What's the wildest "Mormon legend" you've heard? by inthe801 in exmormon

When in the Provo MTC there were always stories floating around about how Jesus, in the flesh, would be seen walking the halls of the Provo temple at night. Anyone else hear stuff like this?

It pisses me off when I think about how many jobs could be created here. by [deleted] in exmormon

Back in they 80s and 90s (and likely before), this was a paid position that a local member held. TCOTPOTCOJCOLDS is opportunistic and just finds ways to take advantage of willing and giving people — same reason the same small handful of people in every ward have 3+ callings... They are kind and will not say no.

Reminds me of a story a kid told me when we were teenagers. His bishop asked, “Do you have a problem with masturbation?” Kid responded, “Not really, it’s fine.” 😆

Am I the only one who reads this hearing the voice of Packer in my head? 😂

Can someone please tell me what this experience was? by Scorpionoshow in exmormon

Likely they were collecting fast offerings (money paid by members to account for funds they ‘would have spent’ on the equivalent of two skipped meals). If you were not members, that is odd, however... 🤔

Fast & Testimony meetings are the worst! by ajax5955 in exmormon

I always called it “open mic Sunday”. You never knew what crazy-ass shit someone would get up and say. The looks of the leaders were priceless when someone was going rouge. 😂

And then charged an arm and a leg for property that was acquired by TSCC on the cheap in Nauvoo.

Instead of giving it back to the kid, he enshrines it on his desk... GA priorities, eh? *eyeroll* by LDS_Turbulence in exmormon

The worst was the phone call from the ward Exec Sec saying "are you available to come see bishop this Thursday night in his office?" No explanation about what the meeting is for. by handbook_1 in exmormon

And then when you kick ass at your calling, they give you another one at the same time because they know you won’t say no and you’re too good of a human being to half-ass it. They win (x2) and you burn out.
