I have studied various Christian religions and have liked the teachings of the Mormons (They currently prefer to be called “members of the restored church of Jesus christ”).

I generally try to abide by 3 Ne 11:29-30. I think my favorite scripture is 1 Ne 11:17 as it answers substantially all questions with faith and humility until you have time to properly study it out.

I am prone to talk about what I believe in a manner that I think gives respect all around like the epicurian paradox, the nicene creed, polygamy and judaism, etc.

I feel like I have a few strengths that I would love to share with those curious: my method to pray in a two-way conversation, my affinity for administration, and the “hiding in plain sight” cheats to be in control during persecution, dreams, and restrictive behavioral loops.

    If a transaction occurs for no consideration e.g. a gift, then there is always a chance for a progenitor to sue and claim rights as the transaction “never happened”. This happens when a company acquires another and tries to strip benefits, so the company fires and rehires all employees so that is the consideration. I have personally reviewed hundreds of land sales for 10$ in Texas so there is legally binding consideration exchanged. Functionally it is a legally bulletproof gift.



  • As a native speaker, I will try to answer without being pedantic with a dictionary: to be passive aggressive is to answer with an unusual assumption and to act like the other party should have known all along.

    E.g. if you want someone to leave and it is snowing, say “I just cleaned off the snow from your car so you can make it home safe. When do you plan on leaving?” This places an expectation and social pressure to accept the gift of cleaning the snow by leaving soon.

    E.g. if you want to leave work at 5pm daily and your boss knows this and adds a frivolous mandatory meeting to the office calendar. You can take notes in the meeting then at the end send the email with notes to the recipients and say “this meeting could have been an email with no knowledge lost”. This implies that your boss did a disservice by wasting everyone’s time when they could have just used a secretary and an email and let you keep to your informal time to leave boundaries.

    Good luck figuring out and understanding the actual definition!!!





  • I’m curious. The temple has 4 rituals

    1. baptism on behalf of your ancestral dead
    2. ritual washing
    3. promising 5 commandments that are above a regular baptisms promises to gain access to pass through to God’s dwelling with power.
    4. marriage for all eternity.

    Mormons dance around temple and associated rituals being sacred, not secret, so the command to not cast pearls before swine applies; but certain promises are not to share signals that show you made the extra promises, so just to be sure, mormons treat it all temple info as secret unless they actually thought about the words of the rituals.

    I have been able to talk to Mormons outside of temples in pretty deep detail because I was respectful (not mocking).

    Please be specific, what part seems to pantomime suicide? I’m thinking baptism on behalf of ancestors?
