.... or something else other than a Profit, how do you suppose your life would have been different? (Yeah, yeah, butterfly effect and blah blah blah and you probably wouldn't even exist at all, but just humor me here).
I suspect I wouldn't have been so obsessive-compulsive and codependent for so much of my life (mostly in the Morg but for some years after too). The trying to constantly measure up, worrying non-stop about what leaders and others thought of me... it really screwed me up, and it's only in my post-Mormon life that I've been able to get healthy, thanks largely to some great counseling.
I'd wager my dad and I would have had a few beers together, and would have been able to spend a lot more time what with the callings he wouldn't have had. He's always cared a lot about his kids - just never had enough time for them what with the paces TSCC put him through. Anyway, I'd probably know him a lot better.
How about you all?

He'd have been schtupping young fillies instead of teenagers.

He'd be slacking off and tricking other people into doing the work.....sort of a Tom Sawyer character but with worse morals
He'd be putting shoes on Tapirs...
I would have had a life instead of membership in a cult.

He could have made his own flaming sword.
Now that is funny rutabaga!
I was thinking about that just the other day.. how I spend many more hours with my son than my dad spent with me, mostly because all his non-work hours were absorbed with church business.. wow, the church really sucks the life out of people.

I wouldn't be reading this thread.
He would have been lucky - there would have been iron & steel in North America by then.
He'd have been banned from the Priesthood...
I don't think my idiot father would have been less of an a-hole without Moronism. But hey, freeing up my childhood Sundays sounds like a bonus. And I did a lot of work for the church on Saturdays too. So yeah, at the very least, Joe Smith ruined my weekends growing up. It would be good to get those days back. I'm gonna charge TSCC for those hours somehow, perhaps by means of mockery?
Face it we would all be posting on Ex-somecult or another because no matter what we are now our ancestors and relatives are gullible rubes who would have fallen for something. Joey jr just got to them first.
