Making fun of the 15 Depends wearing old and limp effers.

You lied to me, now the gloves are off.

You despicable doucebags.

Just saying...

Freedom!
!

sex without guilt!

Living by my own rules. If you know anything about me you know I hate rules so living up to my own is tough enough.

A fantastic sex life with my nevermo partner.
A relationship where I am not expected to marry within th first year
shopping on Sunday.
A two day weekend.
Getting drunk.
Having real friends.
Letting go of guilt.
feeling genuinely happy and therefore realising that "non Mormons can never be truly happy" was just one more lie.
Freedom.
Not caring what other people think of me.
Wearing sexy clothes
Showing my shoulders/knees to the world.

Knowing that the cult will never get their hands on your kids or grandkids.

Having no guilt about doing normal things.

Not being mormon. :)

a chance to find out if real happiness exists.

Everything! Just waking up in the morning improved dramatically.
Everything felt shiny and new suddenly. Becoming Exmo is the ultimate baptism.

But if I have to narrow it down to just one word I would have to say Coffeewinesundaysfreeandgettingmymindback.

I am so happy! As a young Mormon, I had a view of the world and the spiritual world as being mostly against me. I imagined myself surrounded by evil spirits and a God who wanted them to tempt and test me.

Now I see the world and the possible spiritual world as being very much for me. I am surrounded with Love and Light, and Life is an adventure. Mistakes are opportunities. Bad things happen a lot, but there is still goodness around that rises naturally, organically. Goodness in myself doesn't have to be forced from obedience to a rigid set of rules or bargaining with God by making covenants(although following rules can be wise). I don't have to suffer to prove my worthiness of good.

A 10% raise; my weekends back; and cuter underwear.

Cuter than LDS garments? That's hard to imagine. :)

My very own list of options, some of which, not too surprisingly, would be acceptable to TBMs. But it's my list of options and whether or not TBMs approve, I do what I please.

...no religion too.

Not having to do mental gymnastics trying to make sense out of things that make no sense

Freedom.

Free agency. Their concept, my implementation of it.

Sundays

Cognitive resonance!

I'd say the best part is love and happiness, openness, and freedom, which comes along with the wisdom of shedding burdens and releasing shackles (of guilt, coming from the lies and deceptions of TMC).

.....is not having to try and make bad and twisted theology make sense....

Mormon theology is weird and makes no sense

Not being told by others how I should live my life, as if they really knew.
