Ex-mormon here. Funeral potato’s were a staple dish growing up. Now in some bars here in Utah they do a spin off of it and do deep fried Mormon potatoe balls! So good! I wish her all the success!

I grew up Mormon, went to an all girls Catholic School in a small city, there is no comparison. I was bullied and excluded for being Mormon.

I’m a membresía of the church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints (Mormon church) and my education was completely different. I have never been told were I should study, who I should marry, and I personally never was told not to ask about sexual topics, actually, my mom encouraged me to feel comfortable to approach her whenever I has questions about it or anything. Nothing in the church is a secret, they’re sacred covenants with deep meaning for the ones who make them and for the Lord, we’re told to seek and w’ll find oye answers if we sincerely wish to do so. I’m really sorry you went through all of those unfortunate experiences, I don’t personally know you, but I can’t help but to think how hurt your heart must be after all those problems, but in your case I think the issue was your social circle, and more than that people that taught you their ideas instead of what the Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ wants for you.
I respect your decision of stepping away from the church, but please remember that He loves you, no matter what, the Lord will alwaysbe there for you. The reason I’m a part of His church is because I’ve felt His love and I’ve seen Him make many miracles in my life, my testimony of His love and plan for us is what has helped me stay faithful, regardless of what other people say.
Sending you lots of love! ❤️💕🫶🏻

"Opressive religion"...hilarious! I guess you can't leave when you're Mormon or Catholic... oh, wait... you can. So oppressive.
