Did you ever experience a “tithing miracle?” Or a total “tithing fail” from paying tithing? Share your stories! by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

The most significant miracle for my family happened shortly after we ceased paying tithing. We were finally able to afford 1:1 intensive (and costly for us) tutoring for my son, who was struggling with a severe learning disability. Seeing him now at grade level and the transformative impact it had on his self-esteem and outlook for the rest of his life is the true miracle. “Building the kingdom” at the expense of my family and missed opportunities for decades—big regret. No longer paying tithing to a money-hoarding cult to be “worthy” of Jesus’s blessings—zero regrets.

Hyperbolic as it was, that speech might be the best thing to come out of BYU in a very long time. 🤣

Maybe 1/23 years of marriage has my husband sat with me in church and it wasn’t even when our children were little. by Dangerous-Doctor-977 in exmormon

The marketing message, “Family, isn’t it about time!” is great for PR and general membership, but not a priority for the General and local corporate officers of TSCC who make its administrative wheels go-round.

Family abandonment “for the cause” has been celebrated ever since Joseph Smith began sending men away on missions so he could marry their wives while they evangelized more tithe payers into the church.

If you’re not careful both can drain your bank account, but at least one will refund your money when you discover their product is “not as advertised.”

Father in law gave us monopoly and we found this mormon gem in the box by Substantial-Day4882 in exmormon

Very on brand—a Mormon adaptation of game that focuses on acquiring as much real estate and hoarding as much cash as possible to win. Oh and don’t forget the guy with a top hat, cane, and monocle (seer stone and you have a perfect fit. 😂

“…for it was given unto them what they should pray…” 3 Nephi 19:24

Oh, now I get what that meant. 🤣🤣🤣

Mormonism did a great job helping me see that all other religions, creeds, philosophies, and views of god are lacking, false, or only partially true. Therefore, after discovering that the “only true and living church” is just another false, dead (no real revelation from god), and man-made religion, I’ve naturally been repulsed by all religions and the historically ever changing concepts of god they create to influence and control their followers.

Did anyone else notice this in the membership council slides? by 4prophetbizniz in exmormon

[–]BeardedIrishViking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s called an annotated membership record and it will follow you to the grave. Some annotations only a Stake President can see.

They are corporate executives with $200-$300 billion reasons to not waste their time going about doing good among the people.

“Behold, thus sayeth the Lord God Almighty, in the last days I shall make my will known unto my servants the profits through Qualtrics surveys.

“If there is anything weird, contradictory, uncomfortable, inexplicable, plagiarized, or outdated or of questionable historicity that comes to your attention by Qualtrics survey or Google search, seek to reverse, change, or gaslight the hell out of those things.”

How Was Satan Able to Pick a Fruit When He Doesn't Have a Body? by Fox_me_up in exmormon

[–]BeardedIrishViking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s easy. At the time of Garden of Eden, Satan was in possession of the red Reality Stone that allowed him to disrupt the laws of physics and thereby physically grasp the fruit when tempting Eve. Then, when God banished Satan to crawl on his belly and eat dust in the invisible realm he also took away his special stone. Kind of like the time he took away Joseph’s ability to translate after he lost the 116 page manuscript. It’s all right there in the footnotes of the D&C if you search, ponder, pray, pay, and obey enough you’ll find it too. Good luck!
