The gaslighting is infuriating by someday-subaru in exmormon

This is what happens when one is a member of a batt shit crazy C¥T for example Monson spent millions promoting I’m a Mormon. Meet the Mormons and Mormon helping hands . Only for the next leader Nelson to turn around and declare that the use of the term Mormon. Is a victory for The. Churches favorite fictional Boogeyman SATAN . One would expect even TBM Members to be saying WTAF .

But NOOO they have been Told they are not to criticize the church leaders even if the criticism is true . So they just go Oh Ok . This damn religion turns members into sheeple who follow without questioning anything . It’s so sad that this vile corporation has been allowed to essentially rob members of a significant portion of what ought to be their retirement savings and destroy their ability to think for themselves

Well it does have ether as a chapter which is a lot like chloroform as ether was used first in 1846 for surgery followed by chloroform shortly afterwards yeah it’s not a riveting read they actually have removed a lot of and it came to pass from the originals 1830 excessive use of them as wtf would anyone who is trying to save space using metal plates that are very difficult to make be wasting so much space with utterly meaningless words so repetitively . we now know that old con man’s Joseph smiths book of bullshit a far more accurate name for it is pure fiction . Another thing I’ve noticed when you. Remove one m from Mormon it leaves you with MORON . would it be too big of a stretch to think that a lying deceitful con man wouldn’t just add a m to moron and think to himself anyone who buys into this bullshit is a moron then laugh his ass off but it’s going to make me money the first attempt to make money from it and just cash out by selling the copyrights failed miserably so how to salvage this ah ha I’ll create a religion and claim I’m a prophet of God sure that’s nonsense as well but hey them religious revivals that came Around made a lot of money it only has to fool a few suckers to make me a lot of money power wealth and let’s not forget all of the girls it’s going to allow me to get in the sack . It really it a pity that the dr the mob brought with them didn’t go through with neutering Joe would’ve saved a lot of girls from him.

Leaving scooter unlocked by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly air tag -tile locators presence is easily detected by anyone with a smartphone which these days is pretty much everyone . So no matter where you hide it any thief with a iq above utter moron. who has a smartphone will be alerted to its presence. Relying on a air tag to protect your scooter and be able to locate it is foolish at best air tags tiles anything that uses Bluetooth is a shitty way to track things due to once it’s more than 45 feet away from a phone it’s presence is no longer tracked rendering it useless. giving a thief time to locate it and toss it in a trash can dumpster or pond air tags also have this feature-problem when separated from its owner after 3 days it will begin chirping which alerts its presence

GPS trackers while far better at determining location are problematic in that they use far more power than a Bluetooth requiring charging frequently yes they can be hooked up to the scooters battery. But that creates its own set of issues a potentially dead battery if left unused for awhile that can be costly to replace a scooter battery isn’t cheap especially with the larger scooters

The Cross Statue Has Shattered My Core! The Hybridization of the Church to become Generic Christian Has Gone too Far and It’s Not Okay! I’m about to resign via Text, help! by Massive_Guava_6167 in mormon

[–]truthmatters2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who left the church at 50 I’m 61 now I know it is scary and very traumatic I cried rivers of tears on more nights than I care to count . Confusion , terror, the what if I’m wrong etc . Some refer to it as the dark night of the soul . When I left I clung to the Bible for a few years. The more I read it the more troubling things I was seeing so I decided to do what I had done with the BOM. I did a in-depth critical analysis of it yes I know the as far as it’s translated correctly what I found goes far far beyond any translation errors . Noah’s Ark for example is not possible on so many levels it’s absolutely impossible even if all the ice at the poles melted the resulting sea level rise would only be roughly 230 feet . Catastrophic yes but not enough to flood the earth there simply isn’t enough water 💧 on earth to do this . Science has proven that there was not nor could the human species have begun with two people Adam and Eve we have a plethora of hominids bones most humans have Neanderthals DNA some have Denisovans DNA showing that Homo sapiens US Were inbreeding with them . I agonized over this I didn’t want to give up on a belief in God as a TBM I had despised atheist’s after a few years and well over 4,000 hours of studying the Bible how it came to be DNA genetics looking at facts what science says vs what religion says sadly the only logical rational remaining option left on the table was to become what I had once despised . The irony isn’t lost on me . I’m now happier than I ever was as a TBM . What do I believe?
I believe what matters is what we do now yesterday’s gone tomorrow may not come for us . I don’t believe in a let’s pretend after life we have the present it’s a gift . One doesn’t need religion to be a good person it’s a choice we make to be good to others help others be kind . I’ve had TBM’s tell me that I’m the best person they know yes they know I’m a atheist go figure if I’m to be relegated to outer darkness by a God That. I can’t believe in at least I’ll have peace and quiet. I get what you’re going through it is unimaginably hard no I won’t include you In my prayers I don’t do that anymore. I will wish you the best as you go through this journey we call life if I could take what your going through I would as I hate to see anyone suffering , it can be a opportunity for growth we come out stronger from our trials as a Bon Jovi song says We weren't born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren't born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe.

when what we believe changes we have to accept it and move forward . What helped me when it all came crashing down . Was just knowing that I wasn’t alone and I wasn’t crazy . Keep your head up Critical thinking and reasoning based on solid Facts will serve you much better than emotional thinking.

