"Thinking of all of the Mormon related things that make me feel bad. I'm sure there are at least a hundred things I could put on my list of Mormon things that made me feel bad. * Home teaching aka ministering to my assigned friends * Attending priesthood meeting * Paying dues to a multi billion church * Revering Mormon church leaders * Wearing Mormon underwear * Janitorial duty on Saturday mornings * Cosplay for the dead * Wearing a white shirt and a tie * [--] AM high council meetings * Peddling copies of the book of Mormon door to door when it is below freezing * Attending my assigned ward at 2"

"How Jack Mormon were you I recently listened to an (click link) episode(https://youtube.com/watchv=-JKKHcjAgVQ&si=nkeRY-mf6BwK8uDu) of Mormon.ish titled How Mormon Were You Special New Year's Edition. I grew up in a Jack Mormon family so I didn't relate to a lot of them. For instance never called a coffee table a hot chocolate table mainly because my parents drank coffee and were not ashamed. On the other hand we did some things that looking back did not make much sense. Anyone else grow up in a Jack Mormon family * I grew up before the three hour block so Sunday School was in the morning"

"Shower thought - VidAngel is a lot like the Mormon church they screen out anything that might be objectional. VidAngel is an American streaming video company that allows the user to skip objectionable content based on user preferences regarding profanity nudity sexual situations and graphic violence. The company uses customizable filters to automatically cut out scenes or sounds which the viewer does not want to see or hear. I've watched movies on airlines and then watched them again later and realized that a lot was left out on the airline version. It sounds like VidAngel is a lot like that."

"Ep263: The Arizona Tucson Mission Disaster Just when I thought I couldn't hate the Mormon church any more than I already do I listened to this episode of Mormonish. I've always compared Mormon missionaries to cannon fodder and Tanner's experiences just go to prove how little regard the leaders of the Mormon church have for the missionaries. This isn't in the podcast but reading the links to Tanner's Medium essay I saw that Dallin Oaks was one of the visitors to Tanner's mission. So it seems to me that the top brass can't say that they weren't aware of the horrific conditions in that"

"When a TBM family member sends an exmo a picture of a temple what exactly are they trying to accomplish It's been too long since I was a TBM so if I had to guess it might be an attempt to heart sell me with some fond memories of when I was a regular temple attender along with any manufacturered spiritual experiences. Instead I find it triggering. Those memories have long been replaced with newer experiences of having to stand outside when my children and other loved ones are getting married and then having to paste a smile on my face for the obligatory extended family wedding photos with the"
