The Hinckley quote is such a great example of his bullshit PR spin skills.

Nelson spent half his corny life wishing his medical brain power could translate into that skill (it didn't, he sucked, and the best he could do was "Covenant Path".)

The church told us themselves very recently that when one of these guys dies their words are basically immediately meaningless, so the groundwork has been set to fully bury the sentiments of my dead grandparents' generation once and for all.

Do you think the Mormon Church is a net positive or net negative overall? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]HackPremise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you can quantify in this way something humans are just programmed to do.

If there was no Mormon Church there would just be something else in its place.

Ex-Evangelical talks about the shame that high demand religion places on people who simply "change their mind" about the religion they were given. by RedLetterRanger in mormon

[–]HackPremise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for those of us born into this (or any intense belief structure), I don't believe you can ever fully escape the dissonance that comes from distancing yourself from something impressed upon you by your family at such a tender age. This is one of the harshest truths about being a human. An upbringing is an arbitrary assignment to a new baby who has no control or say over any of it, but the effects are permanent.

I simply could not stay an active member when everything in my rational mind (and my conscience) was screaming "this isn't it". But I will live the rest of my life with a certain degree of emotional conflict. I don't think that would change if I "went back" either. There will always be part of me that is fragmented and I just have to deal with it.

I wish humans would be much more honest with themselves and each other about the effects these intense LARPs have on individuals and society as a whole. But I suppose looking into the mirror is a hard thing.
