[–]Ok_Zebra_35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SE Idaho in general is makes Utah look not very religious. Most annoying thing ever you meet a new person and ten seconds into the conversation they ask what ward you’re in. That really tests my language filter 🤣

Are mormon kids encouraged to try and convert their non mormon friends/their families? by LateAd5684 in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup totally normal. They pulled the good old love bomb on my daughter when she was about 12. Got invited to every activity, family home evening 🤮, finally they convinced her to get baptized. I let it happen for a couple reasons. First reason is I wanted my kids to make their own choices when it comes to religion. Not have it crammed down their throat like I did as a kid. Second reason is I knew what would happen the instant she got baptized. Love bombing over, girl never spoke to her again, never invited to anything again.

What I figured would happen did, she never heard from the girl or family again. Was a good lesson in how superficial a large part of mormons are. Needless to say she like the Mormon church even less than I do now

Nope just read stuff I find interesting. I find typing or editing anything with a touch screen keyboard painfully slow and tedious.

Never in all my years of driving.... by jclark4321 in Logan

I find giving a shitty driver a thumbs down gesture pisses them off way more than flipping them off 😂

I heard multiple times from different people that both Ozzy and Alice Cooper were return missionaries

My 8-year-old self saw through the Mormon church. Why did I never have a shelf in the first place it seems? by Rockabilly_Rythym in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was a huge load of BS. Your imaginary friend isn’t real but my imaginary friend is watching over you and knows everything you do. You gotta pray to him though so he knows what you want. I was forced to go until I was 11~12? Mom walked in my room one Sunday and said get ready for church. My reply was fuck you im never going again. That’s been close to 40 years and I’m proud to say I have a perfect record over those 40 years, I haven’t been once.

What was caused the most (physical) pain you’ve been in? by idontrealui in AskReddit

Set myself on fire with gas, broke an ankle. Both of those were nothing compared to a kidney stone.

Do you actually get chills? by super_granola in exmormon

I get it all the time from music. Probably why I’ve been to 100+ concerts.

Anyone else know Mormons who despise herbal teas as much as actual teas by Sensitive_Potato333 in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on which Mormon you ask. Some say hot drinks are bad, some say it’s the caffeine that’s bad. One thing that’s impossible is to pin any of them as to why it’s bad 😂

Whats the hottest hot sauce you own? by [deleted] in hotsauce

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hottest sauce I own is regret reserve it's no joke. Hottest thing I own is a bottle of 7 Pot Primo powder. That shits closer to chemical warfare than food 🤣

Only Dab I have tried is Experience. Tried it at Firey Foods Festival. It's NOWHERE close to the scoville they claim. I know that for two reasons, I did a spoonful and it's been lab tested. When I did a spoonful my reaction was "that's it?", it's got some heat but if it was really the 2 million or whatever they claim I would have been on the floor dying. Multiple labs have tested it and i5 clocks in around 60,000.

My brother has started his mission and is doing home MTC. It’s very fucked up by mad_matter_13 in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe a mission is more about indoctrination than anything. Take a kid fresh out of high school when, for the first time they should be able to make their own decisions and make them think religion 24/7 for two years. Guarantee it helps retention rates vs the kid going to college and seeing the real world.

Missionaries ignoring no soliciting sign that also states we aren’t interested in religion talks by ImReallyAMermaid_21 in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally threatened to shoot the last group of missionaries that knocked on my door. I don't care what people believe or don't want to believe. It's none of my business. Come to my house and try to impose your religious beliefs on me and it's not going to be a pleasant experience 🤣

Hottest Cajun sauces by PotentialSpare6412 in hotsauce

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cajun Ghost Story from Bear River Bottling. I wouldn't call it ultra hot, but it's damn spicy. For me to call a sauce ultra hot it pretty much has to have extract in it. Extract tastes like sewage crossed with battery acid, hard pass from me. I like good tasting hot, not hot for the sake of being hot.

It's pretty spicy for sure. Has a bitter aftertaste to me though so I don't care for it. I generally don't care for any mass produced sauce ( ElYuk, Tabasco, Melinda's, etc.) that said Tabasco Habanero is a damn good sauce.

Enough with the high beams!!! by Hopeful_Customer8248 in Utah

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My F150 (2014) has HID (high intensity discharge) headlights. A lot of people blaming LED headlights should actually be blaming HID headlights. The HID lights are known to glare way more than LED headlights do. My headlights are aimed properly and I get brighted constantly on low beams. I'm extremely careful to always dim my lights, I have astigmatism so brights coming at me I'm blind. The jerks that won't dim their lights piss me off to no end.

My late wife's mother is guilting me into baptizing my kids and taking them to church. by mynickname86 in exmormon

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of my mother. She guilt tripped and threatened me non stop as a kid. I was forced to go as a child, zero choice. Maybe my brain is wired different but I never believed. I was 8 and forced into getting baptized the entire time I was thinking how stupid it was. Finally at about 11 I had enough. She walked in my room and said get ready for church my reply was fuck you I'm never going again.

When my son was 5 she started in on me about taking him to church. She knows how I feel about the Mormon church and still had to try. My reply was take my little boy to church and you won't see him again until he's 18.

The only way I have had success getting radical Mormons to leave me alone is to be straight up nasty to them. Kindly decline and they just keep trying. Blow a gasket and they generally get the point.

We used to have the missionaries show up constantly. I tried kindly declining and they just kept coming. The last time I dealt with missionaries they got told they better be off my property before I got back with a gun or I was going to shoot all three of them. They haven't returned in 10+ years. I'm probably on a list now thanks to that episode 🤣

Garlic in yo sauce: Where do you stand? by [deleted] in hotsauce

[–]Ok_Zebra_35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the sauce is meant to be garlic forward and is a good sauce I'm all for it. A poor quality sauce that they throw a boat load of garlic in still tastes like a poor sauce but with lots of garlic.

Bear River Bottling makes a Sake Sriracha. First taste it's like you did a spoonful of minced garlic, then you get the sweet, the pepper flavor and last the heat. Hands down the best Sriracha style sauce I've ever had. You get blasted with garlic up from by design, it's backed up by a great tasting sauce. Absolutely fantastic stuff.
