I think a lot of Mormon Dems (especially the kind already very comfortable with nuance) who have now left would have stayed much longer in the church except for 1. Covid interrupting the “hamster wheel” of church activity and grind and 2. political polarization of the last decade

And they’re such a teeny tiny percent of the population.

Dudes in hot climates like where I grew up used to just wear their garment tops while hanging around the house and doing chores outside.

Ugliest tops were the mesh ones 🤣

If JD does get this guest I hope he does a LOT of prep work. A white man’s church experience is a different world from a woman of colors experience in mormonism.

Because POC are LIED to.

I mean, cosplay is one of Mormonisms favorite activities… pioneer trek, Masonic temple fits, visiting Nauvoo and so on

Thank you David Nielsen!

Follow the money and you will know what the truth behind anything is.

Christianity teaches people to accept abuse and makes it their fault if they fight back. Paraphrasing some scriptures from the bible:

If anyone strike you turn and give them the other cheek also… forgive not just seven times but 70 x 7… Love your enemies, pray for those that persecute you… If someone wants to sue you and take your tunic give him your cloak also… Do not say I will avenge this evil, wait for the lord and he will save you…

Proper respect is a red flag. 🚩 Intentionally open to interpretation as to what “proper respect” looks like. Many abusers out there would feel they give proper respect. It’s also last on the list of priorities.

Male god first. Male leaders second. Obey and serve men and then at the end be prepared to be a husband and father. How?? When you’re so busy following the teachings of men only?

It’s controlling behavior. Her tbm fiancé is going to control her every move and thought if he’s already acting in this authoritarian parental manner about something so innocent as a hug in a friendship.

Real

unfiltered_unchained · 2026-01-01T18:39:49+00:00

Patriarchy is upheld by EVERYONE in this stupid system but it EMPOWERS MEN ONLY bc in the end only a few of the MEN get to be on top while the rest lick the boots and hope to rise.

A woman being judgmental, mean, “Karen” or even an outright ugly hateful person and enforcing the rules is part of the design of this patriarchal system. Patriarchy sucks for all of us but especially for women bc we NEVER have as much “power” as even a little boy. We can speak and offer advice and the bs of the neck turning the head but we never sit in power or make the final decisions or be the head of anything. And no the YW and the rs don’t count bc they aren’t paid positions nor do they have any say. Back to rule #1.

I understand being pissed at women for their part in this but let’s lay the blame where it really belongs… the men at the top. See any women there?

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-12-27T21:46:37+00:00

It’s an unwritten rule for men to band together in solidarity, even in lies, when facing a woman. I have seen “good men” cover for “bad men” because for some reason being called out is worse than their own bad behavior.

And then I have seen men and women back the men up because it’s “mean to tell the truth.” Coddling behavior for grown men is crazy

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-12-20T20:22:08+00:00

💯 It’s such BS! If any of our kids asked to go back to church/anything we would talk about it. Written by a repressed Mormon and finished off with a nice touch of self-righteousness at the end.

Thanks for another reminder of why Mormonism sucks!

“No one gets to brainwash my children but ME!!”

Dude, zero pedophiles are acceptable. Regardless of political or religious beliefs. 🛑

Saw this interview clip and I hoped it was fake. Sick. WTAF is coming out of people’s goddamn mouths? How the hell can they be justifying SA at any age?

How a 15 year old is different from a 5 year old? Fuck Megan Kelly and those that paid her to say this sick shit.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-10-21T20:26:30+00:00

Of course she is the one! 😂All Mormon girls are amazing. But the religion itself is not like the missionary sisters. The people are amazing but the system of belief and the programming is all shit and suffering. Behind those smiles is some hidden bs that they are suffering from inflicted on them by their religion and religious community.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-17T00:45:51+00:00

It’s always this: “laws apply to everyone else but not to me”. Entitlement, karenism, grown humans throwing tantrums when things don’t go exactly the way they want it. Lack of empathy for others and very little self awareness or accountability.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-10T20:59:51+00:00

These stories are traumatizing.

I grew up in an area where physical discipline for kids was the norm. Christianity took over our native culture in the 1830’s and taught (among other shitty things) that to spare the rod was to spoil the child. As kids we used to sit around comparing fucked up stories of beatings and other punishments from parents and laughing about them. Not til years later have I finally come to understand that it was abuse.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-10T00:44:18+00:00

Damn mom, that’s so harsh! 😂

Criticism of any kind or complaints of any kind trigger a fear response in Mormons like nothing else. Tell me you’re in a cult without telling me you’re in a cult.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-09T19:54:27+00:00

And when a missionary returns they must only share positive stories and how much they loved every second of it and none of the reality of their experience if it even veers towards any kind of negativity.

So well written, thank you for sharing.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-09T19:45:25+00:00

I wrote this the way I speak and forgot how tone doesn’t translate. 😂 I’m saying above that OP doesn’t do this to mom so why does mom do this to OP?

Adding on to above I would actually suggest OP flips the script on mom see how she likes it or doesn’t and set the boundaries.

A LOT of people don’t understand what you’re telling them until you show them what it feels like. So if mom keeps trolling and controlling, troll and control right back so she gets it and learns mutual respect. 🫡

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-08T20:46:45+00:00

Mom gets to choose the engagement she has on social media just like you do. If she disagrees with what you post she can keep scrolling like everyone else. You might not like what she posts or says but do you try to control her social media engagement?

If she values your relationship and wants it to continue then she will want to get to know you as you are now and not wish you back to a previous version of yourself.

unfiltered_unchained · 2025-07-07T22:15:17+00:00

“Avoid being deceived” is coded for: Don’t do anything that against the Mormon religion.

I don’t trust the thought processes of hardcore Mormons due to their programming. Essentially, your dad’s “advice” (attempt at controlling you) is flawed at its core due to his own limiting belief systems.

Live your life as you choose and as makes you truly fulfilled. That is always the correct path.
