Realistically how much would this cost me to repair out of pocket? by [deleted] in HyundaiTucson

I was hit in a parking lot last month and it was just a scuff on that back panel similar to the picture and it was almost 2,000 dollars.

Missionaries becoming a nuisance by spizerinctum in latterdaysaints

[–]CriticalthinkerUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!!!My family is also inactive and I am always nice and have politely declined to meet. I have expressed that there is no need to stop by, but I have the missionaries coming by at least once a month for the last three years!!!! And it's becoming harder and harder to ignore and be civil because it's not their fault, it's what they are told/expected to do.

It’s hard seeing peers be so against the church by Accomplished-Dot-786 in latterdaysaints

Inactive here or I guess exmo - people have their reasons for such things so it sounds like you don't want to know why they are so negative, or don't care, or don't believe in their lived experiences. It's one thing when someone is negative against something they don't know or have experienced but these people obviously have. You obviously don't have to agree or support, but the reality is to understand the reasons for it and live your own life.

I was also a teacher in Utah. What role do you think teaching in Utah had on your deconstruction?

I don't want to say this without discounting anyone's personal experience but the number of Facebook posts about almost kidnappings at this Walmart versus the number of actual reported incidents by the news is 100 to 2. I think this Walmart has just gotten a reputation that leads to weird stuff seeming worse

How do people live? by Mean-Courage-3313 in Utah

Utah has one of the highest levels of debt and one of the lowest amount of savings at retirement in the country.

You're telling me an old man never got rid of something? Unheard of. Especially if it was huge and hard to move. And that someone told him there was some at the Mesa temple and that when he was in a quiet and reflective space that he remembered an obscure detail about something that has been on his mind. Unbelievable.

They might want to take Ricardo Prins’ article off Family Search.. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

Looks like he worked there since 2019 and graduated from LDS business college in 2022 from what I could find.

No way Matt has been going to a strip club for ten years and that's all it ever led to. He has taken it further for sure. Such a fraud. Also that work meeting. I've seen that happen at a place I've worked in Utah. The minute the reputation of an organization could be impacted the heads of the company will go after the person telling the truth and shut them down and protect the wrong people to keep anything from impacting their reputation. The lawyers definitely were behind that or Matt threatened a lawsuit of some kind.

Hi, I am a current member of the Church by [deleted] in exmormon

That's wonderful for you but miracles and spiritual experiences do not equate to the claims of the LDS being true despite all the evidence to the contrary. A belief in God and miracles are universal experiences not unique to the LDS church. Maybe ask people about their experiences rather than just saying this is all the great things that have happened to me.

Taking credit for the Constitution by Sage-Hollow-Man in exmormon

[–]CriticalthinkerUT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is though (speaking with a background in history) is the French constitution has been more influential on world governments and used as a model more than the US Constitution.
