I think I haven't post anything since October, well some things happened since then.
First my bishop called me for a "baby come back" interview, I accepted to go but I told him that I don't believe in the church anymore, that the church lies about its history and that I don't believe in LDS prophets anymore. then he said the classical "pray and ask the spirit, I accepted and did it (and of course nothing happened).
After that I told him "nothing happened Bruh", he replied with "you must have patience, you'll have the answer" and some days after that he text me telling me to read Moroni 10 and meditate about it and pray again, but the spirit didn't tell him that I submit my resignation six hours before LOL (then my mother ask me to help her to resign).
All is well now LOL.

Nice to hear from you, luckylucas.

Yeah, same old line -- pray until you get the "answer" we want you to get. If you don't get it, it's your fault -- you're not doing it right.

Such BS.

Pray again, but with a sincere heart this time. ;)

That's what I was told by a missionary when I told him I had tried Moroni's promise and got nuthin'. I don't need that from a kid who's almost young enough to be my grandson.

I wouldn't go into their realm or let them into mine.

The cool-aid went rancid and no amount of prayer will fix it.

So you are supposed to read Moroni 10 and then ask the God "if these things are not true"?

Even the church doesn't claim it to be true anymore. I mean it says what we have been taught about the origins of the BOM are not true. It admits the events in the BOM may have never happened. It disavows at least some of the "theories" that are taught in the BOM. But yeah, other than the origin, events, and teachings, God is supposed to tell you it is true...

Pray until you agree with them, dammit!

(Notice he didn't tell you to go study church history.)

Glad things are going OK for you, and your mom too! What a hoot.

In the meeting I told him that TSCC lies about its history in LDS.org's essays and in apostle's speeches. So it would have been weird if he asked me to study church history LOL.

You could always tell the bishop that Satin came to you and told you that the church isn't true. So if the church really is true, god will either have to take it up with Satin, or else he will have to tell the spirit to speak-up a bit.
