I'm thinking that we need to make a list of stuff that people can ask the mormons online that will make them automatically take you off their list or some other questions that will get funny responses from missionaries & let people post the conversations. It might even go viral having people show the funny responses they get if they get any. Otherwise, its a simple way of putting relevant

Maybe they'll have keywords that automatically redirect you to a Senior missionary who can write pages of nonsense about how much they love and know the church is true.

Jonathan, You are not alone. I've been though a similar situation in my life. I decided to back out of a mission at the last minute myself and ended up working in a restaurant and finding a room for rent in downtown SLC It was one of the scariest, and most difficult times in my life because I had to leave home with next to nothing, just clothing and a small radio, but it was also some of th

It's going to be like World War I when the Generals kept forcing the soldiers to get out of the trenches and run towards the enemy as they're getting cut down by machine gun fire. It won't take long for them to become gun shy if they aren't already. Fighting this battle will help many of them realize that the leaders are asking them to run with their muzzle loading guns with bayonets again

Mormonism might be right for you. It's definitely got a lot of nice people and it only costs 10% of your money. You get to follow a lot of rules and be told what to do. It's nice because if anyone questions your beliefs you'll have a circle of friends to support you that also feels like they belong to the Only true church. That will give you support and confidence. If you make $2000 per mo

I was just thinking how its strange that when someone turns 18 they are considered adults, yet Boyd and the other leaders are so arrogant that they think its better to control and keep treating people like children. It's like the Mormon church and the Mormon parents force their good Mormon children to be restricted just when most other people are learning to live on their own.

It looks like the Mormon church is going for broke. They changed the age of the missionaries to send more out and now they are changing the approach. They're burning through all their fuel very quickly. Talk about sending lambs to the slaughter. It would be different if the Mormon church was based on truth and they didn't have such a coverup of actual Mormon history. Too bad they don't hav

Hi Ex-CultMember I like how you mentioned that you were a missionary in Utah and it helped you to hear ex-mormons say stuff to you and even though it didn't seem like it at the time, it affected you. I could have been one of those ex-mormons haha I've become different over the years. I come from a big Mormon family. When I first left I assumed I was giving them up and I would be shunned. Af

I've read some m vs c books and they're pretty good. You might find them to be skewed towards the Christian perspective, which may be a good or bad thing for you. One thing to keep in mind us that Mormonism and Christianity are completely different because they worship completely different Gods. Flesh God vs Spirit God for starters. Mormons change the Garden of Eden story... The Mormon

Read the Double Bind book on this website. It will help you realize the manipulative tricks they use.

Wasn't tithing in the Bible originally from crops? Isn't that why it was called first fruits? Now its been turned into cold hard cash. What else does the church accept? Maybe Bitcoin. ***edit, I forgot that they're happy to take anything they can including family estates etc... :) They definitely prefer a cash only transaction, yet the Mormon leaders aren't financially accountable.

The Mormon leaders are in a bind because none of them are very talented, forward thinking, or even have much of a risky character to deviate from the status quo. I'm not talking about stupid risky behaviors like boyd k packers, I mean something that would point to them as being visionaries and leaders. They are simpletons, although they have higher education and degrees, none of them are very

The mall puts all Mormons into cog dis and makes them confused when they are confronted with it and the question of what would Jesus do.

From my perspective this could be even worse, Allen J Stout and Brigham Young could have concocted the whole Blood Atonement thing together.
