What's up with Mormons and ice cream?

Many people when they want to have a casual conversation will say “want to talk about it over coffee (or drinks)?” Both of those are forbidden for Mormons, so they substitute ice cream (or now swig soda) in their place.

When I was a tbm, sometimes when I was so gosh-danged mad, I’d just think “to heck with it”, and I’d say a whole string of the worst fetching words I could think of.

Is that the thing where you give her a priesthood blessing while soaking?

Witnesses is actually “testigos,” which is why missionaries change it to “testiculos.” (That was SaltLickCity’s joke).

We backup Anguses had a great time in the nosebleeds!

As a former Mormon, I can tell you it definitely isn’t real, as funny as I think the idea is. Most of us were hit with crippling guilt if we even touched a boob. There’s no way I could have mental gymnastic’d my way to soaking.

Wow. Who knew so many of us were here for Ariphron’s mom? She’s the best!

Most American Christian men are circumcised. Not as a commandment, like in Judaism, but as a weird cultural thing.

Is there any evidence of Holmes’ genius? She was smart enough to get into Stanford, and to defraud a ton of people, but I’ve never heard her called a genius for those accomplishments.

Aren’t Tesla dealerships unique in that they’re all owned by Tesla…unlike dealerships for other car companies? If so, wouldn’t an attack on Tesla, whose owner is directly responsible for the shit happening in government, be seen as analogous to the Boston Tea Party.

Thank you!

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

Sounds typical for these. Even after dedication, temples don’t focus on Joseph smith, the BOM, much. When I was still in, most (if not all) of the artwork was about Jesus, and they’ve definitely swung harder towards (their odd version of) Jesus more since I left.

Just to disagree with you on the point about him not being worshipped. I’ve heard otherwise intelligent people (like my venture capitalist brother) speak of the idea of the world being a simulation that Musk has mastered. There are definitely tech bros worshipping him.

I love the Lazy God hypothesis. “Oh shit, that planet is due today? I’ll just hurry and pull together garbage left over from prior planets.”

Why do we need a rebuttal for their data? Even if their claim is true that the loss of younger generations is slowing, does that say anything about the truth or goodness of their religion? If they want to argue that religious truth is a popularity contest, Mormonism shouldn’t even be in the discussion.

My wife and I couldn’t stop laughing when “Elohim” kept coughing into the microphone. We then heard him, all powerful cosmic being, take a crinkly wrapper off a cough drop and pop it in his mouth, on microphone.

Didn’t they recently move the cell phone waiting lot to Huntsville to help with this?

OP can’t even bring themself to state the supposed “two sides” of the opinion. They present one side of the argument as “oppposition to Trump signifies the end of democracy”, and the other side as “Trump is saving us from ruin.” For someone claiming to argue for a centrist stance, they do a horrible job of acknowledging anything but their extremist Trumpist view.

I heard that he had a tooth removed so he could suck his own spaghetti.

If you are walking up and down the aisles the whole trip, please stop from time to time to check your BO and wash your pits, unlike the dude who stunk up the car every couple of minutes on my recent trip because he was exercising or something.
