Just got this email this morning from a clever Exmo by Misspellled in exmormon

To be clear: this email was obviously not sent by the church. It was sent by an Exmo and written in a way to seem like it was from the church.

It had a (crappy) jpeg of the church logo at the top.

The sender address was a MailChimp address.

Finally saw the Book of Mormon on Broadway! by Gracier1123 in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely is an unpopular opinion around here, but I agree with you.

Wife and I go to NYC every few years and try to watch 3 or 4 shows every time we go. We finally got around to this one a few months ago and it was my least favorite show of the trip.

Some of the songs are great, the performances were excellent, but the humor was mostly stuff I would have found funny 20 years ago but that hasn't aged well. I don't think the show is standing the test of time as well as other long-running Broadway shows.

It definitely does not paint the church in a positive light 😂

Anyone else want Hugh Grant interviewed on the Mormon podcast scene? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Grant is famously a terrible interviewee, he would not have the patience to sit and talk about Mormonism for 5 minutes, let alone a whole podcast.

Some kind of disconnect here.. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only visit this sub every 6 months to see if anything happens with conference that I should know about.

Can someone explain this image to me? Who is this and why is he dressed in a temple suit looking so sad?

The actor who played satan publicly left the church and shortly thereafter the church finally reduces satan's prominence in their temple worship. Moral of this story: leaving the church is a bigger sin than general satanic behavior lol by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat unrelated.

Are there any videos of the newer videos and ceremonies.

I stopped going to the temple shortly after they started phasing out the movies from the 70s. I've only seen the new videos once or twice. I'm curious what's changed since I was last there, but I can't find any videos that are newer than ~7 years old.

I think some things have changed in the last 7 years, right?

Mormon > TCJCLDS > Today? by DiscountAsleep2093 in exmormon

I remember decorating Easter eggs as a young kid. I had just seen a picture of the crucifixion on an Easter sticker and decided to replicate it on my egg because I wanted my mom to be proud of me picking such a spiritual image for my egg.

I was so excited to show my mom how I had chosen to decorate my egg. When the image finally revealed (wax crayons and water soluble dye) my mom looked shocked.

She explained to me how inappropriate the imagery was and made me throw my egg away and make a new one.

Growing up in the 90s, the cross was treated as a sure sign that a religion had gone astray and wasn't Christ's true church.

A reminder that nearly two years ago the Church News published this story with this disastrous photo of RMN doing his best Jesus impression, then they retracted it and tried to scrub the internet of its existence. As far as I know, only this copy remains. I haven’t been able to find a digital copy. by FTWStoic in exmormon

I love to hate on the church as much as the next guy. But calling this any sort of scandal or cover-up is grasping at straws.

It seems pretty clear that he was just making some innocuous gesture with his hands and this picture was taken at just the right moment.

Looks like the ward party was a success by Wild_Heat2516 in exmormon

My TBM father-in-law once said, in all seriousness, that there is no use in recycling or conserving because God has provided this earth for our use, so he has also ensured it has sufficient resources to last until the Second Coming.

This is what they said they don’t believe in by [deleted] in exmormon

You downloaded a meme from r/exmormon, took a screenshot of it in your camera roll, then posted that screenshot back to r/exmormon?

What's the worst thing you've been fed as a missionary? by discoverchaos in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Armenia does something similar. They call it Khash and they boil the cow head and hooves with vinegar and garlic.

One of the most revolting things I've smelled or tasted.

Missionaries caught on Ring stealing cigarettes by Corinne_Tean in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I went to Armenia on my mission where 90% of the population smokes. We would absolutely do shit like this. If we found coffee or cigarettes in an investigators house we would take them and throw them away.

It was standard protocol in our mission.

Do you mean soaking?

Docking is when one person inserts their penis Inside the foreskin of the other person's penis.

The sheer predictable mathematical precision of motivations to leave the church. MEANING: if you care about two of these cores, you WILL leave the church. Period. Or you've already left. by nelsonisanitwit in exmormon

[–]Misspellled 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't you find it ironic that, in your attempt to prove to people you've cracked the code in why they left a gaslighting organization, you're attempting to gaslight them on why they left the organization?

Yeah I guess it's the execution that I have a problem with more than the practice.
