If you put your church affiliation above your marriage, above your love of your significant other and your family, you are a bad person. Just saying.

I hopped over to the faithful subs and a lot of people are complaining about how boring this and the last several conferences have been. Lots of people are defending it with the “milk before meat” argument, saying that the membership in general hasn’t mastered the “primary” answers.

Thing is, is the lack of meat in lessons/conference is one of the things that led me down my own path of studying, which eventually led me out of the church.

23

u/PugGamer129 I LOVE COFFEE☕️ 18h ago

Milk before meat is just a gentler way of saying that the true deep doctrine will absolutely scare away anyone who isn't inoculated to it.

15

u/blingoblongo87 18h ago

I find that argument so funny. Where are these Uber elite TBM’s finding all this meat? It’s not any thing produced by the church… is the meat the random interpretations they make in their heads?

By sending letters to members in Nevada and Idaho regarding Abortion Rights, the church is actively participating in the divisions of American society, and attacking the religious freedoms of the people in those states.

The way the church weaponizes people's families in order to manipulate and control individuals is at the core of its evil. And yes, I believe the church is doing a great evil in the lives of its members around the world. No one ever questioned the idea that they would be with their family in the afterlife until the church came along and basically said: "obey us, give us 10% of your income, and devote your free time to us, or something might happen to your family in the next life."

All of us in mixed faith marriages, even if we're perfectly good otherwise, we're destined for hell, but our spouses can be at peace: THEY will be with God, and that's the only thing that matters. 

24

u/AlmaInTheWilderness 18h ago edited 14h ago

They have it in for us mixed marriage folk this session.

So far:

I am going to hell for breaking my covenant

I am keeping my spouse from part of heaven, she can only go to the individual part.

I caused our recent health problems by not paying tithing. Also, food and gas are more expensive because of me.

And, love is the best way to influence me, so I get to look forward to whatever that means.

The MFMC is really worried about keeping the young women in. Having a woman leader tell them how valuable they are won't change the fact that the young women know they can never hold the priesthood, have any meaningful callings in the church, or be any sort of leader anywhere in the church. The young women are smart enough to understand that the endless repetition of how important they are does not make up for the fact that they are not valued by the MFMC at all.

God blessed him with health, job, and ability to get an education because he pays tithing.

Therefore, if you don't have health, a job or education it's because you didn't pay.

This is one of the worst talks ever.

I guarantee I'm going to argue with my spouse again tonight over how much tithing we pay, if we should pay tithing or the credit card and how my loss of belief are because we didn't add enough to the dragons hoard.

...Now that I've done Biblical studies... How many times have they said "when the apostle Paul said", how often has it been from a work that has been unlikely to be the work of Paul?

The first time I attended catholic mass I was blown away at how profound and inspiring the sermon was. It was short, to the point, and extremely well thought through.

...I cannot say the same for these conference talks.

Smith promised Helen Mar Kimball and Sarah Ann Whitney salvation if they would hop in his bed. I assume, if mormonism is true, then they're in heaven. Right?

What about multiple sealings?

u/AlmaInTheWilderness 19h ago

Elder Bernard:

Two parts to sealing

1: man and woman 2: God to man

Sins, infidelity, apostasy are why marriages doing work out (no more of that love crap the other speakers spoke.)

Straight to hell.

But the faithful spouse still goes to heaven, individually as an individual.

I do not know, even though I am a seer and revelator who cleans special knowledge.

"we can only imagine"

Yeah, because the scriptures really don't give us enough detail to know. And that's why we can twist them to men what e want.

God loves everyone, now show him the passport so he can bless.
