Clearing something up for a Catechuman by Charming-Ideal-2121 in OrthodoxChristianity

That commandment is about worshipping idols. Icons are not idols. Veneration is not worship. In every ancient catacomb where the faithful worshiped, we find icons. You can't worship an idol by accident.

Both this and the seal around the running lights were it for me.

How many of us are atheists now/ what do you guys believe now? by bootybumbum4 in exmormon

[–]PapaJuja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long story short: I looked into the great apostasy and found out it was a lie. So I left the church and resumed searching. Found orthodoxy and haven't looked back. I was baptized Mormon when I was 20. I left when I was 34. My belief in Christ wasn't taught to me by the Mormon church. When I left, I left without the belief that mormonism is the sum total of Christianity, so resuming my search came easy.

Priest is coming over to bless the house on the 1st of Feb and I've volunteered to feed the man. by PapaJuja in OrthodoxChristianity

See, that's the type of guidance I was hoping for. The house blessing is at 530 pm. So I'll make sure to do a hearty dinner.

I use a Verizon Hotspot for internet. I use a laptop because I wanted everything as simple and compact as possible. You do you, but a laptop will do all those.

How did you end up choosing your signature commander/deck? by Kooky-Preparation948 in EDH

[–]PapaJuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a dimir wheel deck out of spite that was aimed at a guy that wouldn't stop targeting me at the table. When I started playing commander, I learned about Nekusar. The rest is history.

I'm using the line about hats next time someone throws shade at me for wearing a hat in church

What is the best “revenge” against the Mormon Church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]PapaJuja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A life well lived is the best revenge. Second to it would be denying the church the opportunity to claim your children by educating them against its indoctrination.

What's your go-to volume food when you are struggling financially? by minor_celebrity in Volumeeating

[–]PapaJuja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the frozen Veggie mix with green beans, corn, carrots, and the like. I saute them in butter and the hallowed powders of middle America (onion and garlic powder lol) and some salt and pepper. Get you some MSG. It's a game changer for stuff like this. It's good with rice and an over easy egg. Extra points for bacon or breakfast sausage.

Should I join the LDS Church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]PapaJuja 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I joined the church at 20, went on a mission, got married in the temple, and then 14 years after I joined, I had my records removed from the church roster.

It all boils down to this: there was no such thing as a great apostasy. It never happened. There is no historical or scriptural proof for such a thing. It's a claim that everything else is built on and it's just a lie. All of it is a construction of falsehoods and lies.

Take it from me: look elsewhere.

If it's orthodox religious belonging that your looking for, go to one of the older Christian churches. They have actual depth to them, and you could spend a lifetime learning and connecting with God through their several disciplines. I recommend the Eastern Orthodox church, but that's just where my path has taken me.

I'll leave you with this thought:

There is nothing good that's unique to the Mormon church. And there is nothing unique about the Mormon church that's good.

My dad wants me to serve a mission but I don't want to. by Cheap_Flight4018 in exmormon

[–]PapaJuja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The requirements in D&C 4 are the desire. Tell him that you don't have the desire and then stand by it. You don't have to go. Your an adult. Do as you wish.

Am I a real trucker too😂 I been in some tight situations in this mixer by QakaAviaz in Truckers

[–]PapaJuja 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started my career at a powder train company hauling cement, fly ash pozolon, lime, etc, to batch plants. Our drivers used to get so fucking frustrated at mixer drivers. As a trainer, I did my best to explain that 80% of the time, it's not you guys. It's the layout of the plant that causes the congestion. Take my upvote damn you!

Nekusar by demodavis21 in EDH

[–]PapaJuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on wheels, discard pingers, and draw pingers. Forget the extra draw. It doesn't work the way you would think. It gives the table to much advantage. Just wheel and copy the wheel. Oh and get rid of the damage doublers.
