I'd put evangelicals into that list.

Well done you.my heartiest Congratulations for escaping from them.

The letter they sent to me told me I had been excommunicated. After ten years to trying to get out of the (Mormon) church was to think about framing it... perhaps in the same frame as my baptismal certificate. Then, I realized it wasn't all that important and I didn't need the reminder. I finally won (meanign they'd finally leave me alone). That was enough.

@snytiger6 even their patriarchal blessing is just superstitious nonsense threw mine out not even worth the paper it’s printed on nothing more than soothsayer which holds no water in reality

@AJimboShep82 I never had one. However my brother who is still in the church has had three, even though you are only supposed to have one.

I agree that there is nothing to them, as if there were they'd be showing them off as proof of the truth of their religion. When parts of them so come true, I suspect they are self fulfilling prophecies where the recipient makes a huge effort to make sure what was predicted comes true.

I didn’t even bother writing that letter I’m sure they are still trying to find me but they never will

@snytiger6 it’s only by chance if any of it does happen no different than drawing bower in each hand playing euchre

Speaking of harassment you should see how they treat people that “ fall away “ they practically down right stalk them

@AJimboShep82 is that their term for an apostate.?

@Canndue it’s been stated a few times by a few members and yes that is what was meant .

Yeah, a part of me thought he (Joseph Smith) might have chosen the name in part because he know people who believed him were morons , as a little inside joke to himself.

@snytiger6 Exactly!

Smiths childhood home is 1/2 hr from here

They make it very difficult to "officially" leave. The reason is they count those who left "unofficially" as beign still members, which inflates their membership numbers, making it seem they have more folowers than they really do. That is not an uncommon practice among religions.

Hey, @Birdman1, did I say something to upset you with my comment, the TRUTH btw, regarding Mormonism?

@Triphid I honestly do not know what you are referring to. Oh, my angry face? nO, that was not at all about your comment, but about Joseph smith, and his venal spoor.

@BirdMan1 Fair enough then now I understand.
But I forgot to INCLUDE one the WORST, imo, of the Founders of Mormonism, one Brigham Young, a War-mongering, Misogynistic, Inexcusable, Tyrannical, Mercenary, Venal, Money-Grubbing Bastard.

@Triphid Well put.

@Triphid Oh, but don't old back.

@BirdMan1 Friend, I try NEVER to "hold back" when it comes to ANY religion, Mormonism in particular, since my research over the many, many years has shown well EXACTLY what they are like.

@Triphid Good for you!

@Triphid come on, you must have an opinion on him...

So what’s the deal with their magic underwear?

@Canndue here is where it gets even more cultish ,there are symbols on the garments both top and bottom and those symbols even tie into the free masons “secret hand shakes “ and each also having to do with the priesthood’s ( the same hand shakes the free masons used ).

@AJimboShep82 what do the hash marks indicate?

@Canndue [google.ca]

@AJimboShep82 not quite the hash marks I had in mind

@Canndue could have been brown marks just sayin lol

Exactly
