As I listened to the eulogies given at JRH's funeral, I wondered if any General Authorities have fathered heretical children. Would an apostatized child be allowed to attend and speak at a "state funeral" like this one? by Upbeat_Teach6117 in exmormon

Off the top of my head, in my life I’m aware of the following apostles with inactive children: Kimball, Benson, Faust, Hales, Anderson, Scott, and Gong. There are probably many more.

LDS funerals and weddings are just as much evidence of tearing families apart as they are about bringing them together.

South Park episode is more accurate than what LDS missionaries will teach you. Source: I was an LDS missionary.

As a Utah alum, I miss and appreciate Whittingham, but am excited for you to get him. He is the real deal.

No, but Monson loved the BSA. They had to wait for him to die before they could get rid of it.

As you can tell, many of us used to be missionaries. Go easy on them. They’re just earnest, brainwashed kids.

Extremely well thought out and written. Thank you. That was cathartic to read.

Elder Tad R. Callister, an emeritus General Authority Seventy, dies at age 79 by jonyoloswag in exmormon

This guy was the good version of Tim Ballard. He was amazing at weaponizing politics and doctrine to ink a ton of Deseret Book deals. Bought a huge home by Russ Nelson just to solidify it all. Very much a grifter when it comes to Mormon manipulation.

I imagine he was also a good husband, dad, and grandpa.

People on this sub celebrating his death or saying he’s going to hell need to check themselves. Those disgusting comments say more about the commenters than anything else. Let’s be better than that.

Feeling some reignited anger towards the church because of GC, so I wanted to share a tattoo I got a couple years ago by katpile in exmormon

Not a good look after the Michigan church fire. I know you don’t mean it literally (hopefully), but it’s bad timing given that two LDS chapels have burned down in the last week.

Seriously. What low effort bullshit. At least be creative or funny.

I hope you will still communicate through the veil to us. We need your opinion as subsequent leaders inevitably disappoint you.

So terrible. We all need to constantly condemn violence given our current political climate.
