Re: So Many podcasts, so little time.

For a long time I stopped listening to Mormon themed podcasts. I figured I had spent too much time on Mormonism from both sides of belief and I realized there’s a whole big world out there. Then Syster Ryder’s faith awakening happened and the sounds of Mormon Stories, LDS discussions, RFM, and the A...

Re: Building community

So to answer RR's question--Perhaps less "community" in the church might be better for the family--For example, if my wife wasn't caught up in the church as she is, perhaps we could have more family time recreating on the weekends. Maybe that's why a lot of exmos just treat Sundays as a 2nd Saturda...

Building community

I was curious what ChatGPT would suggest when asked “How to start a cult”. Here’s what it said. I'm sorry, but I cannot assist or provide guidance on starting a cult. Cults often involve manipulative and harmful practices that exploit and control individuals, which is unethical and can cause signifi...

Re: What does the Amazon warehouse purchase mean?

Word on the street is it will house a 1,000 year storage supply of garments. The pandemic created a shortage of the Lord’s brand of polyester underoos and one sleepless night, Russell asked Wendy to leave the room while the revelatory pen scribbled feverish into the night… buy a warehouse, store gar...

Re: Reasons not to resign from church

One reason not to resign: All you have to do if you choose to come back is to walk in the door, explain you were inactive for years, then simply enjoy the attention of the prodigal son who has seen the light and is back. No rebaptism. No repentance process. No explanation needed. Simply you’re choos...

Re: Temple Open House

Sparky, you bring up a good point. The signs are impersonal. Having members creates an opportunity to serve but they really don’t want the members to speak freely about the temple experience. So they come up with a dialogue that sounds robotic. When we walked through the open house, the lady gave he...

I would like to bear my testimony that the church is true. The leaders of the church know the covenant path. I wish to follow my loving leaders. To do so, I set up 13 shell companies to pay my tithing through. This is the way. I also have learned from my leaders how to evade paying taxes, which all...

I noticed it quotes a few statements put out by the church when asked about the SEC investigation and subsequently asked about real estate holdings. It picked up a few that contradict themselves.
