I think it was just learning more about church history and also things in the book of mormon that basically prove that the whole book is a lie. I’m also queer so that influenced me leaving too

utahs changed a lot. a lot of mormons aren’t even mormon they just have family obligations. that’s just in utah county too. in salt lake county it’s getting progressively easier to casually leave the church

How do they explain way Joseph smiths many wives, how common is it for people to question Joseph smiths story, is the thing where Mormons have someone else shake the bed true, and why is there a joke about Mormons having “magic underwear”? I know a lot of these are stereotypes but this is the first opportunity I’ve had to ask an actual (ex)Mormon about it.

i’m also exmo! 1) they gaslight everyone and say he just had one wife 2) not common with active members 3) only in utah but it’s still very rare. soaking happens more often but there’s not usually a third (the bed shaker) 4) at some point after you turn 18 you can choose to become “endowed” and basically make a bunch of oaths to be a good mormon. one of the oaths is modesty and the underwear makes you buy clothes that are modest. they also have secret symbols embroidered in 3 spots

What do the secret symbols mean? What do you mean by the underwear makes you wear modest clothes? What’s soaking?

1

Anonymous jesusfreak_ 12w

the symbols don’t really mean anything. i’m sure there’s something written somewhere but it’s cheesy and unimportant the underwear is ridiculously long (almost knee length) and comes with a bra that is more like a t-shirt. so you have to buy clothes that cover them otherwise people will see them. soaking is mormon sex that teenagers think doesn’t count because they don’t move. the penis goes in and they just hold still until it’s soft. having a person shaking the bed doesn’t really happen

I feel like soaking does count... at least after hearing the explanation

Interesting. I don’t see how that would be worth it at all.

Anonymous #7 12w

oh it definitely counts lol. mormons frequently find very weird ways of justifying themselves because nothing about that church makes sense

1

Anonymous jesusfreak_ 12w

it isn’t worth it at all! the reason people stay is because the vast majority of members were born and raised in the church, don’t know anything different, and are scared of eternal punishment for leaving or asking too many questions
