The Mormonism that Mormons love. The beliefs, stories, doctrines, and history are no longer taught. It is being deleted and denied. It is not doctrinal. It is not in the manuals or the apologetic mealy-mouthed essays. The books are no longer in print. The BOM is quickly being downgraded to fan fiction, the POGP is now inspired and no one knows what the words "translated from ancient Egyptian

The new version of Mormonism makes people discussing their revelations, doctrine and teachings look like fools: Mormonism just needs you to stop talking and just listen to the still small voice, the undertone to every talk, message and recent book: The doctrine is this; the church is true, so just keep paying and listening to this message, that is what makes it true.

I grew up in catholic schools. One of the many teachings that I found profound in that religion was the emphasis on sins of omission. I remember the priest emphasizing that these types of sins determined our character and what kind of a person we would become. I see the Pope revisit many of the same ideas in his speeches and I am glad that so many people have reacted to this message. Some are cal

So true. I have a friend that has a junker jeep liberty that can hardly run a day without breaking down. He assure me its trail rated.

We don't let our kids play with them. These Mormon latchkey kids just show up in people's yards. Its not a huge problem, just that the parents are so clueless and the disparity between how they see the world and reality is enormous.

We did, in a way. They saw our Utah plates when we moved here and they saw us drinking wine at the neighborhood party. I though they were going to cry.

I live in Washington state. We have a group of kids in the neighborhood that play together 6-11. They are all well behaved. Except for the 4 Mormon kids in the group. Coincidently their parents are under the impression that their kids are the role models of the group and the best behaved. Parents: the church does not raise good kids for you, it only raises kids who can sit still in a tie or dr

One thing my dad learned about working for them was that for every dollar they donated, they spend 3-4 times that amount in publicity for it. They wont even donate a day's worth of interest on their enormous fortune to help the hungry, needy, sick and destitute. No wonder other churches don't consider them christian.

Following GC, the LDS leadership announced that the church is donating 2 billion dollars to help single mom's around the world pay their bills until the pandemic is over. They are donating 1.5 billion to help make masks and other medical PPE. Missionaries are to help disinfect and help deliver groceries to the poor and needy. Just kidding. They just waived their handkerchief to signal ju

I'm not talking about gas lighting. Im talking about, up front misrepresenting what they are doing. Yes gas-lighting is a foundational doctrine of the church. Bit they also misrepresent everything they do, THEN they tell you it did not happen.

Nothing infuriates me more than a church that has made an empire of money, tears, dead bodies and heartbreaks through lies, suddenly making claims of being misrepresented. There is a special kind of abuse that the church is built on an that is "misrepresentation". The entire set up is thrust upon unsuspecting victims without proper consent.

I stand, with my mercies fully tendered, at the mistakes Nelson offers me. Confused at the nonsense he prophets me, I tremble to know that I once took this guy seriously.

There is a place in my heart that glows with contentment on sabbath. It starts when I see a Mormon I know at the store on Sunday. The Spirit fills me with unspeakable contentment when I realize that they are trying to avoid making eye contact and, almost in a supernatural rapture I chase them down and talk to them. I am not fluent in the Adanic language so let the king's English, in its lim

My father worked for the church construction department in the 80's. Temples are a way for stakeholders to receive dividends. If you research who the contractors are, it is always leadership-owned comanies like Zwigg (the 70), and others that hold shell companies (Romneys, MCKonckies, Farnsworths, Oaks, etc). They launder millions and get paid as members gush about the new temples and it

could not agree more. Delhin literally lives off making the cowardice and hesitation a genuine moral position. He tried it. He was willing to stay after finding out it was racist, chauvinistic, exploitative falsehoods...as long as he got to to cash in on it.

Two things that we need to always remember: Please remember that before Dehlin there were thousands of people, some who paid with their lives for leaving, remember the 19th wife, William Law, Steve Benson, Eliza Young, really too many to name. Please remember that Dehlin KNOW it was racist and chauvinistic and not true AND still wanted to stay as long as he got to run his business.

Mormonism cannot exist in the light. They may try to create a suspension of reality and call it faith, they may denounce the internet, gas-light all day, and play the victim card. But those cards are worn out and cannot exist in the reality of DNA evidence, historical facts and heck, their own doctrine that is easily found in the phone that we call carry in our pocket.
