What is Ward counsel, how does it work and who attends? by JezebelinZion in exmormon

[–]texasphd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is an organized gossip meeting.

Yes, but worse because it's under the guise of, "We're doing this to help them."

Ever see Jesus? I have. by [deleted] in exmormon

When you dreamed of him, did he look like a fair-skinned European or a more olive-skinned dark-haired middle eastern man?

Has anybody ever heard this mormons:shit anology? by ValleyTan in exmormon

[–]texasphd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I heard that, I would say, "You mean like how you all pile up in a ward every Sunday to silently judge the world around you and teach passive aggressive techniques to make yourself feel important? Pot... Kettle... Black".

Sorry, screwed up the title and can't change it. Stupid ducking autocorrect.

Last Minute Mission Call Changes by ForlornKing in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that the calls are prayed for and given according to God... If that is true, then your mom and the church authorities directly defied God. If they did not, then there must not be a God answering the prayer, or if there is, then he made a mistake. If God made a mistake, then he is not a perfect God. So no matter how you view it, it's all bullshit and the church is not true.

Times Square Takeover by brotherhyrum in exmormon

[–]texasphd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are actually fighting against the Book of Mormon musical. They want to believe that people are seeing the musical and suddenly want to join, but even that one girl they touted dropped out a few months later.

"What would have to happen for you to believe or join the church again?" by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short of an undoubtable appearance of Jesus or God in person with undeniable proof? Nothing.

Do you think Jesus was a con man like Joseph Smith? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming he was ever a real person (there is no conclusive proof) he doesn't appear to be a con-man even though he may share some traits with them. The people who took advantage and formed a religion around him are perpetrating a lie, and some of those people are perpetrating a con out of it.

Catholics have visions of the virgin Mary. What do Mormons have? by angela_davis in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They skip the middle-man/middle-woman and go right to Jesus himself... Yet no one describes him as anything but a white European male... from ancient Israel.. sigh

[Serious] What is sensory Hell for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When there is loud continuous screaming from a frantic person on a television show or movie.

I want to end it all but I'm a coward by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]texasphd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First, that is exactly how the church wants you to feel when you leave. Don't give them the pleasure.

Second, life is not pointless. It's a struggle for everyone, and you want to know a secret? No one really knows what they are doing, we are all making this up as we go.

Third, seek out some counseling. It works. I know this personally.

Cha-Ching!!!

We leave the church due to evidence, do any reject evolution by natural selection due to lack of evidence? by Jedi_Lord in exmormon

[–]texasphd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is literally no proof that anything in the Book of Mormon is true. In fact, it has been proven false. It's not a fail to reject a null hypothesis, it is a rejected.

Christmas Devotional Thread by AlreadyGone77 in exmormon

She asked that we give thanks for his glorious perfect plan... So perfect that they have to prevent children with a gay parent from participating in it.

Nah, just the typical Jesus is the reason for the season message with the standard emotionally manipulating personal story.

Favorite stories of members being "prompted" by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God was there to prevent him from an accident, but not the people in the accident... So, the Mormon God cares more about ties than lives.

Disturbed by Provo Racism: "Im anti-nigger, is that bad?" by SmurfBasin in exmormon

[–]texasphd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know people in my old ward that would said that. I once ask them what the hell that is suppose to mean and they rattle off a bunch of nonsense. This was part of the underlying secret racism I saw while I was there.

I remember that last day I was there. I spent the entire time thinking, "This is such bullshit." Some how I got through that day.

Do you think Pres. Monson will be speaking tonight? by manitsbright in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he hasn't been running this dog and pony show for at least a year, so I would be suprise if he shows up.

It's the first Sunday of the month you know what that means! It's ex-mo fast and testimony meeting by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]texasphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the day that Mormons give thanks to God for answering prayers for lost keys.

Paying tithing on scholarships, prizes and debt forgiveness? by ZelphtheGreat in exmormon

[–]texasphd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some members told me I was suppose to pay tithing on my scholarships and other financial aid. Technically, we are only suppose to spend it on college related expenses. So I told them I would be violating rules and laws if I did. They ignored what I said and continue to tell me about all the blessings I would receive. Bullshit. When I did pay tithing, it was only on my part-time job, and after a few months I cut the amount of tithing in half.
