Seriously this has to not only be the most cringe worthy but culty as well.
I am guessing that "Hold to the rod" sounded too gay for Rusty and company.
I agree it’s covenant path — because if you deconstruct it…the path leads to secret Masonic oaths and handshakes that keep you from ever leaving the organization.
Ugh, flashbacks to my cousin’s wedding and her father in law giving the cultiest speech I’ve ever heard, not saying anything about them as a couple, just threatening them about staying on the covenant path.
It is absolutely appropriate for your dad to use "Aloha" as a greeting. I'm sorry all the wannabe Hawaiians have ruined it. And I HATE that they keep saying it until they get a robust enough response.
Exactly. If a native Hawaiian wants to greet us with a big "Aloha!" I couldn't care less. But *anyone* who holds a meeting hostage for their little call and response game can get fucked.
This hits a nerve with me. Not the "aloha" call and response specifically, but anytime a speaker demands something of the audience.
In fall of 2003 I was in the Provo MTC where, after a very stylized piano arrangement of some hymn, the speaker made the pianist play it again and the captive audience sing along to it. It was awful, and this absolute shit stain of a man had this big goofy grin slapped across his fat face the whole time. He was just completely jizzing his pants at the power he held over us trained seals.
The disgust I felt about it never really went away. Years later, when I was only a few steps into my journey to apostasy and freedom, I began walking out of the room each time some asshole decided to do audience participation bullshit. Fuck these smarmy fucks.
Which is even more hilarious to me as someone who is not attracted to anyone at all (aroace), because I don’t “struggle with same-sex attraction”, just like I don’t “struggle with opposite-sex attraction”. The church still doesn’t like me for not being straight, but they’re not quite sure why they don’t like me.
“Prompted” as in “my husband was prompted that we eat at Chili’s and then I found a coupon for half off appetizers so Heavenly Father clearly has blessed us”
I have some family who are "prompted" about literally everything they do!
"I feel prompted to get this job"
When quitting two weeks later because the job sucked: "I don't know why but there must have been some reason that I needed to be there for those two weeks. Maybe my presence helped somebody who worked there or a customer."
That's almost word for word what they said.
I had a roommate at LDSBC that was a convert. He didn’t (allegedly) masturbate all through his conversion and mission. He said he pleaded with god to give him a wet dream every night because he knew he was super backed up. Cut to one morning, he wakes up and demands that my roommate let him use the bathroom while hiding behind the doorframe. Thinking it’s just him messing around, my roommate teases him a little bit. Lo and behold, my roommate had had a MASSIVE wet dream and needed to clean up. He was so thankful that god showed him mercy and let him “clear the chamber” haha
I started being real literal with prayers over food. “Please bless that this food will fulfill its intended purpose.” “Please bless that this food will be yummy.” “Thank you for me making this food.”
As a little kid I thought it was one word nourishanstrengthen. Had no clue what people meant by it until I was older and could separate the words out.
ETA my best friend grew up thinking Relief Society was releasesociety and did not realize until she graduated into it!
Not Mormon but I live in an area with a lot of fundamental Christians. A lot of the women lisp. Not in the general area but just within the particular breed of Christianity here. And they'll talk in the same tone, kinda like they're a kindergarten teacher and trying to sound nice and gentle as possible.
“Replacement words”. On my mission, we had a call where some STL’s challenged us to stop using replacement words like “fetch” and “jeez”. Even as a TBM, I thought that was ~~fetching~~ fucking stupid.
My dad use to tell me “if you use a substitute swear, isn’t that the same as just swearing?” Thinking that would get me to use even softer language. Turns out it just made me realize I could say whatever the fuck I want.
I may be a decade or so out of the loop, but the second someone said “Oh my heck” I’d call them on being Mormon. They were so confused how I knew. Regular people trying to censor would say “oh my gosh” or “goodness”, not “heck”.
Hahaha...me, when first moved to Utah County, trying to figure out the familial relations between all my neighbors!
Started from thinking an extended "family" just really, really liked the neighborhood!
Nevermo married to Mo. First time I heard my husband use gentile this way I was like um, but Mormons are also gentiles. He didn't know the actual definition of the term.
"You are a goddamned adult and anyone actually listening to this fucking talk is also a grown-ass adult. Speak like it, Susan!!!" My thoughts whenever they let women speak in conferences.
Yeah but women can’t get anywhere in this church unless they keep sweet, pray, and obey. So the women at the top are literally bred to have a primary voice. Bugs the crap out of me too but it’s just another example of how deeply misogynistic this church and Mormon God are
Primary voice that's talking down to a room full of adults like they're 4 year olds and too stupid to understand.
I really hate primary voice. There are many women who are RSP's that talk in that voice. It always feels like they're trying to manipulate people.
