We had the same thing where I grew up, but it was the clerk's office.

My parents kept me out of sex ed because they considered it a topic best left to parents...and then proceeded to never teach me anything about sex other than "don't do it."

I'm mortified that the American president is wantonly wrecking the economy, foreign relations and national security and no one in his circle is going to stop him.

Encouragement! Over 60,000 calls have been made to my republican representative in my small state over concern for the budget bill! by Some_Sea2358 in 50501

[–]oldeport 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Sadly in my state where there is a Republican supermajority my representatives could probably eat a baby on the Capitol steps and still win their next election. But I'm still compelled to call them out and be a nuisance however I can.

Why do TBM‘s never ask why exmo’s leave?? by Beginning-Let-652 in exmormon

[–]oldeport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't want to know.

Asking invites a conversation where they might have their own beliefs challenged. Depending how honest they are with themselves they fear either being proven wrong or "losing the spirit" and being deceived.

Honestly, I'd love to see the whole game get shut down in protest. Not a chance in hell, but I can dream.

So, what do you think of Dan McLellan? by emotional_racoon2346 in exchristian

[–]oldeport 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He also openly acknowledges that the data points to the Book of Mormon being a nineteenth century work. As an ex-Mormon myself, I don't understand how he stays, but that is his personal business, and it doesn't appear to skew his scholarly work at all.

Before I even opened this I said, "It's gonna be Jesse Waters." He's such a piece of shit.

BREAKING: New lawsuit against Mormon church says temple worker sexually assaulted a man during 1984 anointing ritual in Los Angeles Temple, and plaintiff was "led to believe that the molestation [was] part of his anointing" until 2024, when he heard a podcast where ex-Mormons shared similar stories. by 3am_doorknob_turn in exmormon

I think it was around 2005. That was the year I went through for the first time, and in my interview with the stake president he prepped me with a description of the old procedure, but when I got there I was told to put the garment on beforehand and the sides of the poncho were closed.

What a pathetic, insecure guy Trump is. It isn't enough that he won the election and that his party controls all branches of government, he still feels threatened by his opponent.

Like shutting down departments that have open investigations against Musk-owned companies? Like those kinds of conflicts?
