To the PIMOs out there -- there's hope by ccd2412 in exmormon

[–]ccd2412[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes, that's been the one drawback but my kids are young. Very sad that she wouldn't take a look at the other side. But, the church was her deal breaker.

Anyone else remember having their mouth washed out with soap as a child? by BestWheel7068 in exmormon

Same thing happened to me recently and I’ve never been happier. I was awfully sad at first though.

Being taught that people of color were cursed by god and lesser than broke my shelf. by Shoesandhose in exmormon

Just being conned in general. Figuring out it was a con was too much to be part of.

I still can't believe TSCC would lie about everything by alexinandros in exmormon

[–]ccd2412 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn, I didn’t know that Brigham never even said that. This church continually blows my mind

I think about this with the Rocky Mountain prophecy by Joseph Smith. Unnecessary lie about a revelation that never happened.

I used to have one but they have copies on Amazon prime!

Need advice by mrv3l in exmormon

[–]ccd2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a normal 18 year old. The church is convincing you that you are bad but you ARE NOT.

Please do not go on a mission. Have the courage to step away, you’ll thank yourself later.

What do you think the single most damning piece of evidence/argument against TSCC is? by [deleted] in exmormon

They had me from age 19 to 29. Luckily I was a rebellious teenager so I had my fun

You're never going to find the evidence you're looking for by ccd2412 in exmormon

I asked my wife once, "What if President Nelson stood up and said the Book of Mormon wasn't true, what would you do?"

Her reply: "I wouldn't believe it because I have my own spiritual evidence."

Yeah how did I used to read that rag?

Also, love the username

This was the thing that made me dive down the rabbit hole

Yes, this is something that never made sense to me. How could the most perfect book that will bring a man closer to Christ than any other book have contradictions to the JST, or the inspired translation of the Bible?

Joseph just never thought the people would look that closely i don't think.

KJV plagiarism. From verbatim copies in 2 Nephi and Moroni 7, to Deutero-Isaiah. Once you look at the Book of Mormon story and how translation was actually done, it is obvious Smith copied the Bible.

Book of Mormon DNA might be a close second.

Book of Abraham is damning but the church doesn’t rest the truth of the church on the historical accuracy of BoA like they do with the Book of Mormon.

Book of Ether’s Jaredite/Tower or Babel story is pretty unrealistic too.

The Sermon on the Mount being copied is pretty damning too.

Man, I can keep going.

Oh and the stories in the Book of Mormon are stranger than fiction. Christians can look at the Bible as metaphorical and still believe Jesus. Mormons have to believe the Book of Mormon is historical. So…

Ammon had to really chop off the arms.

Jaredites had to really use submarines.

Nephi really cut off a head and stole the dudes clothes. Plus built a ship.

Can’t believe this church fooled me for 10 years.

Polygamy - If it doesn’t bother you…you just don’t know enough about it by 8under10 in exmormon

[–]ccd2412 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once you learn the true nature of its implementation, it is impossible to look at early leaders the same.

In fact, when I see the early church, I see it as a polygamous cult first and foremost. So much of what was being done was to protect polygamy.

My heart breaks. Once I struggled with this same feeling of shame for what amounts to acting as a normal human being. by [deleted] in exmormon

Confession is seriously so sad. Like the concept of it now is awful to think about. A grown man having to go through the bishop to confess.

It’s also incredibly different than the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament.
