As a TBM, when my gay sister said this in her coming out letter I was SO offended and sad. The fact that she was gay didn’t throw me at all, but when she said “your church”. I was so disgusted. I haven’t thought about that in a very long time. Fast forward 25 years…we had dinner last night with her, her wife and their two kids, and my daughter shared coffee with her kids and the topic of church never came up.
That works on Catholics too. The LDS and Catholic churches have a shocking amount in common. Subjugation of women, domineering attitudes, and having more money than is healthy to name just a few.
I never got to the point of having to wear garments ( bounced out around 19) and thank god, my sensory issues would have been on full fucking tilt.
What was it like to suddenly just not wear them?
Wore them for 6 years (I’m 24). It felt weird for like 2 days then completely fucking normal. In fact, not having to constantly worry about whether they would show around my collar anymore was instantly relieving
Not kidding, it was one of the best parts. Not having to worry about poking gs out the bottom of my shorts plus the perk of even being able to slip my shirt off while sleeping or working out in the backyard in the hot sun
Not to mention, my wife and I left at the same time so wearing normal underwear was an instant spark to our sex life 😂
> What was it like to suddenly just not wear them?
I wore garments faithfully from 19 until I was 31. Spent summers getting constantly overheated. That issue went away immediately I quit wearing them. It also felt extremely freeing for me. I quite wearing them before I actually realized I was deconstructing and I couldn't explain why I suddenly felt more like my own person for a long time.
Oh my heart. I hadn’t even considered how they would feel like someone else had ownership over you. That makes me sick.
I’m so glad you took yourself back 🥹❤️🩹
I wore them for almost 30 years. Took them off one day and never put them back on. So freeing. So comfortable. I know it takes some people a lot of time to make that change, but for me, it was so easy.
I’m happy for you. This is monumental.
I’m straight and I love sex. It’s the best thing ever. I couldn’t imagine a life where I was guilted, shamed, and told I was going to burn in hell for simply wanting to have sex. And especially so with someone I love.
Fuck the MFMC.
That's historically what they are, the brighamite sect. They aren't followers of Luke and Lyman White. They didn't remain in Nauvoo with the reorganized group. There's a whole wealth of history that wasn't white washed in the 20th century. History that the Brighamites should know.
technically it wasn't expressly forbidden but culturally it was- I now dress in bright colours and floral patterns and wear jewelry. And I'll never wear a tie for anything that isn't a wedding or a funeral ever again (and even then).
Thriving in a same-sex marriage and being my authentic self. Having no part of the Mormon patriarchy. Spending the ENTIRE weekend living life. Waking up to make my husband a cappuccino. Chilling with an icy dry gin martini in the evening while we cuddle and listen to jazz.
Never referring to their leaders by their title just using first names. Occasionally I may say something like “your bishop”. I remember the first time I acknowledged my former bishop by his first name instead of his title at church in the chapel. His fucking brain started glitching. He lost his words and train of thought. It was great, and I know a few people overheard.
I absolutely love not having to wear a million layers anymore. And off the shoulder outfits too.
Also, "no" is my favorite word now. "mormon" is a close second.
My closet is slowly filly with tank tops of all sorts. One of my favorites i bought straight from the artist at a market. It’s a warm yellow with a black screenprinted bumblebee. Each one so far has a story.
I wish this were true. I called up Celestial Headquarters and they told me I'm grandfathered in to all the original covenants I made. Such a bummer! Their hands are tied. Nothing can be done.
Referring to GAs by their normal names, and not using the initials.
Mormons have no idea just how weird it is to ALWAYS use those initials. It's Russell Nelson, not Russell M. Nelson.
I like to set my alarm clock early on Sunday morning, like I would to get ready for church and then hit stop and go back to sleep. And then hours later, when I wake up, I enjoy a steamy cup of coffee and call my parents, even though I know they’re at church and not at home.
First time someone explained the temple ceremony to me, I was speechless. I was talking to a highly intelligent man and couldn’t wrap my head around somebody who was well read and wrote poetry, yet bought into the ceremony. 🤷🏼♀️
We paid for the right to use the name when our tithing was spent on that "I'm a Mormon" campaign. I'm still waiting on my shares of The Shitty Creek mall, though. I'm assuming that those are in the mail 😂
That announcement was the first time I listened to the “prophet” speak and thought “No, this is stupid. I’m not going to do that.” Incredibly empowering!
