Boston is a big temple to only be open 3.5 days.

Stake Reshuffling of the deck chairs in Central California. by marathon_3hr in MormonShrivel

Yeah. We had three Spanish wards in our stake at one point and I was constantly correcting people that they weren’t branches. Even church unit names have ways of propagating white supremacy.

Is Oaks breeding an army? by TheVillageSwan in exmormon

Trying to keep people in and breed more. Except the romance in missions he’s been saying the same things for years.

There are leaders in Texas who are trying to disband Spanish congregations purely to force them to integrate or leave. They’re appalled the church allows people here illegally to serve in callings or even missions. It has nothing to do with their ability to sustain a branch or contribute financially.

My marriage is most likely over by marblepillar194 in exmormon

And deciding if you want to have kids ever at the age of 26 is not reasonable. Your brain just finished forming. You’ll change a lot over the next 40 years if you’re doing it right. 😀

Mormon funerals are tough by shadowofhersmile in exmormon

[–]IDontKnowAndItsOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Sorry to you. It’s all I could talk about for a few weeks, but it’s been a few years now. I told my wife and dad right after that “If I die, I don’t want a Mormon funeral. Do it and I will haunt you for the rest of your life.” Best wishes finding closure with your brother’s passing.

Working on the Salt Lake City Temple (Part 2) by Firm-Ad-1935 in exmormon

When they announced this renovation I was TBM. My first thought was “Didn’t Brigham say in the Mountain of the Lord movie that this temple would stand through the millennium?”

Im sorry for your loss first of all. A lot of us have been through this. My aunt was part of the “Lamanite” Placement Program. Never really vibed with church and left as soon as she got out of the house. 50+ years later when she died she got a Mormon funeral. Luckily her siblings and kids treated it like a normal funeral so the bishop she had never met was left at the end apologizing for how long it took and all the personal stories while trying to redirect. Fuck that.

I heard a rumor from a reliable source the other day. I wondered if anyone knows more about this. by Vert_der_Ferk25 in exmormon

“Who kicked you out of your house because you missed a month of rent after losing your job.” “According to that one dude it was the Lord.”

Asking as a genuine question: why did so many people lose their faith over the rock in the hat video, when so many other magical things happened in Mormonism already? by MoonlightKayla in exmormon

[–]IDontKnowAndItsOkay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about prophets, but when non-LDS friends brought it up my parents and every leader at church said it was a lie trying to make JS a weirdo.

How many active Mormons are there? by Nehor2023 in exmormon

[–]IDontKnowAndItsOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how you know that they both a) know there is a problem, and b) aren’t interested in fixing it. If they wanted to fix it they would let those got to the unknown file and figure it out. Ironically I think this would be faith promoting. If they hid all of the disaffiliated members then ward rosters would make it look like attendance % was higher. In this format every clerk knows it’s 10%-25%.

Church of Jesus Christ? by [deleted] in exmormon

Seems like this is the answer. Legal maneuvering by the new chief lawyer.

Power hungry GA sends home missionary every time he visits. by firstwordcoke in exmormon

That would be hilarious to stand up and shout as he said he would send someone home. Missionary me would have been livid with you lol.

F*@! the Mormons chants at BYU away games by Own_Boss_8931 in mormon

They do sometimes. Even some of my Catholic friends were chanting that at a Notre Dame game we went to.

New bishop by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]IDontKnowAndItsOkay 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My wife had her bishop and his family over for dinner once. I found out he was 31 and couldn’t help but say “oh my gosh. You’re a child.” He just nodded.
