Catholic Church, homilies Monday through Sunday, even on Saturday.

Hey now, we Mormons only go to church once a week. Everything else is auxiliary.

For me, it’s nice- I mean, if I hadn’t been raised in a religious household I don’t know where I would have received my core values- honesty, integrity, diligence, et al. I think it’s funny though that on my mission the nicest people to us were always these three groups: Jews, Moslems and Atheists. The meanest people by far were fundamentalist, born again, bible thumping “Christians.”

I have a lot of respect for atheists, and I’d always tell them hey, if you want to learn what we believe about God, without mocking our beliefs, we’d be glad to share it with you. I also loved hearing their core beliefs- whether science or philosophy or whatever.

Personally, as long as you have a set of core beliefs, I don’t care where you got them. I still encourage you to be open and try new things- I have myself. Not to say that I was atheist, but I learned and read and talked with them. Not to say you’re going to become Mormon, but if you genuinely have questions, ask a Mormon. Don’t ask an embittered ex-member or turn to the internets for your answer. That’d be like going to PETA for advice on fur coats: it just don’t make sense.

Sorry for the little rant, but I just wanted to fully express a few points.[/quote]

Got dang, I told you already I’m Catholic! On my door step even on T-Nation. Just kidding, want to come in and have a glass of water while I tell you about the Catholic Church for an hour?

Catholic Church, child molesting Monday through Sunday, twice on Saturday.

I’m gonna make my kids pray…that I don’t whoop their ass when they do something stupid!

I don’t know if anyone else here on T-Nation grew up in a religious family, but to me, it sucks. Everything they do is based on religion. I wished I could talk about things with my dad, like a girl I’m boning and how good the pussy is, but i can’t, because I’ll get a lecture on how sex is for marriage and how i have a spirit of fornication. I wish i could go out to a bar with my dad or grandad and have a beer, but, no alcohol.

Even when i was a teenager, my parents made a huge deal over me looking at porn. It was like “so i like to look at naked females…whats the problem”. Apparently they thought some “spirit of lust” was possesing me. If i started talking about magical lepercons they would think I was crazy, but saying a spirit of lust makes me look at porn is just as crazy.

Being dragged to church 4 and 5 times a week sucked as well. I missed many a cartoon on a Sunday morning because it was time to go to church. Anyone have similar experiences?[/quote]

I’m thinking the spirit of trolling is your biggest spiritual problem…

I would answer your question with care, but that would involve caring. I think you’re a troll. You’d be better at it if you didn’t make every post outlandishly exaggerated. Church 5x a week? OK, let’s say that’s true, I know some people who go 3x a week.

Then logic would assume that you now have friends, etc, that conform to the way you currently live. Why, then, would you want to talk to your father about your fornication? Gross and awkward come to mind. Go talk to your freaking friends about it.

Your entire post just seems like another thread to stir up crap.[/quote]

Although I agree that this is a troll thread the 5x a week thing is not that unbelievable. I was brought up in the freakish JW cult.

Tues - small gathering study at someones house 20ish ppl 1 hour
Thurs - 2 hour meet at Kingdom hall
Saturday - knocking on doors
Sunday 2 hour serive at Hall/sometimes more door knocking

Add to that an individual brain washing session 1 hour per week + a 1 hour family study per week.

It’s a wonder I turned out to be a fine upstanding, well adjusted atheist. Excuse me I just noticed some typos - my apologies I am going to go and self harm.

OP,

Save up, move out. Stop going to Church. Email your dad about how good the pussy you are hitting is. Problem Solved.

Edit: a black guy into black women?? I didn’t know those existed I thought they were mythical creatures like leprechauns and unicorns.

Your analogy is all wrong. Asking an ex-member is not like asking someone from PETA about fur coats. It would be like asking an animal who had been skinned and turned into a fur coat how they feel about the fur coat industry. Ex-members have seen it from the inside and outside they are a great resource. It’s your cult leaders who don’t want you talking to them.

Just like you said talking to a Mormon won’t turn you into a Mormon talking to an ex member shouldn’t stop someone making their own rational decision but it will give them more info to make a decision.

I don’t care what amount of church you attend or not, there is no teenage boy talking to his dad about getting pussy and/or porn. Kinda creepy.

You’re a pussy.

I grew up in a Haredi Orthodox Jewish family. I had a choice of clothes: black or black, or, on special days, black.

No TV. Yeshiva all-boys school, shul 7 days a week. Sabbath? Shul all day Sabbath. Cold food. I lived.

Now go put on your big boy panties.
