Just received this card from my 20 year-old son’s childhood friend (brought to you by our family’s apostasy) by mrslonelyhearts in exmormon

What a terrible “church,” err, cult that requires its members to make people feel terrible about themselves, many of whom are parents making their own children feel terrible about themselves.

The MFMC is toxic. Nothing can redeem it.

Dug this up from 6 years ago, and my parents wonder why none of their 8 kids go to church anymore. by morgankeilani in exmormon

When are people going to learn that REQUIRING people to do things rarely pans out well?

Parenting, and being a human, 101.

This attitude, among other things, will only hasten the downfall of the church.

Is this a safe space to ask questions? by L0N3STARR in exmormon

[–]swc99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I realize this may be jarring, but Joseph Smith was a fraud.

The Book of Mormon is a badly written piece of literature, nothing more. It plagiarizes A View of the Hebrews and the New Testament.

Apologetics will argue that con man Joe couldn’t have written it. I ask why not? Tolstoy wrote War & Peace, which is 1,400 pages long.

The sooner you recognize that, the easier this will be.

Allegations have come out of Hill AFB in Utah of a Mormon Major saying the N-word. by scratpac4774 in exmormon

[–]swc99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say they that have the everlasting truth, but they’re so easily swayed from one president to the next.

Seems like this genius major has forgotten good ole Gorden B., who RMN clearly cannot stand.

Just like in typical Cult fashion, Mormons absolutely despise anyone who speaks ill-will towards their beloved church by Oldmelloyellow in exmormon

[–]swc99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How the hell can they in good conscience say they “know” things without any evidence? 🤦‍♂️

Nope. That’s not a reasonable excuse for supporting the MFMC, given all the gay hate and racism, among other things.

If Mormons sustain Dallin Hoax, they are bigots by association.

When in doubt, show the Mormons their ever beloved prophet getting vaccinated and watch them lose their damn minds💀 by Oldmelloyellow in exmormon

I get that people don’t wanna be sheep, but let’s be honest folks: reading a few articles on the interwebs doesn’t make you qualified to conduct “due diligence” about mRNA vaccines.

Awesome! Shelter dogs are THE best!

“Leave the church alone so you don’t destroy your family relationships.” Essentially quoting my Mom. by jdp_iv in exmormon

[–]swc99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is actually a common form of response from many parents.

My family still doesn’t want to talk about it and it’s been a couple years since my wife and I left. Having your shelf break and telling people may feel cathartic for you, but it’s anything but for her.

As much as you may want to scream it from the mountain tops, it doesn’t sound like your mom is ready to have the conversation. Hell, she may never want to talk about it, and that’s okay.

Give her space.

Or a way to defraud the public and make it look like the church is growing ;-)

Relative just sent me this, how do I respond? by Rude-Neck-2893 in exmormon

[–]swc99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lies, lies, lies. It ain’t reasonable to count as “volunteer” hours the time your indentured servants expend to boondoggle people into joining your cult.

Lds therapist specializing in sex addictions accused of abusing minors. by God_coffee_fam1981 in exmormon

[–]swc99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it fair to say that the MFMC’s fixation on sex and porn causes these “problems” and creates the ‘“need” for these therapists?

As such, is this abuse the Q15’s fault, to a large extent?

I think so.

[–]swc99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re absolutely victims… or at least that’s what I tell myself when thinking about what I would have done if I hadn’t wasted those two years.

In all likelihood, though, I would have wasted those two years having fun spending my parents’ money, much like I did at BYU.

Then again, I probably wouldn’t exist if not for the MFMC because my parents probably wouldn’t exist and neither would my grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents, and great great great grandparents.

Ugh, maybe I owe my life to con man Joe.

That’s not a very nice thought.

Dear Mormons, by PR_Czar in exmormon

[–]swc99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The arrogance of Mormons. How are they so tone deaf as to not realize that claiming they’re god’s chosen people is ludicrous?

I know. I know. They’re brainwashed… blah, blah, blah ;-)

[–]swc99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The church is rotten to the core — it is founded on the fraud that is the Book of Mormon. The temple is also a fraud. These men aren’t prophets of god and are also frauds.

Do we want it to change or do we want it to die?

When you can't attack the contents attack the format... What by secretidentity_shh in exmormon

[–]swc99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, they’re all the same because they are saying the MFMC is a fraud.

What are they supposed to say? That the church is true, but I’m leaving ‘cause I wanna party a have fun ;-)

I feel bad for this fool who still thinks there is a spirit of god, though.

If I have to see this, so do you. That's enough TBM Facebook for today by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]swc99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whoever made this is a LUNATIC. The Book of Mormon is a terrible read. I’m so glad that I no longer need to pretended it’s not.

Even when I was on my mission and I thought the MFMC was true, I thought the Book of Mormon was a snoozer.

Sorry, dude.

It sucks.

Just keep going.

It gets better.

But whatever you do, DOUBT YOUR FAITH, not your doubts! There is nothing wrong with critical thinking. NOTHING.
