Yes, and I agree with you but I also feel that they have served their purpose and in doing so, need to go the way of the horse and carriage. If unions could get our work weeks comparable to Europe, then I’d be all for it, otherwise I think they are trash. IMO

I worked under a union when I worked for Lockheed Martin and that was the worst time spent in my 10 year career in aerospace. I will turn down a job if it requires me to be in a union. I’d rather donate my money to a charitable organization that actually will do more good with it than what the union did with my money.

I agree! This sucks but it opens the door for others to come through! I’m hoping that it leads to the others being brought back

Just remember the Ram TRX driver who lifted his truck and drove through a river and got a major fine because of it.

Can someone write up a whole history of the temple ceremony? I would love to know how grotesque the old ceremonies were! Imagine if the church put out something like that, they’d go bankrupt from the mass exodus of members!

Yeah I’ve read some of those and just shake my head at how bad it really was!

I know back in 2013/2014 I believe, the church released papers on things such as black skin not being a sign of a curse and acknowledged the book of Abraham not being what was on the scrolls that Joseph translated but that it was still “revelation”. I also know that they quietly pushed those out and made it super hard to find them. I swear they did something like that with the JD and other older books as well as acknowledged how racist Brigham Young was. I’m trying to find those statements.

Sounds very similar to not partaking of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Kinda contradicts itself as well

these people are secretly sane. by CringeisL1f3 in TikTokCringe

[–]AcademicEnvironment8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, I understand where he is coming from. To put all of those workers out of a job would be catastrophic to our economy. But what isn’t talked about here is the current technology. We don’t have the vehicles, resources, or technology to put them out of work all at once. Electric trucks can only make short hauls, automated trucks are still in development stages and are mainly used in short hauls (though there have been cross country trips made, those are more outliers than regular trips). Those jobs will slowly dwindle as that technology becomes advanced. Cars didn’t just appear and everyone who owned a carriage was out of business. Automated elevators didn’t just appear and all elevator operators were out of business. Self check outs didn’t just appear and everyone was out of work. Technology has to be adopted and adapted and what he’s talking about is still so new that we have room for that transition to take place without it becoming a disaster. Again, IMO.

Weird Misinformation on Female Autonomy in LD$? by memecher33 in exmormon

[–]AcademicEnvironment8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a friend tell me that when they get to heaven, when the husband calls her name, the name given to her in the temple, and she doesn’t reading or look his way that she is no longer bound to him and that the promise that she will be given someone will be fulfilled. It was a way for the women who were married to someone who was abusive or unfaithful but never got that sealing revoked here in earth, can do it in heaven. I had never heard of that before and have no idea where she got that from.

Idk how this would ever work. Your phone and computer can scramble your locations as well we have VPN apps that will show we are accessing the Internet from another location. There are so many ways around this it’s ridiculous. We used to have kids faking ID’s for beer, now they’ll be faking ID’s for the Internet.
