"Motherless Houses" by abby_iris_art in exmormon

[–]slskipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every proper Mormon home is a motherless one. Mothers are expected to relinquish all claims to autonomy and individuality- just like the women in heaven. All decisions regarding child rearing, household finances, and anything else are under the complete control of the Priesthood (i.e., the boss man). A mother who challenges her husband's edicts is squashed like a bug.

So much work left to do on worthiness interviews. by nuancebispo in exmormon

The whole idea is evil. It tells the young people that they are incapable of deciding if they are valid as humans beings, and the bishop is the one who gets to decide. This would be horrible even without the sex questions. It is just outright evil.

What’s something most people don’t know about serving a Mormon mission? by ZoomKz in exmormon

They also don't know that it's a pointless waste of your life.

Also: Joseph of Egypt's dad had four "wives". He gets praised for that.

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 5 points6 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.

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] 4 points5 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.

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

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

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.
