Thing I Hate Most About Mormonism

[_Kishkumen]

Darricks roommate.

There's something that almost everyone can agree on. That man has caused more suffering than he could possibly imagine.

[_Kishkumen]

I never cared for the invasiveness of the church regarding matters that I felt were deeply personal. It really just rubbed me the wrong way to have to sit in an interview with a priesthood leader and tell him about how often I prayed, how often I read my scriptures, and even whether I was dating anyone. I kind of felt like that stuff was between me and deity, and not the 22-year-old Elder's Quorum Second Counselor du jour.

LOL! Well said.

Good point. Maybe it is time for me to move on

and leave this board like Nehor.

Please don't leave, asbestosman. I fully support you in your faith and I don't want to see you become an asshole like Nehor did. He was once a nice fellow, but his obsession with Scratch drove him to tooldom.

Was that a 'long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....'?

Nehor is a LOTR fan. Perhaps he has escaped to the Shire. ;-)

It certainly is a cautionary tale. Proceed carefully if you seek to harass a regular poster on his home turf. People will tire of it and turn against you. How popular are people who regularly attack Hamblin or DCP on MDD? At least here one does not get banned for it. Nehor was free to be as big an asshole as he wanted. I guess he finally looked in the mirror and grieved over what was staring back at him. I would welcome him back and rejoice with him were he to return to the jocularity of former days.

The idea of teaching milk before meat.

Really it's just an excuse to omit anything that isn't faith promoting. For example when the church portrays the martyrdom of Joseph Smith they omit that Joseph Smith had a pistol and fired back at his attackers. Intentionally telling the story in a way that is more faith promoting at the expense of the truth. 'Milk before meat' is just a way to rationalize lying.

The self-hate they pile upon members once they're in their teens and then onward until death. They need to call a psychologist to the quorum of the 12.

Yes. And the "meat" is never forthcoming. All you get from authorized sources is milk, until you die of extreme lactose intolerance.

[_Rambo]

The way that Mormon traditions tend to discriminate against and subordinate women.

Hi MsJack, can you go into more detail about this?

What traditions are you refering to?