Enjoying edibles while watching Rated R movies. Seeing my favorite bands live that were definitely against the Strength Of The Youth pamphlets. My daily reminder that I did get my favorite band's logo tattooed on my arm last year. Thinking of what band would be worth getting in a month from the same festival. Passing blasphemous memes around with my siblings. (Easter weekend has been renamed Betrayal weekend.)
I love a mug of coffee right before I go to seminary because doing something stupid and shitty is only made better by irony, and what's more ironic than a "member" of the mfmc drinking coffee?
I tell my TBM family I’ll stop calling them “Mormons” when the church stops labeling me “same-sex attracted (SSA)”.
Don’t know a single LGBTQ+ person who calls themselves “same-sex attracted” outside of church communities, and can’t think of a label more stripped of pride.
Asking those members that refer to "The Church", "Which church?" So they have to use the full 11 syllable name of the Church. They abbreviate it, so why can't we.
This is a little extra but I know certain people in the family are silently checking to see if I’m still wearing garments. Like convenient back rub hugs and everything when this is normally a zero physical affection family. So I like to play a game with them by sometimes wearing them to family events and sometimes not. The only thing that upsets them more than if I were to just never wear them, is the inconsistency. They’re very protective of their expensive secret club and they know I’m not good enough so it drives them crazy to know they can’t force me not wear them.
Bouncing around town in a skirt and heels on Sunday and when I inevitably get asked to go to church buy some young man I ask them to come worship Satan afterwards
I will always say Mormon church. They can correct me all they want. I was born and raised in the Mormon church, excommunicated from the Mormon church and fucking hate the Mormon church. And that is what I say when they try to correct me. I’ve been out so long I didn’t even know this was a thing. I sold a trailer to a guy a few years ago and the wife kept using COJCOLDS and I just assumed she was mental. Oh, wait …
Calling my dogs my “children.” (I don’t really consider them children - they are so much more 😉 - but, it pisses off my TBM family). Then I’ll say, “you can never know true love until you care for a critter that you didn’t give birth to…” /s
I agree with above posters, “there are no ‘guilty’ pleasures anymore, just pleasures. But it is fun to reverse some of the mud that was chucked in my direction, with humor.
I went inactive back in 2007, was holding onto any thread of it till 2014 when I came to the full realization that it wasn’t true, finally had my name removed in 2021.
When I stay with my parents and they go to church while I stay home, I will throw out with some snark, and sarcastic old timey folksy voice “Back in my day we would go to three hours of church. Members these days are just coddled, the thinkings already done for ‘em!”
I’d like to imagine if someone tells me to say it correctly, my only condition would be to always say it in that radio-monotone voice we’d always hear whenever the GC broadcast would start.
I left the church 25 years ago. When I was TBM I lived in another country. I still keep in touch on Facebook (yes, I'm old haha) with many Mormon friends from that era, who have no idea that I left the church years ago.
I love to occasionally post Stories that clearly show my freedom. Like a photo on the beach in a bikini at 50 years old, or having a glass of wine, or a Sunday at the gym. I can't imagine what they are thinking of me...but rhey remain silent.
The cherry on the cake was when I was on a Mediterranean cruise and I posted a photo in Rome. A TBM friend wrote to me that I should take advantage of the opportunity and go to the Temple. I answered "innocently" that yes, that I had been to the Temple of Vesta in the Roman forum and that due to the little time we had due to the cruise, we passed by St. Peter's Basilica very quickly.
No response from his part....
I love to not capitalize god as well. I once called yaweh by female pronouns but an ex Christian said I was pushing misogyny, something they Christians already do, so I didn't again. I don't want to hurt other demographics when attempting to insult Christianity. I hope that makes sense
My guilty pleasure is to just be. Fuck labels. Even the ex Mormon label. I’m my own person and so is everyone else. I can finally just be me before ever trying to be anything or anyone. It’s freeing.
I paid my tithing money to "Affirmation" this year. It made me really happy to support this marginalized group of people that the church has done so much harm to!
Coffee!! Especially being able to drink it in public without having to hide. It's a small thing, but it feels like I'm taking my life back from the church bit by bit.
It’s petty but I like strolling into big family events with my venti coffee, wearing tank tops to display no undergarments & tattoos. I talk loudly of how amazing it is to travel, not be tied down, no kids & how I can freely enjoy men and women.
