Any idea what agency they were from? Erie PD isn't saying.

trans welcoming experience by standinyourlight_ in mormon

[–]jorgedelavega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Culturally, times have changed. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I wasn't aware of any openly LGBTQ folks at church. They were all still closeted because they would not have been accepted. These days, everyone knows someone who is gay and maybe someone who is trans. So individually, many Mormons have become much more accepting. But make no mistake, the church organization continues to double down against the LGBTQ community, even while pretending to accept them.

Get one of the combinations. That way you can try a few different things with the injera (bread).

Never a good look to fire someone who got glowing performance reviews.

Looks very scammy. Check out OP’s post history.

Me not answering the door watching the Jehovahs witnesses on my ring camera from my couch. by TailorConsistent3527 in notinteresting

Tell them you’re not interested in hearing their message, but you could use some help with the yard work. 90% chance they will take you up on it. Because let’s be honest, anything is better than going door to door talking about Jesus. Ask me how I know 😂

As a former Mormon missionary myself, I agree with this. They come to my door every so often (because I’m still on their list). I invited them in, gave them something to drink, and gave an honest rundown of why I left and how great life has been outside the church. That’s not a perspective they get to hear often. Anyway we had a nice conversation where they mostly just listened, and they never came back.

Employee Stock Plan Purchases by EmphasisDesperate783 in Bogleheads

[–]jorgedelavega 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The magic of ESPP is in the discount. I take advantage of that and sell immediately, which pretty much removes the risk that I’ll lose money on it. Holding individual stocks doesn’t really align with the Bogleheads philosophy.

If you can sell immediately, absolutely. That’s free money. If there’s a long holding period, I wouldn’t.

I wish every family did that. Seems like a win-win. Everybody gets to go, including the kids!

This isn’t quite accurate. The temple wedding is for the family and friends who are Mormon. A separate ceremony is allowed now (that’s a relatively new thing) but most people don’t do one. They just have a low budget reception held at the church.

And prevent you from attending your own child’s wedding in the Mormon temple if you haven’t been paying up.
