I got out of the Mormon church real early, but one of the hardest things to shake from my psyche is utter distrust of people in any form of position of authority, or any type of group. Looking back on all the lies and facades that are the backbone of Utah Mormons, I can see how I became so skeptical. Does anyone else here think that Mormonism has made them distrusting? Or even question basic

When you enter Europe they give you a visa. That is the stamp they put in your passport. The Visa is only good for a certain amount of time before you are in the European union illegally. If he showed up and received a tourist visa in his passport then he may have overstayed that visa. Some countries require you to apply for a visa before you arrive.

Most people that are not living in Utah, are amazed by this article. But growing up in Utah it does not surprise me at all.

I understand how yo feel about giving ou your number. If you have a smart phone, you always know who is calling you. If you dont recognize the number, just dont answer. If there are particular people you dont want to talk to, just assign them a silent ring tone, and you wont get bothered until you check your voicemail.

I will always associate Mormons and Utah with poverty. One of the reasons I read/post on this board is because so few of my friends can comprehend the level of poverty and ignorance I endured as a youth growing up in Mormon Utah. The whole Mormon thing is just to ridiculous to try and explain to people in the normal world. And Mormon poverty? Not to many people can relate to me hand loa

It still boggles my mind that they were able to spend 5 billion on a mall in Utah. Has this number been fully confirmed? I'm a project manager by trade and I work with some big budgets, and I just don't know how they could spend that much. I think I could have St Peters in Rome dismantled and shipped to Utah and rebuilt for less.. Compare the costs of the mall of america expansion..

I told my dad the morg was a cult, and he defended the mormon church, even though he is out. My dad was the last hold out after each member of our family left one by one. I was the first to go, then my mom and siblings. My dad finally stopped going after he realized he could no longer use the church to control us.