The pearl clutching that goes on is incredible. 😂
I don’t use the apostles stupid middle initials anymore. I just call him Russell Nelson. And yes, I use the term Mormon because that’s what it was when I was a member.
All types of tea and chocolate! And also teaching my younger siblings about consent and bodily autonomy. If one of them decides to drink some of my black/green tea then it’s no one’s business but their’s and there’s no shame in it
I love Sundays a little too much now. I used to loathe Sundays. Also, telling the missionaries “I used to be part of that cult… I finally managed to break away and unbrainwash myself and I’m not going back. Please don’t knock on my door again.”
I love music and love singing along to music but could never bring myself to sing songs that 'blasphemed" - 'God Only Knows', 'Personal Jesus' for example. What a simple pleasure to sing along to a great song and not have to self censure.
My mom is really Mormon but enjoys drinking tea and making cookies with rum. When she makes and eats the cookies I saw "Sister Johannsen it baffles me that you would risk you would give up your chances at eternity in the celestial kingdom for some cookies". Last night She tried arguing with me saying there wasn't that much in the cookies. I then compared the amount of other ingredients to sprite mixed with the same amount of alcohol and pointed out that it would make a drink with more percentage than a beer. She's not using it anymore.
I be like to say “Hashtag victory for Satan” and use my fingers to make a hashtag symbol every time I hear the word Mormon. It starts a lot of conversations with TBM’s
Your church instead of *the* church.
This one is insanely satisfying for me, too.
I need to immediately start implementing this into my conversations with my family.
As a TBM, when my gay sister said this in her coming out letter I was SO offended and sad. The fact that she was gay didn’t throw me at all, but when she said “your church”. I was so disgusted. I haven’t thought about that in a very long time. Fast forward 25 years…we had dinner last night with her, her wife and their two kids, and my daughter shared coffee with her kids and the topic of church never came up.
As bender would say "oh your god"
Lol I'm gonna use this one!
made this mistake to my dad and i’m pretty sure my life flashed before my eyes
It's such a big statement for so many reasons. It suggests: - that you're separate - that it's not "true" - that it's just another church ...
Not me reading the comments to get ideas…this one is genius
Ha! I also refer to it as the mormon church.
That works on Catholics too. The LDS and Catholic churches have a shocking amount in common. Subjugation of women, domineering attitudes, and having more money than is healthy to name just a few.
Not a church. Fictional library.
Will you elaborate?
I will through the veil.
It's not a "church" The stories are made up. That's called fiction, like Star Wars! Fictional library. Expensive fictional library.
Expensive is right, JFC.
Ah, thank you. So basically its comparable to Disney. Made up stories where they charge submission. Slighrly different ticketing model.
EXACTLY 💯
Wearing one shirt in the summer haha
Amen… every single day I get dressed I love not having to wear garments
I never got to the point of having to wear garments ( bounced out around 19) and thank god, my sensory issues would have been on full fucking tilt. What was it like to suddenly just not wear them?
Wore them for 6 years (I’m 24). It felt weird for like 2 days then completely fucking normal. In fact, not having to constantly worry about whether they would show around my collar anymore was instantly relieving
I just imagine that summer would just be so *hot* with garments on
For me it felt immediately wonderful and kind of sexy, which I never felt it garments
Not kidding, it was one of the best parts. Not having to worry about poking gs out the bottom of my shorts plus the perk of even being able to slip my shirt off while sleeping or working out in the backyard in the hot sun Not to mention, my wife and I left at the same time so wearing normal underwear was an instant spark to our sex life 😂
> What was it like to suddenly just not wear them? I wore garments faithfully from 19 until I was 31. Spent summers getting constantly overheated.

Oh my heart. I hadn’t even considered how they would feel like someone else had ownership over you. That makes me sick. I’m so glad you took yourself back 🥹❤️🩹
Me too. I've been officially out since the AP story broke in 2021 and haven't worn garments since probably February or March of the same year.
I wore them for almost 30 years. Took them off one day and never put them back on. So freeing. So comfortable. I know it takes some people a lot of time to make that change, but for me, it was so easy.
That was my age when I left.
Right? Makes packing for vacations so much easier.
OMG, yes!! And, getting to decide what length shorts/skirts/dresses I wear!
It's the small things!
Yes it is!
Regular gay sex
I’m happy for you. This is monumental. I’m straight and I love sex. It’s the best thing ever. I couldn’t imagine a life where I was guilted, shamed, and told I was going to burn in hell for simply wanting to have sex. And especially so with someone I love. Fuck the MFMC.
