Yeah....I agree that despite odd underwear and polygamy the Mormons are a bit saner.....in terms of education and community betterment....socialization. Witnesses come across as weird by not participating in normal cultural or societal activities....and imho the higher education negativity predisposes the cult to outside observations of serious lack of enlightenment....which is not unfounded.

27Who is considered more bizarre?
by incognito2014 injws or mormons.
from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..

Should You Be Required To Wear A Coronavirus Mask?
by minimus insome towns require everyone going outside to wear one.

some cities require masks and have shut down parks and sports playing while others in a nearby town have no such restrictions.

I find it quite claustrophobic.....but out of respect for my fellow man I follow the guidelines from the medical and scientific intelligentsia. As long as the virus rages it is selfish and cavalier to ignore safety precautions.....dangerous as well.

I was privy to an irate phone witnessing conversation
by joe134cd ini happened to be privy to a phone witnessing conversation that my aged father was conducting, the person on the other end just climbed into him.
he got real nasty and my father ended up hanging up on him.
i could see that my father was distressed about it, but or course put it down to satan and persecution.

I abhor unsolicited phone calls and think they should all be illegal and perpetrators hit with big fines. It is in very poor taste and disturbing that an individual would think it appropriate to endeavor to contact strangers this way only to storm them with his or her personal religious opinions. If they are met with rude or angry responses it is their own fault for being so disrespectful.

Yup...I relate totally. To this day I find it an embarrassment that the family from which I sprung was involved in this messy cult...and that I was suckered in for so long. I have no interest whatsoever to have contact with any of the believers....and actually none ever reached out to me personally during my fade process and immediately after we did have some self-glorious elders knocking on the door but I did not answer.

274 pages of pharisaical rules, regulations and procedures. No resemblance to Jesus teachings of love, compassion and fair-mindedness.

Calm down...play games...study something new and different and think positive happy thoughts. The religion is based on negativity, fear and manipulation. It has to be difficult when that is all you are surrounded by...but if you immerse your brain in other things you can keep your sanity!! Good luck!!
