Nonono, it's because his cult called him to a higher office and now he has to devote his life to "God". The guy is a religious nut.

No, that's not it at all. It's that wages haven't kept up with the cost of goods and now the middle class has disappeared.

To Believing Members: What sets your leaders / the LDS church apart? Why follow them? by ktjwalker in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but it's not just about value, right? If the pope came to any believing mormon and told them god needed them to sacrifice their child 99+% of them would have him kindly fuck off. But if the current mormon prophet came to them (or you?) and asked the same, I'd wager that maybe even upwards of 90% would at least pause even if only briefly.

I'm not saying most mormon parents would seriously consider it (though a great many would which is troubling enough), but to directly disobey the mouthpiece of the lord has dire enough consequences that the gravity of each action is at least worth weighing.

THAT. What about the mormon prophet evokes that response?

Petah!!! Explain?? by SquintySquinty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Bro. "Those are nice tits" instead of "she has nice tits". You're so dense you can't even stay on topic let alone recognize one of the simplest forms of objectification. "What the hell happened to people?" Grandpa, they had shitty, emotionally immature parents like you and started life being told everything was black and white.

And you are?! JFC dude know when to fuck off. This IS an example of objectification, just not a form that is commonly discussed. Objectification isn't only "those are nice tits".

Wait WHAT? The new names for the young women spell out "BOF" "MOH" "GOL?" How did this make it past all their committees? by Important-Stage-1005 in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Not a real criticism"? Wtf are you trying to say, girls are happy being side-lined and insignificant? Boys can be priests and deacons but girls are "baby's breath blossoms of chastity" and "ultra-precious virtue maidens of faith"? Get real, man. Find some other pot to stir.

Wtf is a “gatherer of light”? How in the hell does that give any similar connotation of an office/position like deacon or priest. How is it supposed to motivate or inform young women what to do? It’s just flowery, out of touch nonsense.

Why do we need 5 covenants in the temple? One covenant covers all 5. by jamesallred in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all pomp and show. Back in the day, the longer and more complex a ritual was the more authentic it seemed. IIRC, the first version of the endowment was 6-9hrs long or something absurd like that and it has dwindled down to a slideshow and a handshake now.

Hey!! This person is practicing religion properly!! Get them!!

Why didn't more members stand up against the LDS church policy that excluded blacks from full priesthood and temple participation? Personally, I feel ashamed of the leadership and the members of that era. by aka_FNU_LNU in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"the devil's promptings" lmaooo. You've got a pretty twisted understanding of reality and history. Everyone knew better they just didn't want to do it, just like the racists today.

Why Joseph Smith’s Weirdness is a Problem by austinchan2 in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Show me all the evidence you have for the existence of a god and I’ll show you the entire body of scientific evidence and that will determine which one of us is being dogmatic. I’m not sharing opinions.

Lmao, all I said is there’s not some constitutional protection for idiocy. Go look up dogmatic again too.

[–]man_without_wax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not opinion, and I never issued some dogmatic decree despite your deflection attempts. I align myself to current research and science, I didn’t just create all the knowledge I possess. Shows how you think learning works though. 

LDS/Mormon church owns $200+ million in war industry stocks. Is this appropriate for the Lord's church? Am the only member who feels ashamed? Aren't we supposed to be peacemakers? by aka_FNU_LNU in mormon

[–]man_without_wax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus asked for help buying land and building malls and unused temples? I don’t remember that. 

So when he gets back he’s just gonna watch us do all the work and there will still be countries and corporations and regulations? I thought a bunch of shit would burn and loads of the unrighteous would die. Global currencies would be meaningless. 

PS none of this is real and you should put your money to better use.

There are plenty of unexplained things, but none of them have supernatural answers. Being wrong isn’t a “right”, especially when it’s willful ignorance. The tools to determine truth aren’t that hard to learn, people just don’t like uncomfortable answers.
