by doing more good deeds. (By good deeds, they mean service to the cult organization, and not to their fellow man.)
I have had some veeeerrrryyyy interesting conversations with con-artists, and people involved in business frauds.
I wish I could locate an article in The Ensign I read once, that explains this balancing process. It also mentions repenting each time they take the sacrament, and "renew their covenants" for the next week.
My mother never used the words F--- or Cr-- or Sh--, but she didn't hesitate to call me and my brothers "Goddamned Brats" and threaten us, "God Damn You To Hell!" I ask you, which words are "taking the Lord's name in vain"? Telling a little child that God is going to punish her for not doing the housework right--I think that is far worse than getting a tattoo or a piercing. Yet, Mormons think that is perfectly OK. My father watched the abuse taking place, but he forced us to say our prayers every night. No wonder Mormons are so confused.
My mother used to accuse me of drinking, going to bars, and picking up boys, with my non-Mormon friends. We liked to hang out at one friend's house, because her parents were nice. We all lived in the same neighborhood. We would talk, play cards, dance, study, play music, cook, watch TV, etc. We were shy with boys, and none of us drank or smoked, and I only dated the little Mormon boys I grew up with. We were young and innocent at 16 and 17. When I told my mother she was lying about us, she slapped my face. She was Relief Society president at the time.
My ex-husband almost killed me, beat his sister, his second wife, and various other people. He spent time in prison for assault. Yet, he is still a "member in good standing," and has three temple wives now (or thinks he has). What a sick cult.
My pedophile relative bears his same, tearful testimony every month, and describes to me how sexy the nubile pre-teen girls in his Sunday school class are, and what he'd like to do to them. Whenever I've tried to warn anyone about him, I get laughed at. No one ever believed that he abused and tortured me when I was a little girl. Mormons deny abuse and protect abusers.
