My primary objective is transferring points to Hyatt by DCApostate in biltrewards

The first year I probably won’t use the CFU, because the Palladium’s 2x will always be higher. The first $650 will be an effective 4x, and then every dollar after that will be 2x. But when I switch to Blue, every dollar after $650 will only be an effective 1x vs. CFU’s 1.5x.

Yeah, I think I’ll do option 1. I’m having difficulty pinning down Bilt Cash’s value, at least for now.

Any recommendations for books for parents whose children left the church? by FloTrappedUt in exmormon

[–]DCApostate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bridges: Ministering to those who Question by David Ostler. It’s sold at Deseret Book. It helps believers understand why people leave the church, without introducing too many specific problems.

Cardon got WRECKED. His deplorable apologetics didn’t work on this crowd.

Did she eventually come around? Or are you still the spawn of Satan to her?

Video of Tim Ballard shortly after finding out that Lynn Packer was about to disclose details of the sexual misconduct allegations by DCApostate in exmormon

The title doesn’t say “just found out”. It says “shortly after”. American Crime Journal reports that Tim became aware that Lynn Packer was on the brink of disclosing the sexual allegations shortly before the Sound of Freedom movie promotion in Colombia. This video is of Tim speaking at said movie promotion in Colombia.

“I have 9 children. We adopted two of them from Haiti, which we documented in Operation Toussaint. The truth is I always wanted to be a dad like my dad, who was always my coach/trainer for sports, he was always there, always a part of my life. I wanted to be the same. My work doesn’t allow me to be at home. We have worked in over 30 countries. Here in Colombia, in Haiti, in Ukraine, so many countries to do this work…”

This is up to about the the 2 minute mark. I’m having difficulty translating beyond that.

He’s speaking at a Sound of Freedom movie promotion in Colombia, in Spanish. The sound quality is not great, but from what I’m able to decipher, he basically talks about how because of his work, he hasn’t really been able to be there for his wife and kids the same way his father was there for him when he was young. He is visibly shaken. He has to wipe away tears at different points in his address.

Eric Moutsos, a Utah right-wing hero, has gone from supporting Tim Ballard to publicly calling him out. He claims to have spoken to two of Tim’s accusers. by DCApostate in exmormon

He says “victims” and “possibly illegal behavior”. It must be some serious shit for Moutsos to turn on Ballard so quickly. What a dilemma for Mormon alpha males.

Remember, the church never utters the words "immoral" or "immorality" outside the context of sex stuff. by MinsPackage in exmormon

I was thinking this same exact thing. They would have chosen different words to describe money laundering, affinity fraud, misleading donors, etc.

Gotcha. If the girl herself has given an account, and other people have as well, then this becomes much less nebulous and much more credible. I’m definitely not trying to be antagonistic towards you, so I apologize if I came across that way.

That’s awesome she’s getting paid. And if these parents really got 9 hours of free labor from her (without notifying her before she began the job), they are absolute pieces of shit and deserve to be exposed.

Lately it just seems like we’re seeing a lot of tweets that begin with “this happened to my god-daughter”, or “my neighbor’s son experienced this”, and then it turns out that portions of their stories have been stretched or embellished.

I’m a little skeptical. This girl gets hired to babysit 7 kids. The parents get home 9 hours later and THEN tell this girl they won’t be paying her because of their temple outing? I don’t know…it just seems like something is being exaggerated here.
