@Moon @shmibs at least when i went to church, it was required to pay tithing to get your temple recommend. maybe in practice they don't actually care, but i always was under the impression that while i could lie about not jerking it i couldn't lie about not giving them money, because they would actually know if i did or not.

@shmibs @Moon technically, yes. you don't have to pay tithing to be a member, but you do have to pay tithing if you want to go to the temple, which you need to do in order to go to heaven (essentially). but they won't call you up about it or anything if you don't pay. it's mainly for records' sake at this point.

@shmibs @Moon every single member of the church has all of their information on record. this is for, as for their claims, two main reasons:

1) making sure everybody is accounted for in terms of church callings, tithes, and for the administration positions to get in contact with members to establish those things and set up meetings

2) establishing a better sense of community within your local church, where anyone can reach anybody else. they used to have church registries for all the members at a local church, we had one hanging up on our wall for years with everyone's name/number/address in it. if someone needed something, they'd have everyone's numbers and could call people up to get some help.

@Mormonius i instinctively voted no before i read "i used to be LDS"

feel free to ask me anything about why i left or how i feel about it

@Moon "basic contact information" including your entire dox lmao, glad i got my records removed years ago

@x0x7@pawoo.net kanye has always been provocative, and it's worked for him so far.

tbh idgaf if he's just bluffing or not, he's waking people up regardless.

@Nirty_Digger my best friend got married and was mormon, did all the steps necessary and took all of the precautionary guidelines. they were only married for like 6 months i think before they got a divorce.

he left the church after that and now has an awesome little family.

i'm pretty worried about one of my other friends because i see him taking the same steps, but i can't really give him advice on hypotheticals. just have to hope it works out for him, or hope that when it doesn't work out it's a learning experience.

@wgiwf @Nirty_Digger @bleedingphoenix i fucking hate this so much, it is nigh impossible to find a girl in utah that isn't either mormon or used to be mormon and is now the antithesis to one.

@wgiwf @graf @ItsSkyDragonz @ProfessionalNEET that's because they treated black mormons as second class members until the late 70s and are still trying to recover from it.

@Moon interesting, you got a place i can find more info?

lol fucking sharon

interview is a shit but god damn this is hilarious

@alyx @PinochetsCommieCopter that's just demonstrably false. the dude is literally the richest musician and is still topping charts.

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum because it's not like that was already happening on the other side
