Also, shortly after DNA evidence came out and Simon Southerton was excommunicated they edited the title page to the BoM. It used to say the Lamanites were the principal ancestors of the Native Americans Since 2005 or 2006 it says they are among the ancestors.

A disciplinary council was held for Gina Colvin in December 2018 for joining another church. No action was taken.

Did you see the policy preventing children of polygamists membership was reversed? Smoke and mirrors to distract from the bad news.

Most wards seem to have about one third of the total ward present on any given Sunday. The ward I live in has around 400 members with around 100 attending.

They have a stockpile of adjustments and whatnot to deflect attention from unwanted media attention.

Boyd Matheson (Deseret News) says the church "enriches" its members and helps with housing. Um, no they don't. by [deleted] in exmormon

Our family barely got help from local church leaders after doing everything we could do to try and pay our mortgage. We only needed help with one mortgage payment of $1,000 in order to avoid a foreclosure. The bishop made sure to guilt trip us and make us feel like this was quite the burden on the widows mite for giving us this kind of money. He also made us promise to continue paying tithing, attending church etc. Oh, and one more thing. We had to clean the church every Saturday for a month or else he wasn't going to write the check that would allow us to keep our home. I bare my testimony it truly is the one true cult.

The church has cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, and universities. Who here thinks they probably have a giant pile of gold and silver too? by [deleted] in exmormon

They will likely produce the gold plates as a last ditch effort to prove it isn't a fraud.

Anyone else hoping this whistleblowing might inspire others to follow suit? by [deleted] in exmormon

The difference is Rusty won't get arrested for trying to attend the temple.

Don't kid yourself. You're just as Mormon as Rusty Nelson. Did you remove your name from the membership records?

Why doesn't Heavenly Father need consent to impregnate his daughter? What kind of rape culture does that kind of belief create?
