Re: Graceful Transfer of Power
I'm here. I wonder if you will still feel that way when Trump wins. CNN just took Georgia and AZ away from Biden, as of 10pm 11/09/2020 There are others coming. You guys were so quick to cry Russia in 2016. We are crying Democrats. But this isn't a hoax. We have video, testimony, confessions, obvio...

Re: Attending my Daughter's Temple Wedding?
You literally paid cold, hard cash for access to the temple. Take what you paid for. I think it would be tragic to miss her wedding out of some kind of misguided sense of principle. Look at it this way - the Church doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously. If you miss the wedding because you feel like ...

Re: Letters to the Slackers
Why can't we just let adults be adults and run their own lives? :?: If they want to come to church, they know where we are. If we provide any amount of real meaning or utility then they'll want to come. On the other hand, if they've decided they're just as well off without hours upon hours of weekl...

Re: To share your doubts with your children or not, that is the question
I also refuse to take the blame for any of this. It’s not my fault joseph made it up. It’s not my fault the church has hidden the facts and white washed the narrative. I feel betrayed. This will always be my position - it isn’t my fault I was born into a fraudulent religion that none of the family ...

Re: The irony of being blacklisted
Seems to put the lie to the Brethren’s claim that “we are as transparent as we know how to be”.
When an organization punishes you for telling the truth, that’s a pretty big red flag. If you ask me, it’s time to get out of Dodge if you are in a position to do so.

Re: Rating the Q15 - list from Reddit
Ha! I like your list better RR. And I like your categorization system, because while everyone one of them fail to meet my decency standards as well, some are dangerous and some are just cogs in the machine. And of the dangerous ones, clearly Presidents Nelson and Oaks are the dangerous ones with the...

Rating the Q15 - list from Reddit
So it's been kind of quiet around here lately - I nicked the list below from Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/joug76/rating_the_q15/ ). Personally I think whoever did this was being pretty generous, I am curious about what the rest of you think: Here's my rating list, with explana...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?
A new record high today of COVID-19 cases in the US. CBS news showed a clip from 4 months ago of Fauci saying if the administration didn't start taking the virus more seriously we could see daily infection rates of 100,000 by winter. The CDC has a better handle on prophesy than the COB. How dare yo...

Re: The Best Two Years?
However it had it's negatives. I had problems with leadership abuse. I saw how popularity and ego worked within the church and how it could be used to hurt people. At one point, I came very close to getting sent home due to a zone leader who lied to the mission president about me. I was very bitter...

Re: Senator Mike Lee: Trump's another Captain Moroni!
I thought this tweet from Will Swenson was great: Screen Shot 2020-11-02 at 12.49.29 PM.png Perfect! All joking aside, the Church really should have spoken out about one of their religious figures being co-opted by an idiot politician. But hey, if the Church is OK with it, before long every politic...

Re: Ezra Taft Benson and Conspiracies
My TBM MIL is coming completely unhinged watching the current election play out. For four years she has been holding on to the delusion that Trump is the savior of American democracy and the constitution as a whole. Somehow, she completely disregards all of Trump's attempts to undermine the validit...

Re: The Best Two Years?
The crux of the matter is the church sends you out with the notion you are performing a great act, but in reality you are selling snake oil. And that is a bad deal anyway you look at it. No one should be coerced into selling a fraud. Its unethical regardless of the sometimes personal growth some ex...

Re: Elder Bednar's Latest B.S. Blowhardery
That is what scares Bednar. That is why he sows suspicion and mistrust regarding government and scientific regulations meant to safeguard the people. And that is how we know he is no loving prophet of God. He doesn't care for the safety of his flock. He cares that his time to reign will come and he...

Re: How to find a good marriage counselor
Well, my wife finally told me she wants to get a divorce today. I guess it is probably for the best. I don't think it has much to do with the church, but that may have been what pushed things over the tipping point. Things have been dead in our marriage for a long time.

There were other more orthodox testimonies and one of the ones tha...
