Hilarious new intro!!! Loved it!!

[@jaolett5613]

Rebecca reminds me of my favorite Mormon aunt, if she left the church. I think she’s awesome. These three together warms my cold apostate heart.

We have been out about 5 years. We have never been invited back and we thought we were loved.

[@casterrunner8709]

Same. For me, 3 years. Crickets. “Friends” were only when I gave and gave and gave and gave. Even when I’ve texted to say I’m thinking of them…crickets. Such a Shunning Hardest part of leaving.

My oldest brother posed as Christ for an artist in Utah more than 15 years ago. My former SIL has the original. She was not married to the brother that posed. I always thought it was pretty strange but that artist used many familiar models in his works. I moved to the Salt Lake valley in the late ‘80s and left in the early ‘20s. I saw some interesting / unusual / funny / weird / strange things in those 30+(far, far too many) years in Utah.

I think they are normalizing it because they are hoping the laws may change, and they can practice their heresy again.

[@JamieLozoya-Davis-ji9fe]

They have more young women members, so they will need to eventually start actively practicing polygamy in order to get those women to the Celestial kingdom.

[@JohnLindsey-gn6vz]

Hey BRETHREN! Leave those kids alone!

[@sleepycalico]

The outro! 🤣

[@ChristineOfTheDowns]

I was taught that you only called someone a President who had Priesthood keys. I’m exmo now so it matters not to me and the church today is unrecognizable to the church I was raised in during the 1970.

[@bethsyoung641]

I was Primary Pres in the early 90s and in ward council I was called President Young.

[@kathrynclass2915]

I’m at the part in the broadcast where you guys are talking about answering questions about personal things to a male church leader, and being taught to trust that leader. You guys are talking about obedience culture is polygamy culture and it came to my mind, I don’t know if it’s going to be mentioned in the next few minutes as I keep listening, but… As a youth I was told, and then it was repeated in the young single adult ward not to turn down anyone for a date or when being asked to dance, so this whole topic of ignoring your internal signals in favor of someone else or in favor of authority, this whole doubting your own instincts and intuition over being kind, polite, obedient, etc. is really dangerous and telling women and young girls that they can’t turn down a boy or a man who asks them out because it took so much courage for the boy or man to do the asking Set women up to be in dangerous situations. Is it any wonder that the BYU‘s have so much sexual assault going on amongst the students? Women are taught to please and appease, to obey and to second-guess themselves I would say even more than the males in the church.

Ironic that in this day and age where there’s so much controversy over the age of which we teach kids about homosexuality (Johnny has two mommies) that they are introducing plural marriage to very young kids.

[@bethsyoung641]

Nooooo! Not Brad!

[@ChrisS-dt3vq]

The picture of Nelson was 2022. Re run

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

Does it matter?

[@ValeriePeterson-w5f]

I think this book for children is very disturbing 😊

[@millie6129]

I measure heads for a living. (It sounds weird. It is kind of weird.) I'm betting RFM's is about 59cm.

[@marygreen6]

Arranged marriages.

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

In India all the time. Still.
