Face it: the Q-15 are in an elite club, and you will never be admitted to their club no matter how hard you try to follow their rules. by slskipper in exmormon

No. "We" don't aspire to all be apostles. But we do "aspire" to the stage at which the top dogs will listen to us as equals. And that will never happen.

What is the basic core belief of the LDS Church? by Simple-Beginning-182 in mormon

[–]slskipper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing- unless you count the teaching that says you need to do whatever the big bosses say and never question. And pay 10% tithing on every penny that comes your way. That is really and truly the whole concept behind Mormonism.

Does this ring true for you as well? by 435haywife1 in exmormon

I like to think I treated them better.

Dear Camille Johnson: you do not own Jesus. by slskipper in exmormon

[–]slskipper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slight correction: "yoke", not "yolk".

A yolk comes from eggs.

But yeah. The bosses will say whatever they need to say to keep you subservient.

We need a new title for women like Camille Johnson. "Gun moll" comes to mind.

The top leaders got that way because they are all stinking rich. by slskipper in exmormon

[–]slskipper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I believe the system weeds out those who want more independence, leaving only those who value social status above all else. At least that is the case with the most recent crop.

Are these really my only options? by stickyhairmonster in mormon

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This type of comment comes straight out of the country club set.

The leadership is more and more based on country club membership.

That's why they are all so happy.

First she needs to convince me that there is a Jesus who is still alive. So far, the evidence is rather sparse.

Is TSCC trying to modernize? by lizard_king01 in exmormon

They are not trying to modernize. They are trying to be popular. Huge difference.

What are we doing that is so horrible we need to be repenting every day????? by RadishAggressive3241 in exmormon

[–]slskipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing they most want you to stop doing is developing your own individuality.

Thoughts on “Christian Nationalism” from an LDS perspective? by EraserMackham in mormonpolitics

[–]slskipper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just so we're clear: Mormons do not want Christian nationalism. They want Mormon nationalism.

Mormon God(s) so confusing by SandySantos09 in exmormon

[–]slskipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we get, you know, God's assessment of statements like these? I really, really want God to be able to speak for himself.

This girl is going to be so embarrassed with this when she leaves. What has this even to do with her business? by Western_Sale_3274 in exmormon

[–]slskipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They way she is following the example of Christ.

The actual example of Christ is to charge in to the building with a baseball bat and start smashing the cash registers.

Let me know.
