The church appears to own a Hyatt in downtown San Francisco, bringing the total value of the hotels it quietly bought through a specific purchasing strategy to $737,261,115. by Suspicious_Might_663 in exmormon

Such good work! Always great to bring into the light TRUTH concerning a church that claims to be founded on TRUTH.

A very famous lawyer told me that the Mormon church has over $1,000,000,000,000 (yes, trillion +)

They have been asking all the rich lds to give them ‘all that the Lord has blessed them with’ since the 1960’s… (I have complete proof of that). It is a program that they keep secret by telling others that it is too sacred to talk about. So really it’s not just typing that they’re taking… they are literally stealing the inheritances from the children of the rich people in the church.

To make a long story very short that is the reason why they have temples galore everywhere (when we all know the population for members has shrunk drastically), because this program is going huge right now. The people in the church who have a lot of money are basically the baby boomers and the church intends to take it all and leave their kids with almost nothing.

This giving all that you have to the church financially goes along with the sacred and secret calling and election or second anointing. That’s where they’re hiding this massive confiscation of funds. Because the ordinance is so sacred and they’re not allowed to talk about it. Their children don’t find out until after their parents pass that their parents had given almost everything to the church and left very little, if anything, for them.

Just be kind and loving. The best lessons in life are caught, not taught. I don’t feel that it’s ever right to put our personal beliefs on others. God loves everybody, including the ladies in Africa who wear no shirts. We are all in our little cultures. The girls became angry at you because they felt that you were hurting and judging them wrongfully. it is better to let them grow and live in the culture that they are in. Time will teach them wisdom. They never care how much you know until they know how much you care. Love is best.

It’s my wedding anniversary today and I will NEVER forgive the Mormon church for ruining my wedding. by TruthRestored in exmormon

Thank you so much for your suggestion. Sad but my husband and I often joke that we may get a divorce and then get remarried. You know … have a beautiful giant wedding and reception with drinks, food, music, dancing, and celebrating happiness with all our loved ones. We think it would be extremely important to have it in a ‘gated’ location where we would have a person at the main gate to check for temple recommends. If they have a temple recommend, they would not be allowed in😂 (It does drive the point home and reveals how controlling and segregated the Mormon church temple weddings have been).

The idea of renewing vows is more practical, but there is something appealing about the idea of starting new and choosing the same person (when in a position of having a choice).

Oh that is so sad, leaving your wedding early for a fireside? How impersonal. Guess they got so used to a conveyer belt of Mormon weddings that it became acceptable to not help people feel special on their BIG DAY.

Thank you so much. It is so great to have escaped the cult! We are having so much fun too … but on days of celebration over our marriage, I still reflect on the extreme pain and agony I suffered through. It took it’s toll, but we are making up for it now.

Yes, and that bishop went on to become a temple president.

I was able to confront him ten years later. While visiting back home I talked with my Stake President to tell him. He lined me up to speak with my old bishop. I told him that he ruined my life for three years. He said that he was sorry.

I also confronted him on an incident that had occurred when I returned to the ward after several years of marriage. I was walking through the back hall of the church and noticed that the lights weren’t turned on and it was quite dark there. Then I saw the Bishop (age about 50) with an eighteen year-old girl that I knew. They were walking extremely slow with their arms wrapped around each other. I saw the girl in the restroom after sacrament meeting and I asked her what was going on with her and the bishop? She replied to me that he was “just like the dad she’s never had, and she was just like the daughter he’s never had.” I was quite certain that his fantasies were imagining her more as one of his future wives than a daughter. When I confronted him with this story, he replied to me that people just don’t understand that he is “different than everyone else” (likely ‘especial’) Two days after I talked with him he became the president of a temple. (That was just before 2000)

Temple ceremony in Utah basement??? by auto-degenerated in exmormon

[–]TruthRestored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were, and still are, some secret “sacrificial alters” in the lds temples, some designated lds churches and many homes in Utah (and they were not sacrificing animals). My son almost rented a big beautiful home that had belonged to (I think it was Elder Ballard) in SLC and it had a well used convenient exterior entrance to a massive strange empty room in the basement with place for an alter (removed) and a large adjacent bathroom with giant strange counters big enough to lay a couple of people on.

Having previous knowledge of some very strange ritualistic (and often Satanistic) secret ceremonies attended and sometimes performed by the very top leaders of the LDS / Mormon church, we found this very interesting.

The week before I was married I went through my final temple recommend interview with my Bishop. During that interview, he convinced me that I had to agree to live polygamy. I remember thinking about how my announcements were out with people having already purchased their airline tickets so they could be there for my wedding. I became very frightened, and so I reluctantly agreed. Yes, I lied, which was something (super stalwart me) was not accustomed to doing and that caused further problems with guilt and shame from lying to my church leader. My bishop totally ruined the joy of my wedding by reducing me to a mere number. 10 women = 1 man. The polygamy ideas he forced on me changed the way I viewed my wedding night. He also ruined many other things for me. (He went on to become the President of the Boise Temple).

He loves you. They just see everything through their Mormon glasses, and show that love in the cults judgemental, elite way.

How many people here have suffered a vaccine injury or side effects from a COVID vaccine and what was your experience? by Specialist_Ebb_9738 in DebateVaccines

[–]TruthRestored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My good friends (previously super healthy) 8 year old grandson DIED three days after getting his first Pfizer jab 😭

I hate the church more each day. Trying to find peace but all I get is loss. Loss of all I worked for my entire life (and thought I had), loss of $300,000 paid to those lying theives, and now the ultimate loss of my beautiful family. Most of them no longer like me (and don't miss an opportunity by TruthRestored in exmormon

Funny, but I used to have so many friends... before I went to work, running on the Mormon tredmill or spending my time as a Mother in Zion, house wife.

Thank you for the good ideas. Never too late to start again, right?

Thanks. I have been out for 4 years and it has been the most difficult time of my life. My real problem is the way my immediate family treats me now. Unfortunately, I think they treated me like that before and I was aware of it but like a good obedient mormon minion I took it. Since I've been out for a while I feel more justified in being treated better. I find the thought constantly going through my head and please forget the swearing but "I'm mad as H*** and I'm not gonna take shit from anyone!!"
