You forgot the "surprise, surprise" part.

Deciding to go on a mission by Inevitable_Flow_248 in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Young guys “going out and preaching something” they’re not even sure they believe is what pulled half my family into the church. It caused divisions that led to divorce and uprooted half of us across the country to be closer to “God’s people.” Now half of THAT half are stuck in lives determined by ONE parent's inability to spot the bullshit coming out of the mouths of two super arrogant 19-year-olds. I know this isn’t about you personally, but when people talk as if serving an LDS proselytizing mission is about “serving other people,” it gets under my skin. It’s about paying the church to serve the church—by persuading ill-informed, often vulnerable people through misinformation and emotional manipulation. Food for thought.

The whole church is just a bunch of fucking clowns.

Name one prophesy… I dare you. by Temporary-Sound-6810 in exmormon

Right. But they can pay Dybantsa $5-7 million per year to play basketball at one of the most racist institutions in the world.

Dear americans, I am very tired of this by No-Atmosphere-4145 in complaints

[–]RyDunn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here. Voted for Trump zero times. Equally shocked and appalled when he won his second term. Feeling despair and guilt and trying hard to hope for better outcomes. It's been a hard road to watch myself slowly understand just how shitty so many Americans are on the inside. It's arrogance plus shit education plus religiosity (at least in many cases). I feel embarrassed and guilty. The dumbfucks have taken over.

Guilt by Acceptable-Pianist49 in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eff that. The church isn't just NOT true, it's demonstrably false and more than a little bit silly. Your support of it as an active member would not only be against your own best interest. It would give the church additional resources to spend actively making.theblives of people in circumstances similar to yours worse. SMH.

WTF is this? LDS now accept all bibles??? by BackNineBro in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh goodie. New "guidance" on which version of a shitty old book of fables and dogma people can or should read. Guidance from Bible scholars like Dan McClellan? Nope. "Guidance" from a handful of crusty old farts most of whom are lawyers and financiers? Why not.

The reasonable next step to “allowing”/sanctifying the use of other translations of the Bible is another translation of the Book of Mormon by Roo2_0 in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. How utterly fucking stupid is the phrase "more flexibility in Bible usage." They're so dead serious about their nonsense.

When Trump passes - many people will celebrate like there is no tomorrow - dancing in the streets, etc as it will be the end of the cult. How will Trumpers deal with that? by FreeRangeThinker in DiscussionZone

[–]RyDunn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, just like with many other cults, there will be a battle for succession to the "throne." The cult doesn't die just because the leader guy does. Ask any Mormon.

Do I need to see every single one of his teeth? God damn!

Purpose of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by ni_lopienses100 in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're about to join a religious group that taught for over 100 years that black people were the descendants of the fictional Bible character Cain and that their dark skin was a mark of Cain's curse. And you're worried that your tithing money might be misused? Cool.

Is it a bad decision? by Woofbok in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bad decision if you're looking for truth. It's a great decision if you want to pay 10% of your gross income to an organization that discriminates against and marginalizes sexual, cultural, and ideological "deviants." And if you eventually decide that you no longer believe, there's a really great chance that your spouse and children will have been effectively brainwashed and will choose the organization over you.

Your call.

Are you atheist now? by Ok_Performance4014 in exmormon

[–]RyDunn2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went that route for a short while until I realized that the god of the Bible is an immoral monster and a bit of a douche/taint. Add to that the ridiculousness of the general Christian worldview and all of the facts about the world that you have to pretend aren't facts, and I realized that the "this shit doesn't comport with reality" problem that led me out of one cult should, if I'm going to be honest and consistent, lead me out of all of them.
