And that's why I re-freaking-fused to ever do initiatory ever again.Being naked with nothing more than a piece of plastic covering you made me feel rather uncomfortable. My sister got her endowments in the Salt Lake City Temple, where she said that an old lady dressed her in her garments for the first time. Talk about creepy!

My mother told me that she went to Ricks College and she hated it, but she will not go into detail. I didn't even know that Ricks was renamed to BYU Idaho until recently. Has anybody gone there that can shed some light on it? I don't know when she went there, and I don't want to ask any questions that will raise any questions, but I'm it was assuming 40-50 years ago.

When I was a child, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Tourettes Syndrome. Just last year I was diagnosed with PTSD due to traumatic experiences when I was about 8. Anybody knows that when you're young, if you're different, you're going to be a prime target to be made fun of, so I told no one. When I was in High School back in the late '90's, I was still questioning, but I was lucky enough to be c

In my opinion, Oaks being necessary is like saying Hitler was necessary for solving overpopulation.

Something tells me that if he REALLY wanted to be baptized, he would have braved the water to get what he wanted.

I'm wondering if a certain member of the Q15 could be seen as a driving force for members, especially those of the LGBTQ community to leave the So-Called-Church. He is a hateful, bigoted man, and in no way "Christ Like", if you choose to believe such a person exists, and I like to think that an insider is helping the cause push people away from that corporation. HOWEVER, his views ar

Yes, a few times. It helped me get to sleep, actually. All those chapters of Alma was such a SLOG to get through.

Funny, that's actually how I came to be here! Late one night, as I was trying to go to sleep a stray thought came to my mind: wait a minute, until 1978 blacks weren't allowed to have the Melchizedek priesthood. That's fsking racist! At the time I was seeing a therapist for family issues due to depression. She chuckled when I told her and told me that her husband was an ex-Mormon, told me about

We may have a problem! My sister has been doing that to her kids for years, and she's from UTAH. She's been making her eldest raise her children from the tender age of around 11 (he's 16 now, I think). He has two younger siblings, both a sister and a brother. His sister is about 5 years younger than him, and younger brother about 3 years younger. Sorry, I'm not sure about ages, as I'm not close

Here's what my therapist told me about porn: the only time porn is a problem is when it interferes with your personal life or your job. In short, Utah does NOT have a porn problem, there is something else going on! <coughmormonscough>

The source of that stupid name is none other than Horny Joe! If I recall correctly, some Lamanites became so righteous and hated warfare so much they became 'anti' Nephi-Lehis, which name always bugged me because 'anti' means to go against. Which would mean that they were against the fathers of the Nephites. But no, Horny Joe was just being exceptionally uncreative

I had an image similar to Little House on the Prarie while reading this crap. A bunch of happy women in bonnets holding hands with inane smiles plastered on their faces, with nary a thought in their pretty little heads. My mother has been so brainwashed by the church she never disagrees or challenges my dad on anything. It makes me sick.

An older man who I went to church with died yesterday. He was loved by all, and gave candy to the primary kids. You know, a true blue Morg. He played Santa Claus even when I was in primary, and I'm 38. Knowing it will be a Mormon funeral, I'm not sure if I want to go. Especially since I just found out all about the the BS the cult is about, and the wounds are still fresh, and I'm still angry a

One of the temple covenants that always confused me was abstaining from loud laughter. It's also one of the the things that I ignored, even when I was trying to be a good Matt Morg. If I felt like laughing, I'm going to laugh long and loud. Does anybody know the reasoning behind this? Was the person behind this high and hated laughter?
