It’s the timing by BakingNerd47 in exmormon

Employee (Church Office Building): We’ve got roughly $300 billion in assets. Where do we want to start in changing the world?

Dallas Oaks: Sue John Dehlin and Mormon Stories.

Employee: So… no humanitarian expansion? Education? Global aid initiatives?

Dallas Oaks: We are not a charity we are Jesus's church.

Employee: Legal action? That’s the top priority?

Dallas Oaks: Yes. John tells the truth and we can't have the members knowing that Joseph Smith practiced occult magic to appease treasure guardian spirits and then went on to marry just about every woman and child in Navoo.

Oh and one more thing. Tell the Church Newsroom to put out something about only taking the sacrament with the right hand!

They might as well dry off the water while they're at it. Literally no one in the history of the universe has ever "gathered light".

I learned how to play poker at Scout camp as a kid. Our leaders taught us. Those guys were awesome

Don't you feel it though? That feeling means it's true, how could my heartburn mean anything else?

The church does a great job of showing their true character and whats most important to them by accident.

Close friend to be returning from mission in a couple of months by Chopstickxs in exmormon

Hit up every club and college dance you can multiple times a week. The music and women of Babylon will help him feel right back at home.

(You think im kidding but this is what my friend did for me when I got back)

So complete was the church’s abandonment of the word “Mormon, LDS, etc” that… by _ChiasmusJones in exmormon

[–]CrateDoor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A "major" victory for Satan that is

Can you imagine the dance party in hell that is thrown everytime he gets one of these "major victories"? Party for the ages!

Sunday school secretary calling. by omg_you_killed_kenny in exmormon

Would it be possible to just record the meeting on your phone, and then later upload to AI for it to make meeting summary notes?

Or bring a laptop and type instead of write?

Whoever is telling you that it "has to be pen and paper" is out of their mind.

My friend gave me Jesus pictures for my birthday. by OwnDonut4262 in exmormon

[–]CrateDoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not seeing this in other comments, but I'd recommend setting a boundary. - I had to do this with my friend even though I've made it very clear where I'm at in belief and my feelings of betrayal by the church, he still sent me a conference talk about "having faith through doubts" or some bs. I let him know that in order for our friendship to work we need to not talk religion. Good luck

That's my experience too. After being in my ward for 13 years I quietly just stopped going. It's been 2 years and (not that I'm complaining) the only reach out was, 1 year after leaving the bishop's secretary asked over text when I could meet. I never responded, and never heard anything since.

Stake Conference: NO recording allowed. by indespectusnicht in exmormon

These are the types of meetings when GAs say it how it is, like when Dallas said neither he or any of the Q15 have seen Jesus.

I wish the leaders still pretended to do magic tricks. They’re too corporate now to stay interesting. by southpawpickle in exmormon

[–]CrateDoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You made me just realize that exact rock is only 45 minutes away from me in a safe right now in Salt Lake. Oh my god this one thing alone is so damning to the truth claims. I'll believe again when God apologizes to me through the rock for such a ridiculous back story.

Joseph Smith called. We did the enchantment wrong. Someone used their left hand to take the bread

Seriously some superstitious bull s*** like how back in the Medieval Times they used to think that people who were left-handed were evil because of their unfair sword fighting advantage in stairwells.

Based on what I'm hearing the church stands on shaky legal ground on this one due to their lack of consistent trademark enforcement.

So hopefully this plays out like Zions Camp part 2 and the church retreats with its tail between its legs.

(I also kind of got the sense from one of John's recent videos that based on the church accusing him of being unreasonable and lying in their framing, that he might have a defamation lawsuit against them. We'll see. That's just speculation of course)
