a) Ammon and his father should both be in jail. You shouldn't get to initiate an armed takeover of a federally owned building and walk free. b) Grazing your cattle on federal land is freeloading. They want to use land without paying for it because they are cheapskates. Why, exactly, should they get ...

Best of luck in the belly of the beast. Don't make any compromises you can't live with.

President Nelson is a pig. But then, it's either vilify doubters or admit they can't answer their questions, so they always go with the former. Bunch of cowards. I promise you, I did more earnest study in my doubting period than most members do in a whole lifetime. And I finally settled my doubts - ...

There are a million legitimate reasons for leaving the LDS Church, but this one should rank high on the list. What kind of insanity is it that no one thinks twice about middle aged men alone in a room with teens asking sexual questions? Sam Young is a hero, and some of the stories he has collected a...

I've watched all but the last 10 minutes, Mormorrisey is right, the dude who thinks he commanded Hoffman to live makes Mormons look like real looney tunes. Richard Turley kind of ticked me off - when asked how prophets, seers, and revelators didn't have a clue Hoffman was conning them, he spouted so...

From the state department: https://2017-2021.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/ NBI can eat sh$t. Nice. Not sure this statement from the link is super definitive on the subject: "As the world continues to battle this pandemic – and as WHO investigators begin their wor...

You know, every so often I think of my parents and feel guilty that they are watching their grandchildren step off the Mormon path. But then I remind myself - I would not want to condemn my children to a lifetime devoted to a phony, self-important, unreasonably demanding religion. Why would I want t...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

I really hope no one here is buying the "stolen election" nonsense", I'd like to think we are all here partly because at some point we learned to recognize nonsense when we see it. And I definitely hope none of you are the types that are making suggestions of violence - this is America, we don't re...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
