is now a convert to the LDS church. The biblical Jesus is not the same as the Mormon Jesus. Jesus is awesome and amazing and it is worth journeying into a non-denominational church. Remember: you are not perfect but Jesus thinks you are to die for ;)
