Veggies look delicious.<br /><br />Read some old documents on the internet years ago at the time LDS founded. Much argument, debated over whether the so-called history was simply that of a fictional story some writer had written. They could never definitively establish that and the writer had died as I recall. Reminded me of L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology and look how that “religion”:is followed by some.Joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155775053108104385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-38165489893803084962022-06-13T17:40:05.401-04:002022-06-13T17:40:05.401-04:00I agree.

Or, bigger cities. This is a huge problem because these kids have no knowledge of the outside world and no education to speak of. It's horrifyingly cruel. <br />I was having the same thoughts today about the second Trump hearing. And you know- I doubt that even with all of this evidence and testimony, the Trumpers are still going to believe the election was stolen and that Trump used all that money he collected from them for his legal defense.

I'm still a Mormon Stories Podcast addict. I can't help it. I think there are a lot of similarities to cults and being in abusive relationships. I'm sure that John Dehlin would agree. You should get in touch with them and see if they'd do an episode on that subject! Wouldn't you love to meet him and the others? I would. <br />Oh, I hope one of your hens goes broody. It's so much easier letting a hen raise peeps than doing it yourself. Can you get fertile eggs? I'm sure you can. I'm wishing it would break 70 degrees here, too, but from the other direction.

Some are far more culty than others, though. The ones that make it very hard to leave the religion, the ones that tear families apart, the ones that try and prevent members from doing research or learning things on their own about their beliefs. The LDS church ticks all those boxes for sure.

I'm sure it DOES happen but they have those kids under a super tight reign every second of the day and night. And if anyone reported someone for same sex attraction, much less activity, they'd be sent home so fast it would make their heads spin and their families would be dishonored forever. I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter's ex-husband. I assume he's an ex. That is very common- go on a mission, get married in the church, and you will be "cured." Of course no one ever is.

He had women all over the world - who were only interested in his money but the ugly fool thought he was irresistible. He dumped my sister and her 4 children (one legally blind) for a Russian garden tool he met online, who promptly took him to the cleaners and took all his money off him. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I know one bad apple and all that but just coincidentally he was a bible thumping LDS! Thankfully I haven't seen him in years, nor do I care to, but last I heard he was living in a shed!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-75936275978614046452022-06-12T23:14:16.393-04:002022-06-12T23:14:16.393-04:00AAAAAHHHH!

I am also watching Keep Sweet (and just finished Under the Banner of Heaven) and of course also read Elissa Wall's book and am halfway through a Mormon Stories episode about Teal Swan. Someday I will figure out how to write about why cults are so fascinating to me, and weirdly reassuring (maybe they help explain why I stayed in an abusive marriage for so long, even though I wasn't in a cult, but it feels familiar). <br /><br />My chickens have decided it is winter again. We have gotten almost 3 inches of rain in as many days, and it's been raining for almost two weeks straight and barely above 70 degrees. I'm hoping one goes broody so I can raise some new chicks and also hoping it might break 70 degrees so my poor tomatoes start growing instead of shivering in their little cages.Ramona Quimbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308882206677929003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-58020457371819954172022-06-12T22:11:28.293-04:002022-06-12T22:11:28.293-04:00Beautiful seaside pictures, I see the attraction t...Beautiful seaside pictures, I see the attraction there.

Pushing their barrows over the trail ruts to get to Utah the promised land , whatever, They became rather important in the Maniacal Mormon religion, I visited them when I was a girl. Weirdest damned set up ever, I came home real quick- I had questions. My Mom was polite but my Dad would not let them in the house. "Crazy" he said, "full of crap" he said. The relatives were nice, and smart but the disconnect was too much tilt! Plus if they did vote they voted wrong. Now they are in England- 2 temples worth! The religion seems to be growing there now.
