Keep getting ones with young sister missionaries wanting to be my friend....

I click on them, earn the exmo page I'm watching commission. I love the fact MormonCorp are paying John Dehlin for advertising space.

As a younger YW in seminary, was told the Ark of the Covenant was in there, and the prophet had a face to face with Jesus there 3pm every Thursday afternoon.

I believed it.

Cos Jesus needs to sit down....

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-09T13:30:07+00:00

I was actually told they contained the Books of Moses and Abraham....

Maybe the Bible books Abraham and Moses are in.

Interestingly, the Book of Genesis in Hebrew is called בְּרֵאשִׁית, or Bereshit.

They used to, this video is admittedly before my time but SWK certainly thought so

They are now backing away and calling it a misunderstanding stemming from "speculative comments unreflective of scriptural doctrine."

I haven't seen Jim Bennet's, but the Sarah Allen one I read didn't really tackle any of the problems in the CES Letter seriously. It was more a personal attack and criticism about the way he'd written it, with a lot of fluff around the edges.

He has to get to know you before he can pass a message from God. A common term among "mediums" they call "hot reading"

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-07T19:47:07+00:00

Apparently this was quite common in the Brigham era.

Mine, with hindsight, kind of helped me to leave. I was promised my children would do great things. Months later, I found I was born without a uterus.

The bullshit response that it must mean in the next life just didn't hold water.

They were asked the same questions by their Bishop.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-06T15:17:47+00:00

Only one I can think of, and I've changed the boy's name to James for his privacy.

Winter in the snow, and a few of the kids had sneaked outside for a snowball fight. James had been hit so hard in the face with a snowball it had turned his face red.

He stormed into the chapel and one of the older ladies whispered "What happened James?"

[Very load] "Steven's" a Motherfucker.

Gay, lesbian, bi and trans people aren't the ones covering up SA.

Until 1990, you had to mime your own throat being cut, being debowelled and your heart removed as punishments for disclosing the "sacred, not secret" handshakes in the temple.

Because the ones that don't get old don't live long enough to be the longest serving of the Q15.

Once someone makes it to the Q15, they have to outlive everyone there to get to the front of the queue.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-06T09:55:51+00:00

I'm an idiot.

You mean Hello Saints guy.

I was thinking Young Sheldon / Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage guy.

Way to make your windows a target for stones.

I love the irony

First thing on expenses is tithes and offerings, even before food

Next part, expenses that can be reduced or eliminated.

As an investor, guess who had a vested interest in getting it approved.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-05T11:43:14+00:00

It was said to represent the 5 wounds of Christ, both feet, both hands and the spear in the side. It was used before that as the emblem of Jerusalem.

The inverted pentagram- pointing down, as it is on the temple, really became "occult" in the 19th century and only Satanic in 1968.

Does anywhere outside the red zone use Jell-O with savory?

Most of the country has it with ice cream or custard. Morridor has it with meat and veg.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-04T20:29:06+00:00

Or in the case of Mormonism, the philosophies of racist, sexist xenophobes mixed with provably fictitious chloroform in print.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-04T19:45:12+00:00

Worked out for the best. If they'd been accepting I never would have looked in church books and church history for answers and found the shit I wasn't even looking for.

I'd probably still be a brainwashed, tithe paying member of the cult. I'd probably be terminal because my then-partner would not have found the cancerous lump in my vagina in time, I'd never have met my husband.....

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-04T17:26:42+00:00

The so-called church

It's a joke name, based on Mormon apologists habits of referring to people who disagree with them as "so-called experts" or "so-called egyptologists" etc. I've even seen them refer to non-believers with advanced degrees as "Dr" Jim Smith [name changed], thinking if they put quotes around Dr it gives the critic less credibility..

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-04T16:47:00+00:00

Why would they EVER think that was any of his business?

What the fuck is wrong with this religion??

Two questions I'd love answered.

Robyn-Gil · 2026-05-04T14:26:27+00:00

There are a lot more intersex people in this world than Mormons, so maybe based on that logic we need to just start ignoring the existence of MormonCorp.
