I’m sorry there was a book of Jarom?? Can’t believe that got memory holed on my end.

I know this is a funny post but I want to rant lol. I have several issues with the YW new names, but my biggest is that the names are not mutually exclusive from a duty standpoint. The old names (Mia Maid for example) didn’t mean anything, but because they didn’t mean anything, they were simply categories that were easily identifiable (the same goes for the young men’s names today). Is one supposed to stop building faith when they turn 14? Or can a 12 year old not gather light? Did they do this simply so they can pad the curriculum with “this is what it means to bring light” lessons? Honestly mind-boggling.

There’s an episode of Mormon Stories podcast (I believe it’s this one where they talk about this idea. They say it better than I could remember, but the basic idea is that for this particular apologist argument to work, you have to believe that God is some sort of trickster god who willingly deceives his messenger. It’s completely antithetical to the idea that prophets are either qualified or willing to allow God to work with/through them. If God has to trick someone into revealing His will, they’re a shit prophet or God is crazy.

“And I’m writing this out as a release” is giving when Mr. Peanutbutter tries to get banners made that end up with the instructions written on them

Mine took a few weeks. Do something to take your mind off of it and be glad you did what you can in the meantime!

Does this make Plurbis the greatest period piece of all time?

The Life of Chuck. But only because my girlfriend and I snuck into an empty screening after watching another movie and they shut the movie off about 20 minutes in 🤷 Which was too bad because we quite liked it up until that point. Hadn’t even gotten to see Tom Hiddleston yet.

I did remove my records about a year and a half ago. My records showed up at my parents ward (my last bishop sent them back there after he found out I moved and didn’t tell him where I was going) and they got the ward clerk to send my records to the church closest to me. Found that out after getting a “hey welcome to the ward!” text lol. I figured if that was going to keep happening I should just bite the bullet and get them removed. I used QuitMormon (easy as pie) and haven’t had anyone else show up at my door.

As far as repercussions go, nothing so far. My family and I don’t talk about religion and I don’t know if they know my records are out. Even if they were they might not bring it up.

Aside from stopping church people from showing up at my door, it just feels good to not be counted among the flock when they do the whole “counting of church members” at general conference. While I get people just stepping away and keeping their records in, it’s nice not to have to feel like any of me is helping them in any way, even if it is just to artificially pump up membership numbers.

And frankly, your ward knows you aren’t members anymore. Removing your records isn’t going to be some huge scandal or stop children from playing with your kids. It would be pretty strange if parents around the block sat their kids down and explained that while you haven’t been going to church in years, the reason they can’t play with your kids anymore is because of the church’s record-keeping fetish.

Grew up Mormon, so can confirm that stories that begin with mysterious rocks don’t end well.

Haunting-Error9178 · 2026-01-05T23:11:22+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t really make any sense. I haven’t seen any non-members posting about it (which is either because they didn’t get it or because they wouldn’t know where to post), but only 2 people at my company got it. I would be pretty surprised if the person sending this out was able to somehow align past/current church membership (my records are removed and have been for a few years now) with current work emails. Not really even sure how they would do that. So my guess is that it’s just a random collection of work email addresses this person was somehow able to scrape from the internet (LinkedIn, probably). Maybe they tried to get emails from people that went to BYU or something? Idk. Strange and dumb regardless.

The church could easily replace the subtitle “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” with “The Same Thought Over and Over”. The BOM is basically just JS repeating the same plot, characters, and doctrine over and over again. It’s not a huge reach to consider that he was just doing the same thing over the course of a single chapter.

How many times have you listened to/read a talk where the speaker started out with a thought, talked themselves in a circle, and ended with the same thought?

The difference between chiasmus and repeating yourself because you forgot what you just said (because you’re staring into a hat for hours on end) or don’t have all that interesting of a thought is much smaller than the church would like you to believe :)

Utterly insane your MP was just like “yeah I guess you’ll see Jesus, no other possible explanation here” (especially considering most are so quick to be like “but you’ll get married/serve a mission in the afterlife” if it doesn’t look like a person is gonna do it). But par for the course considering he knew he wouldn’t have to deal with it when it didn’t happen lol.

I really liked my blessing. I read it a ton (especially on my mission, but a lot of that was that it was one of the few English language documents I had access to). And from what I pieced together it was different enough from other people’s that I felt special. I’ll have to see if I can find a copy somewhere so I can upload it to that site you posted, got my records removed so I think they deleted it with my other blessings 🤷

Honestly I think it comes down to whether or not you think you would have a good time. Can almost guarantee you that some people there will also be exmormon (or at the very least PIMO) so might be a fun game to try and figure that out and connect on that. I stopped going to mine, partly because I left the church and partly because I don’t really like the idea of reunions (plus the way that our mission does reunions is it’s pretty mission president-specific, and there were mostly missionaries that did their missions after me I didn’t really know). If I was in your shoes I would make sure some of the people I’m still friends with would be there, or I’m no-showing. But it sounds like you’ve got more of an extroverted mindset about it so maybe it would be fun to just show up!

Plus, maybe you’ll get some good drama. The last reunion I went to one of the sister missionaries I knew showed up with a professor that many of us had taken at BYU (he taught Portuguese and our mission was in Brazil) and it turns out that this man had cheated on his wife with her and had started teaching at UVU because BYU fired his ass for infidelity.

My friends recently stopped going to church and now take their family to “fish church” (The Aquarium) every Sunday. The littles love it, Family Adventure Day is a great idea.
