When all is over, I could be wrong about the existence of a God, whatever that is. A higher intelligence, the programmer of the simulation, an incorporeal being...whatever.
But believe me, what I am not losing ANY sleep on is my conclusion that the mormon church is not true 😂
This rant by Bednar suggesting once you’re baptized at 8 you no longer have a right to choose anything but the church (even using tithing as an example) and casually threatening we’d lose sleep over “what happens to covenant breakers” still blows my mind.

From an old Hymn Book in Portuguese (3rd verse):
"Make the Lamanite people
pleasant to the sight.
If your mark was prophesied,
so was your forgiveness."
No wonder they've "updated" the hymns in the past.
Why people "close" to u don't want deep conversations about why u left the church:
a) It's a defense mechanism cause they know u wouldn't have left without good research/reasons.
b) They're conditioned to think there're only a few reasons (spoiler: none of them is real)...
@whitecatprophcy True! They already allow medical use of cannabis, the info is on their oficial website... At least in English! In my native language the article doesn't exist (cannabis is still illegal in my home country).
@MJ_Palpatine @whitecatprophcy I didn't grow up un Utah, so I can't talk about that... Where I come from, half the people around me were mormons and the other half weren't.
But the same rule applies there, most rapes come from family or friends, religious or not.
@whitecatprophcy PS. I was 10yo when this happened.
She didn't know, but thankfully I already knew what sex was... Because a friend had told me already when I was 8 or something like that.
@whitecatprophcy My mom wouldn't let me go visit friends that were not Mormon, so I went behind her back.
She found out, and while she was spanking me she shouted that I could've been raped by someone at my non mormon friend's house.
Then she told me what a rape was 😐
