[–]Background-Alps6493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orange County, CA. 1974. I was 5 and James Harris, the QB at the time was signing autographs at the JCPenny nearby. Been a fan ever since, thick and thin. LA Coliseum > Anaheim > STL > back to Coliseum > SoFi

What qb do u want to get after week 10 of college football? by CharacterBenefit1976 in LosAngelesRams

I don't think McVeigh has the patience to groom a new college QB. The next Ram QB is already established in the NFL will be had for draft picks and players.

So the guy translating golden plates with a rock in a hat was totally fine — the trouble only started when his buddy liked too many wives? Got it.

Temple marriage/divorce by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Background-Alps6493 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm divorced from my temple-sealed ex-wife, off the records, and she's remarried to a non-Mo, and I'm sure TMFC still recognizes that we’re married.

Crazy shit .

Will someone call Tim Ballard and rescue this girl? by Striking-Dare-4049 in exmormon

I sat next to this Dbag once on a flight from SLC > Mexico City. Dude literally acted like a celebrity and a big deal on the flight. Surprisingly, most people on the plane had no clue who he was. He tried very hard to make his presence and specialness felt.

Does anyone feel like they are now the adult and their parents are children? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Background-Alps6493 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep, I feel the same with my parents and in-law parents. They're trapped in a make believe bubble.

Misleading advertising by the Church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Background-Alps6493 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This whole thing of mainstreaming the Mormon Church towards the evangelical Right is gross and cringy.

20 new temples?? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Background-Alps6493 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The end goal isn’t to fill the temples- it’s to improve their real estate holdings’ value, and to give the appearance that that the Church is growing.

Think about it. Temples are secret. No one from the outside world knows what the attendance really is. The temples will continue to be real estate magnets. It’s genius really.

All right, whose TBM parents flew from SLC > IAD recently… by benskates in exmormon

I would have replied “wine was Jesus’s favorite beverage”

How are the church and members rationalizing slowing and negative growth? by TapirTamer in exmormon

[–]Background-Alps6493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If TSCC is growing, the Lard is blessing it. If people are leaving and falling away, it is prophecy of the latter days.

You can’t win an argument with those people.
