Haven't been around so much lately. I feel sorry for what has happened to your son and how he is treated by those who actually caused his suffering. I can't tell you how to deal with the church or if it is a good idea to sue the sh*t out of their filthy butts. But I hope I can give you some comforting words for we are facing a TBI right now too. Well my DH suffered a TBI about a short tim

It was a pain when RS President into mlm crafting bs - she made some Shitty stuff each week mainly to promote her stuff. I always "loved" the gimmicky RS my forever and all time favorite will forever be the RS president who wanted us sister missionaries to hand out her "cute" tampon angels to inactive members with the Christmas party invitations. Nope I refused to do that.

We had an investigator and she came to sacrament meeting. It was August and we had around 90 degrees in the morning. She wore a sleeveless dress. It even hadn't spaghetti straps just no sleeves. No big cleavage, absolutely not "immodest" - however a sister felt that she was called to end this porn shoulder spectacle and thrown an left woolen jacket from the wardrobe over her shoulders.

I grew up in a no Mormon environment. I didn't had any mormon friends at school or even in my ward. I was the only one under 30 and over 15 for a long time. I only met other Mormons on stake activities and grew up pretty normal. Bishop felt awkward to ask about LoC during interviews and just asked once if I have anything to confess and if I think that I am virtue and worthy. I said no and yes I t

Guilty for making out during Sunday School and every effing chance we had in the baptismal fond with an Elder when I 19/20 - he stayed for 10 (!!!) months in my ward and we were more than just friends 9 of them. He was soooo "successful" in converting people (we actually had more investigators and baptisms then,than we had ever before) and was even made Zone Leader, MP was so proud and

For some there must be a high pressure to pop out baby after baby like if there's no tomorrow. And as a newlywed you get the pressure to fulfill your duty from family, friends, other other members and were called to serve in kindergarten to show them "what a blessing little one's are" - serving in kindergarten is the best argument to get your tubes tied. Seems to work, most of them wi

I just researched the largest weekly journals online "Spiegel" and "Stern", who have an online archive back to 50's or 60's. I scrolled a lot of articles, background information, witness accounts, political discussions etc. about this hijacking. No Dieter was mentioned. Not even once. Not even close. If he had an important role in this he definitely would have been mentione

I was the same. I needed an extra trip with the crazy train to lala-land to finally make a decision to get off of that track. I became very active for some months, got a TR again and was called into institute teaching. (after being inactive for years it was a spiritual decision by the SP I guess...) but you can't ignore all you have learned about it in the last years and you see things differentl

I hate it when they spam trough social media with their crap also my favorite turning a RS lesson into a mlm presentation - and after the lesson let the folks unobtrusive obtrusive know where they can bury their money. Most MLM have a cultish facet, that's why tbms are love them and can be successful with it. A lot of them went trough 18-24months of hardcore salesperson training... Mormon and MLM

Thanks so much for all your replies. Although it's painful it helps that I am not the only one who has to experience this. No it is not easy and a pain for all of us. Sometimes I think he believes that he is the one who has to rescue his apostate siblings and his social, coffee drinking and wine adoring Mormon mother, who never went again since they closed her ward, because she doesn't travel 40k

I am so mad right now. My brother and his wife went to the temple and did "the work"© for my loved grandparents. They baptized, confirmed and sealed my grandparents and did "their" endowment. Not only that they've ignored the will of my grandmother, she was a believing Christian who always said this church is bogus. My sister said that they should not do it, my mom said they

Asking out the neighbors is also a great tool for them. Right before Christmas two ladies showed up (turned out that they were RS leadership, with cookies) - we haven't been in contact with tssc for maybe a year, but I'm still listed in ldstools, Facebook etc, so if anyone has the need to get in touch there are ways to do it - we haven't been at home that day and they not only rang our doorbell l

We get this invitations regularly - although we are in Europe and don't have any plans to ever attend or even send them a gift from their target or BBB list (we don't even have target or BBB here!) Mostly from those who served here and they become smarter - a lot of them now also having an amazon wish list to loot some gifts.

As far as I can say it is a special Mormon thing to gush that hard. And they do it among their own. A so sweet we know us for 2 month but we ate going to get married pic makes easily 400-500 likes and causes tons of sappy comments. And you are the one who wins the Internet when you can provide a video of the most intimate and private moments like the proposal. The more it makes a non Mo cringe th

And not to forget that he sents Adam not only clean shaven in his face But also his chest is hairless - maybe that's why Eve is showing no body hair too, because she was taken from Adam hairless, waxed body. Or there simply were no body hair in Paradise and it's also part of the cast out to harden our lives.Who knows? It all will make sense in the afterlife, of course!

Yes what a sacrifice he made. He gave away his effing shoes and an effing suit. Its not that he has a bunch of them, paid by the money he got (ill-gotten with false promises) from faithful saints. He could've easily buy suits and shoes for the whole eastern Germany congregation in the Inter-Shop from the money that really poor people had blown in his A$$. Are we not all beggars?

Funfact: It is literally the same smell everywhere around the world. I was surprised when I came into the first church building on my mission and it smelled the same like home. Same goes for the bathroom. They all have the same nasty odor. So it must be something inside the units. Even after they renovated the building of my ward the smell came trough again immediately.

Things are getting funny when eager TBM parents name their kids after BoM characters and for sure we spell and pronounce it german. Your mocking and victim of bulling status is granted. I always thought really how can parents name their kid MORONi - and don't feel bad about? Isn't that obvious to them? However thanks for the 2nd link - lmao

It may be a lower number in total but our ward has the highest baptism rate they've ever seen . Unfortunately they dunked around 25 people in 2015 and already 6 since January #7 and 8 are going to be dunked tmr. #9-15 are scheduled for April. With this said, all of their convertees are refugees from Syria/Iran and Africa. And of course there are tons of them waiting to get baptized. They &qu
