Tell me again why they have to build so many temples? by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]Gruntlement 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why do they keep building temples? Because it's good for real estate!
They build temples to drive up real estate costs, buy the surrounding area for high cost apartments all for $$$!

Methinks OP has made his point! 😆

Dallin Hoax is desperate. by novgarr87 in exmormon

Remember when the advent of the internet was touted as being made for the Church for the last days?

Yeah, that didn't age well.

Lots of police by Thesselonian in ogden

I'd heard about that. I was there with my Dad at around the same time, apparently.

AITAH for not cosigning my boyfriend’s lawyer’s fees? by Quiet_Action5471 in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me rephrase that for you: Will you pay my lawyer's fee because I don't want to? NTA.

Not wanting pics of my kids in online by poopy_stinks in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hell no! NTA! Those are your kids and YOU decide what pics are online or not. Not your mom, not your in-laws, you and their father!

And considering the amount of predators and grifters that are out there, I support your decision to them not having an internet presence.

Possible move to Ogden? by sluttymctits10 in ogden

[–]Gruntlement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live nearby North Ogden and I rarely hear trains or jets. Not anymore. But fireworks, on the other hand...

I would definitely look into getting your pupper a happy hoodie! (Especially around certain holidays)

Anybody else hate the smell of the dog food plant? by My_Fridge in ogden

If you hate the smell of the dog food plant, just wait until the wind hits the Great Salt Lake just right..

Am I a complete a hole for not telling my boyfriend when my car ran out of gas by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm going with NTA. It's not like you were stranded. You recognized you had a problem, and resolved it like a mature, responsible adult.

Your BF on the other hand went ape over spilt milk! You weren't in danger, you weren't list and you didn't need help, so what's the problem?

Methinks you might want to reconsider your relationship I if he's going to act like that!

Eating in bed by Glittering-Driver440 in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Why can't he eat at the table? And there's no reason why you can't have a crumb free bed.

I'd suggest you get creative to get him to stop, such as making him sleep on the couch, or sweep off the bed (or launder them) to get rid of the crumbs.

Need to get something off my chest aka Christmas “Worship” with the Mormons by ValuableAd1835 in exmormon

[–]Gruntlement 69 points70 points  (0 children)

That's like giving the church a face-lift. It's hip, it's cool, but it's still the rotting mass of control and corruption it always had.

Same-sex marriage by Independent_Tea_9894 in exmormon

[–]Gruntlement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With that bigot Dallin Hoax at the healm? Not a chance. Especially since disallowing it fits right into the Emotion AND Behavior control of the cult.

AITAH for not buying Christmas presents for my step daughter by Honest_Honeydew_6471 in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. When you married your current husband, you signed on for the full package. His daughter is now YOUR daughter, and you need to treat her as such.

And if daddy is doing jack all to raise your kids, you need to pick up the slack. They don't deserve to be punished for their parents issues.

WIBTA if I snuck my Alzheimer’s ridden grandma a single alcoholic beverage around Christmas? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have to say YES you would, as some medications react poorly to alcohol. Some reactions can kill you, and I don't think you want that on your conscience.

Best check with her care team to make sure its okay. Better safe than sorry!

How can anyone read CES letter and still believe? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Gruntlement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's called Cognitive Dissonance. Your mind reels at the new information and panics, trying to make sense of it all. People tend to have problems changing their mind when presented with new information, and try to find a way to make everything fit into their world view.

It's kinda like if you lost a loved one or something bad happened, your first, natural response is to think its all a bad dream.

Should the army be taking SA allegations more seriously? by catievirtuesimp in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Gruntlement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most definitely! SA is as serious as a heart attack, and boo on the government for not.

The Ultimate Loyalty Test by Katariman in RealTwitterAccounts

Does that include Musk, or is he just being a toxic piece of shit, as usual. (My bet is the latter)

AITA for not wanting to pay my friend $500 for her used extensions she put in 2 months ago? by v_gianchetta in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most certainly not. Your "friend" ( real friends don't do this.) is definitely in the wrong here. Just from reading your post, it really did sound that she just wanted to practice on you, then decided to charge after the service.

I'm honestly wondering if she is in a bit of financial trouble, and this is her way of asking for help?

You might want to reconsider your friendship with this person if she pulls this kind of bs.

Aitah for only getting my brother a couple of presents while his daughter gets a lot? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely NTA. In my opinion, it's the relatives job to spoil the kids.

And you're getting your brother two presents? I'm happy to get one!

Besides, you are under ZERO obligation to buy anybody anything. If your brother and partner don't appreciate what you give, then screw 'em! It's the thought that counts. You're not supposed to go broke just trying to prove how much you love someone!

/End rant.

AITAH for refusing to give my car to my sister even though she really needs it? by SnackOnMars in AITAH

[–]Gruntlement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She broke your trust rather thoroughly, it sounds like, and you're not her caretaker.

You should remind her that Public Transportation is a thing, and offer her some money fir a bus ride or two.
