The End of Nemo the Mormon

[bbbbbbb]

I think his cardinal sin was noting that temple steeples are not necessary for temple ordinances.

In other words, not following the brethren when they say 2+2=5.

I agree. I watched the video of his testimony and thought to myself that he had just pounded the final nail in his Mormon coffin. As with John Dehlin, I am convinced that Nemo the (ex-)Mormon will go from strength to strength. More specifically, the LDS church in Great Britain will probably diminish even further, both in numbers and in influence, despite the hedonistic campaign to engage in a massive series of erections.

The cynic in me thinks that Nemo cares more about changing the church than maintaining his membership. And the church cares more about saving face than it does about ministering to a member in need.

In other words, Nemo the Mormon isn’t really a Mormon in the same way that the LDS church isn’t really a church.

Nemo argued that steeple height had never been the cornerstone of the LDS Church. I know for many years polygamy was hailed as the foremost principle. A few years ago the Church proclaimed that obedience to Church leaders in their chain of command was most important; sort of like a paramilitary organization.

In any case, Nemo did disagree with what the Church was pushing at that moment in time.

Well, at least they didn't declare, "Off with his head," and send Orin Porter Rockwell after Nemo. If Nemo had undergone the Ceremony of Pazuzu and drank the nectar of Saitan like RFM, then he would have been spared the indignity of becoming a TK Smoothie and forgoing the LDS harem of wives in the Celestial Kingdom.

I'm heartily ashamed I got the Pazuzu reference. RIP James Earl Jones, The Exorcist 2 wasn't your finest hour.

Pazuzu was mentioned in the original Exorcist and the book. Don't be ashamed of being old. I bet RFM would get the nectar of Shaitan reference, at least if he cared about the virgin Connie Swail from BYU. Nuff said.

Free Nemo!

Come on Moksha, everyone knows she's now just Connie Swail, Joe Friday made sure if that.

The church will Free Nemo, of his tithing obligations that is.

The Church is so bad at PR. They're going to be a 1 million member church with 1 trillion dollar trust fund in a hundred years.

Is this like Riley Gaines, the University of Kentucky swimmer who had the fortune of tying for fifth with a transgender woman in the NCAA finals? That type of victimhood was the best thing that could have ever happened to her, and she's been able to turn it into a career making seven figures.

To the detriment of real victims, this type of victimhood pays. There are so many more who don't have the marketing skills, following, looks, connections, agenda, etc., to offset what they have had to go through.

I honestly don't know who Nemo is. Sounds like some influence, youtuber, podcaster. Don't really know. If he can market this to his benefit, then good for him. And maybe this was the goal all along. I don't know. There's a reason why I've never donated a penny to Dehlin.

Now is the great day of Dallin Oak's power. Nemo today, Radio Free Mormon tomorrow.

I did see a few comments around the Internet that Oak et al. might be cleaning the pantry while Nelson is still around to eat the shitburgers.

I am podcasting on that very thing at 6:00 this evening MT!

Watching now. I have to ask since Oaks is using the Nelson surgeon anecdote about cutting widely and deeply how long is it going to be as this church sinks inward before they start excommunicating couples because the spouse isn't willing to discredit the "offending" spouse? Or cutting off whole congregations like the ones that raised a decent stink about women sitting on the dais or other unforeseen issues that will arise? Or are they okay just consolidating and consolidating wards as liberal members continue to drift away?

[consiglieri]

I think Elder Oaks sees it as clearing away the dead wood so the orchard can thrive


…which is supposed to be done by Jesus at the Second Coming but oh well
