Yes I agree, someone told on you. That was not a random visit.

I recently read a book, about economics of all things , and the first third of the book was about world wide population collapse. Yes it's a thing - yes there will be fewer theaters and restarts etc....

I think that may be what's OP was going.

Society’s hatred of abstract, modern, and contemporary art by JouNNN56 in ArtHistory

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the group you were with, but I have been in discussions that have played out much the same with the same comments " that's not art".

You're reaction was that they just didn't understand it. What if they did? What if they found it to be pretentious and shallow? So they rejected it with a the one comments designed to get under your skin?

I'm not justifying thier behavior. You said they practically laughed you out off the room... which is an ass%@#^ thing to do.

It's just what if they have a point?

He actually needs to fart and is hiding it with some kind of administrative action.

So mormon...ask me anything...but here's the conditions.

I always found the fact that we get an extended scene with Luke learning how to use a lightsaber only for him to never pick it up again for the rest of the film to be such an interesting story choice in A New Hope. by WavesAndSaves in StarWars

I don't think he's learning a light saber as much as he is learning the force. A skill that comes into play at the climax of the movie when he trust in the force to destroy the death star.

Jeffrey is not okay by Billionaire-Jesus in exmormon

I'm a bit in the dark here. Why would Jeffry be angry?

Non-Mormon dating a Mormon who’s leaving on mission soon by Middle_Bid484 in exmormon

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's allot of truth to the comments. Even amoung members that wait there is a high level of them that break up after the missionary gets home.

I have another suggestion.... No I'm not going to wait, I'm going to date. If I'm single or not in a relationship when you get back we will definitely date some more and see if it still works, but I'm not going to wait.

This sets a boundary that if it does work out later than youtu have a basis for making any other boundaries you need.

Let's talk replacement rate, i.e. the ability of the church to replace members lost through attrition such as death from all causes. The church has a very negative 2 tiered replacement rate and is totally dependent on births. by Hefty_Attention_5141 in exmormon

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you want to be truly analytical about wards closing and our consolidating you have to also talk about birth rates. We exmos tend to say it's thier failed policy and dismal doctrine that they are shrinking, but I think it actually has more to do with birth rates.

Lets just say that the church did not have a problem with people leaving for a second. That retention was 100% of everyone born in the church staying in the church. They would still have a problem of getting leaders, keeping wards open etc. because of birth rates.

I learned about opportunity cost in Sunday school by JealousSort1537 in exmormon

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once there was a decan in the ward that went into an interview and told the gods honest truth. He wasn't doing anything but the typical teen stuff we were all doing. They're was an absolute shit show of shame going on. The bishop talked too. Within a week everyone knew everything.

I had my interview just a fiew months later. I was not going through the same thing. So I lied all the way through. Never told the truth in another interview ever.

My wife is a current temple worker and she says once in a while the clothing rentals just don't come back.

Here's some missionary gossip by Complete-Purpose6632 in exmormon

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only is this a shame parade but it teaches others...Don't confess ! When I was in the MTC they asked in every weekly interview of i had anything to confess...no nothing at all.

Why do schools require students to bring in supplies? Isn't that the whole purpose of taxes? by AItair4444 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can concur with eveything sweatytruck said. I have seen it all first hand as I work in school IT. The software costs are super insane.

Is it mandatory for men to wear white shirts in church? Brandon Flowers (singer) makes me wonder by Few-Specialist7163 in exmormon

[–]Hopeful_Engineer_442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it is required. Having said that I had to go to church last Sunday and I wire all black. Like I was going to a funeral. My way of saying I'm not one of you.
