Yes, she told them to take a hike. She can do the wigs herself or get me to help. It's the kids in YW and the cancer kids that area really getting the shaft.

My wife makes wigs for little kids with cancer. Recently one of her co-workers asked my wife to come to her ward for a service project and make wigs etc.. Yesterday, my totally inactive for several years wife received the following email: "In order for you to come talk to my Young Women about the wigs, my stake president needs to confirm with your bishop that you’re a good person ;

When Dehlin kept asking about the disclosure of finances, Hendrix more or less kept saying "just like you don't want people to know your personal financial situation, the church also wants to keep its finances secret." The church is not a person. People donate to the church and want to know what happens to the donations. Of course they should disclose. I thought his excuse and com

Paying millions of taxpayer dollars to support a bunch of entitled people because they have the correct last name. How about feeding the poor instead.

Vaughn has had his head up the church's ass so long he can't see anything but their shit. My FIL asked Bro F to marry us in the holy temple. He lectured me in front of everyone at the temple pretending to have "discernment," and made my wife question whether she should marry me. Everyone in the room was looking at me wondering what the hell he was taking about.

People are leaving and others maybe not taking the church so serious, but there are still lots and lots of TBMs. The church also has lots and lots of money to keep itself afloat. I know someone in a high level position in a church owned company, and according to them, there is almost unlimited money in the church coffers. What I wonder about is how the new tax laws that don't allow charita

Stupid Mormon History Proudly Unfurled 1. Adam and Eve live in Missouri 2. God kills everyone and everything and Noah sails from the USA to the middle east. 3.

Yes, back in my TBM days, I was stupid enough to accept this calling. Each ward in the bldg takes turns. In may case it was my turn 4 months of the year. If I could not get anyone to do it, I had to do it. I got sick and tired of calling people, so lots of times I did it myself. A few times I just forgot and then I would go to church the next day and feel guilty. Jesus, I was a idiot. S

Tell her you believe in god and your god actually created her God, so your god is better then her god. Mormons always say it's the one true church - their God is best. How do they know Mormon God is the best God? They feel it and by faith. You also have faith your god is better. This may at least get her thinking critically about it.

A bishop telling someone in financial trouble to pay tithing. Someone paying tithes instead of helping their kid through college. Touting families and family temple work, but telling Am Indians, Islanders etc., they are from Israel. No, you don't have rich hertitage, you are Jewish and now you need to wear a 1950's business suit and vote Republican.

My problem with porn is it objectifies women. In that way it's more about control and using someone as it is about sex. I agree it is like cheating (not a bad of course and not a "sin") and worse it promotes using/abusing people just to satisfy your own ego. It lets the dark side of human nature out in full view.

Conspiracies that involve thousands of people and no one spills the beans are crazy. My favorite is con trails. Every plane in America has a drum of bad chemicals hooked into the jet exhaust system. All the 1000's of pilots, mechanics etc., are part of this evil conspiracy, and no one ever tells.

Great post. Church dogma (only true church etc..) is used to keep people in line. Overall the cult is just a capitalist enterprise, exploiting the members/workers to get as much profit as possible. For me, this is one great things about Rfm, people discuss both the dogma and how they were exploited.