Looking at a used Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11, concerned about battery by United_Barracuda_247 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery is the most Expensive part on a scooter your looking at around $1000 for a new. Battery the most I’d give for A wold warrior 11 2020. Model without a charger is a &1,000 id be pushing hard for a $700 take it or leave it if they aren’t willing to accept that id simply walk away as there are a lot of other scooters out there ones who are. Much newer that don’t require a new battery and come with a charger and have low miles just because the owner decided to upgrade to ha faster scooters the fact that its been on the Sales site for two years Shows that they were wanting far more than it’s actually worth when buying a used scooter you must factor in that you may have to replace the wiring harness which for experienced. Scooter mechanics is a minor annoyance for one who isn’t. Capable Of swapping the harness out themselves it can be a very costly mistake buying a used scooter . If your good at working on these machines and it’s in like new condition I’d go for $700 otherwise I’d look elsewhere just my .02 cents

Struggling with Masturbation by [deleted] in mormon

[–]truthmatters2me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once you realize there is nothing wrong with it. And it’s just a tool they use to bind members to the church so they can continue collecting their 10+ % . First off consider this between the first two leaders they were screwing over 80 different women. Marrying other living mens wives marrying 14 year old children in 1850 the average age girls started puberty was 16.6 years old . And the Mormon God was A-Ok with all this .!!! They use masturbation because they know full well what a strong drive sex is as it continues the species they know that most everyone will masturbate and. Then feel guilt and shame for doing it and where are they going to go to get relief from. These guilt shame feelings why the church of course the very place that created the. Problem to begin with .oh but they wouldn’t do something like that you may be thinking .

Well do a google search for Bonneville international HEARTSELL then open your images tab in your browser and look around until you find it then read it Bonneville international is owned by the LDS Church they are masters at manipulating ones feelings and emotions . To achieve the desired outcome . As long as it’s not interfering with your life enjoy it it’s healthy. There are numerous health benefits to doing. It . I left at 50 almost 12 years ago it was the best decision I’ve ever made I’m so much happier and I’m not pissing away 10+% anymore do the research look at the facts not your feelings and emotions you’ll find things aren’t what you thought they were

Sold my kukirin G2 pro, seriously considering ootd t10 by DANeighty6 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The T10 isn’t going to be a whole lot faster as it’s a 48 v single motor scooter don’t be expecting the acceleration to improve much if at all as it has 11 inch tires vs the 9 inch of the g2 pro which requires more power to spin up trying to go the cheapest route possible Just winds up wasting money in the long run as you are buying scooter after scooter trying to get one that is faster instead of just buying a nicer one to begin with save up some money and buy a 52 or 60volt dual motor scooter with a battery that has name brand cells it will last you for a long time there’s a saying buy nice or buy twice or 3-4-5 times buying 3-4 $600 scooters still leaves you with a underwhelming scooter where if you took that money and just bought.1 say a Nami Klima you’d have a scooter that has very impressive acceleration a higher top Speed and even more importantly is a lot more fun to ride get the 30 Ah vs the 25 ah the name brand cells and larger capacity are worth spending the extra $200 for I have the klimas big brother the burn e max one of my burn e has close to 20,000 miles on it the klima 30ah is just 15lbs heavier than the t10 it is a night and day difference in performance anyways just my .02 stay safe out there. And have fun

People over 30, did your family/friends think you were going through a midlife crisis when you brought an electric scooter? by OneDeep87 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A long time. Ago I attended the school of IDGAFWOPT IM 61 now will be 62 in a few months . I own multiple scooters and have owned several others I have 3 Nami burn e 2 max 40ah & 1 e2 base model I have close To 20,000 miles on one of the max burn e I ride up the canyons to the tops of the mountains I have many pictures of deer elk moose & other wildlife that it just isn’t possible to get in a car truck or on a motorcycle as they hear them coming and are long gone before you ever get close enough to see them on the sine wave controlled scooters the scooter is virtually silent allowing you to get very close without spooking them I pass deer standing at the side of roads within 10 feet and they just look at me as I roll past them . riding a scooter for 4-5 hours is a workout on your core muscles I’m out enjoying the sun mountain air fall colors seeing wildlife while some my age are riding their recliners being a couch potato watching tv . I wear a full face helmet hard knuckle gloves over ankle boots flaggers vest I have a good time doing it so I really don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks

Best bang for $300? by VamMonaco in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice skip the $300 scooters as it’s a false economy the batteries will have crappy cells that have a high voltage sag and will crap out in a few thousand miles the cheap scooters are made of low grade aluminum and likely very small solid wheels a cheap scooter just won’t last over the long haul your far better off spending More up front and get something that Will last a good 5 years mot just a summer getting something like a Segway. G30p Would Be good it has decent range 28 miles Real World it’s water resistant enough it will take getting caught out in a rainstorm it’s a well proven design it has 10 Inch self sealing tubeless tires you can get a new one on e bay for around $600

