Hahaha. That sums it up so well. And yes, the good sort of busy. Been doing art shows (just local, but still always an amazing feeling) and remodeling the house and working some overtime. Life is excellent. I will try and remember to check in here though because I miss the witty banter.

Hey everybody. Last week Lord Raptor mentioned to me that I should poke my head in and say hi because it had been a while, so this is me saying hi. You all are still lovely and I do enjoy our banter, but life has been hectic, work is busy, and my free time to screw around on the internet is incredibly limited. Anyway, I was on one of my random thrift store treasure hunts last week and came a

I have never met a group of people who lied more readily and without blinking an eye than Mormons. It's like they're programmed to spit out what they think you want to hear and saying what they actually mean is a afterthought.

It was made into a commandment by a later prophet who decided that Mormons didn't have enough rules making them feel unworthy. It was not written to be doctrine, but more as a set of recommendations for healthy living.

I don't need specifics or anything. Isn't the answer different depending on if they're being summoned for apostasy or breaking the laws of chastity or whatever?

Hahaha. I love how there's only one Mo on there defending against all the sarcasm. It must be because the Holy Ghost went to bed at midnight and they're all scared to be awake without him.

Well, that would explain why my cat thinks he's so much better than me. Awesome parable. I'm sort of in love with it.

I think God has taken a couple shots at the both of them, but unless there's an assassin that operates under the guise or cardiac failure and senility then I can't think of anything.

Man, I hope Google is God. Then when I have a question about something and the bible-waving ass-clowns tell me I need to turn to God for an answer then I can tell them I'm way ahead of them and that's always the first place I go when I'm confused.

""The end is not near", senior LDS apostle Boyd K. Packer said Saturday. Of course not! Why would you build a 3 billion dollar mall if Jesus is coming back soon? I can't wait when I return home from Uganda and shop at this fine establishment! Long live the City Creek Mall! It is something incredible that will change all of mankind!"

Hey, we live in the same town. I was out drinking last night and the girl pouring my drinks was an Ex-mo. We were doing temple handshakes across the bar and giggling a lot.

These are slightly different than the ones your SUPPOSED to use.

Does lithium make you less righteous? I get super duper righteous when my insomnia kicks up extra fierce. This happens once every month or two where I won't sleep for a few days and I hear voices and see shadow people and generally get twitchy and psychotic. Here I thought it was due to sleep deprivation, but it's good to know that it's Satan, and that he only seems to want me when I haven't

Can someone educate me as to why TBMs tend to hate BYU? I mean, I know why I hate BYU, but I'm not Mormon so it makes sense.

The church has clearly messed you up if you don't feel "Worthy" of complaining. The church likes to make you think you're not worthy enough for anything. If you wanna bitch then I say bitch. Unload, gripe, whatever. This isn't a contest to see who got the worst treatment at the hands of TSCC. You're out, you've escaped (congratulations), now stop feeling unworthy of anything.

Yeah, pretty much this exactly ^ I would only add that with a name like RM787 it's pretty much a given that he spent two prime years of his life forcing his belief on others.

You know what helped me to understand the crazy stuff my girlfriend would do? I went and found some books on temple marriage and chastity and virtue and stuff that were written by the church.

I'll play devil's advocate here. I was in a similar situation in that I'm a nevermo with zero interest in joining the church and who knew more about the Morg than my BIC girlfriend did. Luckily I never got dragged to church service because no sweet BIC Mormon girl brings her tattooed heathen lesbian girlfriend to sacrament meeting with her. Still, we would talk about the faith a lot and she lo

Can you enlighten us nevermo's as to what this whole Temple (guilt) Trip is about. Are they trying to get non-active members to go so they can feel bad about not being allowed in? Or are they inviting friends and family who aren't members at all so that they can feel offended that they're not allowed in, and possibly call a cab to the nearest bar?

J-Dubs and SDAs do it as well. Living prophets on Earth make people crazy. Also, Scientologists absolutely hang picture of L. Ron all over their homes. The J-Dubs are so similar to Mormons that they have a full on set-up of a dozen elders with one president who is the acting prophet and then essentially a quorum of seventy working below them. Their beliefs are different, but their power-struc

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. You know who else bitches about being called a cult and spends crap-tons of money on PR? Scientologists. You know what they have in common with the Morg? They're a multi-billion dollar corporation that thrives on creating an army of brainwashed drones willing to hand over all their money. I'm not saying the J-Dubs aren't just as culty as the Morg
