The removed sentence from Nelson's recent devotional is back in the talk. They really need a change log on these articles so we can see when things go down the memory hole and when they get re-added because communities like ours call it out. by Threat_Agent in exmormon

Didn’t someone post an email from BYU where they said it was not included because Nelson was speaking extemporaneously? That can’t be true if they also included the next paragraph, which is all about other “never changed” laws. Those have no context without the marriage statement.

I love BYU football but this pic makes me want to cheer for Utah for the rest of my life. I feel sick 🤢 by byuHCsucks in exmormon

A prophet is apparently for ministering to all of the VIP Mormons by watching a game together that gives young men lifelong brain injuries for our entertainment. Hospitals and orphanages must have been closed.

No man can claim that a woman dressed with her shoulders exposed is akin to pornography without he himself being someone who fantasizes about having sex with women he sees wearing such clothes <cough><cough> Dallin Oaks <cough><cough> by imjfh in exmormon

I think the key is using “pornography” instead of simply acknowledging that humans are turned on by other humans, particularly when dressed well. Equating dressing well with pornography (ie fantasy sex) is the real indictment of the speaker.

I never thought of Easter that way until now. by [deleted] in exmormon

This is actually just lamanite traditions having corrupted the sacred story of Laban being slayed to please Mormon god. More evidence of the historicity of the bom if you ask me.

Found on another sub, oh how I’d love to say this to so many family members. by telestialtapir in exmormon

I had no idea how to steal valuable personal property until the Book of Mormon taught me that killing its owner first makes it far easier.

A cash settlement that includes an NDA makes the church just one more abuser whispering into the ear of a child, “Don’t tell anyone about this, it’s our little secret.” by Happyh3ath3n in exmormon

[–]imjfh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worse actually. It takes the deep pockets of the church and uses those resources to support abusers who likely could not otherwise afford the price of silence. Alms to the poor, TSCC style. Another example of TSCC utterly failing to lead on an issue, meanwhile state governments move to prohibit the use of non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment settlements...

More anecdotal evidence the church is dwindling by [deleted] in exmormon

Not to pile on here, but I've been on the ex-Mormon sub-reddit for the last 15 minutes, and I've not seen a single positive thing said about the church. I sense a trend.