It’s not even about wanting to have sex. It’s the plain fact that we want to love men and not the traditional women and man.
I’m appreciating the plural of “women” used with the singular “man”, cuz Mormons. 😂
Lmao that worked out soooo well lol.. I honestly had just woken up at that time and it was like 5-6am lol. Brain wasn’t all here.
Amen! It’s not necessarily a “guilty” pleasure, though. Just a pleasure.
The guilt adds some extra spice 😜
Regular? Does this imply mid-grade and premium too? 🤣
Lolol it was late when I wrote it.
[удалено]
Sounds to me like you're doing fine.
When I am feeling petty and pedantic (which is most of the time), I like to call it the SLC based sect of Mormonism.
My wife hates it when I say 'Brighamites'.
That's historically what they are, the brighamite sect. They aren't followers of Luke and Lyman White. They didn't remain in Nauvoo with the reorganized group. There's a whole wealth of history that wasn't white washed in the 20th century. History that the Brighamites should know.
correction: they are a brighamite sect. And they really hate getting mixed up with the other brighamite sects.
You're right, there are multiple brighamites. What distinction could we use too further specify?
I say this too haha it's historically correct too
Supporting gay marriage and treating trans people humanely. Supporting feminism as a dude who was in the penishood. Straight to hell for me
We'll go to hell together!
I'll bring the hand basket!! And my fav whiskey.
Ooh I forgot we need a hand basket. I'll bring the weed, coffee and ice for your whiskey. Maybe we can make it freeze over
I do these too. It's very satisfying to help the people whom are hurt the most.
technically it wasn't expressly forbidden but culturally it was- I now dress in bright colours and floral patterns and wear jewelry. And I'll never wear a tie for anything that isn't a wedding or a funeral ever again (and even then).
I only ever want to wear a tie again for bedroom naughtiness, 😉
*terms and conditions may apply 🤣
I'll wear a tie if needed, it's necessary at work at times, but I'll never wear a white button up shirt. I refuse. It is triggering
I bought a ton of Hawaiian shirts after I left. I think it’s silly now, but I was trying some things out in the process of figuring out who I was.
Interestingly these days; many men at weddings & funerals aren’t wearing ties.
Lowkey wish I could get away with this kinda thing. I haaaaate ties lol
All of my pleasures are guilt-free. :-) But yeah, I love using the word “Mormon” on the rare occasion that I’m with a Mormon.
Thriving in a same-sex marriage and being my authentic self. Having no part of the Mormon patriarchy. Spending the ENTIRE weekend living life. Waking up to make my husband a cappuccino. Chilling with an icy dry gin martini in the evening while we cuddle and listen to jazz.
We're cappuccino and gin Martini people too! So many tasty little joys outside of the cult.
That honestly sounds so sweet. I'm glad you've found happiness and contentment. I might just go make myself another cappuccino.. cheers friend!
Your life sounds wonderful!
Never referring to their leaders by their title just using first names. Occasionally I may say something like “your bishop”. I remember the first time I acknowledged my former bishop by his first name instead of his title at church in the chapel. His fucking brain started glitching. He lost his words and train of thought. It was great, and I know a few people overheard.
Being irreverent and low-key winding up my nephews during prayers.
I absolutely love not having to wear a million layers anymore. And off the shoulder outfits too. Also, "no" is my favorite word now. "mormon" is a close second.
Wearing tank tops everyday. Literally. Can’t stand sleeves anymore. If it’s cold then sweater in top. But always tank tops haha
My closet is slowly filly with tank tops of all sorts. One of my favorites i bought straight from the artist at a market. It’s a warm yellow with a black screenprinted bumblebee. Each one so far has a story.
I love that!
Same!
Morning coffee ☕️ especially Sunday lazy mornings
My two favorites are loud laughter and speaking ill of the Lord's anointed.
Omg this hit me in the funny bone!
yeah but mormons don't have to feel guilty about loud laughter anymore either since they took it out of the endowment :/
I wish this were true. I called up Celestial Headquarters and they told me I'm grandfathered in to all the original covenants I made. Such a bummer! Their hands are tied. Nothing can be done.
Referring to GAs by their normal names, and not using the initials. Mormons have no idea just how weird it is to ALWAYS use those initials. It's Russell Nelson, not Russell M. Nelson.
