Hi Suckafoo, I have been busy packing and dealing with lots of things I need to do before moving. Nice to see you aboard! I have read quite a bit lately, but not posted much. All of the stuff about the BOM musial I found most interesting. I as well think I am beginning to recover as I have not felt the need to post near as much. I have been here on and off I guess for about 3 years- I did not fin

"Thou protesteth too much." Ever heard that saying? I thought you had to work, you seem rather nervous. I am fine, please continue with your posts.
Forum: Recovery Board

What I would like you to do, if as you say, all of this story and your i.d. is the truth, is continue to post your saga, your journey outside the mormon church that all here seem to be very fascinated with. I will admit, I have read little of it, but if you say it is true, than so be it. Please feel free to continue on, I was only questioning, not accusing, because if you drop off everyone wi

Stormy, Please reply to my personal question to you on the front board, as I would not want to wrongly accuse someone.

Could it be that your real name is Sonny Curtis? That you are TBM and yes, like you claim, are married to a Dr. Erik Curtis of Couer'd Alene, Idaho, orthodontist ( my oldest son) and very close to a SIL in Spokane WA to where you live and that you hate your MIL (me) for calling you out on all of your lies, nosiness, and manipulations? Is this REALLY you? Could it be that ONLY your MIL is an ex

I have wondered about the exact same thing from day one. Have not read many of s's posts as I do not find it interesting to learn of every single detail of anyone's life, be it true or otherwise. Sorry, Stormy I never believed a word of it. But then I have not read much of it because was turned off from the beginning. Someone that feels the whole world is interested in everything that occurs i

I LOVE what you say here, AmIDarkNow, and agree totally. Great insight and a sign of your own character. There is NO reason to hate the mormon people, and like you said , we used to BE them! And just because we chose to leave, we should always give them the same respect that we would like to receive as exmomons. The anger, when it comes, at least for me, has nothing to do with the mo people, b
Forum: Recovery Board

I think it is mean and wrong of them to make fun of the mormons in their class. Exmormons want to be respected and mormons do as well. Every human being should receive respect and not be judged, regardless of what they believe, just as a matter of kindness and common courtesy. All 3 of my boys went to dental school after 4 years of college, and 2 specialized after even that, and I do not thin

In my old ward for a few years they stopped letting the little ones testify from the sac. meeting pulpit and we had our own f and t meetings in primary meeting group meetings, not classes, every fast sunday. After about 5 years, that stopped, no more f and t meetings in primary and the kids were invited once again to testify in Sac. meeting. At the time I found all of this quite strange. I

I think it can work if you agree to never make it a subject of conversation, never try to pull one to the other's side.

No, I was ignored by most all mormons completely here in the morridor.
Forum: Recovery Board

That is the number one reason I left and later resigned. I am a mom and grandmother of a very large family. Someone had to speak the truth and get out, so that others that follow me and eventually doubt and then disbelieve, will at least feel freer to leave because mom or grandma did, if they so choose. But I do think it is far liklier that any of my kids that may learn of the lies and deceit
Forum: Recovery Board

And in the morridor they not only ask if you are a mormon, but often just say "Are you a member?", and I want to say, "Of what, the YWCA?". I mean how obnoctious and arrogant is that question really?
Forum: Recovery Board

They come here because they are nosy little busy bodies, that like to profess their true blue belief, but then hypocritically show who they really are by coming here and disobeying the man they profess to believe actually speaks for God. I have to wonder how strongly they actually believe, or if they do not have doubts from what they have learned here. I hope they do. I really don't see how you c

Now I am older than most of you, but back in the late 60's when I was in High School the word MY mom most freaked out about was "Bitchen"-- She was more offended by that than anything. And it meant "Awesome", no different. But that word would send her on the rampage, of course we NEVER said the F word, and I mean NEVER!

I have been laughing out loud through all of these posts, but Matt, yours takes the cake. Lessons? How funny is that? I grew up saying damn , shit and hell, and OMGod. We just said it all the time, growing up on the beaches of So. Cal, a lot more laid back than the mo's here in Utah, but NEVER the F word, never. I just always tried not to swear around my mom. Then I got married in the temple a

I know exactly what you mean. And it is the part I am trying to work thorough and get over, because when I am feeling that way, I know I am not being my best self. I honestly have been thinking about the same things as you, and I do think it takes quite a while to get over the anger and pain from all the loss one , at least I did, experiences from leaving. Pain from family members in my cas

No kidding! When we got married in the temple in 1970 we were told to multiply and replenish immediately. NOT to wait "til we had money or education or a descent job or for any reason. By age 28, I had 5 kids, and was goin' crazy. I loved them to death, but it was in the days when hubbies never helped with the kids, at least most did not, and I got depression and then anxiety and honestly

Yeah, Col. M.s father takes his turn regularly. I am pretty sure he said they have them slip on white jumpsuits to do it, but maybe I just imagined it that way. His dad is 87, can you imagine? Luckily he is not married, so will never be asked to serve a mission. Every single couple I have ever known that have gone on a mission just hated it, except for one, and being related to a GA they got

Well they stopped saying that Adam was in fact God, the father of our Spirits, and that if BY taught that, then he was wrong. I think they are in pretty much denial about the whole blood atonement issue ever being taught. That some sins are not covered by Christ and so a man must give up his life. And I am not speaking here of murder and a subsequent death penalty by firing squad, but of the p

Rebekah, and I loved it. But we had planned to name out first little girl that, so I decided I had better not. Please don't ask me why, it just somehow felt like I would be revealing a hidden secret I guess. Anyway, Rebekah, March 27, 1970. And I know Col. M. was Joseph, but don't know the date. Joseph!

I would say "Unbleievable", except that the same thing has kind of happened to me, too. I am now excluded from the family journaling my family does on Thanksgiving day about counting their blessings, writing them down, sharing them with each other, and then saving them in some kind of book for posterity. I am sure mine of long ago have long since been dumped. In fact, I have not b
