ExMormon

Mormon blood??

A few years ago my older brother told me that at our Thanksgiving and Christmas family dinners he fills a powerade bottle with red wine. For years I never noticed. I remembered thinking “good for him, avoiding all the soda and bringing his own healthy drink” lol. I was still scared to try it myself, but it went fine, and the last time I used a pomegranate juice bottle instead. I love red wine, and with big family dinners with 40+ people of all ages and hours long, it REALLY helps me enjoy myself. Plus, I can take a sip during the prayer and that’s cathartic for some reason.

I don’t have much to say. I just felt this should at least be mentioned here.

Anyway, Oaks is gonna be rough. May his reign be short.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen it in other exmo circles. This film verifiably shows the handshakes in the LDS temple endowment too, unlike the newnamenoah recording. Can’t believe this one’s not on YouTube.

Definitely not undercover Fundies either. :-)

Bednar… huh where have I heard that name before??

This is from 1988 if there are any fun changes to look for.

His name was Zelph. The curse was taken from him, or at least in part; one of his thigh bones was broken, by a stone flung from a sling while in battle years before his death.

In case the title doesn’t make sense: it’s a mix of “carefully-worded denial” (from the gospel topics essays) and “word salad” (a more accurate description).

Sorry that I’m flooding this community with memes lol

Honestly I hate wild fires; the smoke is no joke. It is horrible; and I hope they get it under control soon.