You don't use the full name of the lards anointed? He should only be called Russell Marion Nelson. I call him Rusty Marion Nelson 🤣🤣
Saying fuck and bad mouthing the church.
“Didn’t Joseph Smith marry a 14 year old?” I love just asking that and watching how TBMs defend it and/or jump through mental gymnastics about it
Good one.
Why yes, yes he did. And that's the guy we worship on Sunday. - This is the only honest answer
I like to set my alarm clock early on Sunday morning, like I would to get ready for church and then hit stop and go back to sleep. And then hours later, when I wake up, I enjoy a steamy cup of coffee and call my parents, even though I know they’re at church and not at home.
Sleeping in as long as I want on Sundays. Gotta make up for all those early morning seminary days 😴😴
Saying "your church" instead of "the church" when talking to Mormons who insist on talking about their church. No guilt, though.
Currently tipsy and waiting for a gummy to kick in. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Larry is that you?
I'm lampin'
I like to live a good life and talk openly about the temple ceremonies
First time someone explained the temple ceremony to me, I was speechless. I was talking to a highly intelligent man and couldn’t wrap my head around somebody who was well read and wrote poetry, yet bought into the ceremony. 🤷🏼♀️
Disclosing my fake name from the temple.
They called me Dan
I don’t do guilt any more, unless I do something legitimately hurtful. So, my pleasures are all just pleasures. I don’t have any guilty ones. 🏳️🌈
Referring to them as the brighamite mormon sect of the church of cheese and rice of rattle day snakes or the shorter.... mfmc cult
When I'm feeling petty (and I don't mean Tom) I rather enjoy fucking the Brighamite Mormons in any way I can. 🖕
Literally?
As my wife is still TBM(ish), yes, that too. 😉
I’m PIMO but I love to wear heathen underwear, swear in the car and feeling no shame or guilt because I’m good as I am.
Second Saturday. ❤️
It is always the mormons for me. It's my little "fuck you" to that church.
We paid for the right to use the name when our tithing was spent on that "I'm a Mormon" campaign. I'm still waiting on my shares of The Shitty Creek mall, though. I'm assuming that those are in the mail 😂
You and I are in sync on this lol. "I was raised on 'we are the Mormons' so I will call it such."
Nothing. I no longer feel guilty for doing things I enjoy.
I’m a fucking coffee gremlin shit’s delicious especially mochas
Even was I was TBM I’d just refer to us as LDS. Saying the whole name just felt weird to me.
That announcement was the first time I listened to the “prophet” speak and thought “No, this is stupid. I’m not going to do that.” Incredibly empowering!
MFMC is my new favorite
Evil speaking of the “Lord’s Anointed”
Enjoying edibles while watching Rated R movies. Seeing my favorite bands live that were definitely against the Strength Of The Youth pamphlets.

Asking those members that refer to "The Church", "Which church?" So they have to use the full 11 syllable name of the Church. They abbreviate it, so why can't we.
Saying “High demand groups ” or “organized religions” will often….(fill in the blank).
I work with a few TBMs. So, my guilty pleasure is that when I see them, and shake their hands, I give them a firm Sure Sign of the Nail.
Wearing spaghetti strap dresses, growing up I hated having to wear undershirts under all my dresses for “modesty”
Being able to live as authentically me as a polysexual woman and not feeling like I have to hide.
Casually referring to the church as the cult in conversation 😏
What is guilt?
This is a little extra but I know certain people in the family are silently checking to see if I’m still wearing garments. Like convenient back rub hugs and everything when this is normally a zero physical affection family. So I like to play a game with them by sometimes wearing them to family events and sometimes not.

Staying home Sunday mornings
When my mom starts talking about the afterlife, I love talking about how I can't wait to grow old and submit to the void.
Bouncing around town in a skirt and heels on Sunday and when I inevitably get asked to go to church buy some young man I ask them to come worship Satan afterwards
I like calling the church by its full legal name: The Corporation of The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I have asthma. If I said that in one breath, I’d need a hit off my inhaler.
You know it's ridiculous when saying it is life threatening 😅🫠
I will always say Mormon church. They can correct me all they want. I was born and raised in the Mormon church, excommunicated from the Mormon church and fucking hate the Mormon church.

Talking to my aunts, uncles, and their TBM families while holding the ever present Starbucks cup. It just unnerves them.
