The New unpardonable sin is, of course, denying the Holy Prophets (TM)! This is a particularly damning sin because it might mislead someone into following their intuition which might lead to following the Holy Spirit and thusfollowing God. This, of course, is a grievous transgression because if we follow God people will do whatever the heck they want to do because they can just say the Holy Spirit told me to, and we will all become Chad Daybells and Lori Vallows.

Just because lots of people do crazy stuff all ready and we wouldn't really be following the Holy Spirit if we did whatever the heck we wanted is no excuse for disobeying those 15 Nearly Perfect Men (TM) who you Can Always Trust (TM). Seriously, if God really wanted us to get revelation from the Holy Ghost would he have called our beloved prophet, even Rusty Marion Nelson?

Is this scriptural? Heck, yes. I mean you can't find it in the scriptures spelled out, but it's there in hidden code if you know what to look for. Like, when the Savior told his disciples that the Comforter would lead you into all truth, he was obviously talking about Rusty because what is more comforting than looking at pictures of Rusty swinging in a cardigan sweater, or skiing on a black diamond, wearing scrubs, or smiling with children sitting on his lap ( :shock: :? )? When the Savior told Peter that upon this rock he would build his Church he wasn't talking about revelation or Peter, he was talking about Rusty who was standing upon that exact rock in spirit form.

So what is the worst form of this sin? It obviously goes up in severity from the least experienced to most experienced guys in the Q15. Talking crap (stating the truth about Ensign Peak, investments in Big Pharma and social media, or child sex abuse in the Church) about these things is bad, but not nearly as bad as talking crap about Rusty or Lord Bednar. BTW, you will know how bad you've sinned when Bednar gets you with his intense rattlesnake stare and force chokes you to death, all while revoking your blessings (yes, really).

Hopefully, you have spiritually prepared yourself for this message by trusting in those men and the heaps of sacred loot they have amassed and never pondering about what they say and do. If you are so prepared, you will almost certainly get the many blessings you deserve.

Sorry for my rant and my attempts at sarcasm.

UB-

How do we 'know' or even believe you're sorry?

(I apologize for doubting / asking!)

BRAVO!


You really should edit out the 'sorry for the rant' at the end. That was excellent. Your third paragraph made me laugh out loud. Nothing is funnier than the truth.

Well said, I don't think you're ranting either. BTW, I googled Lori Vallow update, wow.

Here's a much shorter, to-the-point version:

Thou Shalt Not Make the Church Look Bad.

That covers pointing out the church's flaws to members, and getting caught doing things that damage the church's reputation in the wider world.

All I could do is sin [in Mormonism], just trying to figure out how not to, in an endless [stormy] sea of invisible forced sin-ambiguity & power punching so-called authorities (wearing ties)!

In reality, I am/ was the Saint & TSCC is the sin!

Unpardonable? Moemonism!
