I've never been Mormon but I am fascinated by ex-Mormon content. People who leave and are able to speak about it are so brave and inspiring to me, and they remind all of us of the importance of choosing who we want to be in life, rather than letting someone else's expectations tell you. All of these women are amazing.
Just to start out the conversation, my daughter says, she will never date another LDS man, inactive, or X Mormon. She says they are all addicted to porn and all have sexual shame and guilt that they place on her over sexual relations. They have problems taking accountability for their own actions, they place blame on others, and put unrealistic expectations on material and physical appearance.
Not the shortest mission ever. We had a missionary who spent 3 weeks in the MTC and made it less than a week before going home. I think it was day 2 she requested to go home, and by day 4 she was home.
The importance of suppressing women is not obvious. Instead of clarifying this reality, most often such questions avoid the topic by providing epistemological denials… ie that the appearance of suppression is actually something else. Imo, it is crucial to maintain focus on what is an objective reality: women are systematically suppressed
Imagine what it's like to be a man with the burden of being so righteous that you must lead your wife across the veil into the celestial kingdom. I am female and felt the burden of being perfect and following priesthood authority as an LDS young woman, but now that I'm out, I realize there's a huge burden on the men as well.
You didn't mention the 'population decline', where there are so many people now not having children that we don't have enough young people to work to keep the economy going, care for the elderly. Only in Western countries this is happening.
@danaraine91 yeah... I get it. I was raised in the 80s in the LDS church and went through all that you guys have gone through... Possibly more. I probably just wouldn't say it out to the world in this format. Maybe it hits home too much. But I am happily married to a very wonderful man from Germany and it's my second marriage. All the best to you!!

I worked hard to be a good wife for 29 years. All that work evaporated when he died. Lesson learned is that being a wife is a role NOT an identity.
I am so sorry ❤

@Brian Waller yes

I dont hate kids. I never had kids. Never wanted them.
We always need to stay neutral on some topics. And moderation in everything
Had to sign off on this one. Too much info. Grace and refinement still matter to listeners.
I apologize that our life experiences are not graceful or refined enough. But they are very real to each of us and so many other women! 🩵

The most beautiful lady in the sight of men is young woman. Blooming, fresh. Leaders are advantage on them.. 💯+🤏1🎉
