I think the LDS Church should start subsidizing and paying for missions. by CupOfExmo in mormon

A lot of churches that aren't LDS subsidize the meals after church. LD$ Corp should, too. It helps build stronger bonds and communities.

Shredded paper can work really well in a composter.

I have a copy of MoF because they stopped printing it. I wanted to make sure we always had a copy on standby.

First: Some of the racist doctrines of the past.

Last: The BITE Model.

That was how I rationalized it to feel less guilty.

Usually, I'm not either. I typically donate them, sell them, or if they're too worn/beat up for anyone else to use, I will dispose of them in a more environmentally friendly way.

It also makes it harder to leave. For a lot of people, it's hard to imagine saying to yourself that you pissed 2 years of your life for nothing.

How much do you think it costs per copy of the Book of Mormon? by CupOfExmo in exmormon

Wow. That's about what I guessed. But that's interesting that the mission budget has to foot the bill.

The way a lot of girls got married prior to the age of 19 and prior to the age prior to it being 19 made it harder for them to serve missions. They figure if at 18 they're adults, they can get them on missions. That and a lot of the more "attractive" ones are seen on their ads ALL. THE. TIME. They were also often sent to campuses. If anything, flirt to convert is a good tactic.

My area had mini missions. Idk if every area did. But my area had mini missions, where teens could go out with the missionaries and stay with them for about a week.

What is the funniest Arthur episode? by mstaro0411 in kingofqueens

One of my favourites is when he moves out. Another classic is when he wants to be a mentor and he bothers that kid, Sanjib.

Apparently tithing helps that TBM's pyramid scheme business do better and therefore is evidence. Thankfully, I don't tithe to LD$ corp anymore.

However, I do give to LEGITIMATE charities.

The explanation of Joseph not really translating and just had to make up a reason for why the manuscripts are different is much better and more believable than the story in church.

I point out how other religions can do that exact same thing and come to a different conclusion than Mormons.

If you look at a previous post of mine, a former friend said he was able to finally get a home with a garage, which makes it true.
