Of their access to the Temple? Does TSCC wait for a guilty verdict before demoting or excommunication? I’d like to know what it would take for TBM colleague to be kicked out of TSCC. He did some pretty crummy things.

How does Mormonism prize rich people and wealth (besides who they give senior positions to)? Is there a scriptural basis for this? How the h3ll does this vibe with so many poor Mormons? Genuinely curious. Thanks.

I know several educated Mormons, with several advanced degrees… Two of them even hate “rich people.” But not one of them thinks anything of their uneducated daughters having kid, after kid, after kid… totally bypassing higher education. Did they forget how they once believed in a college education? Did they forget too that the “rich” people in the office they loath, hav

People like that Mormon who doesn’t agree with Mormonism should just admit that he’s afraid of dying and that’s why he’s (or she’s) still TBM.

Things I have heard from Mormons recently… * A high-school’s gay and straight alliance club is just for hook-ups. * Doesn’t trust government. “One day government will tell me where I can live.” * Organic fruits extended a friend’s life who had terminal cancer, after deciding to go “the natural route.” But, yet, they’re completely beholden to Mormonism.

Yes, popping out kids when you’re doing it in poverty. And I meant it to be denigrating.

I don’t have any kids either and I feel good about it. Less responsibility. But… I’m this TBM’s children’s ages and so are my siblings. And… well… we’re not doing anything like his kids. Edit: I’ve told him that I don’t want to have kids: they’re expensive, take a lot of time and I don’t think I have the optimal arrangement to care for and nurture a kid. He’s

I’ve shared before on here about how a TBM colleague has stopped talking about his kids when Office workers are talking about their children and life milestones. Most stuff is like about Honor Roll, getting admitted to college, good grades, etc. Very boring stuff no doubt. Well, TBM got the hint that his daughters are just popping out kids and that would probably make him look wei

Atheism says “there is no god.” Agnosticism says, “I don’t know if there is a god but my mind is open if there is.” Some agnostics have taken this to also mean “I shall not pass judgment on religion, no matter how silly.”
Forum: Recovery Board

I like this guy outside of this conversation. He’s a pretty decent guy. But he calls himself an agnostic like a lot of people so he’s trying to not judge a faith and just say that he doesn’t know the answer about the after life. Well, I think you can be agnostic and still call bull on a religion.

Ran into one… “I left because it isn’t my truth.” (Whose “truth” is a lie?) “I knew all along about Joseph Smith’s wives.” “They give a lot to charity.” (After I corrected him on news from Mormon Leaks about their lackluster charity, he responds, “Well, I know 100% of goes to help people.” Bleh.

TBM colleague’s daughter is enrolled in college, but she’s unsure of what she wants to study. Usually when he stops mentioning his daughters and what they’re doing, that means that they’re pregnant and he’s too embarrassed to tell his work colleagues. I’m going to bet that this daughter will be popping out a baby before she chooses a major. Thoughts? (Side note: this TBM

When you say “only two,” I want to say thank you. You gave more of yourself to your kids, rather than stretching yourself thin by having too many. There’s not a deficiency in too much parenting and guidance in the world.

Overheard two Mormon women talking with a nevermo. The TBM was going on and on about her gaggle of grandkids, being raised by two uneducated parents on one meager salary. TBM assured the nevermo that the kids will be fine… “They’re not going to get everything,” as if that sidesteps being raised in poverty.

Then she has a quote from Gandhi about being a teacher because you make mistakes to excuse her hypocrisy like allegedly sleeping her way to the top, working with a young child (something she chews people out for) and other hypocrisies.

Yes, Mormons have a fan in Dr. Laura. She was dealing with a Mormon caller and went on about how she likes how the church makes those who receive aid work for the church in some capacity. Over the years, she’s been reserved in talking about Mormonism but I guess she’s no longer holding back.
