TBMs have been silent about Tommy's passing

I don't know if this is true across the board, but none of the Mormons on my Facebook friend list have posted anything about Monson kicking the bucket. They all posted about Hinckles and tore their garments in mourning for Mrs. Monson, but nothing for the big cheese himself.

Sadly that has not been the case for my Mormon Facebook friends. I am resisting responding.

Re: TBMs have been silent about Tommy's passing

They're all waiting for fast and testimony meeting this Sunday....I'm dreading it. Lots of tears and then there will be the follow on "I know..." garbage related to the new guy.

I've watched Monson since I was a kid and I thought he told fun stories when he spoke at conference. But I'll be the last one to intimate that I knew the man. And I don't grieve for him any more than I would grieve for anyone else I never met.

I don't know how people make it so personal. It's almost like what they do with celebrities....creating an intimacy that doesn't exist.

Not the case from what I have seen. In fact I am going to say that I do not need to go to church this week because I have read everything that will be said at fast and testimony meeting on Facebook.

That seems to the case with my TBM family. Nothing from them.

I haven't seen any of my mormon friends post anything about it. Not that I have many mormon friends these days, but I have a few.

Re: TBMs have been silent about Tommy's passing

Around me and my children, it's been almost like a Mormon gag-order. It's part of the Mormon shunning. My Mormon former friends didn't tell me about a neighbor dying, either. These things are just too sacred for the likes of us apostates. We might smile, and sully their enjoyment of mourning their Holy Prophet of God.

I'm amazed that any Mormons dare to read RFM, right now.

Electronic billboards along I-15 in Salt Lake and Utah Counties have, “President Thomas S. Monson, in Memoriam.”

Because these are electronic bbs, ads for joining the Marines and personal injury lawyers flashed afterwards. Truth in advertising!

Re: TBMs have been silent about Tommy's passing

Only a few Mormons on my FB list have posted something about Tommy's death, ranging from just sharing the Des News article, to a lengthy post about him in the written form of what you hear on Fast Sunday. The person who posted their "testimony" with a picture of him is someone who quickly got engaged, married, and pregnant in less than a year after returning from her mission. The first child was born just a month shy of their first wedding anniversary.

Lots of people are offering a moment of silence after pulling the tabs on their Pepsi's.
