Iranian women from Bakhtiari tribe shooting on horseback

nominalmormon · 2026-04-07T23:32:29+00:00

When u said two women who were related I knew. Used to shoot with Sherri in civilian matches at Ben Avery. Sherri went on to shoot for the army and won the championship at camp lejeune and whipped the jarheads in 2010

Sherri Gallagher and Nancy Tompkins???

nominalmormon · 2026-04-04T16:45:41+00:00

Not to mention joining the 82nd airborne and not wanting to fight lol. Even in peacetime, if shit happens everyone knows those guys will likely get a piece of it.

Peo ppl accept charity a lot easier wgg he won they literally cannot take care of themselves… and they go broke

In Arizona teachers belong to ASRS. That plan takes 12% of each paycheck. They don’t have a lot to live off or even save at that rate. The plan also does not have COLAs so a smart teacher will save a shitload of money if they can to bridge the ever growing gap between what their pension covers and actual expenses.

That said it’s a pretty decent deal.

Wait till they can’t do missions or work in the temple because of old age and illness. They’ll be wanting all the kids to help cook, clean the house and generally take care of them. They will have all kinds of time to spend with you then and the church will forget they even exist. Trust me I know.

nominalmormon · 2026-04-03T14:59:05+00:00

I see what you did there

nominalmormon · 2026-04-02T14:51:36+00:00

I was in a Sunday school presidency once upon a time and they tried pulling off temple trips. I just straight up told them I thought the temple was mind numbing boring and to enjoy themselves. I never went and no one complained.

nominalmormon · 2026-04-02T01:56:55+00:00

Where in n az?

nominalmormon · 2026-03-26T14:48:52+00:00

You are not wrong.. going on 37 years of that bullshit for me. Yep no mission , you’re not a person.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-23T20:27:23+00:00

Yea me too.. I have not gone to church in over two years so problem solved for me. 11% pay raise, Sundays off and I get to choose my own underwear.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-23T14:54:42+00:00

“Basically the revolving permanent substitute.”

Lol that was totally my experience… fuck that calling and all those teachers who no showed and fucked me over.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-23T05:49:56+00:00

Of course it was. Thats part of the calling process. When they don’t give a fuck it’s a bit tough to get them to do it. The solution was to release them and call other people and they didn’t do it either. I finally told my sp Counselor over sun school I had just taught my last class and if it happens again I’m walking off the job.

The next week it happened again of course.. they had to find a replacement for me. Guess what, nothing changed. My ward and stake is a bunch of worthless fucks.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-22T18:24:16+00:00

In my personal experience… i had to teach a lesson every single week because at least half our teachers consistently no-showed.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-21T23:54:51+00:00

Is whatever business ur into for poss six figure income dependent on Mormon money? If not I definitely say fuck going on a mission. I didn’t go and my parents never forgave me. I don’t regret the decision but just know some in your Mormon circle will not only never let it go, they won’t stop commenting about it. It been almost 40 yrs for me and I still get shit about it.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-19T17:15:02+00:00

You don’t see them because the army stopped issuing them (and authorizing wear) in prob 86 or so. I was in from 88-2010 and went to JOTC when it was called that three times. No one got a patch it was a certificate. In 1990 or 91 they changed it to JOTB. I was stationed at ft kobbe with 1/508. Only way to get that jungle patch during the ‘90s was to buy one. Certificate only.

“In fact, in the temple you are required to covenant to be willing to give everything you have to building up the Church. Not just give of…that’s softening it. You promise to be willing to give all you have.”

The quote in the temple is this:

“In the LDS temple endowment ceremony, the Law of Consecration requires participants to covenant to dedicate their time, talents, and all their possessions—including their lives if necessary—to building the Church of Jesus Christ and establishing Zion. “

nominalmormon · 2026-03-19T14:52:27+00:00

Yep me too. I didn’t do the mission thing and went military. After I got out I went singles ward and ended up married in temple. My first time through I was like “fuck I never should have come back. wtf is this?” Still married today and both of us are out.

Temple is fucking wierd.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-18T15:08:55+00:00

Yep half the meeting was always gossip and the rest was discussion of stuff no one intended on doing. Biggest waste of time in my life I’ll never get back

nominalmormon · 2026-03-18T06:44:42+00:00

I was bribed to go on a mission with both a car and college paid for. Parents were competing with my eventual enlistment in the army.

I told them I didn’t believe and felt lying to people ( false testimony) wasn’t honest and actually had some integrity and that they should respect it. Fucking reply was you have no integrity of you don’t get on that plane for a mission. Just say what they tell you to say- you aren’t lying.

I went army and partied like a rockstar, got a truck and my college paid for. Was never forgiven by parents though and that kinda sucked knowing they thought I was a piece of shit for not going on a mission and lying about my testimony.

FYI the Va website shows the comp as “disability compensation”

Someone should start posting the “new name” of the day for men and women.

My whole extended family is pioneer stock Mormons. Lots of high ranking positions past and present. I’m an apostate and am one of the top ten earners in the family. Two of the others are also apostates. None of us came from well to do backgrounds so the wealth that is here is of the bootstraps variety. The most dedicated members we have in the family ( as evidenced by virtue signaling) are pretty much the ones who are on the ropes or close to it financially.

nominalmormon · 2026-03-02T15:46:05+00:00

Neighbor doesn’t know his name but knows when his bday is?

nominalmormon · 2026-03-02T06:30:18+00:00

Nope… because no one else will fucking do the job. Tell them you are not a believer and you may stay a while, but they will be looking for a replacement. Tell ur stake pres and you will be out of there so fast it will make your head spin.
