i am genuinely glad that so many exmos have been able to accept their sexuality or gender after leaving the church, and have managed to unlearn the sexism and homophobia the church teaches. but have you unlearned the racism? have you taken steps to unlearn the racism?
it’s interesting that when you look up what the interior of a Mormon church looks like you only get like, one picture of an average church. The rest are of temples (only from the open houses) and historical buildings. The pictures you can find are fancy compared to churches I’ve been to (and they’re all of chapels, not of the rest of the building). I think it’s indicative of the church only really shows off the best looking parts of the religion. You don’t see the places an average Mormon person will spend a lot of their time because they’re not that pretty. You don’t learn about Joseph Smith’s wives because it’s too hard to explain. They don’t tell you about the temple or Mormon heaven because it’d make them look bad. They give you what looks enticing to pull you in.
(ex-Mormon voice): once I thoroughly kill the self that has been constructed for me I will uncover my secret true self that definitely exists and is developed despite the fact that my entire childhood was spent in an environment designed to prevent me from developing an identity beyond the group. What do you mean I have to make myself from scratch. Surely someone else will tell me who to be, there’s no reason why I should try and build my own personhood. What do you mean I haven’t gotten over my trauma
there's something deeply and uniquely hurtful about the cycle of abuse in cults I think. specifically in the type of cults that are generational like mine is.
a lot of cults burn really quick and fast, and die out in a few years, or a few decades, but the ones that last for generations screw up whole families and cultures of people in horrific ways.
trickle down abuse. multi level marketing abuse. my parents were not abusive. but they were, because they raised me in a cult. my parents were not abusive. but I was raised in a cult, which is in itself, inherently abusive. my parents chose to raise me said cult. but both of them were generational cult babies just like I was.
do I blame my parents? no... maybe.
It's way more complicated than anything I could ever answer. Can I blame them for how they hurt my siblings but not for how they hurt me? do I even blame them for how they hurt my siblings or am I just angry?
how can I rationalize the amount of trauma and baggage I carry, and will carry for the rest of my stupid fucking life, because of what they perpetuated?
and at the end of the day, I don't blame them. not really. but it's so much fucking easier if I do.

the exmo horror of being baptized at 8 years old because all the adults and kids around you were really excited and kept saying it would make God happy but then growing up and realizing how awful everything is about your religion but now you *can't* leave because once you're baptized you're forever spiritually Mormon and apostates are cast into an eternal void 'out of range of God's love' and the existential dread hurts more than just obeying
”it’s not church culture, it’s Utah culture!” Is such a fucking stupid argument. Utah culture IS church culture. The church literally owns Utah. Utah has the highest concentration of Mormons in the world. That alone should tell you that your argument is false. Idc how many nice Mormons you’ve met. It’s like saying “it’s not Catholic culture, it’s Vatican culture!”. An individual religious person can be nice to you without that making the entire religion’s culture good.
