"Back in 1826, a New York court convicted 21 year old Joseph Smith for being a disorderly person and con artist who tricked folks out of their money by claiming to find lost treasures with his magic seer stones…

And, less than a year later, he founded Mormonism by discovering some gold tablets that only he could read with his magic seer stones…

In a hat…"

Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.

Mormon found

[hikarisakurariver]

The LDS have articles 13 of faith one of which states that 'we believe in been subject to rulers' or in other words following the law of the land. The church had been trying to join the USA for a long time to in part stop the constant hounding and persecution of it's people, prove they were still loyal Americans and so they wouldn't just be invaded and driven out of their settlements again and to regain the rights they lost by converting to a faith the goverment officials thought was a threat for some reason. (Church headquarters are in Utah because going West was the only way to stop the constant mobs, that were grievously injuring their people if they were lucky, burning their houses and killing men women and children alike- no one wanted that land it and it was believed to be impossible to grow anything there) From the Church's pov the people thought that this was some sort of test and that God would allow them to prevail. Instead the Prophet revealed that while the marriages conducted will still stand and polygamy isn't wrong. It will no longer be practiced until after the second coming and in the eternities, until then they are to follow the rules of the governing body of the land.

I think it’s funny how Mormon God was like “look polygamy is super important and I am telling you my followers to practice it even in the face of persecution” and then 40 years later Congress said Utah wouldn’t be given statehood as long as the LDS practiced polygamy and Mormon God was like “Ok tell everyone I changed my mind”

Hits on East German Stasi

The Stasi, are an industrial commune, based on the involuntary and illicit commitment of the family members of those in industry or the military, having featured a loss of life to be paid to community by pederasty's model of a man or woman or child or elder or pet, however under pharmaceutical toxins appropriate for writing model analysis by doctors.

Run out of East Berlin, as an intelligence service based on invasions of privacy and medical freedom, they are a staunchly Christian union, Protestant-Jewish, not the developments far prior to the support of society by the hunt of Christ; the soldier or cop or actor, however homosexual, the removal of a man's right to breed through gay sex for mimicry, or the woman's development into her own self independent of dramatic posture.

Aside from the NSA HUMINT developments for the freedom of records (1960s and 1970s), phone lines (1980s and 1990s), and router signals (2000s and 2010s), with the final nationalization of ISPs envisioned under Reagan, let's understand my hits against the East German Mob.

Each of these, is an industrial interests activist, against unions and marijuana use, serving and servitoring their interests in the Church of Satan's demibreed, the Church of Latterday Saints.

*raised hand* Why you don't drink coffee etc?

Awww haha!

Oh but okay so, it’s part of a thing we like to call “The Word of Wisdom”. Basically, it’s a guide to a healthier life as given us by the Lord via the Prophet.

The reasons behind it is simply for our health. You may have heard the whole “Mormons can’t have caffeine” thing but I mean, some of us still drink sodas. And we LOVE chocolate haha. So it’s not just that. The gist of it is that these substances, in some way, hinder your rational thought or artificially stimulate you, which can be harmful.

Alcohol also takes away your freedom to make rational choices, and in our religion free agency is super important to God’s Plan. Illegal drugs (or any drugs used to get high) also have this effect on the mind (plus I mean those are illegal so pfft).

And overall, these things can be addictive.

Like, I’m not knocking folks who do drink wine or coffee or whatever. And honestly, I myself eat junk food I prolly shouldn’t lol and I’m currently trying to cut sodas to a minimum. But these are the top things God has told us to be wary of is all. And I mean, it’s no big deal. We usually don’t even tell people at functions we aren’t supposed to drink tea or coffee we just ask for water or something instead :’) it’s politer that way lol. Because it’s not meant to make anyone else feel weird or dirty for partaking in something like coffee or tea when we don’t, it’s just one of the ways we as Mormons show our devotion to God and our religion. :’)

Here’s a cute member’s blog article about it, and a short nonmember article about it for further reading if you’d like!

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James 1:26-27

All the "religion" in the world doesn't matter if we're not mourning with those that mourn and comforting those that stand in need of comfort

My cousin gave a talk in church at easter time when we were like 9 years old and a story in it has always stuck with me. Not Catholic, but always down to talk about Jesus Christ.

There was a class of children who were given empty plastic eggs for a homework assignment. Their goal was to find something to that represented spring for them and put it in the egg, then share it with the class. There was one boy, James, who was quiet and a bit different from the others, (I don’t remember the words used, but the story was from the teacher’s perspective and the kid was either autistic or downs), and the teacher was worried the kid wouldn’t understand the assignment. She explained it again before he went home, and he confirmed he understood.

When the assignment was due, the children sat in a circle and shared what they had brought, opening their eggs with glee. Some kids had brought flowers and green grass, others brought candy to represent holiday traditions, and some had put pictures or stickers of baby animals. They each took turns explaining why their item meant spring.

Then it was James’s turn, and when he opened his egg, there was nothing inside. Not wanting to embarrass James, who clearly hadn’t understood the assignment, she began to encourage the next child to share her egg.

“But teacher, it’s my turn,” James protested. 

