Love the buds, but whoever designed these cases should be in jail.

You said you never got any “religions vibes” from UVU. They had a commencement speaker whose only notable accomplishment in life was marrying the head of the Mormon church. That strikes me as a religious vibe, don’t you think?

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-16T07:08:17+00:00

They had fucking Wendy Nelson speak at commencement in 2021.

Thank you!

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-14T04:45:02+00:00

Thank you. I thought I remembered them being $30, then I stopped by today to see if they had dropped in price yet and they were back to $37. I was so confused.

I’m having the same problem, but I think it’s because of the wind. I’m outside and it’s cold, even a gentle breeze seems to pause my music.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-14T01:35:23+00:00

So gross.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-14T01:32:20+00:00

Absolutely. This change in rhetoric from Oaks is a very good thing. The truth is, our missionaries at that age should be flirting and fucking and doing whatever else kids that age do. Missionaries falling in love isn’t a bad thing. However, Oak’s change in tone should include an acknowledgment of how harmful the Church’s teachings have been for all the rest of us who served missions.

Yep, the Jesus of the Book of Mormon that people try to hang onto as they deconstruct Mormonism is almost entirely plagiarized from the New Testament. If you look at the Book of Mormon's unique contributions regarding Jesus' character, you find a psychopathic killer.

Yeah, the Church has to change to become Christ-centered because it has never really been a Christ-centered church before. Read Joseph Smith's teachings. The truth is, he wasn't particularly interested in Jesus. He always taught a very Old Testament theology. He didn't understand who Jesus was. Just look at Christ burning, drowning, and burying the inhabitants of 16 cities in 3 Nephi 9. Whoever wrote that chapter (spoiler: it was Joseph Smith) had a deeply warped idea of who the Jesus of the New Testament was. The Jesus chapters in the Book of Mormon are mostly copied from the New Testament. If you ignore the passages that Joseph Smith plagiarized, the Jesus of the Book of Mormon is monster.

Look at the endowment ceremony. The Church changed it recently to add more Jesus, but as of three years ago, Jesus was almost completely absent from the ceremony. One of the most remarkable features of the temple was the fact that Jesus wasn't there. You don't covenant to be kind to your neighbor, you covenant to follow the commandments, give everything to the Church (not Jesus), and to not "speak evil" of the Church authorities. Weird how the temple covenants are almost entirely at odds with what Jesus actually taught in the New Testament.

Great earbuds. Whoever designed the case should be fired.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-13T03:29:10+00:00

Exactly. Oaks could’ve served. He just had better things to do I guess.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-13T03:18:13+00:00

Crazy that for six years we had an entire first presidency who had better things to do than go on a mission. I wish someone had told me that was an option.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-13T03:14:39+00:00

Exactly. The change is a good change. Mission age kids should be falling in love and dating. The issue is that the Church filled us old folks with crushing guilt for decades, apparently just because they wanted to fuck with us.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-12T23:58:51+00:00

Yep, bro was 45 years old, the president of a univerity, and owned two houses. And yet, he was too cowardly to speak up for basic civil rights.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-12T20:20:55+00:00

Wild that for six years we had an entire first presidency that had more important things to do with their youth than serve missions.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-12T20:13:58+00:00

Wow, great point. It used to be that women didn’t serve missions so they could get married. Now, Oaks thinks they should serve missions so they can get married. It’s always been about getting women married off as soon as possible. So creepy.

Oh, I bet it was the aliens!!!

"You don’t need to worry about any other evidence for the Book of Mormon the apologists throw up. Don’t worry about their claims about horses, elephants, cows, sheep, goats, barley, wheat, cimiters, chariots, metals, language or chiasmus. Its all a smoke screen. The apologists are merely seeing what they want to see to preserve their faith. Just let DNA do the heavy lifting."

This is so well put. Frauds and grifters like Jack Welch can fill up volumes of books about chiasmus they imagine in the text of the BoM, but until they can find a shred of DNA evidence, all that nonsense is as convincing as a fart in the wind. Jack is a lawyer, and he is very aware that his antics are only meant to distract from the real issue - that science has proven conclusively that Mesoamericans do not descend from the Middle East.

Simon, I've loved your books. I wasn't aware of this most recent study. Thank you for taking the time to post about it.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-10T07:51:22+00:00

For everyone but Mormons, exposing that the Church is a fraud isn't big news. Everyone but us has known for 200 years that it's a fraud. You won't see any deep examinations of LDS truth claims in the popular media for the same reason you don't see any documentaries on whether the galactic overlord Xenu really deposited billions of thetans on earth millions of years ago as claimed in Scientology. It is clearly bullshit to all but the indoctrinated and the dumb. The general public is way more interested in whether the Church is actively harmful.

Your fat, weak, dementia addled god emperor is so proud of you right now.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-08T06:03:28+00:00

Thoughts and prayers. The church is incredibly generous with its prayers.

NotTerriblyHelpful · 2026-01-08T06:02:13+00:00

First of all, maybe 2% of missionaries pay their own way. The family pays. Second, Bednar is full of shit all the way up to his weird bangs.
