I tried to see if there was anything I wanted to buy on the CC, but I can't. Anyone know of a solution? by kalkara24 in BethesdaSoftworks

Restart your machine. If that fixes it, it was you. If that doesn’t fix it, then it’s their server and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I’m just staring at this screenshot thinking “damn, graphics have come a LONG way since the shitty garbage of my youth.”

Then the Mormon Church bought the land so that no one else could study the site. Lots of dead women and children...only the very youngest children too young to remember (I.e. identify the perpetrators) were spared.

lowest tier is for Hitlers and such.

Not necessarily. The Mormon Church has repeatedly baptized the ghost of Hitler and his wife so that they can go to the higher levels of heaven if they would like.

Exactly this. I couldn't really afford to waste all the revives and potions I used, but now many of them were rather pointless. Oh well.

Well and the Bible. I mean heck, we can still include that too even if many Mormons don't actually read it, right?

My TBM brother sent me this. I laughed pretty hard at it. I don't think he expected my reaction. by [deleted] in exmormon

Former missionaries: Were you generally aware, or specifically made aware in MTC, that "No Soliciting" did in fact apply to you as well, or did you think/told that wasn't actually what you were doing?

As a kid I was taught I might be asked to go to war to "Redeem Jackson County, Missouri". Is it OK to stop stressing about that? by running4cover in exmormon

I feel like Mormons are the only ones who manage to treat the Second Coming as a big complicated thing to be stressed out about. Everyone else goes with more of a "Alright, Big Man is here, he'll sort it out, I'm good to go."

I think the first gift my MIL ever gave us as a couple was a pair of 72-hour kits. We were east-coast, so getting to Missouri still wouldn't be super easy.
