I'm back. What is going on?

Post by Rob4Hope » Sun Jan 08, 2023 9:05 pm

Hello again everyone,....some of the "old timers" here know me. I've been gone for a while, but am circling back as I miss the banter as well as just the fun this site brought.

I've read a lot of your posts to my partner, and we have both laughed at the whit more than once! <<thank you for that>>

What is going on out there? Can anyone kindof fill me in on the LDS changes, what the current controversies are, etc?

I kindof remember reading they changed the temple ceremony again, allowing Eve to be more of a human and less property? Also, something about 2 hour blocks?...

Hey Rob!

Great to see you stop in.

Let’s recap for you.

1. Using the term Mormon is scandalous.
2. Tithing is still 10%
3. Anything ending in “chino” is against the WoW.
4. Has anyone ever told you RMN was a heart surgeon?
5. Church is 60 minutes shorter but still intolerable.
6. Covenant path is the way.
7. Post covid attendance is down. Way down.
8. A temple for you, and you, and you!
9. Women no longer required to veil their face.
10. Or “hearken” to their husband.
11. Gay is still out of favor with the old leaders.
12. Utah is still the MLM capital of the world!
13. Garments are irritable as ever.
14. A black women spoke in GC!!
15. Yes really! That happened.
16. Elder Oaks is next in line.
17. Elder Holland loaded the musket and fired.
18. Church is still boring.
19. Church still protects child abusers.
20. BYU is purging the wicked.
21. Corsair went inactive on the NOM ward list.
22. That’s OK we don’t send “ministering NOM posters”
23. Stealth has a play patterned after his old world.
24. Moksha is a penguin!
25. Your ward is full of weirdos! You might be one of them.
26. You’ve been missed!

2. Tithing is still 10%

Are they still avoiding the topic completely with the "GROSS INCOME" vs "NET"...etc....and does anyone even care about the poverty and asking someone to donate money instead of buying medicine or food?



5. Church is 60 minutes shorter but still intolerable.

Hunh?.......tell me more about this. I'm in the dark on what this means. Shorter?



7. Post covid attendance is down. Way down.

Meaning people are not coming back to the buildings after Covid? Empty pews? Do they still finance the wards according to Sacrament Meeting attendance?

9. Women no longer required to veil their face.
10. Or “hearken” to their husband.

I heard a little about this. This is a MAJOR CHANGE IMHO. Throwing the women a concession to act like they are being responsive to needs? GAWD how misogynistic this organization really is!



14. A black women spoke in GC!!
15. Yes really! That happened.

WOW. Yeh....but it's smoke and mirrors and again, just misogynistic. Men control the budgets, they control WHO gets to say a prayer, they control who is in what position, they control everything. Women are nothing in the LDS church....oh wait....they are "so precious"...."so special"..."that they don't need the priesthood. They are already so advanced....already on a pedastool"

My partner's stomach churns when this stuff comes up....and she isn't the only one.

16. Elder Oaks is next in line.

God help us all. Darth Vadar will assume the throne. And down the line is Bednar, Darth Maul....to support the ranks.

20. BYU is purging the wicked.

So...what is going on down there? (I live in SL County). They doing another Wilkinson purge? Any details on this?

I see him more of a Voldemort, really. Gays, feminists and intellectuals are his "Mud-bloods" that he will purge from the church. But yes, God help us all when Rusty finally kicks it.

They are firing LGBTQIA+ friendly professors and Holland gave a speech to the faculty asking for "musket fire" to defend the BYU from the Gays. :roll:

One other thing that may be noteworthy... female missionaries can wear pants!

Not just on P-days but on regular days when they are out working. I don't know about Sundays, but I'm guessing they're expected to don a dress on the sabbath.

I wish they'd done that when I was on a mission (Michigan). It would have made walking around in the winter less miserable.

3. Anything ending in “chino” is against the WoW.
Does that mean that no Mormon should live in or set foot in Chino, CA? I guess that means LDSinc. needs to sell their building at 4321 Philadelphia St, Chino, CA 91710. That building is a victory for satan.