“Alright James,” the teacher said, “Can you tell us what you brought today?”

“The egg is empty,” James said, looking at her like she was silly, “I didn’t bring anything, because that’s what easter means. When you expect something to be there, it’s not. Just like Christ wasn’t in the tomb. That’s why we have easter. Even when we die, we get to live again, just like plants died in winter and lived again in spring, because it was empty.”

And so the teacher was the one to learn the most that day.

I looked up the zine account and fell down a rabbit hole and... Jesus Christ and the Latterday Saints... I saw the receipts about the racism, Islamophobia, etc. and they were certainly not what I expected. And there were some tweets responding to the receipts with "mm no, that's a lie" and then not providing proof themselves. What hurt the most was seeing a fellow bipoc defend the same people who continue to associate with the biggest racist of them all. Idk, no amount of love for a ship would make me forget about all the negative qualities in someone.

What gets me is the blocking situation. Barely any followers, and yet 4000+ people blocked for reasons as simple as "because they weren't clerith" and them cleaning it up by saying "we were only talking about trolls" but listed the former as its own reason. People even said they were blocked without even talking to the mods. And when others were saying "this is unprofessional. aren't you trying to sell your zine?" their responses were a collective "were you even trying to buy the zine?"

I didn't even know that str*y *rrows was doxxing that person on this very platform.

I'm probably younger than a lot of them, and I'm sure as hell younger than the entire ship war, so my only question is, "What on earth has them so pressed that they're willing to be bigots, liars, AND doxxers?"

Yeah, the cult is ugly, which is why we call them the cult cause they're not shippers like the other ones. They don't even like Aerith and just wanna bang Cloud using Aerith as a proxy.

I haven't been in the fandom for a whole year yet, but I've seen some nasty shit from queen dumdum and that's why I tell people to watch out for her. Don't give out your personal info and don't believe any of her shit.

That zine will never exist. She'll take money and info and use it against people cause that's her entire thing. She's a liar and manipulative af.

She never even played FF7 in any capacity and just wants to be right and get attention and money from sheeple following her insanity. I really can't see why she's here cause she hates the story and every character, including Cloud because the way they paint his character is sickening and no actual fan of him would ever say that about him. I didn't appreciate him in AC, but I sure af wouldn't suggest he's the way they say. Their Cloud is a pos who deserves to die alone. Canon Cloud is actually a sweetheart with a ton of issues just trying his best. She weaponises all the characters of it suits her needs, then plays victim when people say she's ruining the story.

Seriously, it's best to just call her embarrassing and leave her and her dumbasses to it.

Anyway, please understand that when you say “Mormons” you’re talking about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints aka the LDS church. This is NOT the same church that makes women dress like pioneers and marries off 13 yr olds to 60 yr old men, you’re thinking of the splinter group the FLDS- the Fundamentalist Latterday Saints. Also not to be confused with the other splinter group the RLDS- the Reformed Latterday Saints. The LDS church has nothing to do with the FLDS and the RLDS churches except for some shared doctrine.

If you’re gonna shit on Mormons at least know what the fuck you’re talking about because calling the very mild and normal Christian religion I was raised in a “cult” is not a good look. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- if the LDS church is a cult then so are the Catholics and the Muslims. I’m an atheist so I am all for critical thinking when it comes to talking about religion but don’t paint an entire Protestant sect as evil simply because you believe some smear campaigns you read online. I can tell you from first hand experience that Mormonism isn’t weirder or more “out there” than any other religion. Is it sexist and racist? Yeah a bit. Should we criticize that? Yeah we should. But don’t get it twisted either- Mormons are some of the most honest and accepting of the mainstream Christian religions, and all I ever hear is queerios bitching about how ‘uwu they don’t like gays’ like motherfucker show me a mainstream Christian religion that does!! I found that most Mormons are very tolerant of gay people, and I’ve never seen any conversion therapy stuff come from them. Granted I didn’t grow up in Utah so it might be different out there but my experiences with the LDS church were mostly positive- I only left because of atheism and feminism and learning about the trap of religion as a whole.

[queer-spirituality]

Queer Hindus are so rad. Queer Sikhs are so spectacular. Queer Muslims are magnificent. Queer Jews are incredible. Queer Latterday Saints are amazing. Queer Christians are wonderful. Queer Pagans are fantastic. Queer religious folk are so strong and incredible. I love them and so does God.

So, about a week ago my two roommates came home to find a small picture of Jesus Christ tapped to our door, with info for how to contact the Church of Latterday Saints on the back. We found out today that it was put there the group of Mormon boys who live in the apartment down the hall, after they found out we were all wlw.

But for like a week, we had no idea who did it and why tf we were singled out. So at one point we’re were all drinking and doing home work (awesome combo, I know) and debating on who put it there. And I, jackass that I am, jokingly said ‘~maybe it was Christ himself~’.

To which my roommate give a loud, dramatic gasp, pointed at the picture of Jesus (which we hung on the fridge) and drunkenly shouted “JESUS!! YOU ARE THE T R U E JUDAS!!!” And I. Fucking. Died.

Because that shit’s way funnier than homophobic Mormons.
