I am in joy that I saw a T-shirt say:

She wants the T(emple)

---I didn't know my question would become a tshirt.

Reblog if you dont shave your legs everyday.

I just want everyone to see how unrealistic some expectations are.

[a-wits]

I don't shave daily. Church members criticized me for not shaving my legs daily. But HEY, MY LEGS WERE ALWAYS COVERED SO HOW YOU GONNA SAY OMG, SHE DON'T SAVE DAILY. I wear leggings+jeans= can you prove that you saw my hair on my leg?

Blog #92

Today, I had time to read and it's strange how every time I revisit my book without thinking it's a mandatory...I would find answers that applies in current time.

I have been losing lots of hair strands at a unsual amount. I eat the same foods and never lost over 15 strands of hair a day. 5 strands at once as soon as I wake up and 1 to 3 throughout the day.

Please pray. I have been out of the church for one year because I had 8 months of headaches and YSA ward did nothing about the bullies in the church. They told me just forget about it but I'm not willing to act like it never happen. I need closure from it.

Probably my last blog entry here. And mormonism isn't for me.

I've been hatred by mormonism because of that wealthy utah jack mormon missionary and I've developed a fake personality to put on a smile and take in all the hits.

Wealthy individuals get away with everything no matter how much damage they've done...And it influences others. 

 That person went to the podium and said "You don't belong here. Look around."

They put up posters at my school that said “dress to be comfortable, not to impress boys” and used it to enforce the dress code so these were put up in retaliation.

I know I’m probably in the minority in this but this modesty thing is really messed up if you ask me…

When I sent postcards to the Sisters, I send real postcards that I purchase at a local university bookstore. Not electronic one...

Heavenly father knows what he is doing with your life. If something bad happens to you just stand up again and keep walking through the storm. It’s going to hurt now but with time you’ll look back and laugh about it. Don’t ever blame Heavenly Father for your pains, that is the reason he gave you a body. Because he knows you’re strong enough to walk through anything he brings you to. ‘If he brings you to it, he’ll bring you through’. Hold on to your faith even when it’s seems like all that’s left is a twig. I’m sorry you’re hurting now but I know that something better is coming.

LDS - Christ Can Change Human Behavior

LDS - Christ Can Change Human Behavior - When our converts "come alive"—and they need nourishment—in the gospel, they soon come alive as students, as parents...

Get to know A-wits LDS/Mormon church ward

It’s like high school but with the maturity of freshman college students a bit.

There are people ranging from 18 to 45 as regular attendees. That’s not counting the Bishopric and that’s not counting the married personnel. They attend ysa ward to help cruise the ysa ward..I don’t know how, though. And the ages are not counting the investigators.

There is a senior missionary couple from Utah.

Little diversity: Roughly 10 people are POC (Ranging from Mexicans, Latin, Asians, and African-American(s).)

There are bilingual members in this ysa ward and couple trilingual.

I will blog on my personal blog for a while. I'm going to write a draft (letter).  Not sure what to do with this blog.

I sent 1 post card to two sister missionaries.

Most likely I'll send one postcard only. No emails. No letters.

I hope to be an sociologist to study trends and behaviors of different groups and generations. If that make sense.

I would like justice to be served to the victims of bullying done by the "religious blessed member or people."
