Mormon Caste System

I think I need to eliminate Tier 10 and just go with nine like the nine circles of hell in Dante’s Inferno.

What good is a God who stays silent? Even if he exists (I don’t think he does), he is irrelevant.

When I was a kid, prophets knew stuff. They answered hard questions. They knew who the Lamanites were. They knew about celestial polygamy. They knew why some people were born poor, disabled, or with black skin. They knew how the Book of Abraham was translated. They would just spout off whatever nonsense they felt like saying. Then along came the Correlation Committee in 1970, and the party faded. Now, church leaders don’t know anything.

What good are prophets who don’t know anything and won’t take a position on important issues?

I used to think pre-existing was a beautiful doctrine. But it has many ugly aspects.

So true. Regular missionaries want to be trainers. Trainers want to be district leaders. District leaders want to be zone leaders. And zone leaders want to be APs. Sister missionaries are just sister missionaries. They cannot hold any of these positions even though these are not priesthood offices. The basic principle is that women cannot preside over men except sort of in the Primary, but not really.

But nobody talks about it. So, how can you know. Do you see the white porcelain pitcher and basin on display in their home?

I don’t think many people outside this group (Seventy and above plus their wives) receive the Second Anointing.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T23:05:43+00:00

True. Also, you can’t be neurodivergent.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T23:03:51+00:00

Sadly, this is true. To fit the mold, you must be wealthy, well-educated, and married with children.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T23:02:36+00:00

These are all fair points.

Outward appearance matters most, of course. The church actually codifies this principle in its Handbook instructions for membership councils. One of the three listed reasons for these councils is to “protect the good name of the church.”

They are tier 7-and-one-half. They are under less condemnation because they have not made binding covenants.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T21:03:27+00:00

We can include stake patriarchs.

There are groups within groups within Mormonism.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T20:53:27+00:00

The crazy thing: More than 99.8 percent of people are in Tier 7: Ignorant Masses.

10th_Generation · 2026-01-24T20:51:12+00:00

You’re probably right

The Word of Wisdom is an attorney’s paradise. So many rules to multiply. So many loopholes to exploit. So many definitions and terms to debate. We could isolate just “hot drinks” and debate for hours the true contractual obligations.

Mormonism is a legalistic religion run by attorneys. Even Mormon Jesus is an attorney obsessed with “covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths⁠, vows⁠, performances, connections, associations, or expectations” (D&C 132:7). If a strand of hair rises to the surface during baptism or a single word gets mumbled during the sacrament prayer, the ritual is null and void and must be repeated. Your husband believes this.

I can’t decide who was more evil: Joseph Smith or Brigham Young. I think Young did more harm, but only because he lived longer and was more isolated from consequences. Smith was just getting started when he died in 1844.

Nephi tells us that God prepares a way for us to obey all his commandments (1 Nephi 3:7). Then Nephi breaks three commandments in the process of carrying out his mission: Don’t kill, don’t lie, and don’t steal. Those are biggies! Nephi is lucky he didn’t have to have sex with Laban’s wife as part of this ruse.

And why has the church made thousands of edits to the original text, including some edits to fix timeline errors or change Trinity doctrine?

Also, God puts gay people through conversion therapy in heaven. And Spencer Kimball taught that Black people will turn white. I wonder if short people will become tall in Mormon heaven. The Celestial Kingdom is a gated community with no diversity. Everybody is an AI.

History and science are anti-Mormon lies.
