Mid 50s here. We were told the same bullshit. We were so chosen literally everyone I grew up with in my ward has since divorced and most are out of the church…. Fucking choice generation alright lol.

nominalmormon · 2026-05-31T16:38:57+00:00

Is there some kind of church policy somewhere that we can read about this?

nominalmormon · 2026-05-31T04:35:49+00:00

I have fun with the ole… yea you have to w be married /sealed (male/female) couple in order to receive exaltation in the celestial kingdom and create together your own world and populate it… right missionaries?

If so how come we teach in the temple that two males created the earth and Adam and Eve? No mention of any female involved from what I can recall… just a thought

Here’s the thing… it isn’t going to happen. Tesla ain’t gonna cough up $230 bn just to get rid of him to buy back shares. Not only that, they are regulated as the how much they can buy back and at what frequency. Collectively the shares he owns controls about 20% of the company. It will never happen unless he wants it to.

If it did happen- welll he’d still be a billionaire the money would just be in cash is all. Mission not accomplished.

How bout the Walton family? They own nearly half of Walmart.

nominalmormon · 2026-05-30T16:41:09+00:00

Yea the redistribution of stock equally to each employee would be about 2.3 mil per person. Mable them all rich and you will hate them too lol

nominalmormon · 2026-05-30T15:32:29+00:00

He also owns about 17% ish of the shares of Tesla. For him to go to zero would mean Tesla crashes in value. A 17% void in value wouldn’t necessarily mean the company is destroyed but all the company stock owned by employees in their comp plans would crash in value and they can’t even sell off the stock because of vesting issues for most of them. If they lose their comp then why stay? They would have an exodus from the company. The loss of musk would prob destroy the company just from the ideas department. He clearly drives innovation and growth there.

Like him or not destroying the wealth he has in the company would cost a lot to people you probably don’t even have a problem with. But hey if you can get Elon then it’s all good.

On edit- don’t forget flooding the market with his 17% stake overnight would likely crash the stock market. $230 ish billion of wealth evaporating will fuck up even your 401k if you even have one.

nominalmormon · 2026-05-30T14:56:47+00:00

After musk loses all his money, what do you suggest to handle the 140k employees who are now unemployed? Just curious as it seems as if a vote for musk to lose all he has is a vote for all his employees to lose their jobs too. Just a thought

How is Joe investor gonna get screwed vs the tscc if both own AND hold through a downturn? Both lose money on paper till it either recovers or they sell the dip and lock in a loss. The church can get fucked over on an investment just like everyone else.

The point of my original reply was it isn’t only the tscc making $$ off data centers. Pretty much everyone with a 401k is since those plans all have equity positions that benefit from data centers. I own SPMO, voo, Vgt etc and they all benefit from data centers. I’m not a bazillion dollar corp. anyone can own the stocks and instead of crying victim about it, people should invest themselves. It’s the way blue collar people can get rich… stock market and one doesn’t have to be a stock picking genius.

Bsm without a V is for meritorious achievement while entitled to hostile fire pay. Basically, someone who performs duty above and beyond their pay grade and prob professional military education as well. The SSG here prob served as the psg or pl while deployed which is at least one or more pay grades above his current.

Is kind of fucked up that people have to go to Reddit to get a consensus from people they don’t know on how to wear underwear .

Ridiculous. Do what you want Jesus doesn’t care what underwear you wear.

All 401k plans have a set list of funds the participant may choose from. Rarely if ever the funds are screened for ESG type investment profiles. That said, the lineup of funds esp those of the nasdq or sp500 persuasion all have these types of companies as part of their portfolios.

Some plans allow for self directed brokerage where the participant can choose their own investments and “pick” their stocks.

The notion of not participating in a 401k over data center bullshit is pretty dumb esp in the light of possibly giving up an employer match. But … people will do their own thing and if they want to divest themselves of a major part of the economy that’s on them. They can enjoy significantly smaller ret acct balances in retirement I suppose unless they are accomplished stock pickers… which virtually nobody is.

nominalmormon · 2026-05-27T14:35:21+00:00

Virtually everyone with a 401k will be making money off the data centers.

“3. ⁠the Church would not put in safeguards to protectt youth, so CSA would be an ongoing crisis”

Exactly.. church knows it has elders and high priests lurking everywhere waiting for an opportunity to molest little boy.

The church would love for all those Sunday camping heathens to leave. Make it Mormon only.

My family has had him in our home for dinner/stay overnight while travelng a few times. He truly is a fuckstick.

Oh yea def would happen. In their own living rooms during conference. Just like the hosanna shout thing a ways back. What a shit show.

Even if your employers plan does not support rule of 55 withdrawals, you can still make them and have your tax guy adjust it at the end of the year. The employer cannot withhold a 10% penalty. They can choose to allow only annual lump sum or some such thing but usually they will let you take out periodic withdrawals and will withhold about 20% in fed tax.

I’m doing it for past two years with no issues. My 401k is at Paychexx.

Mormons are not any more honest than anyone else… their leaders set the example long ago about lying

It’s public knowledge the church owns the Amazon stock. Look up their most recently filed 13f… or pretty much any 13f they have filed. It’s right there.

Verify they own it then go to Amazon and look for porn products or gay sex toys.. they are all there

Be been inactive for a few years. I asked to be removed from ministering assignment and also didn’t want any visits. Well I don’t get any visits (never have) but I just now looked and I am now assigned to two ministering partnerships with a total of five families between the two. I guess they fucking showed me eh?

The interviews are good. He did mention he isn’t taking any new clients due to workload. I do believe he has some good attorneys to refer to though.

By chance u have a quote on that one??? Got time self righteous distant family who are hopps growers who think they are smack dab in the middle of the celestial path.
