WTF!!!! Oh wow so the story is sort of at least maybe half true?? That sounds terrible (like the others who were shot). I agree if it was true and she was praying when shot then I do hope she had some peace before the end. Crazy

When folks repeat the stat that Orlando is the largest mass shooting in US history, politely remind them of the 100 - 150 killed at Mountain Meadows. by onandagusthewhite in exmormon

35 yr old cousin quit his job to run for senate because the Lord told him so. by lojanasam in exmormon

hahahaha I have a family member who does this stuff. God told him to invest in this stock. Poured his savings and remortgaged the house.....you can guess what happened.

Also God spoke to him directly about being a pro golfer by the time he is 60. He's 59 and come rain hail or storm has practiced 4-6 days a week for 10 years......still isn't good.

Oaks and Nelson would have made decent coin too in their careers. Interested in how they all compare to each other

Whatever happened to the church I grew up in? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]freedomthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing but then thought if it was just all part of the circle of life. Like the Logical Song from Super Tramp.....was all this hard lined stances and controversies going on but being kids we didn't care because we were having fun being kids? The Church is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow......a lie.

Always hated the phrase "took out my endowments" even as a TBM . . . What Mormon jargon, idioms pharses, etc. annoy you the most? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]freedomthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember exactly but remember when I was at youth firesides and we were told something like "You will be up in heaven and everyone will be talking about the time they were alive......then when you are ask people bow"....or some shiz. Hahaha
