How often did people confuse you with Mormons? Whenever I traveled outside of Utah, people always thought Mormons and JWs were the same thing.

Solidarity on being raised in an American cult :solidarity:

$100 billion investment portfolio and growing, thanks to that 10% tithe :ancap-good:

Thanks for the link, I’ve never seen this clip before. The information is accurate, except for the castration thing. Although I think they worded it as salaciously as possible to paint Mormons in the worst light. (nobody talks about “endless celestial sex” in church)

Turns out BYU is the @VolcelPolice’s alma mater

I loved hearing my coworkers talk about the White Horse prophecy and Mitt Romney

The Deseret Caliphate would be formed overnight.

Eugenics is bad but the idea of clipping Mormons’ ears to show they’ve been spayed/neutered like feral cats is making me laugh
