Re: FIGHT THE OLD DRUG: PURITY CULTURE
It's all a male heirarchy thing - hold males to the same standards as females, and that would take care of a lot of it. Equal in nurturing kids, equal in cooking and cleaning, equally yoked in providing and protecting. Me and mine are slowly moving there, no longer living in separate spheres. Naile...

Re: In tune with Satan?
Satan must get equal or even greater ground to God for TSCC to keep the minions in a correlated check. TSCC constantly reinforces obedience, compliance, guilt, fear, defining "love" and "sex" for everyone, what the "spirit" is and how it feels, telling you how you should feel in every aspect of your...

Re: Gendered God?
I guess the Bronze Age men who wrote the Bible found it pretty hard to imagine anything more powerful and impressive than a king on a throne who could cause lightning and earthquakes. If my personal experience counts for anything, I'd have to say that God is a multi-dimensional fractal jellyfish-li...

Re: Tales of Tithing Settlement
Hey, the Intergalactic Spaceship Nauvoo is not going to build itself. You will be paving the way for Missionaries in Space. Belters will just own that ship someday anyway. I think that will be a backdoor deal by TSCCorp. Then the top brass can collect the insurance and not have to drain anymore of ...

Re: Why are temples going Moroni-less ?
As a TBM I always had a bit of cogdis over the gold Moroni on top the temples, seemed a graven image to me, like the golden calf. Also, why the hell would TSCC be buying all that low lying land in FL with global warming?! I guess if they bought most of it more inland, the value could go up significa...

Re: Why does religion exist?
I think the previous posts here covered it quite well. Just a few brief thoughts: Tribalism is wired into our DNA. Religion and tribalism likely evolved together. Religion is a highly successful formula to control sapiens in groups larger than 10ish people, to try and ensure trust enough to make a f...

Re: I'm just angry tonight.
"Don't snort blow off hookers' backsides."
Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?
Reminded me of the Seinfeld where George has sex with the cleaning lady on his desk at work:

Re: An interesting way to look at the church's insane finances...
Thanks for posting up that link. I'd love to get my MIL to stop paying tiths on her retirement income that was already tithed when it was earned! The widows mite should stay in her pocket and not Rusty's huge golden vault!

Re: What neuroscience tells us about Mormonism

Re: John Larsen and the handcart horror story
Has anything really changed? Definitely the valuables for the top brass are more hidden, placating handcart pullers with care and support at the local level now. But if you are on your deathbed and an apostle shows up, instead of a hand on the head to get out of your bed, it will be a handshake and ...

Re: Who still believes in prayer?
After the faith crash I went all athiest and stuck to science for a couple of years, mostly still in that space. There was no tolerance for any monkey man made BS after begin fooled that bad by TSCC!

What a great thing it is, to see one of our friends here reach escape velocity with his family! Congrats!!! But as we all know, many years in that cult come at a great cost, mentally and financially.

Re: Afghan refugees coming to Utah
Maybe TSSC sees this as a way to gain some potential membership, fresh meat right here behind the zion curtain, cheaper place to do missionary work. I can see tithing bean counters figuring this out and doing their powerpoint to the COBlers. "Hey, maybe we just bring the non-members here and prosely...

Re: Is Trek gone for good? (I hope!)
Trek is just a big guilt/humility fest. See kids, you need to feel the pain of your ancestors and feel guilty about how easy your life is; you should be more faithful like them and tow the party line! Older generations love doing this to kids, pound on them about how we did things the right way or w...
