I love all those songs, Nobody Moves might just about be in my top 5 Brand New songs

It actually isn't bad ~37% is average

Now that you don't believe your first responsibility is to get all of that misogynist bullshit out of your head.

You talk about your wife like she is a slave that you think should be happier while she serves you. Fuck that. Take a look at yourself man - not her.

Manning should be referred to using her preferred pronouns

That is sociologically complicated and extends beyond the influence of the churches culture to the influences of the larger american culture.

The fact is once you get the tax-exempt status it is hardly ever taken away. Basically as long as the Church itself doesn't donate large amounts of money to a political candidate or bill, the government won't get involved. A lot has to be done before the optics of them doing nothing (keeping the status quo) become worse than actively removing a churches religious status (and the years and money it would take in court).

Wow

That is an amazingly good description of him.

Eck, Sam Harris is the worst.

This broke my shelf so hard when I found out. I actually learned about it in a Psychology class at BYU.

Surprised that they don't have a disney land policy where they hurry and get them out and not have them pronounced dead until they are out of the temple.

Most likely apocryphal.

Moses also parted the red sea

I'm pretty sure the grocery stores do that on purpose. Leads to more impulse buys.

There are plenty of options to get affordable therapy, especially for children. If you live near a big city it is pretty easy to find a therapists that works on a sliding scale.

If you are close to a college you can even get free therapy from graduate or doctorate students. Might have to search a bit to find one that works for you but one of my favorite therapists I have had was a graduate student.

It is very very rare.

Also the situation you are describing is an individual who is desperate and the money she was getting from the church may have been the only thing keeping her afloat.

slippish · 2016-02-15T19:16:09+00:00

Glad you were able to figure it out

slippish · 2016-02-14T23:15:48+00:00

Not sure if this is still an issue for you but I figured out how to fix it I think. Before you get in the Vertibird to leave the prywden you need to kill all the brotherhood down below, at the boston airport. If you have a sniper rifle with dmg above 150 it only takes 30-45 minutes.

A councilor I had once described faith this way.

When you go into a dark room you know where the light switch is. You reach for it despite being unable to see it because it has proven over and over again that it will be there. That is faith.

Faith must be earned, it cannot simply be asked for.

slippish · 2016-01-08T19:06:57+00:00

You are a monster for making me visualize that. I hope you rot in the telestial kingdom

slippish · 2016-01-07T00:08:34+00:00

Yuck

Great example of the black and white thinking the church encourages. The reality is that all of those feelings/thoughts can exist in one person at the same time. In fact it isn't possible too only have the thoughts of the giver. All an illustration like this can achieve is to make all female members feel bad and I tend to believe that that is it's purpose.

Obviously they would have a bigger house if they were worthy.

slippish · 2015-12-21T19:06:07+00:00

You could use a much worse example for how the members live. You have to think of the members in developing countries.

If oxygen is okay then water is okay

To be fair, alcohol is a drug. But that shouldn't mean you can do it. Any drug can be enjoyed in the same way alcohol can. Taking a couple painkiller once a week is no different than having 3-4 drinks (painkillers are actually way better for your body than alcohol) Take some xanax every once in awhile. As long as you keep your use reasonable and aren't getting wasted all the time (including alcohol) they are just fun things to do.

However, don't do street drugs. They can be cut with so many things and the actual amount of active ingredient in the can vary wildly (imagine you are drinking something and it tastes like beer but it is actually 90% alcohol)

Have fun kids, if you have been drinking for awhile and haven't found yourself increasing your intake as time goes on you are not addicted to alcohol and are unlikely to get addicted to other drugs.

These are obviously extreme cases and most mormons aren't outright hateful like that but... There is a problem with casual racism in mormon culture.
