I was just thinking this. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I know that having a boyfriend--who goes home--is way more "fun" than a full time spouse. A spouse on lock down sounds like a true mood kill.

A former friend got a letter from the church seeking her input regarding her ex husband's wish for a temple divorce. She sent a reply that detailed his abuse and infidelity. Two weeks later, her ex went to the temple and was sealed to his new bride. They work in mysterious ways. lol

Ms. Dorothy is a woman of worthless--according to any remotely Mormon standard. Divorced. One kid. Employed. No church anything. ZERO interest in a makeover EVER. Anyone who doesn't like how I look can avert their eyes. So let me understand this-- --women who are in abusive marriages--worthless. --Women in polygamous marriages--worthless. --women with drug and alcohol trouble--wor

Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Overeaters Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous...none of them like to release their data, if they keep any. Most of them are doing about a 95% fail rate for long term recovery. Humans. What ya gonna do?

I know I didn't HAVE to have the letter, but I took great joy in putting it in a scrapbook--along with my last temple recommend--and my stickers from Planned Parenthood--and... Even though it's all fluff that means nothing, I wanted proof that I don't have a bishop or a minister. I'm not Sister Dorothy despite the dang salutation at the top of the letter.

He's implying that the divorce is explained by her mental illness which is complete sh**.

Disagree. I did what I thought was right until I didn't think it any more. I have three TBM brothers who I trust completely as wonderful, trustworthy humans. It might be true in some cases, but not most.

True. Joe's Word of Wisdom was more of a suggestion. From there it evolved to one sip of iced tea and you're practically tossed out.

The ban was from Joseph Smith who never made it to Utah, but it was absolutely about the Mormon's closed economy. That closed economy was a main reason they were so hated. They didn't play well with others.

My exhusband has Covid 19. He pretends to be just inactive with his very Mormon family. His father, brother, sister in law, and niece are all ill, but won't get tested because they don't believe it's real. His mother told him, "If you get a test, it will always be positive because they want to inflate the numbers." If the prophet would come out and say, "The CDC is reliable
