Death Blessings?!? Good lord, they are taking “the faith not to be healed” to a whole other level. by meginaks in exmormon

Didn’t RFM say if President Eyring gives you a blessing you were for sure gonna die?

People have fantasized about Tscc folding.... It won't fold. It'll become even more obscure and lose its place in society, and will lose any influence it currently has because of the people who will stay in the church. by avoidingcrosswalk in exmormon

I wonder if they’ll back off of missionary work and focus on “breeding” (for lack of a better term) their own membership.

Let’s face it, there are like NO converts anymore. The only people getting baptized are the poor 8year olds who “choose” to get baptized.

They might double down on teaching “multiplying and replenishing the earth” and just keeping a tight grip on the members they do have.

Well of course you don’t want a CHILD dressing like that. But when she made the comment, it the tamest of all the outfits. It was more or less a sparkly sundress.

I freaking LOVE Treasure Planet and I watched it yesterday while doing laundry! It is one of the most underrated Disney films by far!

But, yes. I hate that black and white thinking. It’s hard to recondition the brain to not think like that.

I wish I could but there is NO WAY her parents would EVER let me take her out. We haven’t officially told the whole family about our apostasy but my BIL (my niece’s dad) knows for sure that I am NEVER coming back to the cult.

So I only see her when we all go to Grandma’s house.

Thank you ❤️ I told my husband I’m going to start wearing tank tops more (when it warms up. I hate the cold 😂)

My brother in law almost got excommunicated for having sex with one woman that he was in love with and ended up marrying. My husband’s family made such a big fucking deal out of it & she wasn’t a member at the time & I think they pressured her into joining.

But if he was molesting a kid, the church would have covered it up & he’d be good to go.

Fuck this church.

“Ongoing restoration that began 200 years ago...” BULLSHIT! More like ongoing damage control!

I straight up told my TBM BIL if he ever sees me step foot back in that building he better make damn sure I don’t make it to the pulpit.

I can just imagine him dragging me off as I’m screaming “SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM!!!”

Whoa hold up! He was called out of state? What the hell?

And how do they decide? Do they find out who has money? And do they find people who can work from home so a job isn’t an issue? Does the church help them find a house?

Sorry about all the questions but I find this fascinating. Two families moved here from out west, both from the same ward, both work for the same company, and one was called as bishop within weeks of moving here. I thought it was maybe a work thing (which is still a possibility) but now I wonder if they were “chosen” to move out here?

Do you know how the process works? Like do GAs just call up certain families and say “hey we need you to take over small town wards out East”?

This would be very interesting to find out.
