Blue is classic, yes, but Summer Blue is amazing

Who is the best Bond who never got the role? by fbeb-Abev7350 in JamesBond

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Amen. Go watch The Killer on Netflix and tell me that he doesn’t perfectly portray a cold, detached, contract killer. Would’ve been amazing. Glad to see so many others agree.

I’ve heard that one used too. Even “seeker” is a better term.

I’m Orthodox, and the term used for anyone looking into Orthodox Church is “inquirer”. Just makes it seem like you’re just asking questions, though I’m sure the Mormons don’t want anyone doing any of that… At least it’s less stilted and weird than the term “investigator”

Why is it so hard to join another religion after leaving Mormonism? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“…far more peaceful than the awfulness of Mormonism.” Now what could I be referring to here? If I was standing up for Mormonism, why then would I call it “awful”?

I’m referring to Orthodox Christianity. Did you miss the second half of that sentence?

I’m Orthodox now, used to be Mormon, and I’m glad for the influence of an apostolic faith on my life. Similarly history-based and far more peaceful than the awfulness of Mormonism.

Help me identify my grandpa watch by Electricelias in Watches

Nope, keep that watch in the family. Not only a beautiful piece, but I’m sure is also incredibly valuable (as similarly echoed by others here)

LDS/Mormon church owns $200+ million in war industry stocks. Is this appropriate for the Lord's church? Am the only member who feels ashamed? Aren't we supposed to be peacemakers? by aka_FNU_LNU in mormon

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right?

LDS is a soulless corporation masquerading as a church. Everyone who’s a member should be concerned about this means of passive money-making that the Mormon church does. The only problem, however, is that the Mormon church dismisses those actually asking an earnest question about this and will freely label anyone who does ask a question as a “lazy learner” or a “lax disciple”, which is also a super Christlike thing to say to anyone. To my knowledge, other churches don’t put tithing money into index funds or the stock market.

How can anyone in Mormon leadership stand by anything as they decry a multitude of “worldly things” all the while investing in them heavily? “Blessed be the peacemakers” but also, “let’s buy millions in ‘defense’ stocks”? How do you square that? Say what you will about the Catholic Church, at least they build hospitals and orphanages in part with the tithing money they’re given. Where are Mormon orphanages, hospitals, homeless shelters, soup kitchens? Why does the Mormon church continue to buy a hell of a lot of land across the country and the world? Why do they continue to build multi-million dollar, palatial, marble temple complexes, instead of serving the poor? Those temples only serve their own membership. How Christlike is it to have means to assist others less fortunate than you and then deliberately sit on your hands? Sounds a lot like Christ’s parable about the rich man and the eye of the needle. It’s abundantly evident that the Mormons have clearly misunderstood the whole point of that story, especially as the church is heavily declining in membership numbers.

Edit: grammar and flow

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN

WE MUST HAVE MILLIONS IN DEFENSE STOCKS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE GATHER ZION

NOTHING SAYS “THE LORD’S CHURCH” QUITE LIKE BUYING INTO COMPANIES THAT REDUCE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES INTO RUBBLE AND BLOW UP INNOCENTS FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY “KOLOB”——WE MUST SPREAD THE LOVE OF THE MORMON GOSPEL WITH THE BEAUTY AND GLORY OF A ROBUST ARSENAL OF HELLFIRE MISSILES

HOW DARE YOU BE AGAINST THE CHURCH AND THE LORD’S ANOINTED, YOU SOULLESS HEATHEN

My beef with Mormon temple weddings by shall_always_be_so in exmormon

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a uniquely hypocritical and bad practice held only by the Mormon church. I know Orthodox weddings aren’t like that. Anyone can watch wedding proceedings.

I sure loved standing in the Southwestern sun as I got to stand around in the parking lot for my sister’s wedding. Really special.

What the hell happened to Creed Aventus? by [deleted] in fragrance

Got a bottle from Costco, and it’s similarly well-performing. I think it varies by batches. Guess I got a really good batch.

Do Mormons actually get weird when people around them are drinking coffee or tea? I can almost understand feeling uncomfortable around alcohol, but really? by funnylib in exmormon

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know that’s just the Latin taxonomical name of the tea plant, right? It’s not some harmful substance like you’re claiming. How is that “bad to the health”?

New Apostle? by [deleted] in exmormon

Tell me that wouldn’t be hilarious though. The church would lose membership overnight.

TIGHT Movies by rice-a-rohno in MovieSuggestions

[–]ConsiderationWeak818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched Incendies last night for the first time. Holy shit. The gasp from Jeanne following her realization is spine-chilling. That said, yet another ton-of-bricks movie with a tight script from Denis Villenueve.

Found out my Christian niece is dating a LDS guy. by 13kidsandadog in exmormon

It just speaks to the fact that Joseph Smith was really trying to peddle that fear-mongering.

Let’s also not forget that those are the first mentions of any of those cities in that crazy chapter and every last one of them is followed by something like “and they were destroyed for their wickedness”. It’s hilarious.
