MEXICAN MORMON FUNDAMENTALISM, A 🧵:

While there has been a rapid increase in the announcement & construction of Latter-day Saint temples in recent years, many members of @Ch_JesusChrist are less familiar with temples affiliated with other branches of the Restoration…

In 1974, LDS leaders told bishops to ask married couples if they practiced “unnatural” sex. Admitting to oral sex could cost you a temple recommend, even if you were faithful in every other way. This affected countless marriages and made some dissolve.

[Moroni Porter Rockwell @PIMOMoroni]

The Word of Wisdom was originally just “good advice,” explicitly not a commandment. Then in 1921, right as the US launched Prohibition, the prophet suddenly received a revelation to make it binding. Wanting to be morally superior added coffee and tea. Nothing like divine timing to look morally superior.

I'm glad you have the heart to recognize Satan's hand.
No man of god would teach the curse of Cain.

God says : "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus"

Brigham Young says : "They ought to dwell in servitude"

One of my sisters is dyslexic and bought her boyfriend a Christmas card, she’s just realised it doesn’t say Christmas it says christening. He’s coming over in 15 minutes 😭

[JoshN @joshnaa2gez]

Is it inherently evil for Joseph Smith to be sealed to teenagers, especially when he was so much older?

Ok… I’m repulsed by the idea of someone marrying anyone under 18��� and even 18 seems way too young.

But if we’re evaluating what is inherently, eternally evil, we 1/12

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire.

21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape.

A THREAD.

Now is as good a time as any time to say that I’ve always thought Captain Moroni seemed like he’d be a real asshole in person

@LisaShambrook @whitecatprophcy So sad for your dad. If she went through the temple after 1964 this might help refresh his memory: https://t.co/dvJPLnSyOc

The real story about why Mormons can no longer say “Mormon”. Good thing they are all obedient little robots for the Lord.

🧵Was interviewed this morning about my essays on Heavenly Mother, so I've been thinking about this. It's too early to see the long-term impact of Elder Renlund's talk, but Oct 2022 general conference did not have references to HM or Heavenly Parents. 1/5

@Princeprempehs @cwillardsmoot The LDS church doctrine is clear that dark skin is a curse for sin. The doctrine itself says that black people are descendants of Cain, the first Son of Perdition. Why would you support a religion that hates you?
