I had a clean the church calling and I heard it all the time. I'd ask people to help and they would say what a spiritual experience it was to vacuum the chapel.
spiritual experiences. Oh my! Steve Benson posted some "spiritual experiences" that I believe Oaks and I think one of my old favorites--It came to me. Neal L. Maxwell. The experiences were ridiculous as a way to talk about spiritual experiences. And they are/were GAs!!
I can have more a spiritual experience while mowing the lawn that stuck in a smelly church vacuuming.
as we all know & understand, ChurchCo uses - manipulates language & other forms of communication to indoctrinate members & others both investigators & the public at large to fit there agenda; honesty and complete truthfulness aren’t their top priorities.

There's no such thing. It's a made up term. Like the woke joke that went broke!
Active - vs. PASSIVE - Mormon you mean?
There are MANY Mormon oxy-morons but I've little time, ATM... I'll give you one.
However, to start with, MORMONISM is an oxy-moron, in a nutshell!
Here it is... You ready?
°Apostate° = Mormonism Is In Apostasy... So former mormons (formons) are NOT in apostasy.

The first thing to remember about an activist is that they are a grassroots campaigner. They are not someone who is already a celebrity, or wealthy, or sponsored by wealthy, powerful interests. An activist is not someone whose views happen to dovetail with those of the ruling class. Genuine activists get barely any publicity early on in their campaigns. If someone happens to be, say, a little girl from Sweden, who gets endless mainstream media coverage, an appearance fee at the ultra-elite Davos conference, and also backs their plans for higher taxes and restrictions on movement... then she is not really an activist but a shill.
The Ultimate one is the pure and chaste Mormon lifestyle members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints are expected to follow...while realising the character of their founder!
If that isn't irony then I really don't know what is!
"A choice land above all others...And behold, it is wisdom that this land should be kept as yet from the knowledge of other nations; for behold, many nations would overrun the land" -- the Nephites/Jaredites/Mulekites were a small group that intermarried with the existing population of millions and thus their DNA disappeared.