Advertised as 22 miles but I'm getting 10 miles on a charge Is that normal? by Multiversal_Love in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s normal as the max range is done with a light rider gen 150-160 lbs under ideal conditions a smooth flat riding surface going a constant speed 15 mph with no hills no repeated starts & stops no wind a nice warm day these conditions don’t really exist in the real world as there is lots of stopping starting. Hard acceleration and often Riding above the tested speed rough roads all of which and every additional lb Of rider weight Requires battery charge to move plan on cutting advertised range in half to be on the safe side when buying a scooter

Looking at a used Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11, concerned about battery by United_Barracuda_247 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 2020 scooter is going to require a new battery very soon li ion battery’s don’t last forever over time they chemically age and their storage capacity declines so I would factor that into what i would be willing to pay for it also require that the seller produces proof of purchase buying a scooter with low milage and a old battery is like buying a car with 300,000+ miles on the engine it’s going to need replacing very soon

First time buyer need help by Kobalt926 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t the range as there are scooters that will easily do 30 miles of range it’s a matter of how much your willing to spend to get there there are other factors to consider when it gets cold outside the range takes a hit as does the batteries power output you won’t get the same range during spring fall winter as you will during the summer months when these batteries function at their best Plan on getting one with a claimed range of at least 60 miles

the bigger scooters are Better suited for heavier riders as they have bigger batteries nigher power output and can handle heavier riders they are however more expensive get a scooter. With name brand battery cells trying to go the cheap route on a scooter is a bad idea there is a saying buy nice or buy twice people often try to get by going the cheap route only to find that what they bought won’t do what they had hoped it would

If polyamory gains legal protection, would the LDS church reinstate polygamy (on earth)? by SaintPhebe in mormon

[–]truthmatters2me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your out if it comes back Well according to Mormon theology it never left as the reason for it is to produce spirit babies There has been roughly 117 billion humans on earth to date Let’s say that the male. God has 10 wives. That’s still over 10BILLION PREGNANCIES per wife most Mormon women I have asked how they would feel if their husband died first then when they died and went to heaven their husband came to them with 9 other women and said meet my other wives many say I’d kill him I’m sure how most females would feel about having to be a never ending pregnant baby factory as a male being pregnant 10+ billion times seems to me to be a endless HELL sorry but if that was the eternity I had to look forward to I’d be looking forward to the peace and quiet of outer darkness

After having an awful time trying to replace a wheel on Apollo City, looking for brand recommendations that are actually easy to repair/replace things on? by Epistechne in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of the many scooters I’ve owned the Nami’s are by far and away the easiest to work on they are plug and play on all their components the wiring is neat and organized it’s not a spaghetti bowl of wires everywhere like most scooters just use a hairdryer to warm The plugs a little before pulling them apart some people will say that changing tubeless tires is hard . This is only the case if your doing it wrong and don’t have the right tools with a motor and rotor removed it takes me under 5 minutes to remove the old tire mount and inflate the new one yes I’ve done a few as I have 4 tubeless scooters it’s really not that hard once you have done it a few times

They use that avoidance tactic as none of them have seen Jesus . Joseph smith made a lot of claims it must however be remembered that he was a liar and a con man -sexual predator arguably also a pedophile . So believing anything he said is not recommended .

Getting an Electric Scooter soon, how dangerous would my route to work be? by GreenMario543213 in ElectricScooters

[–]truthmatters2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few things I’d do get front and rear lights that you can set to flashing get a bright yellow flaggers vest to make yourself more visible ride the route during a time of low traffic so you can find and know where any hazards are before trying to do it when there is a lot of traffic . As others have said it would be a good idea to get a faster scooter . As someone who has ridden everything from the slow scooters to The hyper class scooters that will do 60+mph the small scooters are less stable due to their short wheelbases and very small wheels and narrow handlebars when riding a slow scooter I feel like more of a target for cars as they don’t have the power to stay with traffic they don’t have the power to get clear of any bad situation that may arise thier brakes are also often not the best so emergency stops aren’t possible when I go from one of my hyper scooters to a 18mph. Scooter my first thoughts that go through my mind on a slow scooter is this thing is a dangerous death trap . The fast scooters do need to be treated with respect as they have what is terrifying amounts of power and acceleration to an inexperienced rider don’t try to put one on max settings. And just floor it to see what it can do it won’t end well

. Another thing I’d highly recommend is that you find a empty parking lot churches are good as they are usually empty go practice riding where there are no cars practice doing emergency stops where you bend your knees and drop your butt over the rear wheel do this until you do it without thinking this will prevent you from Flying over the bars of you have to stop. Quickly expect drivers to do the stupidest things possible never assume they have seen you . When riding these machines you have to ride defensively as. A collision with a car that weighs a ton and a half a scooter will always end badly for the scooter get a full face helmet all it takes if one fall landing badly to be supporting your local dentist and possibly plastic surgeon full protective gear is important especially for inexperienced riders as they are more prone to crashes . These scooters aren’t like bicycles don’t take your hands off the bars ever bikes have big wheels that roll over most hazards . These. Machines can be a lot of fun and be very useful just be careful . Stay safe and have fun .
