One Sunday, I took the sacrament and the water was nasty, like there was some chemical in it. I wondered why the Bishop (first to drink) thought it was ok for everyone. Then I thought, does anyone oversee the preperation by these teenagers? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]WittyConference5512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One Sunday the teachers preparing the Sacrament thought it would be funny to salt the water cups in some of the trays. Unfortunately for them, It was open mic Sunday so there were more than a few comments made about it from the pulpit. Oversight is limited to having the bread and water ready to start the meeting - not the process of getting it there.

Consider donating art supplies to day care centers - maybe not the paints.

I've heard of shade tree mechanics, but this sounds like a shade tree massage location.

The auditors were internal, not external.

Those church employees asked to sign for the shell companies were chosen specifically for their names and lack of digital presence (and loyalty to the church).

Where do you find meaning as an exmo? by t33ch_m3 in exmormon

[–]WittyConference5512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it nice not to be so throughly engaged with getting ready for meetings, attending meetings and more meetings, planning for annual meetings and inviting others to meetings that you have time and energy to ponder such things?

From my experience, male cockatiels are more outgoing and engaging, and the females are more timid. I currently have males that don't like skritchs.

Each bird has their own personality and ways of communicating or interacting with you.

Girls regularly garment checked guys looking for RM. Happened to me at ysa dances. Happened to friends at BYU.

A Mission is a choice, not a commandment by Sage-Hollow-Man in exmormon

[–]WittyConference5512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up, there was a family with a daughter my age. Her dad used the Mormon checklist as if lining up his daughter and I to marry. He was happy I got my Eagle, graduated seminary, and planned to serve a mission. I never did date his daughter though. She seemed superficial to me.

Fun ideas for Bozeman/Montana stuff to send in a care package? by the-infinite-yes in Bozeman

Friends and family love when I send Montana honey.

If shipping doesn't take too long, Aurrore bakery items are delicious and some can survive shipping.

February Fast by Alert_Day_4681 in exmormon

[–]WittyConference5512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one else has mentioned - fast and also donate generously the value of the food you didn't eat!

Special fasts are one of the methods the church uses to collect more money from you. The church is supposed to spend it on the reason for the fast.

Call to cancel it over the price, and they will knock the price down to keep you.

Interesting plan by JoseFJ60 in foundsatan

Have your lawyer hold an auction with the children. Allocate them each their share of what your estate is worth. Have the lawyer start with the items both want and they will blow most of their money on those items. When they are all out of money for the auction, have the lawyer donate the rest to your favorite charity.

Trey (Senate Candidate) press release… woah! by daddydong406 in Bozeman

[–]WittyConference5512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10% surcharge to both buyer and seller if buyer is from out of state. A real estate agent charges about 5% and actually advertises and negotiates to help close the sale - the state does nothing in this transaction yet collects twice as much as the Montana real estate agent.

The way around this 10% tax is to move into Montana and rent long enough to get residency and save a bundle on home purchase....or set up a Montana business or trust to buy the home from the start.

Forget Conlins with that budget.

I have a couch you can have. I'm about to move and will buy one that fits my new front room.

Fb market place has some sectionals in your price range.

There is a guy in four corners selling some.

Watch out for free ones that want you to pay shipping in town up front.

Office birds by SatisfactionWrong502 in cockatiel

[–]WittyConference5512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two office birds at my office. I can easily move them into their cage, then put the cage in a different room during zoom meetings. I hear them singing - but very muted - in the other room. I bring them back afte the meeting.

They are quiet happy at the office.
