Rough Stone Resting

Turns out I'm not gonna fill the whole earth after all. Postmormon, still figuring spirituality out but done with religion. Still like Jesus as a person. He/him

@whitecatprophcy Scrupulosity is one hell of a drug. I've been out for two years now and it's still not truly gone, though it's certainly diminished now that I'm out.

I'm sorry about your aunt. OCD at all is *miserable* to live with, even without religion.

@whitecatprophcy I had been hesitant for family reasons for a long time, but I think this is what I needed in order to actually cut that tie.

@sapien786 Even if not believing in God were the most evil thing possible, people still only live a finite amount of time. A God that would give you infinite punishment for finite wrongdoing cannot be just.

@AprilcotTree Guess the stone hewn without hands is having second thoughts?

[Rough Stone Resting @TiredOfRolling]

Between that and the Ensign Peak fiasco, I really don't think I want to take their word for what integrity is. Plenty of its members may have integrity, but the church as a whole? Yeah, posting anonymously and critically doesn't seem so bad in comparison, now does it?

[Rough Stone Resting @TiredOfRolling]

You know, talks about integrity just don't hit very hard when the organization that delivers it recently argued in court that it's perfectly okay for them to know child abuse is going on and then do nothing to protect that child or even report the abuser.

This could mean that doctrine does change, that modern leaders are leading the church astray by not teaching the old doctrine any longer, or that prior leaders led the church astray by claiming policy as doctrine. In the end, it doesn't matter: the story isn't adding up. (3/3)

Read the Lowry Nelson papers the other day. There are many damning things to the LDS church, but I can't think of any that are both so flagrantly bad for its image and not decried as "anti-Mormon literature." If you've read it, then the next tweets should be fun. (1/3)

[Rough Stone Resting @TiredOfRolling]

The FP clearly stated that the racial ordinance/priesthood ban was a matter of unchanging doctrine, and suggested that questioning it could be worthy of excommunication. Nowadays, it's referred to as a non-doctrinal policy, and that there was no doctrinal basis for it. (2/3)

@_Cultch Anecdotal, I know, but nobody I know who has left has ever returned, while those who were simply inactive sometimes have.

@_nomadic_soul The lack of reading comprehension in your comment section blows me away. These guys have to be malicious, and not really that bad at reading, right? I mean, Hanlon's Razor suggests otherwise, but I don't know...

[white cat prophecy @whitecatprophcy]

Jesus: So, you’re telling me that pretty much as soon as I left, my followers forgot what I taught and started trying to amass wealth and power?

Me: nailed it

Jesus:

Me:

Jesus:

Me: I’m sorry, that was insensitive

@BisexualExmo @ApostateAbish I'm so glad that you were able to get through these feelings and find healing. Thank you for the encouragement.

[Rough Stone Resting @TiredOfRolling]

@ApostateAbish Thank you for the space to do so.

@BarbaroJoe272 @parmesanbreeze @idrinkanarchy @_nomadic_soul Okay, good, you don't want unenthusiastic consent. That was the whole point of this.

Many married couples have sex. And not doing that can still get marriages annulled. The concern comes in when married people begin to think that sex is something that can be owed. (It can't be.)

[Rough Stone Resting @TiredOfRolling]

@BarbaroJoe272 @parmesanbreeze @idrinkanarchy @_nomadic_soul What would be equivalent to a woman dragging a man to an event he doesn't want to go to is a man dragging a woman to an event she doesn't want to go to. All parties involved in sex should be enthusiastic about it.

If your S/O is always dismissive of you, that's a them problem.
