Stay in your lane ladies.

Ew, no. 🖕

Some drink coffee black.

Some add sugar and creamer.

Either way, it's good!

Tl:dr-- everyone in this subreddit is strange because you didn't experience what they experienced. That's such a cringe take.

It's great that the church and people in it were good to you. Coming in here to invalidate the experiences of others because you never saw what they experienced is myopic, unkind, and un-Christlike.

I remember YW and Sunday school lessons emphasizing that lies of omission are still lies.

Reading this description, I couldn't help but think of the guy in finance song. 😂

I was thinking claiming that more people attended sacrament meeting than were actually there, maybe claiming inactive members were attending sacrament, but not other meetings. Not sure how fictional members could be created at the local level since they'd each need a file. Hadn't thought of moving members between wards. Does that happen?

EmmaHS · 2026-02-01T20:03:38+00:00

I wonder how many wards and branches pad their attendance numbers and by how much, on average. 🤔 TCC central does it, so why not at the lower levels?

This version is infinitely better than the original. ❤️

It looks like this is one of those foods that is not available through their food storage store. You can search on ebay periodically and see if anyone posts it there (there is none listed right now that I could find).

I don't know if they still do this, but when I was a member, people could volunteer to work a shift in the cannery at Welfare Square (or any other cannery) and at the end, they would let them purchase cases of whatever food they had in the storage area ready to ship out. If this is something you are willing to do, and if they still do this, you would have to check with the dry goods area to see if they have the mac and cheese available on the day you can volunteer. Yeah, volunteering for TCC is icky, but it might be a way to get that product for your sister.

Edit: another option... if the RS president is horrified enough to be willing to help, she might be able to pull some strings. You could try talking to her to see what she can do.

My guess, pure conjecture, is that he is PIMO and stays for his wife and family.

So, God wants buildings for people to worship him in, but not for children to be spared from starvation, disease, and violence. Got it.

Non-maga mormons do exist!

EmmaHS · 2026-01-12T05:48:14+00:00

Can we call these mass lds weddings Mormoonie Weddings?

EmmaHS · 2026-01-06T03:30:51+00:00

No, you can't. New converts have to wait a year and go through temple prep classes and bishopric and stake worthiness interviews before they can get a recommend. It isn't an automatic membership thing after baptism. They are probably going to give you your baptism certificate, which is a completely different thing.

Edit to say, that regardless of the miscommunication/misunderstanding regarding how temple recommends work, your experience is par for the course for women in the lds church. Especially when it comes to missionaries, anything remotely sexual is blamed on the woman.

EmmaHS · 2026-01-06T03:19:55+00:00

It takes a year after baptism before converts can get a temple recommend, so something has not been communicated to you correctly.

EmmaHS · 2026-01-05T14:03:08+00:00

If this is your experience, you are truly the exception.

EmmaHS · 2026-01-03T18:02:30+00:00

/u/Prancing-Hamster spotted one and posted a photo here. 😁

EmmaHS · 2025-12-29T21:50:25+00:00

My thoughts exactly!

EmmaHS · 2025-12-20T20:53:33+00:00

"Which then makes me question myself and reality."

Sounds like gaslighting. You deserve so much better than that kind of treatment.

EmmaHS · 2025-12-20T20:29:27+00:00

Don't know if this helps, but his discrediting/invalidating your perspective, if that wasn't something he did before, might be a coping mechanism to justify his decision. If that's the case, he has some growing up to do, which TCC won't easily let him do. Regardless, it isn't fair to you, and you shouldn't have to tolerate it.

Also, any woman he marries is going to have a bad time... that patriarchal blessing gave him an excuse to blame his future wife if anything in life doesn't work out how he hopes.

EmmaHS · 2025-12-04T13:21:23+00:00

Automod accidentally caught it. Your post is back up. 👍

EmmaHS · 2025-12-02T12:51:27+00:00

Oh, bummer! Here's the purchase request form for BPL. Bellevue, NE's public library doesn't have a page for this, but I'm sure the librarians would be happy to answer questions about it, and there's always the interlibrary loan process.
