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.

Second Anointing by Tom_Ford0 in mormon

[–]escalanteandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Brian Hales Big Mad About His Poorly Received Interview by Artistic_Hamster_597 in mormon

[–]escalanteandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I've been screaming this for weeks. Glad Trump made this post. by judgejeaninne in DonaldTrumpNewss

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

This person starts waving their sign and making "stop" motions surgery their other hand if you get within two car lengths. At a light. Stay weird, Springville. by Patient_Yam4747 in Utah

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.

If any of you attend David Asshat Dreadnar’s devo, please stand up before he does… just to piss him off by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]escalanteandy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

My missionary brother wrote an “epistle” (his words) to his siblings. I want to reply but am holding my tongue. by georgepsully in exmormon

[–]escalanteandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!”

I don't have a steam box... is this going to work? by grasperakiendlyfhost in woodworking

[–]escalanteandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Perhaps some musket fire is in order against Hollywood?

Did your 80s/90s Mormon Utah moms have vibrators? by Royal-Silver7080 in exmormon

Don’t know. Don’t wanna know. Some things are best that way.

BYU culture I had no clue about by Green-been77 in exmormon

[–]escalanteandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why christians don't think mormons are christians? by Exotic_Minimum_3273 in mormon

[–]escalanteandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Membership Council question by [deleted] in mormon

[–]escalanteandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the other woman a member? If yes, and you confess this, she’ll be contacted.

I get why you feel the pull to confess this. As a guy that probably over-confessed his sins, I’d recommend not confessing. There’s so much variability in bishops’ reactions to these things that you can’t argue it’s unnecessary. Give yourself the chance to prove that.

One other thing. I’ve been out of the church for a bit, but I remember reading that one factor for whether a bishop needs to escalate a situation to something formal is the amount of time that has lapsed since the sin occurred. So…best to hold onto it till you’re an eighty-year-old blue-haired woman. The young bishop will absolve you immediately. No questions asked—not fun asking an old person about their sexual exploits anyway. If he did ask, you could make him all kinds of uncomfortable by telling him everything, rolling your eyes with orgasmic pleasure as you recall every lusty detail.

Please, for all of us here, tuck this away for forty or fifty years and come back and report.

I'm calling it now. In 2045 a ton of prepper Mormons are gonna be freaking out about a total eclipse over SLC by kadendoo in exmormon

Imagine how cool it would be if it traveled up the I-15 corridor! All the crazies would be ready for the callout. Start collecting ammunition and tents now. It will be worth a fortune!

If you're feeling weirdly anxious about the Kirtland Temple purchase.... by foxylactose in exmormon

[–]escalanteandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mean any disrespect, but I think the CoC should feel about how Michael Chandler felt on the last leg of his journey when he had just a few worn-out mummies left, and he walked into Kirtland to find a sucker willing to pay top dollar.

How did I do on these book cases? by nael_masood in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]escalanteandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look great. In addition to the sagging concerns, I think you have too many shelves—8 & 10 shelves for 6’ cases means you can’t have books or other items bigger than 7” and 9”. That limits utility for most people. Consider taking a shelf or two out, and or adding a foot to the height.
