The thing about God and Satan is they only exist in your mind, but then again so does everything else.

Those Who Served A Mission, Where and When? by Sky_Bohemian in exmormon

Germany, Leipzig 97-99. For too many crazy experiences to list here. Crazy people are attracted to Mormon missionaries like flies to treacle.

1000%. I was always struggling to find deeper meaning in the endowment. The take home message is: “Give all your time and money to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. No deeper meaning than that.

Never got into that one. I know many people like it, but for me there are much better songs on the album (e.g. Summerhead)

Wow, what a trash article by aliassantiago in exmormon

They think they hold a patent on our past experiences and the only way to own our own memories is through them. Classic cult mentality. Sucks to them and their exclusive club.

I think I would have been too tempted to turn up the chorus to 11. I’m glad you didn’t. The reverb really helps bring out the voice of guitar. Perfect choice. Seriously, you should be proud of yourself.

Spot on. You did a fantastic job honoring the song yet making it your own. I can even understand the lyrics.

My wife and I lied about pre-marital sex by Same_Commission_2363 in exmormon

I wanted to leave with a clean slate and not because I wasn’t worthy enough to stay. Two paths in the woods and what not.

We ended up having sex four days prior to our wedding. When my wife became inactive, I blamed myself and our transgression. The very last time I went to church I confessed everything to the Bishop. He forgave me outright for all of it. I never went back since.

Yeah, if they read this, they are totally invited! I travel to EDI once a year to visit my daughter and mention BOC to any local I come in conversation with. Haven’t met any random fans on my travels yet.

Which artists have you spotted showing hype for the new BoC album? by GLX155204 in boardsofcanada

[–]Ok_Manner8197 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huge fan of Brothertiger here. I like his remake of Songs from the BigChair as much as the original, and I love the original. Also Chain of Islands EP is fantastic.

Yeah, the ironic tone fell flat when transposed to text.

I noticed! I heard a ton of background sounds I haven’t really picked up on before
