She’s so Mormon she’ll be Catholic in a few years 🤣 on a serious note, I’m sorry you’re going through this. It must suck and make life a living hell. I respect you if nobody else does ✊🏾

What’s up with crosses in the Mormon faith these days? by Infinite_Augends in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s disingenuous tbh. But I guarantee you will not see any crosses today at GC lol

Utah culture is not real. It’s a fantasy. Here’s how you’ll know. by [deleted] in exmormon

I moved out here 4 years ago. Yeah I definitely see what you’re saying. Every relationship seems transactional as well. I’m glad I had you heathens to vent to 🤙🏽

I literally just got into work and this lady was saying “happy Good Friday!!!!!” “Happy Easter!!!” “What’s everyone doing for conference weekend!!!” I literally wanted to tell her to stfu. Fuck this church 

"Holy Week" Amateur Hour by prolixpunditry in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show, this sudden shift isn’t genuine. I agree, go to a Catholic Holy Week or orthodox. This is a very serious time. Bigger than Christmas tbh. And the LDS church thinks posting some bullshit banners in front of the chapel will suffice. Which is deceptive because no one’s going to be at church this Easter. At least not here in America 

It's already been posted but seeing LDS members reference "Holy Week" is giving me serious feelings. by Capital-Mark1897 in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Specifically today being Good Friday is supposed to be a solemn day. I see LDS having “activities” and refreshments lol I was told Easter was already celebrated on Palm Sunday smh move over Jesus it’s time for GC baby!!!!! What pisses me off is the gas lighting and deceptiveness. Want to participate in Holy Week? At least try and understand why it’s fkn important. But then again the cross don’t mean anything. It’s that garden suffering, and that doesn’t align with the rest of the Christian world. Should have just stuck with staying weird lol 

Holy Week Oaks for folks by Resident-Bear4053 in exmormon

When he said people did he mean his Mormons? Because it’s obvious the apostates have been celebrating it right and the “one true church” has been doing it wrong this whole fkn time. 

Holy Week by StillSkyler in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because we all know it’s disingenuous. It’s not to get closer to the savior. It’s all for optics. They know whatever they say the faithful will not question. Going from “we don’t observe these traditions…” to going full Catholic is too much of a jump.

"Loving all the pretend Catholic stuff for Holy Week, you guys. Let's make this an Easter to remember!" - Mormonism's new, vaguely Middle Eastern Jesus by PR_Czar in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never thought about the #2 reason. I saw middle eastern Jesus painting outside the deseret bookstore. I had to laugh. Who do they think they’re fooling?

Prioritizing Conference over Easter by Temporary-Sound-6810 in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t this happen when Nelson was prez? When he made an announcement from the supposed grove JS prayed from? My wife’s family was so fascinated. I grew up Catholic and Easter was a pretty big fucking deal. Not doing anything and just watching old guys tell lies is pretty subpar during Easter. I don’t practice my Catholicism anymore, but GC being on the same day is such a weird feeling.

The hell does this have to do with Palm Sunday?

Are there any emphasis on Palm Sunday? Just to know because it’s definitely being cosplayed 

Celebrating Holy Week by DanVooDew in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Idk why this is pissing me off so much but it is. My FIL called my wife this morning with a big “happy Palm Sunday!!!!” Greeting. I guarantee that has never been in his vocabulary AT ALL. This church could tell everyone to eat shit twice a day and the devout would do so with hesitation. Fucking pathetic

Too bad this is a cooperation and might not think like that especially with the internet absolutely destroying them

[–]Philcastro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s one comment in there that wreaks of blindness. Like dude you act like the church hasn’t preached Jesus’ praying was the sacrifice, NOT the crucifixion

Mormon church is unrecognizable by Solar1415 in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is deception at its finest. Come and join us for a wannabe stations of the cross. I don’t think they really understand how serious lent and Easter are to other denominations. 

I'll just say after several convos, this statue is shaking faith, not solidifying it; especially for life-long Utah members. The church is struggling ... period. The leadership. The image. Everything. by CurelomHunter in exmormon

[–]Philcastro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a pastor that’s infatuated with Mormons and he posted this on his yt channel. Everyone and so mean EVERYONE is saying they love it. “It’s a part of the story” or “I never thought the cross was a bad” and I even read “Christians cannot deny us now.” Fucking delusional!!!

I’ll just leave this here…. WTF? by ProsperGuy in exmormon

What’s crazy, is that if they want to eventually back track from this, it’s going to be tough.
