Ex-Mormon class of 2021. I was asked to take up a musket and instead decided to bury my weapons of war and venture out into the wilderness.
Mormons perpetually insist that what *should* have happened in any given scenario is what *must* have happened and any evidence to the contrary will be discarded as some variety of lie or manipulation.

Man proves that an amateur individual can successfully fabricate a set of golden plates…and thinks this helps the argument that Jospeh Smiths plates were authentic. Truly compelling stuff

Nothing more quickly dissolves the faithful Mormon critiques of exmomrons than spending time listening to ex members of other faiths endure the exact same useless talking points. “Where will you go?” Is not an inspired banger…it’s an worn out trope used by those who wish to control you

If you want some insight into the subconscious culture Mormonism has built around the role of women...just watch Wendy Nelson who has spent the last 7+ yrs being a pretty big deal (speaking assignments, interviews, etc), fade into obscurity now that her husband is not around to make her valuable.

Oaks: we all knew Nelson was being ridiculous and probably just trying to give himself a legacy by announcing an unending string of temple to be built for which there was no demand…however, he was the prophet so we just had to let him do it, but now he’s dead so we’re gonna stop immediately

Mormons are (correctly) mad that, in the wake of a horrific, unwarranted, & violent attack, many evangelicals are trying to suggest that this happened b/c Mormonism is a demonic/un-Christian faith that God is calling to repent (gross take). I just want to note that this take is a THEME in the BoM.

Here’s another fun one for 2 reasons:
1) so scholarly consensus on what is/isn’t “scripture” is reliable…do you hold that position about the long ending of mark/deutero Isaiah…or just in this case that lets you own trinitarians
2) the JST catching a stray here for not weeding this out is hilarious

I have noticed a recent trend in online Mormon apologetics where they are starting to cite apocryphal sources as support/evidence for Mormon claims...so the apocrypha is reliable now? Mormons accept those docs as true? Or just the minute sprinkles that support Mormonism and the rest is flawed?

Here’s an example…like so the Apocalypse of Abraham is a reliable source of truth now, we should read it as scripture and use it in gospel teaching…or are you just cherry picking this particular concept b/c it reinforces your position and the rest of it is still not reliable?

At a farewell today…I have never witnessed a farewell talk w/ more obvious and palpable real-time cognitive dissonance than his talk. It was like he was debating himself/taking himself into this whole thing live from the pulpit.
I would never…but man I’m tempted to just give him that extra nudge.

Guys I take it back, God lives and the on-going restoration is real. Mormonism is the true and living church. The heavens are open, and God is continually revealing further light and knowledge. Truly we are witnessing “the greatest manifestations of the Savior's power” as promised by Pres Nelson!

Red-pill Mormon thought leader and self styled logic lord/masterdebater…saying with all the smug certainty he can muster: “you have to accept my claims that have been proven false b/c you also believe stuff that has been proven false.”
Seems like some Grade A epistemology. Perfect, no notes

If podcasts existed 50-100 years ago I can GUARANTEE there would be clips like this of people saying things like “is interracial marriage entering into the Church, and is it a threat?”
Mormons are like living time capsules. 50 years behind the curve…every damn time. #prophetsseearoundcorners

Mormons insist that JS couldn't write the BoM b/c he was just a 14yo farm boy...however, he was actually 24yo when he started "translating" the book...which is only 3 years before he VERY eloquently hand-wrote his original 1st vision account, which is nearly stylometrically identical to the BoM

It’s wild that as humans we’ve developed language for when a seemingly impossible thing happens that we have no explanation for. We call it illusions or lies. Suggesting/allowing for the reality of a very natural explanation that we just don’t understand…and we still accept miracles as a real thing

Yeah! Dumb parents! It’s all their fault b/c they aren’t preparing their children for the temple by teaching them the details that they specifically promised to NEVER (under penalty of death or dismemberment) reveal to anyone outside of the temple. Totally not the a church problem just lazy parents!

John Taylor 1886 Revelation thoughts:
1) Title of the document on the LDS website is "Revelation about the new and everlasting covenant as written by John Taylor" which almost for sure is careful wording that allows an apologetic that this is not "as revealed by God" it is just "as written by JT"

Credit where credit is due. Mike Lee did what I did not think could be done. He made me, an atheist, hope and pray for an afterlife…so I can watch his dad Rex Lee beat the shit out of him in the next life for ruining their good name so he could be the deznat meme lord. Fuck that guy forever

Being exmormon is a trip. I carry guilt, shame & anxiety to do or even discuss doing any of Mormonism’s various “sins” around friends/family…b/c I know how Mormonism used to make me think about people who did that stuff and I don’t want to be treated or viewed that way.

The depressing reality of a post 2016 american politcal landscape is not that people (even very prominant people) more regularly spout off horrific shit like this...it is that people get to spout off shit like and there is somehow zero political price paid for it.

I am sure MAGA will dismiss this as they have the other dozens of former Trump insiders who are trying to make it clear there are problem by saying he is just butt-hurt for kicked off team MAGA so he can’t be trusted…no wonder Mormons love Trump, they have lifetimes of practice with this playbook.
Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."

If people REALLY believe:
1) God is real
2) He is the absolute source of correct morality
3) He provides direction to those who faithfully worship him
Why is “god told me to do it” not a legitimate legal defense or why are these people not at least arguing this should be a legally valid defense?

Oh sure, John Delhin has put out days worth of interviews w/ a stunningly large collection of scholars that all give accurate & well sourced explanations for why the church isn’t true…but JD is just pissed the church ex-d him so he’s just trying to manipulate people out of the church as revenge
Mormon Apologetics is the easiest game in town. Anytime someone finds out something bad about your church or JS and it makes them angry (or maybe even hate the church)…you can just say whatever they say about the church can be trusted because they clearly antagonistic to the church.

Oh sure, a large collection of early church leaders left the church because they knew it wasn’t what it claimed to be and almost immediately told everyone exactly why they knew that was the case…but cmon man you can’t trust those guys. They were so mad at the church they would make up anything
