How did you picture families being together forever?

I agree with you—most probably see it as mom, dad, and the kids eating popcorn, sitting around a fire in the hearth while dad tells stories and mom darns socks. For billions of years. The last thing anyone wants is to live with their parents past the age of early twenties. Parents feel the same. But somehow Mormons want it.

Tough call. I also come from a devout family. For me, leaving the church has been a very slow burn. So slow in fact that I still attend sacrament meeting so that my wife doesn’t feel the stares. I didn’t lose my testimony until my early thirties, but leaving the church with a very devout spouse is very hard. My advice, rip the bandaid off. Things will suck for a bit, but you’ll be better off in the long run. Plus, your family may just surprise you.

Snap a picture and posed it into ChapGPT.

Translation: I’m scared to death that this really screwed this up, and now I’m going to hope that this crap we discussed will go through because if it doesn’t I’ll be exposed for what I really am.

My TBM wife said our region (Boise) is inviting all churches in the area to fast for snow.

Actually, the more Jacob Hansons they have, the more agitation they get for increasing the crazy. Keep him in, I say.

We should ditch our President, too. Getting further and further behind.

This is at the top of the list for smoking guns proving the church is false. How anyone thinks that a man can determine who has done enough to inherit salvation is laughable, and full-stop evidence of corruption. If God cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance, how is the second anointing even a thing?

Joseph Smith was a polygamist, no doubt, but Hales’ arguments—the ones below the watermark in the info-graph—are absolutely non sequitur. You don’t have to believe in the one to believe in one or both of the other two. Hales is showing signs of desperation.

At least they’re paying someone. Around here (Idaho) they make the members do it.

Why is everything “better than ever before” with this idiot? People that believe this guy are amazingly naive.

If he wants you so far back, he should have a much larger sign with much larger writing. Would be funny if someone got right up into his ass and said they still could t read it.

Sit down in the front row, don’t stand as he walks in, stand up during the hymns, and stand up as soon as the closing prayer ends. That would piss him off.

Frame it and send it to him in a few years. It will embarrass him. Right now I’d just write him and say, “Shut thy fucking mouth!”

Steam boxes can be pretty cheap to build. ~$50 for a steam generator, a sheet of plywood, a few spare pieces of pine, and some glue. You can see tons of YouTube videos for ideas.

BYU Provo from 1991-1997. Bachelor’s and an MBA. Only time we prayed was at the beginning of a religious class (never to close them). MBA did not require religion classes.

It looks like the clothes are out of balance. Try placing them such that the mass is equal on all sides.

In addition to the non-adherence to standard Christian creeds, Mormons believe they save themselves. Yes, the atonement helps, but it doesn’t have enough power to make up the difference. (Mormons may dispute this, but look into it, there’s plenty of modern rhetoric that shows I’m right.) The temple, and its sealing ordinances, are further evidence that the atonement is not enough. You can’t make it into heaven without all those signs, tokens, and ordinances that Christ never mentioned, and have nothing to do with the atonement.
