Apparently. Plus, if I were the woman, I'd want to be as low key as possible, especially for her son's sake. The last thing I'd want is to have my story splashed across the news & held up as an example for others. This is really f'd up.
Reminds me of an associate I know who left her husband because he stopped believing. No issues of violence, cheating, unkindness, etc. She wanted a "worthy priesthood leader" in her home.
To use a military expression, this is FUBR--fucked up beyond recognition! It's conceivable that the marriage was not working and divorce was the best option for the family. However, the way the DN portrayed it, it was the lack of religion that made the woman realize she needed a new husband. The news reporting of the DN lacks quality, probably because the only agenda is to promote Mormonism, at all costs. The Boner.
If this lady ever realizes the truth about mormonism, she'll have a very difficult time with that. I would like to hear how that all goes when her 18 year old son doesn't go on a mission because he found out the truth on the internet, and he feels so bad for his biological father.
Just thinking that might be how it all shakes out. Only time will tell.
I was once told by a missionary when I was pregnant "youre a really nice girl and perfectly capable of going to the celestial kingdom but your husband is holding you back" after hearing that I wanted a divorce (I didnt ask for one thank goodness) but the following week when I told the missionaries I was fighting with my husband and that he left and I didnt think he was coming back they were happy for me even though I was in tears. These people are just awful.
Most of the arguments my wife and I have had were somehow related to Mormonism or some inherent Mormon expectation/anticipation of admission to the celestial kingdom. My wife told me that one of the missionaries (an 18 yr-old boy) practically argued with her (a middle-aged woman) against marrying me for no other reason than I wasn't Mormon. She's very glad that she ignored the Elder's "advice".
thank you for welcoming me! that is exactly what our argument was about, he went out to watch a football game with his friends and when he came back he smelled like beer, I flipped out and told him he "wasnt mormon enough" for me. after our fight I realized how dumb it was and snapped into reality.
I don't think this crap is designed to make others like or trust them. I think it's designed to make them feel better about themselves. Normal people find this story repulsive.
There's 2.5 minutes of my life spent on information completely irrelevant to my existence. I would've gotten more spiritual nutrition from Kim and Kanye.
Interesting how Mormons can brag about blatant disobedience to scripture--
"13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
"14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy."
All those damn mormon buzzwords: "impressed", "principles", "gospel is true", "amazing".....and TITHING; she started her journey back into TSCC by tithing!!!!!!
"I just started with little principles. … I started paying tithing and seeing the blessings that came from it there,”
"I started paying tithing and seeing the blessings that came from it there" Notice how the article mentions **paying tithing*** and but does not specify the ***blessings***.
TSCC is always striving for the "show me the money" aspect of faith.
