I'll bet the "real" killers are breathing a sigh of relief from his relentless pursuit of them.

My brother did not attend BYU and still, as he put it, "dipped" his girlfriend in order to remain chaste. So not just a BYU thing, but a misguided mormon thing. Just add it to the list of whacked ideas they actually believe...

I remember in 1980 the Sesquicentennial being a HUGE deal! My stake held a "150th Anniversary Ball" with dancing and music from every decade, culminating in Disco Extravaganza!(that was the current music, kids...) There were live bands, combos as well as a DJ. I also seem to remember the satellite broadcast on April 30th FROM Palmyra... I doubt this will happen for the Bicentenn

I was on my mission from 1990-1992. Afterglow was considered inappropriate.

The answer is yes. To this day I cringe when i think about how I volunteered information because I thought they were inspired and my salvation depended on it. It's a sick, sex crazed cult and I am SO GLAD to be free of its insidious clutches.

May it spread the world over so Jesus can be relegated to the "Can you believe humans believed this nonsense?" category along with Zeus, Odin, Ra, etc.

Took off the G's and bought real underwear in 1997 because I was gay and sick of trying to overcome it, so I embraced it. That was 26 years ago. Found out TSCC was a steaming pile in 2006. 17 years ago. Thought about resigning, but didn't want to hurt my parents; the thought I might "come to my senses" and "return to the fold" seemed to bring my elderly mother comfort. N

I was a child, but I remember well! Also-we had sacrament in the morning at Jr. Sunday School Opening Exercises and then AGAIN at Sacrament meeting in the evening. Even as a child this practice made no sense to me. Why did we need it twice? In retrospect, this was probably the first thing to go on the shelf...

It’s all a distraction from the fact that the divide in this country is not left/right, it’s top/down. That, and they have no policy ideas, so they have to scare people into voting for them.

Being a trans woman and a publicity-seeking ratbag are not mutually exclusive. I can support Caitlyn in her transition, and find her an abhorrent human being all at the same time!

When I was "struggling with same sex attraction" and working/confessing with LDSSS and the Bishop, I was actively encouraged to date and find "the one". When I pointed out that this was inherently dishonest and unfair to any young woman involved, I was told that didn't matter. She would fulfill the measure of her creation by being mother to my children, so she would be fine

I'm sure my still believing family use me when the topic of "lost sheep" benefits the lesson/HT message/testimony meeting. Who cares? I only hear from my estranged TBM brother the first weekends of April and October. Hmmmmmmm....

I decided to not formally resign as a statement. "I am OUT and I don't care what you do or don't do with my "records". I refuse to submit to ANY "process" that is designed and administered by this sham of an organization!" They had power over me from birth through the age of 27. I took my power back. Or, in the words of Glinda: "You have no power here! Be

My MP also wanted us to only attend sacrament mtg if we did not have an investigator. My comp and I decided to "check the competition" and went to other church services instead of tracting. Much more interesting. And the music was infinitely better!

I was told not to take the sacrament and threatened with disfellowship if I continued to pleasure myself. Not to mention my "same sex attraction". It wasn't until i disfellowshipped myself, started to live my life authentically, and stopped giving them any power that I realized THEY are the weird ones. Joke is on them, as the very things they told me to avoid and change were the k

I never officially resigned as doing so would have killed my TBM parents. Now that they have passed, I don't wish to give TSCC any more power over me. I'm out. I don't care if they acknowledge it or not. Besides, continuing to be on the books means I throw off their attendance averages weekly!

Just got back from a trip to SLC, after not having been there for about thirty years. Walked around City Creek (to see where my tithing money went), as well as the conference center since i'd never seen it. The whole place just screams "CULT!"

and only on Fox is this considered "news" , complete with "expert testimony" of some other deluded jesus freak who claims it happened to him too. They probably also believe the earth is flat, the government is full of satanic pedophiles and the orange cocksplat won the election. Poster children for sterilization.

Chances are there was a talk where one of the crones said something like: "reach out to your lost sheep and invite them to tune in to feel this wonderful spirit.. blah blah BS blah" I only hear from my TBM brother when he's guilted into it by some talk he heard. I refuse to be a story for testimony meeting. Holy ghosting is right!
