So they are Taking Out their Gifts? Makes sense in a silly TBM way I guess. Why don't they say "receiving blessings?" It sounds more normal and less wacko to say going to the temple to receive blessings. But then that would sound too normal.

A Mormon's status in the local ward trumps all doctrine, every time. It trumps family, personal integrity, and even financial security. Ward status, along with the coveted TR, is the only creed that matters. Well said Donbagley - I knew a TBM woman who hated me (for no reason except that I was an apostate). I was a teacher at the school that her kids attended although they were not in my class.

I have always been confused about this topic........endowments. TBMs say they are going to the temple to "take out their endowments." It sounds a bit like a porno film to me. Endowed means something different to me than to them obviously. Exactly what are they taking out? What does it mean to be endowed to a TBM? Thanks for responding. I am not joking. I really don't know.

I'd bet my house on him being a Mo. He grew up in Hurricane........HEELLLLO! Is there any other religion there? Any non-religions there? Not if you want to work or live.

Remember that the body better look good when the resurrestion happens cause they are going to be in that same body. THe more plastic the better. Perhaps they could resurrect as Barbie. More fake phoniness. SO happy I don't go to TSCC anymore.

If there was a room full of plates, literally wagon loads of them, why didn't someone bring the wagons and take them out? JS or some other fake profit could have translated the reformed Egyptian. Just sayin................

That BoM pin is hysterical. Is that supposed to be "Reformed Egyptian?" Isn't that going to call attention to a language that NEVER existed? What are they thinking? I want to order one just for the sheer hell of it, but I won't. What happened to the compass? How about that upside down Satanic star? ANd the Sun God? All that crap around the Temple? Shouldn't that all be in these pins?

AMEN, you said it perfectly. The sad thing is that many do believe them and they are empowered. Their empowerment makes them EVIL.

Tommy might do it if the man was a serious tithing paying as in NEVER even a dime behind. But he'd wear gloves and make sure nothing actually touched the poor guy. this Pope seems to be way more Christian than Tommy.

No they lied to protect themselves and their reputation in their various wards. They are as far from innocent as they can get. Pure scum. One of them couldn't participate in the trial because he is in jail in Idaho for child raping. They really are just like JS. The only nobler higher reason would be to be seen better in the eyes of JS and Breedum Young. They descecrated my mother's grave! How b

Why the FUCK didn't Jared's parents think up a name for his brother? Did they breed like rabbits and have some many kids they couldn't think of a name for the brother? With all of the Temple names, wouldn't MoronI or something like that do? They could have called him Ken. The they could address him as BroKen. OK it was dumb but I just wrote a sad post and needed to cheer up.

I have had an absolutely horrible experience with various Mos during the course of a lawsuit. It has been a nightmare from the beginning to now and it still goes on. I am thinking of writing to one of the "potential witnesses" who was supposed to be a witness but who decided at the last minute that she would not do it. I also feel like writing to the media about this.......but first

Apostle John A. Widtsoe's words from 1954 sound like they came from a training manuel for the NAZIs. This "service" to him, could it be BLOOD ATONEMENT? This is so scary. Why don't TBMs see this nightmare for what it is?

You repented and got a TR? You had nothing to repent for. FOr your sake and for the sake of your sanity, RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY, BUT RUN AWAY FROM TSCC AS FAST AND FAR AS YOU CAN AND TAKE YOU DAUGHTER WITH YOU.

This is NUTS! There used to be the Fundamental LDS (the ones IMHO who actually follow JS closely); the Reformed LDS (those in Missouri who didn't like Breedum Young), and the Mainstream LDS, (the ones who came with Breedum Young, then "rejected" polygamy (not really since it is just after death now) but anyway, those were the kinds there were. Of course there were also jack-Mormons, an

I put this on another thread, but here it is again. It is funny. OK so I have to share this because it is just plain fun and funny. My cousin (who is in the process of leaving TSCC) was here visiting me a few months ago. We had long talks about the whole mess that Mo-ism is etc. That is for another time.

I didn't get a job at a STATE run college in Utah. I heard from a VERY reliable source that if I had had a Temple recommend, I would have got it. That is ILLEGAL since it was not BYU but a state run college. What did I do? Moved the FUCK away from there and don't miss Utah at all.
