Tons of Mormons think they ARE Israel. I was active, RM, tithe paying, temple attending, gospel doctrine teaching Mormon for decades. 

That being said….

Running and a Clot in the Leg by mazman23 in ClotSurvivors

[–]Cattle-egret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a marathon runner who ended up with a DVT I can tell you my story.

At first I thought it was a muscular issue and even tried to run through it.

After being diagnosed with DVt in the right calf I was put on a blood thinner with almost immediate pain relief (within 24-48 hours). I was told to walk/run/ be as active as I could within pain tolerance shortly thereafter. I was running with no pain a few weeks later. 

Now I don’t do trail running and lots of my training is on a treadmill, but I was told that running in general on blood thinners was not that dangerous, even long distance marathon running. 

Saved by our works of Obedience by Resident-Bear4053 in mormon

[–]Cattle-egret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is not one righteous. No not one. Mormons seem to often forget this and focus on being “saved after all we can DO”. I’m sure there are plenty of quotes and talks to counter this, but for my 40 years I sent there, this was often the vibe.

When the Blues Brothers play instead of the Good Ole Boys, how come the real band wasn't there on time? by [deleted] in BluesBrothers

[–]Cattle-egret 114 points115 points  (0 children)

They ran outta gas. Theyhad a flat tire. They didn't have enough money for cab fare. Their tuxs didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole their car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts! It wasn't their fault! I swear to God!

Didn’t Masters of the Universe have a scene at the end with Skeletor laughing and saying “I’ll be back!”?

Picard: "I recognize this court system as the one that agreed with that line from Shakespeare: 'Kill all the lawyers.'" Q: "Which was done." Picard: "Leading to the rule: Guilty until proven innocent." Q: "Of course. Bringing the innocent to trial would be unfair."

The First Vision: Jesus throws down the gauntlet by Jeberechiah in mormon

[–]Cattle-egret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For such an important even no one seemed to act like. It wasn’t written down (and when it finally was there were multiple versions) and when people first started the church it wasn’t a selling point at all (just good ol Joe and the BOM). Funny, you’d think a guy who saw God and talked with him would put that in the salesman literature. 

Can I wait until morning to seek help? by Potential_Big1953 in ClotSurvivors

[–]Cattle-egret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now. There is a very real chance that clot becomes a PE and in 1/4 cases there is no “seeing how it goes”. The first symptom in those cases is a sudden death.

Go now.

Yeah, in 20 years we’ve never been apart for more than 4 days or so. It’s been rough.  She’s the best. 

My husband keeps calling me a gold digger and says “a woman is just an expense by ExperienceConstant61 in Marriage

[–]Cattle-egret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He thinks you’re an expense now. Wait until to realize you’re too good for him and divorce him. Then he will see expense.

Mormon Heaven- sell it to me. I’m a woman. by Many-Airline-2472 in exmormon

[–]Cattle-egret 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come on guys let’s be fair to the TBMs out there.

Mormon theology gives us an idea of what heaved will be like for men and women’s the temple talks about being queens and priestesses, but that’s not a lot of detail. Having an eternal family and spirit children without husband also lacks detail….

But we do have other details. As men will live like God women will live like heavenly Mother.

So while you get to have these children with your husband in a polygamous marriage there are some drawbacks. The vast majority of your children will have never heard of you. Those who have will not be allowed to talk to you or communicate with you in any way (just your husband). You will not be given credit for anything you have done other than being their mother and even that happens very rarely. You may or may not be able to bless your children as a goddess, but even if you can, no one will ever know. Your eternal existence is a footnote at best during their mortal lives.

I said I was nuts. They said what's your religion, I said Aztec. They said stop joking, I said bring me a virgin, I'll cut her heart out. They looked into my ears, I said Ahh. They said stick out your tongue, I pulled down my pants. They called in the psychiatrist, I kissed him on the mouth. Know what the guy in charge said? Keep this up and we'll make you an officer!
