  slimboyfat joins the Mormons!

  2. experiences

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  I’ve said this before…

  …the LDS is the WTS’s nicer but weirder older cousin.

  in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.

  🤣.

  Another example of blind faith’s blowback.

  All they saw were university graduates “leaving the Truth”, and reacted.

  They never anticipated that less educated people would become the lowest income earners, and therefore, the lowest monetary contributors…

  …and probably assumed Armageddon would arrive before it ever became real problem, anyway (not unlike the CSA issue).

  Vanderhoven - “Is JW.org going broke?”

  Constant reductions in staff and product output, liquidation of assets to meet expenses, and regular court losses-slash-settlements with no end in sight are not typically considered signs of robust financial health.

  In fact, I suspect revenue agencies relaxed the rules for keeping one’s “charity” status during Covid, which was why the WTS so readily hit pause on the door-to-door work…

  …their tax-exemption wasn’t at risk if they told the rank-and-file to stay home on Saturday mornings, but it may have been if they hadn’t.

  LongHairGal - “…the fact that the JW religion has absolutely no social programs like the ones you mentioned is something that should be held against them, in my opinion…”

  I suspect it is.

  Frankly, I think it’d be weird if the IRS wasn’t keeping an eye on the Org on a regular basis.

  Ah, but as long as the Mercedes is a four-door sedan, it’s not a “showy display of one’s means of life”, huh? 😄

  Journeyman - “…They would save members of the congregations a lot of stress (being 'disciplined' for entirely understandable life choices)… They would save bodies of elders a lot of stress (being expected to 'enforce' unreasonable rules)…”

  What makes you think they give a shit about whether or not the rank-and-file are stressed?
