This is about the US Securities and Exchange Commission suing the church. Any football stuff is purely coincidental since I'm clueless on that front lol.

His name was Zelph. The curse was taken from him, or at least in part; one of his thigh bones was broken, by a stone flung from a sling while in battle years before his death.

In case the title doesn't make sense: it's a mix of "carefully-worded denial" (from the gospel topics essays) and "word salad" (a more accurate description).
Oh yeah, and there's stuff like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/1jt35bx/perhaps_the_worst_story_ive_ever_heard_at_a/
As an active Mormon, you are typically expected to:
- Have a "good, better, best" mindset. Sure, what you're doing could be good, but is it the best thing to spend time on? Only things that involve the church are the best use of your time.
- Read scriptures every day.
- Attend several hours of mind-numbing meetings every Sunday. In the case of bishops, this is almost the entire day.
- Attend weekly activities with other people in the church.
- Avoid doing most "worldly" things on Sunday, effectively reducing the weekend to one day.
- Go to the temple as often as you can, where you sit through boring ceremonies that take a minimum of a couple hours out of your day.
- Research family history so you can do more boring temple ceremonies.
- "Hold a calling," which is volunteer work for the church that can range from a few hours a month to a part-time (unpaid) job.
- "Minister" to someone, which means you're an assigned friend that tries to keep the other person spiritually healthy.
- Clean the church building on random Saturdays.
- Watch 10 hours of General Conference every 6 months.
- Spend 18-24 consecutive months as a full-time missionary. No, I don't mean 40 hours per week. I mean all day every day. It completely consumes your life during that time.
- Even when that's over, you're still expected to seek out opportunities to bring people into the church. This makes interactions with non-members a lot more exhausting and inauthentic than they should be.
- Get married ASAP and have lots of kids.
I'm sure there's more I forgot to include, but I think these posters get the vibe across:
When you're in:
We never said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it! 🥰 🥰 🥰
When you're out:
Your life would be much easier if you swallowed your pride and came back to church.
Turns out it's happening again. This error popped up in the corner:
{"data":{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out"},"state":"success"}
It works for me now too. If you still want any logs I'll be happy to send them
Oh woops, I missed that https://fhf-lemmyworld.instatus.com/ says "LW Backend Resources experiencing major outage." It could be that, although it also says the image hosting backend has 100% uptime.
That clothing display is haunting.
Surely next time it will be a drag queen. Surely.
Sorry that I'm flooding this community with memes lol
10/10 teasing lol. I think the ex-Muslim guy would be happy to know his story played even a small part in possibly helping someone be more open-minded.
This looks awesome! I hope I'll have something to contribute at one point or another.

At least this guy is using modern revelation tech to make up court cases. The rock in a hat method hasn't gotten security updates in a long time and is super vulnerable to Satanic suggestions.
