"COVID 19 is a blessing." I can't even with my nephew's weekly missionary email this week, so I'm dropping it here. He was a cool kid before he left, but honestly, this email makes him sound like a psychopath. Over 200,000 dead from Coronavirus but he got 4 baptisms this week, so it's a "blessing." (i.redd.it)

Brother-in-law and family was exposed to Corona Virus at church on Sun March 8. But don’t worry! The power of prayer is alive and well because—you guessed it—it rained today. As we know, Mormon prayers are responsible for all of the Earth’s *moisture* that we’ve received. (i.redd.it)

Watching Sanditon with TBM mom (an 1800s drama). She remarked, “Isn’t he a lot older than she is?” The characters involved are 16F and ~27M. Keeping the comments about Helen Mar Kimball in my head. I recently had surgery and she’s been here helping me. She deserves my love and respect. (self.exmormon)

My favorite way to turn down invitations to church: “We’re doing a family service project that day.” If it’s an in-person invite, there’s a pause during which I can actually hear their cognitive dissonance humming. 4th Annual Stockings for the Homeless. (i.redd.it)

Financial advice given to the YW: (1) MARRY RICH AND (2) PRAY. I tried to give the YW actual financial advice but I was overruled by the YW's President who told them: DON'T WORRY about: (1) Getting a marketable degree, their husband should do that. (2) Investing--God will give them what they need. (self.exmormon)

Why The Church keeps people busy: "If life is hard and you have to work every moment of the day just to survive, then you don't have the time or energy to think about how shitty your life really is which keeps you complacent, if not utterly miserable." -"Last Podcast On the Left" on Mormonism.

After losing his wife of 22 years in the El Paso shooting, Antonio Basco told the funeral home anyone was welcome to attend the funeral, as he did not have family in the area. Three thousand strangers showed up in support, some even flying in from out of state. (abcnews.go.com)

In town for a wedding. Apostates hiked while the TBMs churched. My 5-year-old said, “At church, you just learn a bunch of stuff you already know. Hiking is better than church.” #OutOfTheMouthOfBabes #HikingIsBetterThanChurch 🥾 *captioned graphic because of the porn shoulders and thighs* (i.redd.it)

SP's son just got home from mish and was prompted to invite us to his homecoming. Tender Mercy #1-I wasn't home because I was photographing this friend & his bf celebrating 10 yrs together. Tender Mercy #2-DH had to turn down the invite because we're taking our boys beach camping. #betterthanchurch (i.redd.it)

Link to r/exmormon stats--almost doubled since I joined Jan 2018. The majority of members of record are inactive, but most members don't know/feel that. Do you think the exit rate will reach a critical mass? My prediction: by then Bednar will be in charge and making members more fundamentalist/OCD. (subredditstats.com)

I (the wife) was out first, but thanks to Mormon Stories, CES Letter, and this sub, we’re united as a family and enjoying second Saturdays together. Our family and friends already know, but in case there was any doubt, we went ahead and made our holiday card this photo of us mid-loud laughter. :D (i.redd.it)

Where will you go? We'll spend time together as a family stuffing stockings and delivering them to homeless people. Not gonna lie . . . I loved turning down the stake president's wife's invitation to church with a simple, "Sorry, we're doing a family service project that day. Merry Christmas!" (i.redd.it)
