Re: Even the very elect - Church photoshops ExMormon actor from temple movie

Drumdude, reading your quote I read that the church did what the fellow asked and his wife states it is for the best. I am not seeing what you are upset about. Did I say somewhere I was upset about this? I found it interesting and noteworthy, hence posting it here. I do think it is something simila...

Even the very elect - Church photoshops ExMormon actor from temple movie

Corbin Allred is the actor who plays Satan in the LDS temple movie, and has been haphazardly thrown down the memory hole now that he has left the church: “Hey guys, Corbin doesn’t have a Reddit acct, but I will comment for us both. I’m McKenzie, his wife. First off, we appreciate everyone’s curiosit...

Re: Hello, Possums...My Final Exit from MD&D

I agree with Doc. Cult members need to cult and hate being called out for their cultist behavior. They are constantly told about being chosen and whatnot and don't want to hear otherwise. Don't let it get you down. Obviously, you are on the side of truth. Anyway, stick around here. I've always enjo...

Re: Hello, Possums...My Final Exit from MD&D

That exists as a field? Can you be more specific? And explain your reasoning so as to demonstrate you aren’t trolling? Everyone has a field. There’s no need to engage or counter apologists or (belligerent) church-associated actors through inefficient means that outside one’s expertise. I liked her ...

Re: Can we corroborate Bednar’s Conference anecdote?

Another recent similar story: Chills were rising on our skin and tears were forming in our eyes, and when we finished we all knew that we had just been a part of and witnessed something very special and very meaningful that really took our breath away,” said Alex Shapiro, executive director of the U...

Re: Hello, Possums...My Final Exit from MD&D

The faithful LDS subreddit works the same way. They need to be treated with kid gloves lest someone there subjects their testimony to critical thought.

It’s a powerful sign that the religion is fragile if it can’t handle the most gentle, thoughtful, and carefully researched criticism.

Re: Post Mormon Ethical Frameworks

First of all, let's be clear, Mormonism has no "ethical framework". An ethical framework is systematic, and Mormonism has nothing like that. I'm not even sure it has a moral framework. It certainly believes in morals or obligations, but it's an odd collection that begins with "pay your tithing" and...

Post Mormon Ethical Frameworks

Adapted from the following interesting YouTube video: https://youtu.be/iDqIi2pAedo What do ex-Mormons do when their religious ethical framework falls away? What’s wrong with living without a rigid self imposed ethical framework? Are most ex-Mormons just living with an ad-hoc, flexible framework base...

Re: Pissing on "Frenchy"'s Grave?; Or, a Case Study in Mopologetic Selfishness

But Daniel asserts his friends think DCP is the nicest person they’ve ever met.

Dan would be the first to baptize Frenchy if the darn rules just allowed it. He loves everyone, he has a pure heart made of gold and this forum nitpicks him to try and make him look bad.
