John, release your finances

Post by _Rosebud »

I am aware that you're personally taking an income of $250,000.

Today, in the last seven minutes of your Facebook Live interview with the ex-Scientology activist, you made a plea for donations within the context of pointing out how ex-Mormons had previously pledged 10% of their income for life. You talked about how it is important to continue to
"pay it forward" after leaving Mormonism.

You emphasized that donations to Mormon Stories are completely tax deductible and that the Open Stories Foundation is completely transparent in its finances.

The Open Stories Foundation is not transparent.

-->The Open Stories Foundation has not released its most recent finances. You are LATE. <--

Please release.

Thank you.

Did you ever hear of this verse in the Bible?

"All right, say 'Shibboleth.'" If he said, "Sibboleth," because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.

Got. DAYUM. Dem Jewbs were mean as a one-eyed junkyard dog, mang. I mean, “F”. 42 THOUSAND. Just for mispronouncing a word. I swear our favorite lolcow had a post about, uh, shhhhhibboleths once.

Anyhoo.

Maybe you could accuse John of being a cereal killer. Even if the accusation is flakey, you could do it for Kix. No need to be rice on this forum.

In the Great Sleepwalker Scrape, John was the grabber and she was the grabbee. Can't remember which version I ended up believing though.
