Honestly the give away that it’s just patriarchy is that women are never called to the Sunday School Presidency even though it’s not associated with a priesthood office.
Well, Elder Godoy’s talk took the top prize for being the most harmful and damaging talk in all of @ldsconf (President Nelson’s was a close 2nd). Shaming members for being “lukewarm” when their children use their agency is destructive. I thought the church cared about familes.

I certainly agree with her that Joseph “wrote” 11,000 verses rather than “translated” them since the church said in their Gospel Topics Essay that “…the characters on the fragments do not match the translation given in the book of Abraham…” This was a painful reality to learn.

This is what happens when the @Ch_JesusChrist refuses to disavow past teachings and errors rather than just owning the mistakes of the leaders. The harm is perpetuated indefinitely by the fanatical orthodox members.
One of the heaviest criticisms from the Pharisees toward Christ was for whom he chose to associate. Jesus showed love anyway despite the pressure from the orthodox to marginalize and hate others. Patrick is only human but I’m saddened that the public pressure caused him to cave.

“I doubt much” / “Grooming maybe” / “abuse PROBABLY not” Wow. He makes it sound like grooming or a little abuse is not so bad and is tolerable. I hardly know how to respond. Does he even hear himself? Re-read your tweet @manmotion! I’m sick. These aren’t good enough reasons?!?

Tonight I was chatting with my 18 yo who knows nothing of my faith crisis. She was asking me about the OT and the conversation was very enjoyable. Then she asked where the BoA comes from. I was *very* unprepared for that question…so I lied and told her the “approved” version. 😔
The purpose of the temple recommend interview is to determine a person’s “worthiness” and if they should be granted or denied entrance into the temple to worship God. Do you think the church is currently asking
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 This makes my heart glad!
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 This makes my heart glad!
Let’s say RMN told you that he wanted the temple recommend questions revised and asked you to do it. The only parameters he gives you is that the purpose of the questions is to help determine if someone should be allowed into the temple to worship God. What would you ask?
Some days I’m really angry with the church and I wonder if I can stay. But other days, like today, I have beautiful experiences that remind me of the good that exists in the people. I met with my SP tonight and had a wonder conversation that filled my cup.
They call it a faith crisis as if the result is that you’ll no longer have faith, but my experience has been the opposite. I was so drunk in certainty before my crisis that I had little faith. As I’ve been drowning in doubt, I’ve actually discovered a faith I never knew existed.
This thread is so disheartening to me. I don’t know how I could be any more kind and patient and have been met only with intolerance and hostile judgment in the name of righteousness. I hope we can learn to do and be better. That’s what Christ taught and what the world needs.
Church is over. Time for a dip in the pool with the wife on this beautiful sabbath day. And don’t tell me the devil controls the water. That’s just ridiculous.
It’s stake conference. For the Saturday night session which is typically low attendance #’s, the visiting GA literally told everyone present that they were more righteous than the rest of the members of the stake. We need to stop teaching people that they’re better than others.🤦🏻♂️

@TheRandyMormon @Ch_JesusChrist Why "more" instead of "a reminder"? It's so problematic. Does taking the sacrament give us more access to the Savior's mercy? Or is it a beautiful reminder?
@emmusic @Ch_JesusChrist It’s a problematic message and it’s coming straight from the top and the very transactional approach that RMN has to the gospel.
When I was serving on the stake high council last year, we had a training that our SP gave after he had received training at a coordinating council where he quoted RMN who said, “Wearing the garment consistently will bring additional mercy through the atonement of Christ.” 1/
Also, garments can be a beautiful reminder of the "Savior's mercy, protection, strength, and power" but does not provide "greater access." What kind of hierarchal message does that send about the Savior's infinite mercy and power? @Ch_JesusChrist
When I was serving on the stake high council last year, we had a training that our SP gave after he had received training at a coordinating council where he quoted RMN who said, “Wearing the garment consistently will bring additional mercy through the atonement of Christ.” 1/
Should the LDS Church push harder on every day wearing of temple garments? Or should it live the decision to individuals? sltrib.com/religion/2024/…
Asking @Ch_JesusChrist Bishops and Stake Presidents to ask members more invasive questions about garment-wearing is a recipe for more disaffiliation of these leaders.
Yes, I deactivated my account. I have too many friends here to deactivate it for good, but I was hit by a flood of bullies after unblocking too many people, and I found being a piñata to be unsettling. So I’m taking a break. I’ll be back at some point. A few thoughts… 1/
I had a lot to say about @Ch_JesusChrist #generalconference. 1. Delete Elder Carpenter's talk. It is damaging theology regarding staying sealed to someone you divorce or you are no longer sealed to God. 1/4 sltrib.com/religion/2024/…
What’s the weirdest question you’ve been asked in a bishop interview? Before I went on my mission my stake president said “I know this is awkward but I’m required to ask this, have you had any inappropriate relations with livestock?”
Pres Eyring told a story about the night he and his wife had to spend the night away from their kids when the Teton Dam broke. They didn’t know if their kids were ok. His wife paced the room all night and asked him how he could sleep in a moment like this?/
Honestly the give away that it’s just patriarchy is that women are never called to the Sunday School Presidency even though it’s not associated with a priesthood office.
Every time I tweet anything involving trans people, the ghouls in my replies give me a teeny-tiny little taste of what I have to assume trans people endure pretty much continually.
Instead of saying "anonymous accounts that post negative things about the church lack integrity," ask "what causes so many to create anon accounts to post negative information?"
Once again, the number of male speakers vastly outnumbered the female ones — 29 to 3. sltrib.com/religion/2024/…
Say it again for the Mormons in the back! The ones calling for "musket fire" and ban their queer kids from their lives. The ones saying tithing is about "faith" to lds families living in poverty. The ones who shun those who have left Mormonism and label them "lazy learners".
The Bible says YHWH was defeated by the god of another nation, can’t compete against chariots, has a penis, commands child sacrifice, changes his mind & endorses spousal abuse, chattel slavery & genocide. Watch these folks insist their opinions have more authority than the Bible.
He has given me permission to use his name, but I’d still rather not for his privacy’s sake. This made my day, my week, and my year.
Do married Mormon men realize how much more sex their wives would want to have with them had they not been raised in a shame-based puritanical religion?
@TheRandyMormon Holy shit. The way they treated us, as volunteers, was just absolutely insane.
