#exmo shit

so glad I wasn't mormon anymore by the time I had my first job, I can't imagine giving 10% of every already miniscule paycheck to that fuckass church

Seminary graduation 🙃

We’re doing the testimony meeting rn and we’ll have to sing the Armies of Heleman song I fucking hate in a minute.

It all feels so hollow and fake and I haven’t been in a church building (other than seminary and my cousins baby blessing) for months and this feels so wrong.

I think I’m going to throw up 🙃, but I’m gonna keep smiling and shove it down bc if I don’t I’ll be judged mercilessly for it.

I hate this fucking cult get me out.

So many Senior guys in my school are getting their mission calls and giving up stuff like great college opportunities for two years of that shit and I just-

I feel bad for them, honestly. Like they’re all massive bigots that pretend they’re not but I still feel bad that they have no fucking clue.

They have no clue that the bigoted values and ideas they have hurt people, because they’re not aggressively homophobic or ableist or racist- they’re PASSIVELY homophobic and racist and mysoginistic and ableist.

They have no clue that world outside of Utah isn’t as bad as they are told.

They don’t know that they’ll be teaching lies to people and imposing on other faiths that are happy where they are.

They have no clue, and feel bad for them despite how much they’ve hurt me in past years.

We’re singing Nearer My God to Thee in seminary and I’ve never felt farther away yet more trapped.

Ironically, this hymn used to be my favorite.

Not my seminary teacher saying the cult is just like every other religion 😭

Should've known something was up when I was 11 years old, mormon, and my favorite song was "in the end" by black veil brides

I can't believe I used to sit through hours and hours of the most boring men on the planet give the most boring talks on the planet. I'm never happier to be an exmormon than during conference weekend

I think it's absolutely hilarious that mormons call themselves "latter-day saints" but it's been the "latter days" for almost 200 years. like every time there's a natural disaster they're like "oh wow it's really the latter days huh" and then years later, jesus still isn't here (shocker)
