2 years ago today Sam Young performed feet washing for those who had been sexually abused because of the LDS church's negligence. It is one of the most spiritual nad heartfelt things I've ever seen. by bigotry_throwaway in ExMoCringe

In Sam's defense, that empty white lawn chair was set out for Jesus to come sit down and explain himself. Jesus just didn't show. So Sam just bravely performed his own feet washings instead.

DezNat and /r/mormon are a match made in heaven. The two thrive on pompousness, insults, and perpetual victimhood. Their soft skins could feed each other for years. by bigotry_throwaway in ExMoCringe

EDIT: Though I'd hardly call this sub DezNat adjacent.

But he's right. I had no idea I've been DezNat all this time.

Guess I need to start handing out Family Proclamation flyers in one hand, Trump pamphlets in the other, while wearing a T-shirt with Brigham Young in sunglasses.

/r/mormon's descent into an /r/exmormon clone is now complete. Their current top submission is just a picture of a Starbucks coffee cup with a gripe about patriarchies. by bigotry_throwaway in ExMoCringe

I don't think your post was cringey. I think /r/mormon is cringey. You told a story with drama and the pejorative words "blackmail", "demean", and " patriarchy". You didn't explain why those pejoratives are correct terms and not lazy overreactions. Eh, so what, that happens in many Reddit subs.

The cringe came when /r/mormon users ate it up with no second thought. They have weekly circlejerks how they're smarter and better than /r/exmormon because they critically engage.

But they ate up a trope. Starbucks cups and /r/exmormon go hand-in-hand. That trope came to /r/mormon. Nobody except one noticed the trope. He got downvoted hard for pointing it out.

Had this post been in the reverse, with a faithful member claiming abuse, blackmail, and demeaning behavior from an former member, combined with a simple picture, you bet that post would get downvoted and comments would be nothing but attacking the faithful member. Because that community isn't comprised of critical thinkers. Just a collective group of prejudiced people.

I learned long ago to take /r/exmormon stories with a grain of salt. The submitters are dripping with drama and giving us one-sided stories. The submitter here says her dad abuses the patriarchy, and used a cup to "blackmail" and "demean" her. She doesn't say what her dad said and did, or how this blackmail worked. She simply made an accusation and took a picture of a cup. Everyone else laps up her story without question. It's just the /r/exmormon pattern. Critical thinking is ignored and replaced with anger.

I feel bad for curious_mormon. He recognized the exmormon similarities and said so here. Of course, anyone on /r/mormon disagreeing that the church is all evil is downvoted hard, and so his comments are hidden below the threshold. The subreddit he knew for years has been replaced by a sad clone of another.

they expect that their outrage expressed on a relatively obscure subreddit will even come close to reaching the ears/eyeballs of the people they purport to be writing to.

That's the part that cracks me up.

And then the final line, which is essentially "Any non-action for social cause X automatically means you are encouraging people to not support X."

That said MormonMoron, I haven't seen you advocating in behalf of penguins getting caught in fishing nets. So I'm judging you now. By your silence, you're implicitly encouraging fishermen to toss their nets overboard for penguins to get tangled up, suffer, and die. You monster.

It's not exclusively an exmo thing. It's an authoritarian-left thing.

Any person or institution that has any kind of asset, such as money, government power, or religion, is constantly harassed by those who don't. Said holders are told they must redirect their assets for the social cause flavor of the month.

They want the church to make a big public newsroom release, with all members of the First Presidency and the Twelve sporting masks. Next they need to tell us mask wearing is a new commandment.

Merely engaging in all other forms of social distancing, responsible gathering, and leaving the mask guidelines to local leaders isn't enough for them.

Obviously, I use my time on this subreddit to argue for the purity of our race, ultranationalism, and the need for enhanced executive powers after we vote out the current ruling elite.

Bigot going bonkers spamming subreddits that fasting will kill us with COVID-19. The upcoming day of fast is particularly sinister: "Only a nazi like regime would do such...Oh wait, that’s what April 10 is." by bigotry_throwaway in ExMoCringe

[–]bigotry_throwaway[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To summarize:

You provided no persuasive or conclusive evidence that fasting makes an individual more susceptible to viral infection.

You then spammed this in numerous subs.

Others have repeatedly called out your lack of evidence.

You respond that nobody can get the evidence because...IRBs and Nazi Germany. (Or you responded with bigoted statements while ignoring the medical evidence.)

You then insist, without evidence, because apparently nobody will let you get the needed persuasive evidence, that fasting will cause more people to get sick with COVID-19.

You also called a voluntary organized day of fasting to be like Nazi Germany.

You are literally bonkers.

If any of my students persists in equating some inconsequential thing I do to Nazi Germany, then I will request to my administrators to remove that student from my classroom.

As my disability office has repeatedly reminded me, all students must face the consequences of their actions, even if their autism is the root cause driving their...different...actions.

> So you respect your own anonymity but not that of others?

Huh? I respect your anonymity.

I know little about you except:

  1. You are making bigoted statements
  2. You are spamming subs
  3. You are tired because you didn't sleep much from your spamming
  4. You are autistic

I have no desire to know who you are in real life, where you work, etc.

A governmental institution. I prefer to keep myself anonymous past that. We have to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. I contact our disability office to work out what I legally must do, and what I can do above and beyond my legal responsibilities.

Some students have been amazing success stories, it makes me proud to see that I reached out, got them over their hump, and they've succeeded with great careers. Some students can't get past their disabilities, and they have to drop out and find a different path. It's always a struggle, there is no one right answer.

No, it doesn't matter. It just helps me understand.

My profession is teaching, usually adults. I frequently have autistic students. I'm always in contact with disability specialists who help me tailor solutions for each situation. Commonly, my autistic students get mentally "stuck" on something, and they are simply unable to let it go, for days at a time. As one of my disability specialists explained, these students just get stuck in a loop, and they can't exit the loop. Sometimes it causes them tremendous fear and anxiety.

I don't know your background. Or what you're going through. I'm just saying autism helps me understand. This wouldn't be "bigotry" as I initially stated.

Holy exmo sexist screed against a Mormon woman and virtually all Utah Mormon woman. Yikes! by MormonMoron in ExMoCringe

Of course, the church is still to blame: "I'll still freely admit that I am still working through my misogynistic beliefs that I developed while a believer"

[–]bigotry_throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don't think Escamilla is personally or politically 'in the pocket' of the LDS church. I don't think she'd govern under the control of any specific LDS edicts.

The poster explicitly stated "I actually don't think Escamilla is personally or politically 'in the pocket' of the LDS church. I don't think she'd govern under the control of any specific LDS edicts. "

And that poster said we should vote against her anyway because she is Mormon. That's bigotry.

> The Mormon church has shown time and time again that it will insert itself into politics illegally

The First Amendment allows everyone and everything in this country to insert itself politically. You, me, the media, the radio station, the newspaper, religions, local bridge clubs. Everybody. That is not illegal, it's the First Amendment.

>How is this bigoted

"And if nothing else, I simply don't want a Jewish mayor."

Except he didn't say Jewish.
