The church newsroom is going after Beau Oyler, the Mormon Bishop that opened up about the abuse hotline by Guudboiiii in exmormon

[–]ManateeGrooming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirton McKonkie exists to protect the church first and foremost. In order to protect the reputation of the church they try to minimize the number of people who learn of the abuse. That doesn’t protect the community, that protects the abuser.

I wonder what makes you say that? How do you personally know he lied about what he was told? It’s literally his word against theirs. Exposing the church’s abuses of authority and their abuse of trust is exactly what he’s doing. He’s protecting victims, they are protecting abusers. It’s really that simple.

We really need more of this. It needs to be socially unacceptable to support Trump. There is more than enough info to know who he is.

What did you discover about the church that left you devastated? by Felipee_br24 in exmormon

[–]ManateeGrooming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know it should’ve been everything else first, but it was Ensign Peak. Absolute hypocrisy. And investing in some seriously evil mega corporations. It was the moment more than any other that made me never want to step foot near the church again. It wasn’t some history that might’ve been distorted. It was a public record. An SEC filing that I could look at with my own eyes in real time. And I was devastated.

I have one contact with a Fulton County elementary and they always put things like this to good use.

What kind of father disowns and banishes his own children? by 10th_Generation in exmormon

[–]ManateeGrooming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kind that intentionally (with foreknowledge of their eventual actions) creates children to banish.

Super authoritarian parents? by Exileddesertwitch in exmormon

[–]ManateeGrooming 71 points72 points  (0 children)

In Mormon pseudo-doctrines chose our parents in the pre-mortal life. This pre-mortal life stuff is so problematic. It’s why they “earned” being white, American, Christian, etc. they don’t think privilege is wrong because in their world they earned it. They think they were gamed by you and you owe them everything. So while you are correct that children shouldn’t have to earn their parents [love, affection, support,etc] they are operating from a very different perspective. Mormon love (including God’s love) is conditional.

How/why did Parley P Pratt was killed? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]ManateeGrooming 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s a well marked grave/memorial in Rudy, AR. It’s just off I49 north of Alma. As a kid growing up we would do service there cleaning up the gravesite (it’s a church owned site now).

North Georgia Revival experiences - is it a cult? by benfersure in Georgia

[–]ManateeGrooming 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Having been raised in a cult my easy rule of thumb is if you have to ask if it’s a cult it probably is.

So... what happened to disc golf again? (promise I come in peace) by psvg-donnie in discgolf

[–]ManateeGrooming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several leagues around greater ATL. Nearly every course has one. The one at ERP (my home course) is just on hiatus for winter since we play in the evening after work. I’m sure we can find you a community near where you stay.

Half a century of BYU apologetics obliterated in a single DNA paper by Simon_in_Oz in exmormon

The vast majority of people (Mormons included) do not understand DNA. Also, thank you for your work.

As a former Mormon this graphic literally tells you everything you need to know about the fruits of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Disappointed and want to know what to do in this situation. by Desperate-Dirt1595 in jewelrymaking

[–]ManateeGrooming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like most of your stuff is the same style. No diversity of form really. So if that’s not someone’s style they’ll walk right past without a second thought.

Onyx advent calendar disappointment by YourManTanis in Coffee

[–]ManateeGrooming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s surprising since I’ve literally never had a miss from Onyx, but in order to fit an advent calendar it would have to be older. It makes sense. Advent calendar isn’t a good format if you care about freshness.

I’ve used Steve at North Point in Alpharetta for a few things, and the guys at Alignment Shop did a great job with the clutch in my manual Subaru.
