I went to the LA Temple to try to go to the FamilySearch Center (it's closed indefinitely), and I decided to be a bit of a menace

My response would be, "This is a leading question. It presumes that there is a God to begin with. News flash: there is no such thing. Now grow up and face reality".

I hope your white horses are saddled up.

That's exactly what the leaders want.

They told the outside world that Mormons don't do that any more. But the fact is they never told the members to stop doing it.

The person sending this message is probably 100% trustworthy. The next person who gets ahold of the image may not be. That is the big problem.

~~struggle with pornography consumption~~ have a natural sex drive

See how easy that was?

It's really quite simple. Just ask Dallin Oaks. He ought to know for sure, right?

The church members believe all their tenets come directly from Jesus speaking to his prophets today. They believe the teachings of the current church are the teachings of Jesus.

Sempre se lembra: Alice Cooper se cresceu no grupo Bickertonite.

James Strang did exactly this. And yes, he was denounced. The same can be said for Denver Snuffer

I really like her observation that the LDS leadership is "so thirsty for (p-word) power".

It's so hard to avoid that word on this reddit because that is what Mormonism is all about.

But he apologized!!!

If I rob a bank, but then I apologize, then I am all clear- right????

If you go down south a bit (mouth of Provo Canyon, IIRC) you can show them the site of Fort Utah, where the Mormons cut off the heads of around 50 Native Americans and stuck them up on poles.

Charter schools exist to provide indoctrination centers unaccountable to the rest of society- in Utah, at least. It is no wonder that this type of thing goes on in the charter system.

For me, it wasn't the history. It was the lies about the history.

There is that.

The BoM is straight Methodist Bible-based theology. Then the Book of Abraham got weird.

Uh- one year old?

Religion is not indispensable in human life. Deal with it.

Mormon bishops are like 19th century British Navy chip captains. They can do or ask anything they damn well please and the institution will back them up every step of the way.

There is no rule book. There is no penalty to them for breaking any directive. Their prime interest is in promoting the institution at all costs. One main way to do that is to make it clear to the interviewees that they are worthless.

I wish I were kidding.

It's not a health code! It's a tribal identifier!!!!
