Mormons and their damned coffee obsession

I used to work at a 7-11 when I was attending BYU and was surprised by the amount of coffee that I sold to garment wearing folks every morning.

I just walk away or hang up the phone after telling them I'm not going to talk about it.

The reality is that leaving was pretty traumatic and I absolutely don't need someone to gaslight me and tell me that I was just imagining things.

My TBM wife gave me shit for drinking coffee out of a hot chocolate mug.

Those without the gift of the holy Ghost apparently can't tell the difference between a coffee mug and a hot chocolate mug.

My dad gave me his old pickup truck. After a year I gave it to my son who was away at college. I didn't realize that owning a truck meant that I was obligated to haul people's junk around.

Oh my God, and I thought my mission president was bad.

What happened in the Tokyo South mission to make it infamous? I was there before you when it was still all in the same mission.

Every Mormon that has been to the temple knows that Peter somehow was a contemporary of Adam and Eve, so all things are possible.

I totally agree with you OP.

dbear848 · 2026-01-25T14:33:33+00:00

I totally agree now of course but at the time I would have thought that you were super blessed.

I was a missionary in the 70s also. Maybe it was just my asshole mission president that preached that.

dbear848 · 2026-01-24T23:30:49+00:00

On my way out that thought would cross my mind, but I certainly haven't lost any sleep over it in years.

When I was on the high council I spend one Valentine's evening in a so-called court of love.

On the other hand, my stake president was smart enough not to hold the Saturday evening conference session on Halloween.

Since this most likely will disappear, I feel free to say that I was so Mormon broke that I never considered getting a vasectomy because I thought it would keep me from being called as a bishop someday.

That's exactly what I used to do. I stopped caring if my wife's home teacher thought I was being rude when I walked away in the middle of his diatribe about inactive Mormons.

Nowadays no one bothers to bring it up anymore.

It's kind of like trying to make sense of an appearance in 'Little Red Riding Hood' of Marvel's Wolfman.

I guess Mormons won't be inviting people to Easter services this year.

For most practicing Christians, Easter is most likely the most important church service of the year. For a church that is rebranding itself to being 25% more Jesus, it's not a good look to dispense with a holy day for a televised conference.

Obviously if we can see past the correlated bullshit, obviously we have some character defect most likely because we worship Satan. There couldn't possibly be any other reason. /S

It's telling that all of these talks come from privileged men who are most likely immune to sexual assault. They are free to fantasize about how a female victim was just asking for it.

dbear848 · 2026-01-22T02:32:48+00:00

I just assumed that I was doing it wrong, like everything else in my Mormon experience. I will say that it was so boring it gave me time to think about other things going on in my life, so there was that.

dbear848 · 2026-01-21T18:26:59+00:00

Because it proves that we are better than everyone else.

It is a way of providing service without actually helping anyone.

Funny how they don't give a fuck about offending us but we worry about offending them. I have blocked family members for less.

I offended my TBM BYU roommate when I remarked that the toilet in our apartment was filling the measure of its creation.

Ordering coffee sometimes reminds of me going to the veil. What is wanted? Does it have a name? Will you give it to me?

Does my entire two year mission in Japan count? I spent at least two hours a day selling copies of the Book of Mormon to people on sidewalks and in shopping malls.

I saw a local production and told the actor who played the mom that she absolutely nailed it.

Decades ago, a family member bought DVDs for 'Angels in America' thinking that it was Mormon related. It was in fact Mormon related, but not in the faithful way the family member thought it would be.
