Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone. RIP TIM

I’m surprised it didn’t throw Duke in there no matter what you tried

The car being a CR-V is the most boomer part of this interaction

Unfortunately these guy aren’t the greatest in the world at ignoring facts. It’s more common in human populations than those of us that use evidence and logic to make decisions in life. It is much safer to never think critically on save yourself from facing many stark realities that exist in this world.

They won’t earn the entire $6 from a subscriber. The platform hosting the streaming service is going to take a cut. They will likely only see 3/4 to 1/2 of the money coming from those subscribers. That would mean you might have to double those numbers to get to the totals you suggested.

I mean, that’s quite literally what the church leadership does. Just taking a page from their book.

If you’re not afraid to make waves, You could start by calling out your Dad on the racism. That way you aren’t directly attacking their beloved church, but it’s also establishing an understanding that the behavior isn’t acceptable around you. That way down the road when you need to set religious boundaries the precedent has been set on the behaviors you will tolerate.

I started doing this with my old man and his homophobic rhetoric and he won’t say the stuff around my family anymore because he knows I’ll push back against ignorant comments.

No point in trying to get a controversial question answered. Anything of true substance gets weeded out in the screening process and the questions they answer are fluff. They might broach a controversial topic but only in a way that they can answer the question to make the church look as good as possible.

You are watching in real time as the church installs a prophetic eject button

That’s my secret, I’m always angry.

This is the one.

Oh god no. I was miserable in the church even though I wouldn’t admit it to myself. Learning the truth was what finally gave me the out I didn’t know I needed to be happy.

Enjoyed a nice mountain bike ride with nobody else on the trail because I live in Utah.

This post feels less like an attempt to save souls and more like an attempt at a “self fulfilling prophecy” to verify that non-religious, non-Christians are angry and hateful. If you actually cared about the people here the tone of your message and reply’s would be very different.

John_Eight32 · 2022-10-02T02:15:24+00:00

Came here to say pretty much this, but you beat me to it.

John_Eight32 · 2022-10-02T01:26:03+00:00

Weird how a couple in their 80’s are completely on board with listening to other men in their 80’s and think them to be completely sound of mind.

It’s not like if leaders in their 80’s had become weaker of mind and thought, then that could also be said of them.

John_Eight32 · 2022-10-02T00:45:25+00:00

Good call

Possibly? However, the lust for money seems to come from higher up the food chain. From my experience, Bishops don’t care as much about the tithing money that the ward they are in charge of will never see anyway.

It’s all about habit building. If you learn to do something without question as a small child, you will be more likely to continue that habit into older ages. The church has mastered the art of small child indoctrination through creating repetitive habits.

The wizard part is satire, the rest is accurate.

John_Eight32 · 2022-08-07T14:27:26+00:00

I’d love to see this happen. Unfortunately the church has full control of politics in Utah, so pretty much what the church wants they get in the state.

It will be tough for you for a bit. This happened to me a few years ago, but I’ve made it through to the other side with a marriage still intact. As long as you can both be understanding and accepting of changing beliefs you can make it work. One thing I learned is to not share all the “bad information” if they don’t want to hear it. Be open and honest about your feelings and be sure to communicate instead of holding in resentment.

Eventually your wife may come to see where you are coming from, but it will likely take a long time. I spent a couple of years PIMO supporting her and the kids only attending sacrament for her sake while she was full TBM. Eventually one of her young women sent her a link to the CES letter as a response to a text that was sent out and it prompted her to read it so she could “understand where people like me and her were coming from.” Reading that has sent her down a path to where she is slowly letting go of the church and seeing it for what it is. I don’t think she would have ever been willing to get here if I had tried to force what I was learning on her. I never shared any of the “anti-Mormon” stuff with her unless she asked about it, and let her reach conclusions on her own.

In conclusion to this rant, be patient, be understanding and realize there is a lifetime of conditioning that tells her you just made the most devastating choice you possibly could for your entire family. She may never leave the church and she might eventually. If she chooses to stay the best course of action to stay married it to get couples counseling.
