@VidMasterEon @Terry idk about any other Christian sects but in mormonism they actually straight up teach that it WAS the romans, not the jews, and if you say anything bad about the jews you'll often hear "but Jesus was a jew."
@BigDuck @Terry @ImperialAgent @VidMasterEon or have billions in big pharma
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @VidMasterEon coming from someone who used to be mormon, yeah they believe in underpants that you are basically required to wear, they have symbols on them that mean different holy things and they believe that as long as you wear them you'll be protected from evil. there is plenty of mormon folklore of people's garments saving them from house fires, drowning, and such.
@Varus @Terry @ImperialAgent @1nter4ri @BigDuck @VidMasterEon everyone shames you for not wearing them, and a lot of the mormon religion (or a lot of religion in general) revolves around shame and fear.
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon most people who are in the church are either people who
1) were raised in it from birth and don't know anything else and the social dogma of leaving would be so much that they don't even consider it
2) are from third world countries and are either actually stupid or are just poor and want someone to take care of them
when i was training for a mission, they beat it into us practically that we had to ask someone if they wanted to get baptized after the very first lesson. they're pretty desperate for members as they're practically bleeding them at this point except for the babies born straight into it and the gullible people from the third world.
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon this isn't like, a hard statistic or anything, but i think this is pretty interesting to note.
pretty staggering difference in users and interaction.
i know, >reddit, but the exmormon sub is really interesting to read through, lots of heinous shit in there.
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon like this one, for instance. womp womp.
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon of course, most exmormons are liberal as shit, so they praise this kind of stuff lol. but it goes to show that the church is a bunch of balogna.
@TalmudTranslator @Terry @ImperialAgent @1nter4ri @BigDuck @VidMasterEon idk the stories here reflect the discussions i've had with people IRL as well as my own experience. there are lots of people that do have a good experience for sure, and there are still good people in the church, but there's a lot of horrible shit too.
a lot of people talk about their experiences there as a way to vent and help cope with it because, at least in utah for sure, the social grip of mormonism is really strong for a lot of people and that can take a toll on your mental state.
but yes they are definitely faggots lol. i wish people who left the church didn't immediately latch on to some other brainwashing NPC shit but i guess that's typical human behavior.
@TalmudTranslator @Terry @ImperialAgent @1nter4ri @BigDuck @VidMasterEon a lot of it just talks about hypocrisy of the church in general, too.
@1nter4ri @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @Northman @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon mormon people are generally outwardly nice. a lot of it they really only do to keep up appearances. i'm not saying that every mormon person is totally fake or whatever but it's a pretty prevalent thing.
@Eiswald @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @TalmudTranslator @VidMasterEon people like this should leave now and stop holding onto it or waiting for X to happen before they leave officially. getting out of there feels like such a huge burden on your spirit being lifted.
@TalmudTranslator @Terry @ImperialAgent @BigDuck @VidMasterEon they only want the govt to fuck off so that they can *become* the govt. utah is pretty much run by mormons, they even have tunnels that go everywhere downtown and a big vault in the mountains to protect their secrets. that's not even a conspiracy, either.
@NotoriousDOG @Terry @GaryBussy @VidMasterEon mfw i need to know freemason handshakes to get into heaven
