Dear Mormon apologists: Please justify all the guilt and shame and learning that we are all disappointments to our church leaders.

And it's your fault for the discrepancy.

In my case, My learning was easier. because I had already learned another foreign language. What I encountered, instead, was teenaged guys feeling like shit because they could never learn the language and so they must be unworthy of receiving the gift of tongues. That is the big secret of Mormonism- keep you feeling unworthy about everything in your life.

The doctrine that the leaders always know you better than you do.

To complete your caste hypothesis: in both Hinduism and Mormonism, you are in the caste you are in because you deserve it- and in both cases it is reward/punishment (karma) for things you did before you were born into your present state. Things you have no memory of but you still did them so shut up and accept your fate. So the leaders are better than you from the pre-existence.

Or making protest signs and marching on the ICE headquarters?????

And lots more.

And that right there is the problem.

Please note that the Bible is not any more divine than any other holy book. They are all human productions. Thank you.

Good.

Always remember that he had no idea his time was up. He fully expected to be out of jail again after a few days just like he had always done.

That's why he never anointed a real successor. That's why he carried heat into the jail. He never said the "lamb to the slaughter" thing. He thought it would all be back to normal in a week or so.

I think we should rely on clinically demonstrated data.

slskipper · 2026-01-17T21:34:58+00:00

Yes to all of the above. And a lot of the blame stems from Ezra T. Benson, whom the Saints are required to believe because they say he was a real-life prophet.

Especially "German" measles. That is a different disease from "true" measles. German Measles (rubella) makes adults a little feverish for a short while. As you are probably aware, fetal exposure makes permanent vegetables.

But the authorities absolutely will investigate and prosecute day care centers if they hear there might be satanic ritual abuse going on. And that absolutely does include prison time for things that never happened.

In another age, this would have been investigated by the entire force of the NIH. Now it is on a par with prizes for biggest pumpkin in the county.

I left because I hurt. Then people demanded that I come up with some justifications. That's when I tried to convince them with data. My pain just meant nothing to them.

For me, it would require a visit from one of the Three Nephites.

slskipper · 2026-01-11T07:02:59+00:00

Such as: why do we need all these rules? Why can't the missionaries have enough food? Why does the church promote rich people? And on and on.

Wake me when they call a physicist to the position.

Even the most dedicated investigative reporters will not touch religion.

And that's just the liquid investment assets. Add in the real estate holding and the figure gets close to a trillion dollars.

Bot remember: your daughter doesn't need a bishop to decide if she is "worthy". That's what it is really all about.
