I’m a 27 y/o female but when I was 20-21 I served a mission in another country for the Mormon church where I had a rigid schedule and proselyted with another sister companion all day every day. Incredibly strict rules and hard lifestyle. I’m still an active member. I know a lot of people find our religion interesting so thought I’d throw this one out.
I served an 18 month mission for the LDS (Mormon) church. AMA

Was just thinking it’s been ages since I’ve seen a Watchtower pamphlet and then realized different group.
How many women did you sleep with?
Can you explain what the special garments are for? Does everyone wear them all the time?
Do you actually believe the doctrine? Or are you an active member more so because of your family and community?
I live in Utah and always find it wild how many Mormons don’t know or don’t believe the actual belief system of the church
Still in the religion?
Hello!
the LDS Church has approximately $265 billion in assets. Do you think its moral for them to hoard that much money while they have enough to end homelessness across the entire nation?
How do you personally feel about Black people?
I’ve heard something about getting your own planet? How does that work?
Why did the Mormon god hate black people until 1978?
Thoughts on the Broadway musical Book of Mormon?
I only ask, because I was naive and went up to a Mormon friend of mine and told him I just watched the musical, and he kind of just ignored the comment.
How to feel about someone like myself. I was raised Catholic but never felt faith. I use to think there was something wrong with me.
I would pray and feel no connection. What about you?
If Jesus is a created being how do you explain John 1:1-3? I know Mormons claim the New Testament as inspired, but it seems that part of the New Testament contradicts LDS teachings that Jesus was created. I’ve always wondered how LDS people solve that
Where were you a missionary? How many people did you convert and are they still active in LDS?
How do you feel about the church denials? Example: the topic of polygamy and the number of wives Brigham Young had.
Do you believe you are a pawn in a cult?
Why is it that only Mormons know how to make good funeral potatoes? 😂
I thought the coffee thing was cleared up, that it’s hot drinks, not caffeine per se. That’s what I was told by Mormon friend. Good people btw.
This is morman wives show one and not the warren Jeffs one, right?
Do you even realize that you are in a toxic CULT!? They are holding your emotions hostage as you know what will happen if you become an apostate; which is exactly what you should do but to afraid to because everything and everyone you know will change. They will shun you, reject you, etc. Sick, vile, destructive CULT!
For reference, I was indoctrinated into the Jehovah’s Witness CULT at age nine. Good times. FUCKING CULTS!!! Get out now…
Did you infact almost destroy the church?
