So the letters have been chock full of platitudes about "learning the importance of following Christ. In reading this I pondered on what it was to follow Christ as a Mormon. In retrospect following Christ meant supporting Mormonism. At the core, you really DON'T support Christ as a Mormon if you don't pay your tithing...Jesus needs his ten percent. Getting married outside of the temple? Jesus, through Joe and his other "representatives" said its the only way to truly follow Jesus.
Not baptised LDS? You aren't following Jesus. The only way to truly Love Jesus is to be baptised a Mormon. Its THE ONLY WAY.
So all you Mormons out there, just remember - Without food storage, Sexual stupidity and blatant disregard for what constitutes Truth, you aren't following Christ!
Merry Effing Smithmas!
Was any of what they wrote quotes from the pulpit?
I see a lot of this Merc during this time of the year. Mormonism, it is about family... As long as that family is paying, praying and obeying. The rest that are on the outside, and well, we don't quite know what to do with them.
There is only one mold you must fit in Mormonism.
