    If anyone needs it, https://quitmormon.com/ was a huge help for me. Lawyer will submit orders to expunge your record from the church for free if you complete a form and get it notarized. I stopped having missionaries and bishops leaving voicemails on my building callbox after that. Nothing like having mystery voicemails from your building box after moving multiple times and not stepping foot in a church for almost a decade.

    Fun fact: Immediately after arriving in Salt Lake, Brigham Young had two houses built. One for himself and another next door for all his wives. The church claims all that polygamy stuff is ancient history but you can walk through the house to this day as a tourist attraction.

      That’s a tough one.

      They are certainly transparent about their capitalist fetishes.

      Their entire young men’s program is essentially corporate culture training. They have cute little titles and steadily increasing ‘responsibilities’ beginning at age 12.

      Deacon, Teacher, Priest and finally Elder at the age of 18 or 19 if you haven’t hopped on the motorcycle of a leather daddy by then, just to get a ride out of town.

    Hey, this article is finding fault with my favorite frontier real-estate sex cult!

    Good!

    Fuck Mormons. I’m not cursed and Joseph Smith was a pedophilic racist genocider who’s only real accomplishment was convincing other stupid white ppl and uncle Tom’s that Jesus was white and American so they could feel better about colonialism

      I long for the day when I go to my brainwashed parents and throw all of this in their faces. All the lies and shilling and amoral fuckery.

      I lost my childhood to that cult. And it wrecked my adulthood for a full decade after.

        They wouldn’t stop at that I can guarantee you that. Frankly speaking the only proper response to them trying that would be to glass Provo and Salt lake city.

        I don’t think abusive theocracies have a right to exist. Letting people like that coalesce into a nation-state will just cause bigger problems down the road.
