people are funny, what they view as home territory and what's not as far as they are concerned.
I knew this one person. They had a couple of kids, a boy and a girl. This person hoped the son would go on a mission, despite the fact that the person was treated very poorly by the church. The son was skate boarder, he dropped out of high school and got his girl friend pregnant, among many of the girls he was having sex with. he smoked, he used pot, he liked to get drunk, he had experimented with homosexuality. not exactly the model prospective LDS missionary. .....unless he could lie about and deny all this stuff and then they'd make him an AP ! but he wasn't a much of a liar either.
One day I said something about the church that was not complimentary, you know, something that was true. This kid got all pissed and wanted to fight because I was making fun of his church. now it needs to be factored in that I
NEVER did any of the stuff he had done. Appearance wise, I would fit right in at any LDS meeting. I was such a straight arrow that I did not even have get my hair trimmed any shorter to go on a mission, AND I had money saved up to pay for the stupid thing.
NOW I have to listen to this brainless little jerk rush to the defense of "his" church, even though he'd never lived up to LDS standards in any meaningful way.
I didnt waste any time arguing with him, but I did tell his parent that it was humorous. From my TBM family's perspective this kid is not even considered a real member of the church, inspite of any LDS ordinances that were done. Hell, when I was a MORmON, I basically did everything that LDS INC wanted right down the line, and somehow I still came up short of being a really "good member", because there is always some more hoops to jump through.
That having been said, there are a few ppl here who are still a lot more MORmON than not, they frequently rush to defend LDS INC and MORmONISM, and they only think they have left the church
while they are still pretty much really MORmON. They are still pretty much in a MORmON mind set. I wish they'd just figure it out and finally actually quit, or just go back MORmONISM and leave alone the rest of us who have actually quit MORmONISM.
The fact is that they are such idiots that the MORmONS dont even want them, and even the MORmONS dumped them, so we got stuck with them. Its just a very few ppl, but it shows up quite readily that they are really still MORmONS!
When a Never Mo makes the mistake of defending MORmONISM to me, and insists that I *obviously* don't know anything about MORmONISM, I just automatically make them into MORmON for their effort. If LDS Inc can do it with dead ppl, then I can do it with braindead live ppl who are stupid enough to defend MORmONISM.
