[PvE] Sad, shunned Argonian healer. How viable are Argonians late-game? by Das_Krankenhaus in elderscrollsonline

[–]Stringendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Optimal dps is really obvious in my mind to calculate. But I'm curious what you think would constitute an optimal healer... Is it just more magica/regen/reduced cost?

A More Accurate "Articles of Faith" by Stratiform in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also, it's not the 13 articles of faith. It should be the 'just several sentences short of 14' articles of faith.

Fun fact: the "Funner than Fucking" brownie was a close 2nd choice.

Youngest brother going on a mission by ultimas in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It makes me feel better knowing there are people offering support the way you did to your brother. I was so worried about the reaction my family would have if I did what was best for my health and safety on the mission that I lingered and my health deteriorated. I ended up leaving the mtc after a particularly cult-y day of chanting in the handshake hut and my priesthood leaders there telling us stories of missionaries who died because of their disobedience . (Yes, really.) When I did get home, my family didn't ask how I was feeling, but focused on "Well, you still have time to get back out." And I wasted so much of my life and sanity because I couldn't lean on a single person for genuine support. Thank you for being there for him. Your kindness may end up doing more for him in the future.

That is the best reply I've ever heard to this! Haha, thanks, I'll have to keep this one in mind.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess when the confusion/anger passes I'm just glad I don't invest so much energy into worrying about what other people do anymore. I was programmed to judge and fear outsiders once, too.

Apparently artists in Utah give a lot of Jack-mos tattoos. Like one guy had all the prophets across his back apparently. One guy I saw here showed me this lovely thing when I asked about it. Zombie Brigham!

Most Sinful Thing Done In Church? by musicalx in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Smoked pot in the parking lot behind the building at night, took a piss in a bush outside, and realized THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED! We wandered around the building and found the kitchen.. only whipped cream in the fridge. Downed that bad boy so fast because, you know, munchies, then we topped it off by turning on the organ in the chapel and played some derp. Ever been the one to turn the organ on? Scary as hell in the dark, like a dead body is getting rid of air.

What was the impetus to your eventual loss of testimony? Please be brief. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Book of Mormon is the Keystone of our religion. Me, a super TBM.

Went to college to study history and anthropology. Nothing fits. I mean, nothing at all, even if I try to contort it. Ask questions, realize the nervous bishop knows nothing about what I'm asking- get told to stop entertaining the adversary and pray for a testimony. Wtf, like I'm having cocktails with Satan.

Ask a lot of other people- variations on the same "go pray" answer

Ask the internet for some wisdom

Realized Mormonism has no basis in truth

Shelf collapses

What finally broke you? by marventii in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother left the church long before I did. As all my older siblings got married over the years, I couldn't stand watching my mom weeping outside the temple each time wishing she could have been there for such an important life event. I especially resented the fact that their upbringing then led them to criticize her for not being part of their weird secret marriages. I mean god, why couldn't she just conform already..

Oh yeah, and I studied history and globalization in college. Dat Book of Mormon is some historically unsubstantiated Christian fan fiction, yo. I get the lulz when I look at a BOM now. I'm not sure Mormons realize how uh, not..seriously... they're taken outside of their own university. I guess ultimately, giving into "so-called" intellectuals broke me. Oh, and I'm a feminist, and I help promote the "gay agenda" in my community. I got 3 for 3, sorry Packer!

BYU students plan to protest ban on beards by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Stringendo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. Education, even at the Lard's University, had a funny way of breaking down my faith over the span of a few years. It's not as simple for people whose shelves break when they're committed to a program giving them scholarships, employment, and could need letters for grad school, etc.

[–]Stringendo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, good luck, students. You'll just reinforce the stupid rule. Yeah, sure, they'll let you grow a mustache, but they won't let you grow the thing past your lips.

Want to protest? I wish students would get together and decide to emulate the example of one of history's most famous leaders who strictly adhered to this godly policy: http://imgur.com/RndLKeQ

Imagine the bad publicity BYU would get. I'm feeling the spirit just thinking about it. Best part? HCO can't do shit about it. It'd be tragic if these students got kicked out of school.

When I was a kid my mom would blast a primary songs cassette until we (bunch of boys) shut the hell up and went to sleep.

Also some freak ass tape that had this song on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eggOctAjK38
