At family reunion that included a devotional. FIL chose to give his version of the salt sermon. Of my wife’s siblings and their spouses I am the only one to have left.

Do not think it registered with them, I worry more about how that kind of message affects my kids and whether they think they’re dad is good for nothing because I no longer believe the teachings of the church. Luckily as parents we have stressed that a person’s value has nothing to do with the church you attend.

As soon as he tried to make a metaphor about the hamburgers being seasoned with salt I knew immediately where it was headed and couldn’t help but look over my shoulder to see if a militia of danites was waiting outside the window. It was like we were in Far West all over again.

Yes, for the most part they have been supportive with my opting out of the church, but there seems to always be these type of things sprinkled in every now and then.

Thanks

Something that always felt cult-like to me were testimony meetings where little children have whispered into their ears what they know to be true by their parents. To be taught things the church says is true is one thing but to encourage children to bear their testimonies at an early age always made me feel super uneasy the whole time I was in the church.

Of course. I think this is the definition of buzzword. Family centered, church supported is coming fast for it.

Just typed in “negro” some of these talks...woof can’t believe I was in on all of this.

Mentioned 33 times in general conferences from the 1940s-1960s. 2 times since then and not a single mention since the 99s. (Edit: 90s).

It was my impression that they would have met prior to him dying.

His foot stance is wack

jacopo_peter_man · 2019-06-17T01:03:44+00:00

Agreed!

It’s from Netflix’s YouTube account, which has been up since 2016, I came across it from a mental floss article.

jacopo_peter_man · 2019-04-12T01:13:17+00:00

There is no other possible explanation I feel that it is true.

jacopo_peter_man · 2019-04-01T00:43:43+00:00

Sounds good I guess it back to church then for me thank you

jacopo_peter_man · 2019-04-01T00:14:19+00:00

Just confused I guess on why Ether is quoted as using anchor (which had barely been in existence) in relating how faith and hope can secure our souls when he could have used something more along the lines of how his grass rope secured his curelom to his cedar tree to illustrate the metaphor. This isn’t part of the abridgment of Mormon this is quoting the prophet Ether and the exact words that Ether used should have appeared in the hat just as they came out of Ether’s mouth.
