[@LockeDemosthenes2]

Ex-Mormon here. Starting out with hard liquor as your first alcoholic drink is SUCH a horrible idea. It's better to ease into it with beer, wine, or sweet cocktails. My first alcoholic drink was Shock Top, which was a perfect choice. As a side note, alcoholism amongst Ex Mormons is unfortunately SUPER common. When we're prohibited from using something our whole lives, it's not surprising that we overcompensate later in life, and that can lead to addiction problems. Sex and porn addiction tends to be pretty common too, for the same reason. Just remember, use moderation and common sense when transitioning from high demand religion.

[@xtro153]

My dad mourned me like I had died when I started wearing pants. These parents out here need some serious therapy. 😅

[@SlapSister]

I come from a similar background. I was 20 when i lost my virginity and my dad could barely speak to me for years. Both my parents response was deeply emotionally abusive and scarring. My dad thought I had lost my value as a human being because I wasnt a virgin anymore. My mom sat me down and called me a slut over and over in my face, even though I had been dating the guy for an entire year and was 20 years old not living at home..... Not only that but being indoctrinated by these beliefs gives you a complete loss of identity once you start doing things you were supposed to never ever do that 'define' your value as a person. Your identity is formed by all the things you dont do in those communities, but life happens and once you start entering adulthood its like you have no idea who you are anymore, because youve done the things you defined yourself as never had done. If that makes sense. My heart goes out to that girl. I hope she reads this and knows shes not alone.

I also grew up in a strict independent Baptist church my whole youth. This really helps people like us that are struggling to transition to a normal life outside a cult. This was cute!

[@jumpstreet2425]

Depends on what you call normal.

[@jumpstreet2425]

@Miriam Svenson every religion aint no cult. 😂 just because more people are moving to be free spirited, open relationship, plus whatever. Dont mean its normal. Example: man and woman reproduce. Not man and man or woman and woman just example. Only 1 will make babies. You can choose to be nice about things 😂... The first comment called religions a cult basically... Alot of things are not normal today simple.

[@naadilee1316]

@@jumpstreet2425 sex is also for pleasure and not solely for reproduction. Any combination (man and man or woman and woman) produces pleasure for the consenting individuals. Also not everyone wants to have kids.

[@CactusJack252]

I know exactly what that girl is going though. Even though I'm a guy, my dad was very very controlling. The best thing I did was leave the house not to long after my grandma passed. She lived with us at the time, and I only stayed because I was forced to take care of her by myself during the day.

[@emilieclarke5074]

One of the wildest experiences is when you're a kid and you go to your friends house... and their family does things totally differently. It expands your mind. I feel like they're experiencing this in a different way!

[@90MysteriumFascinans]

Interesting point! Also makes me realize that I was probably somewhat lacking in that during childhood. Makes me think!

[@ChiefsFanInSC]

Giving a first time drinker a shot of vodka is INCREDIBLY irresponsible. Vodka shots should be avoided at all costs. Give them some good mixed drinks.

[@phunkyphresh3799]

My first drink was a homemade hard cider I made from apple juice, champagne yeast, and sugar. I let it ferment in my dorm and when I tasted it I almost threw up. I poured the rest into the toilet. I tried a few shots of bottom shelf vodka a day later and the first thing I thought was “Jesus this is so much better than my hard cider”

I’m a Ex-mormon grew up in a mix of Mormon and Shinto Buddhist environment. My family had always been quite lenient on tea and alcohol. Glad my parents were pretty supportive when I told them I don’t feel like going to church anymore.

Nothing but respect for them both. Subscribing to a belief system for yourself is one thing but imposing said restrictions on your children is unnecessary. Wishing them both happiness and love within all their future endeavours 💜

[@shoelacedonkey]

They both seem like strong, openminded & kind people. I truly hope that their family becomes less rigid and strict about their believes and won't shun them simply because they went in a different direction when it comes to faith or ideology. I come from a strict protestant reformed background and left when I was 18... after a difficult 5-6 years my family slowly started to let me back into their lives a bit again. We're fine now (over 2 decades later). Also, the churchbench was a nice touch :D

[@itsthemaggieshow]

As a mormon myself, this reminds me of the time I first tried coffee

It's hilarious how you can seriously tell it's their first drink too. Taking a whiff of a full shot of vodka and not even wincing but calming describing its smell. No bad memories attached to induce nausea.

[@Ceerads]

I’m an atheist so I wouldn’t discourage anyone from leaving their religion, especially fundamentalist religions (I’d also never presume to encourage anyone to leave). But what’s with encouraging people to drink? Alcohol is a carcinogen for many kinds of cancer. I used to drink moderately, and even now I’ll have a beer or glass of wine, but very infrequently, but alcohol is bad. Cut seems to love getting people to drink hard liquor. Why? I know it’s so much fun to get high from alcohol.

[@reshvndra]

Overreacting 🙄

[@Ceerads]

@@reshvndra I had breast cancer, 23 years ago. I’d been binge drinking every Friday night with friends. I know there are many causes of b.c., and I can’t say definitely that my drinking caused it, but it’s known that alcohol is implicated in having a cancer develop. I think I’m not at all overeacting.

@@reshvndra Thank you. I’m sorry I played the cancer card, but my doing so comes from concern.

@@dvdemt5678 Thank you. Religion is fine, except when it’s used as a rationale for controlling those who don’t ascribe to the rules and beliefs of its followers. Then the religion becomes a weapon against the unbelievers.
