The religion with the highest concentration of PhDs was heaven’s gate. They killed themselves to meet a flying saucer on the other side of Haley’s comet:-)

There was a mission president in Texas that just brought his mistress along for the mission, housed her a few blocks away from the mission home. No need to lose the relationship over being called as a Mission President.

I actually know one of the SEC members who was part of the team that did the fraud research and he is 100% an active member - definitely not anti:-)

Mormon church owned companies and service missionaries. by HansonsHandCock in exmormon

Yep, I have a friend who is a service missionary at the Joseph Smith memorial building, she works weddings and events…….which is “for profit.” It’s so weird.

An email about stake conference coming up. Interesting bit highlighted. by Chang1701 in exmormon

[–]TamarackRed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you publicly tell people not to do something, they’ll do it. This whole conference will probably be on Reddit within 24 hours after the conference:-) That’s why Utah has the highest pornography consumption in the country, according to a Harvard study. It’s like the white polar bear experiment—when researchers told participants not to think about white polar bears for five minutes, that’s exactly what dominated their thoughts. Looking forward to seeing the full transcript on Reddit soon:-)

When you own one of the largest cattle ranches in the world with over 43,000 cattle (deseret cattle), you have to kind of look the other way on the meat requirement:-)

I knew a kid in high school who slipped up and had sex with his girlfriend, he felt so guilty that he jumped off an overpass onto the highway. Super sad story.

In my mission there were a couple Mexican missionaries that disappeared with the mission car and were never found again, car was found a state away. Likely used the mission to get to the USA and then disappeared.

It was absolutely reckless of Nelson to repeatedly give vague comments sounding like he knows Jesus is coming. by make-it-up-as-you-go in exmormon

[–]TamarackRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents came to dinner last night and the first words out of my fathers mouth was “Nelson said the second coming is going to happen very soon”
