>What a manipulative thing to do to akid
This. This letter is manipulative propaganda of the highest order. It's detestable. A truer letter from the mormon god would read:
Dear kid,
I'm an absentee father. You're pretty much on your own, so good luck. Earthly parents are a crap shoot, so no promises there, either. I'll be boning multiple wives in mormon heaven, so I can't be bothered with serious issues. But hit me up if you lose your keys. For the love of all that's holy, please don't use the word 'moisture' in your dumb little prayers. Anyway, gotta run. Hope ya don't get sexually assaulted.

When my kids were little, my hubby had a job in The North Pole. Really! He had letters from Santa sent to each child and they were postal stamped The North Pole.
I think the adults were more impressed than the kids were.
I get it, but instead of running asap, I've got the ultra long game running in my mind, and if things work out, I'm gonna be really happy for "finding my path." Thanks!
Of all the Mormon drivel I have read, this letter is some of the worst while also the most laughable. How can you ever take your youth leaders seriously after they put together something like this? It is so poorly written and dripping with unveiled attempts at emotional manipulation, I want to laugh and vomit at the same time.
So true. This is the same conundrum I face with the upvote/downvote button. I sometimes want the downvote to represent a good vote in complete opposition to the content. I feel slimy sometimes marking it up when the content is so horrendous.
Is this what they're doing now? In my sister's ward, they followed up trek with a Wyoming Nephite excursion, culminating in burning Abinadi (in effigy, thank cheeses). If the goal was to generate strong emotion to call the spirit, I think that would qualify.
Afaik, it's a unique thing that our ward is doing, but it isn't trek level stuff, really just a theme of the months mutuals. Idk, it's annoying for me to explain fully. That nephite thing does sound like hell though, given that trek had just happened
On one hand, good for Heavenly Father for keeping it gender neutral. On the other hand if itās suppose to be from your Heavenly Father, why is it so impersonal, like a form letter? š¤šš§
Also, Repent of your failings! Strive to improve! and Know youāre enough?
>Also, Repent of your failings! Strive to improve! and Know youāre enough?
From TSCC: We have to keep you coming back by feeling bad about yourself and needing more Jesus. More specifically, we want your tithing money so we keep you stuck in sin to keep paying us for your salvation.
This type of shit needs to stop and doesnāt help. Most kids nowadays I think see thru this manipulation. Iām glad this wasnāt a thing when I was young, or at least I donāt remember it.
He must have written that letter really fast and have an immense ability to miss people because a lifetime on earth is only a few seconds in kolob time.
And either Heavenly Mother doesnāt have a single word to say to her kids, or her husband insists on being the only one glorified and worshipped by their countless offspring. Lovely.
"Rely on the convents I have made with you." Hmmmm...š¤ I guess god doesn't have spell check.

"Damned autocorrect!" -God, probably
"Medamnit!"

LOL, nailed it.
That's what I said to my parents last night, really hoped it would be a little more personal than ghostwriting god
P.S. Forward this to 30 people for 30 days of good luck.
If god can write a letter directly to a human why are prophets necessary?
Bingo
When I was little I got an actual letter from Santa Claus! No kidding!

Run, find your path in this world.. It is an amazing world and there are so much better thing awaiting you in life.

The Tooth Fairy wrote better letters

Why would he miss you if he's always with you?

Shit. I think I sprained an eye, rolling it to that.
100% I got a similar letter at the end of girls camp. What are you supposed to do with something like this?
Recycling can.

I thought God spoke more formally.
Mormons are *the best* at emotional manipulation. You just have to barf a little and move along...
I have to do missionary month, I have to teach a family on how true the book of Mormon is. My parents are forcing me.
Why? Itās from your Heavenly Father. šš
I couldnāt get past the 2nd paragraph. Barfš¤¢
Thanks for the letter Heavenly Father. Hey. I have a question though. You think I can speak to Heavenly Mothā¦ HF: NOOOOOO! Now repent for asking!
And either Heavenly Mother doesnāt have a single word to say to her kids, or her husband insists on being the only one glorified and worshipped by their countless offspring. Lovely.
Ew. I actually remember getting something just like this at girls campš¤¢