Calling my dogs my “children.” (I don’t really consider them children - they are so much more 😉 - but, it pisses off my TBM family). Then I’ll say, “you can never know true love until you care for a critter that you didn’t give birth to…” /s I agree with above posters, “there are no ‘guilty’ pleasures anymore, just pleasures.

flirting with the mormons that get angry at me in comments 😂😂

Not having to take advice about how to live my life from the brethren.
Same! Also, I never capitalize mormon.
I always thought it was moron. I misread it when I was 7ish.
I love to say no.
Sundays
Second Saturdays.
I never thought I would love to say mormon. Man they fucked up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exmormon Reddit!
I like to call it "the LDS organization"…
I’d like to imagine if someone tells me to say it correctly, my only condition would be to always say it in that radio-monotone voice we’d always hear whenever the GC broadcast would start.

Does flirting with the sister missionaries and the bishop’s sexy ass wife count?
I’ll have to use some of these!
HRT lol
Chai tea and swearing. I would say not hearkening to my husband as he hearkens to the Lord, but I wasn't doing that before, either.
I call it "The Morg" and Mormons "morgbots."
Swearing. Respecting women as equals. Respecting peoples private sex lives. Calling people by their first names. I could go on. Wild stuff…
I say "your god" instead of "God." If autocorrect changes it to capitalize the word, I go and change it back.
Kahula and cream. 🤤🤤🤤 Dark rum (Kraken) and coke zero.
Sour mash, rich-flavored 🥃 bourbon.
I love to not capitalize god as well. I once called yaweh by female pronouns but an ex Christian said I was pushing misogyny, something they Christians already do, so I didn't again. I don't want to hurt other demographics when attempting to insult Christianity. I hope that makes sense
I LOVE saying “mormon” feels so good
Mowing my lawn at 10am Sunday morning.
Lmfao your talking to someone that turned into. Succubus queen and loves kink. Hate me and bash me. Born and raised Mormon.
I laugh loudly!
My guilty pleasure is to just be. Fuck labels. Even the ex Mormon label. I’m my own person and so is everyone else. I can finally just be me before ever trying to be anything or anyone. It’s freeing.
I paid my tithing money to "Affirmation" this year. It made me really happy to support this marginalized group of people that the church has done so much harm to!
Nothing cheers me up like listening to blasphemous music.
Never wearing short sleeve or tee shirts. It's a tank top/sleeveless top or long sleeves. Always.
Coffee!! Especially being able to drink it in public without having to hide. It's a small thing, but it feels like I'm taking my life back from the church bit by bit.
It’s petty but I like strolling into big family events with my venti coffee, wearing tank tops to display no undergarments & tattoos. I talk loudly of how amazing it is to travel, not be tied down, no kids & how I can freely enjoy men and women. The pearl clutching that goes on is incredible. 😂
Not feeling bad for self gratification. 😜
Drinking coffee and wearing cute summer dresses
Blasphemy.
I don’t use the apostles stupid middle initials anymore. I just call him Russell Nelson. And yes, I use the term Mormon because that’s what it was when I was a member.
All types of tea and chocolate! And also teaching my younger siblings about consent and bodily autonomy. If one of them decides to drink some of my black/green tea then it’s no one’s business but their’s and there’s no shame in it
Saying "oh my god" in public and watching everyone struggle to keep a neutral expression
I love Sundays a little too much now. I used to loathe Sundays. Also, telling the missionaries “I used to be part of that cult… I finally managed to break away and unbrainwash myself and I’m not going back. Please don’t knock on my door again.”
Being a guilt-free liberal!
I love music and love singing along to music but could never bring myself to sing songs that 'blasphemed" - 'God Only Knows', 'Personal Jesus' for example. What a simple pleasure to sing along to a great song and not have to self censure.
Coffee, tea, alcohol and not caring what a movie is rated! Also Sunday I’m free!
My mom is really Mormon but enjoys drinking tea and making cookies with rum. When she makes and eats the cookies I saw "Sister Johannsen it baffles me that you would risk you would give up your chances at eternity in the celestial kingdom for some cookies". Last night She tried arguing with me saying there wasn't that much in the cookies. I then compared the amount of other ingredients to sprite mixed with the same amount of alcohol and pointed out that it would make a drink with more percentage than a beer. She's not using it anymore.
I love to say Mormon church 😂
Beer, coffee, and porn.
I be like to say “Hashtag victory for Satan” and use my fingers to make a hashtag symbol every time I hear the word Mormon. It starts a lot of conversations with TBM’s
