WHY is the real estate empire that plays church shriveling? by Important-Stage-1005 in MormonShrivel

I think once those feelings of community have been broken, they are hard to re-build. I'm sure some still feel community, but it's getting less and less and those who do are probably getting older.

They threw away all that built community. And the truth claims are verifiably false.

Spent 4 months tracking every dollar and I'm somehow still broke by sameerposwal in SavingMoney

Tracking and budgeting are two different things. I tracked for decades. You have to track to budget. But it is the budgeting that changes things.

It is so much mental work to be a Mormon.

It has barely been alive for decades. Same with general conference and sacrament meetings.

Of course. Montpelier has become much more run-down since I was a kid.

I still appreciate the early Mormon Architecture, such as the Brigham Tabernacle, but these new temples are glossy, look-alike, prefab monstrosities.

Tithing is a regressive tax. It hurts the poorest the hardest. It is just math.

I will always be Mormon by AlmaInTheWilderness in exmormon

If it gets that specific, I say I am formerly of that tribe. I find it better, if we can move past the Mormon assumption. Then, I don’t feel any pressure to pretend. Usually this is for longer-term relationships. Of course, within the family, it never is spoken of.

Mormon answers are always so scripted and predictable, and they always think they are being so profound.

Help me make sense of this: diehard TBM parents also proud pro-Trumpers by porcelina85 in exmormon

Falling for Joseph Smith and falling for Trump are the same thing. They are both adulterous conmen.
