Former bishopric member (10+ years), EQP, gospel doctrine instructor, BYU Public Relations hosting visiting GA’s, blah, blah, blah… current PIMO.
some of the data on this chart is inaccurate. I should have double checked this, I apologize. I believe this presents more accurate information. While the chart got some ages wrong, it is true that the early church presidents married young teenagers. missedinsunday.com/memes/polygamy…
To all the PIMOs sitting in church today, hearing things you don’t believe and managing for the sake of family, peace, or survival.. you’re not crazy, weak, or broken. You’re doing something incredibly hard and you’re not alone. #LDS #Mormon @Ch_JesusChrist
Looking through more of the books my dad left me and found this. Signed by apostle John A. Widtsoe. #LDS #Mormon
“The only evil angelic being that can actually plant words in your mind is Satan himself…” This isn’t revelation, Plumb. It’s textbook psychosis. If you’re not speaking metaphorically, please consider getting evaluated.
When you understand you don’t actually have your own thoughts, everything finally makes sense. YOU—the intelligence that stands at the precipice—dictate how thoughts flow. But the thoughts themselves are generated either by angelic voices or the biological functions of the…
Belief isn’t a preference you pick, it’s shaped by what you’re convinced is true. You can act as if, but you can’t will yourself to believe the Earth is flat if you know it’s round. So to my #LDS friends: can belief really be a choice, or not?
I’ve seen several tweets lately from people who left the #LDS Church and chose to come back. It’s made me think. Some return not because they were wrong to leave, but because they found something worth reclaiming. I think there’s room for respect in both directions.
To all the women out there: If you’re dating someone who thinks your body or cooking skills determine your worth… You also don’t have to stay with them.
To all the men out there: If you are dating someone who is overweight or doesn't know how to cook.. You do not have to stay with them.
Came across a great YouTube channel that approaches LDS talks and addresses in a more fair (but critical) manner. Definitely worth checking out! youtube.com/@mormonauditor…
I list my church callings and roles in my bio specifically to counter the tired narrative that those who leave never really believed or weren’t committed. My commitment was authentic and my testimony was sincere. Criticize that if you want but recognize the intention behind it.
I find it hilarious how you list out your callings in your bio as though somehow that adds weight to your PIMO position. Those are basic ahh ward callings lmao.
If it turned out the LDS Church wasn’t true, what would you do? #LDS #Mormon
Found this LDS missionary pamphlet. Notice “Whence Came the American Indian.” It boldly claims “many archaeologists agree.” Modern archaeology, DNA evidence, and even current LDS narratives fully disprove these claims. My how things change. #mormon #LDS
Fixed it: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only religion on the planet with members that are authorized to possess and use the Priesthood of Melchizedek… something they just made up.

Appealing to a spiritual confirmation is worthless because every religion claims the same spiritual witness as proof of their truth. If the method confirms conflicting beliefs, it confirms nothing at all.
“How do you know?” Lots of reasons, but above all God confirmed it to me.
