Ask the TBM to give you an example of said miracles.

I thought exact obedience brought prison camps, gulags and holocausts.

Ergo, if you don't receive a miracle or even a blessing, it's because there's something wrong with you. YOU weren't obedient or valiant enough. The whole thing induces guilt and feelings of inadequacy.

It is funny, sincerely, funny as hell, but.....

Heartbreaking too.

Some of us, perhaps many of us, have people still in the cult, many people in the cult, to whom this is Gospel.

Obedience.

What an absolutely pathetic virtue, and yet Mormonism demands it from our loved ones. It used to demand it from us, and somehow for sin or virtue we decided to disobey, come what may.

Sand through the hand.

Let it go.
