Legitimate *pro bono legal services* don’t exist without a good reason. In a few of the exmormon groups I’m in you’ll see regular posts saying stuff like “Look what my lawyer sent me today!” with a pic of their resignation confirmation letter from the church.
You know. Just stuff that a normal average church that is definitely not actually a cult would do. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
🙄
As an ex-mormon, I’m gonna look the fuck into this. I want nothing to do with the church that shaped so much toxicity about my self image and my sexual orientation.
Not sure if any followers need this but if you do, here you go.
Everyone should be able to choose their religious beliefs and community, and leave any that they find does not work for them.
Ex mormon here – this guy’s legit. The Mormon holds your files for eternity, and when they find out that you’ve moved to a new area, they will send members and missionaries from that region to harass you. I know this sounds like dystopic bullshit, but they followed my father through three moves before he rejoined the church.
Also ex mormon here who used this. It’s a ridiculously helpful service that is incredibly easy to use. They keep you updated throughout the whole process, and it’s totally worth it since the church doesn’t get to keep all your private information and pass it around once you resign 🙂
Hi! Most people know me as Vinn or Heather, and I have a very ridiculous cat named Socks. He likes being in the sink, trying to steal food off of my plate, car rides, and strings. He’s a handful, a little terror, a walking disaster, and I love him more than I can possibly say. He is also, right now, very sick due to having a blockage that has his bladder swollen to the size of my fist.
(Socks, being very good despite being scared at the vet)
After six months of struggling without having work, I’m finally employed again and have been trying desperately to catch up on my bills and get back on track with life. Unfortunately, life didn’t seem to get the memo. I had bronchitis that put me out of work for nearly a week, a thousand small emergencies, unexpected bills, and basically everything that could go wrong went wrong in May and June. And now Socks is sick and I have all of $120 to my name. I thought that this was a UTI, which $120 would have covered easily but oh boy, it was not. There are stones in his bladder that have to come out, immediately. Otherwise it could be a slow and painful eventual death. This wasn’t really an option.
(The estimate worked up for me)
The amount I was quoted at roughly was 589.68, and I was told that was a low estimate of potential costs. In reality, it’s probably going to cost anywhere between $600-$650, or possibly more, and after this Socks will need special food for a while. I fully intend to ask family to help as well, but I don’t know if they’ll have money- we aren’t exactly rolling in cash. Payment is due at time of pick up, which is the 18th of June, 2018 (06/18/2018). It’s an incredibly short time frame, and they won’t give me any sort of payment plan. It has to be up front.
(I know. Believe me, I like that information even less than you do.)
I love my little guy. He’s a terror, loud, destructive, and endlessly exhausting to chase around but my life is so much better and happier with him in it. He’s been a delight in my life while I’ve struggled this year with grief and unemployment, and I desperately want him home and happy. I’ve asked so much and been given so much, and I hate that I still need to ask more. But the kindness of strangers has sustained me and given me so much hope. Even if you just read this and can’t donate, thank you. My commission info can also be found here. Here’s a cute picture of this little demon of mine to help your day.
