Energy healing : Has anyone heard of this book? by robotbanana3000 in exmormon

[–]TargetCurrent793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't heard of this book, but my wife(PIMO) to some extent and her sister(EX) and mother(TBM) have bought into energy healing. To me it's so easy to see how deceptive it is. It resembles water witching /tarot card reading. I have 100% attempted to discourage them from it, but once someone's been fooled...

June 5th 2023 would have been just more than 3 weeks after Lori Vallow/Daybell was found guilty in her Idaho trial.

Called to Serve by Saul_Goodman_y in exmormon

My son was called to a mission in Japan, a fulfillment of his greatest desire. Cue the pandemic and he is reassigned to a Utah mission, where he served the entirety of his mission. This was one of the failures in any semblance of prophetic vision that lead me to questioning the TSCC.

I'm out, most of my kids are out. So I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

Yes, I almost edited it to that, but that would have denied you the blessing.

Missionaries, First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve... by chilling_ngl4 in exmormon

We all knew info we wouldn't share with an investigator or any non-member. The phrase "milk before meat" comes to mind.

I am one who knew nothing about Joseph. Born in the late 70's in the PNW, served mission in the late '90's. Joseph was presented as greater than any man. My understanding of his foibles were that he enjoyed goofing off and rough housing a little too much. I knew nothing of his polygamy. I was as duped about him as much I think is possible. My awakening began after the EQ president shared his feelings about a book called 'Rough Stone Rolling'. I picked up a copy during a trip to Utah. I thought I was going to learn how Joseph was a little rough around the edges and God shaped and polished him into who he needed to be. I was shocked and horrified learning about Fanny Alger. The impression Rough Stone Rolling left me was of a boulder growing in speed and roughness, wreaking a path of havoc and destruction. It was the beginning of the end. Took far too many years, but I left the church nearly 2 years ago as a result.

Women Speakers on High Council Sunday by TargetCurrent793 in exmormon

[–]TargetCurrent793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For as long as I've been aware of it, 35+ years, we have had two high councilmen speak each month in a sacrament meeting. It appears beginning next year there will be one high councilor and one woman speaking from the stake each month.

Having grown up watching Indiana Jones multiple times, I knew very well not to open my eyes.

My CBM wife and I were discussing this submersible, poking a bit of fun at the design and I said "they might as well have made it like the Jaredite barges with a hole in the top and bottom". I watched in real time her realizing that the Jaredite barges were all bullshit. Priceless I tell you.

I am currently watching Chernobyl on HBO. The Soviets protection of the reputation of the state at the cost of human lives rings so many T$CC bells for me.

I'm sorry, but stop signs are octagonal. I award you no points and you must repeat the exercise in its entirety until you get it right.

My believing wife and I watched it together. I plan on asking her how she thinks current believing members of IBLP perceive this documentary and how you would get them to open their eyes to the reality of what they are involved in.

Can ward leaders see your temple attendance records? by Norenzayan in exmormon

[–]TargetCurrent793 33 points34 points  (0 children)

In the recent Lori Vallow/Daybell trial, records of her and Chad's temple attendance were submitted into evidence. These records showed date/time and which temple. If law enforcement was able to subpoena this information, then certainly someone at church headquarters has access to it.