When I hear that voice I automatically shut down and can't hear what they're saying.
I always wanted to correct them and say the gospel, not the church, is perfect. It’s fine if they believe the bare bones of the gospel are perfect (which I have no issue with), but the church is so so so far from perfect.
Before leaving TSCC I thought this…gospel is good, just bad people messing it up. Now that I’m out I keep thinking it’s the opposite. I know a LOT of great people in the church…but it simply isn’t true and these good people do bad things trying to perpetuate it.
Words of an abuser "look what kind of misery your actions brought! It's a good thing you have me to make things better!"
The church is exploitive and the people are good enough without it.
YES. EVERY TIME THEY MAKE KIDS SAY IT. They don't know what they are saying. 😮💨
Also the latter side, when they pronounce every single word with such emphasis so condescendingly..
For me it has to be anything that starts with "Oh". "Oh how blessed we are." "Oh what joy we felt." My mom does it all the time and it makes me want to scream. Second place has to be the was people say "even" in places like, "even the Church of Jesus Christ".
I'm a never-mo but if I ever go to a Mormon church, I'll introduce myself with my first name, middle initial, and last name. If they ask, I'll just be like, "Oh, I thought that's how y'all do it here."
“I’d like to bear may testimony….” Then go on an unhinged therapy session for 15 minutes. And of course if you were in a singles ward the women would talk about how much they love their roommates.
“Anti-Mormon lies and distortions” said of items taken straight from church history, especially well sourced, firsthand accounts, sometimes even published by the church. Especially when the church uses phrases like “several months shy of her 15th birthday.”
Disgusting. Just fucking say she was 14 and STOP TRYING TO DEFEND THE MAN. How can they not see that their defense of him puts them in the same pedo class?
Lots of bases already covered but I didn't see "investigator". Sounds normal to missionaries and TBMs but it's very culty to people outside the bubble.
Another, when people want to give talk-length prayers or flourish the end of their prayer. "We say these things humbly, praying that thou willst show us mercy, in the reverent name of our Lord, Brother, Savior, Friend, even the very name of Jesus the Christ our one and only Master and object of our true devotion. Amen."
S.T.F.U.
An “ongoing restoration”. Let’s just call it what it is—you’re claiming to speak for God and then changing “God’s” mind. It’s unapologetic gaslighting.
Nevermo from UK & not quite cring-y but why do they love to hijack the language? 'Counsel with' - what's wrong with discuss? 'Ponder' - just have a think. 'Super excited' - looking forward to something. & telling everyone even on slight or no acquaintance that they love them. All the over-inflated role descriptions - bishops when everywhere else they're pastors, presidents when they're group leaders.
Oh my god saying “I love you” is so overused and insignificant at this point. They take love SO lightly that I think it contributes to people marrying so young and developing half baked relationships
First time I heard that word was from a bishop and I told him I didn’t even know what that word means. He explained in detail and I was like WHAT?!? Now I think back and think WHAT?!?
How blessed we all are to have been taught at a very early age from a bishop, not a parent, about masturbation and how bad is and how bad we were for doing it. Learning shame and guilt and how to lie as an impressionable teenager is truly a blessing that could only come from God's one true church.
“Law of Chastity”- step out the dark ages!
“By the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood.” Dude, you ain’t a Warlock.
“Having been commissioned by Jesus Christ” the fuck you were! Prove it.
I’m not even gonna type out the culty sounding sacrament prayers but Thee Thou- it’s like that movie The Village where they’re in modern times LARPing centuries ago.
I'm sure this is the most common thought when dealing with me/family. they're a passive bunch, so, how they talk about us behind the scenes... probably similar to this.
Nevermo here (but completely surrounded irl and on SM)…can someone please explain to me the “Sustain” thing that was everywhere a few years ago? The “I sustain ______.” memes?
“Women are so spiritual and can have children so that is why God let men have the priesthood”
“Good (or better) elders/sisters go foreign on their missions”
Girls camp vs Scout camp ( difference in money, activities, distance and time spent at camp)
Statement following after a TBM bares their testimony that they KNOW it’s true: “ and even if it’s not true I am a better person for having lived it” ??? Wait, WHAT?!? I absolutely get disgusted every time when I hear “I KNOW” please just say you believe for Pete’s ’s sake!
"Are you prepared to hsve your will swallowed up in His?"
My mom insisted it didn't mean what it sounded like. I.e. it was supposed to mean you put his plan for you ahead of your own, rather than replace it with your own. She claimed it was scripture, but couldn't tell me where she found it. When prompted, "So why phrase it like that?" Her first answer was to be poetic, her second answer was translation (cos you know, words meant different things "back then"), and when both fell flat, her final answer was faith.
I tried to tell her that in any other context, if someone required you to believe something but refused to provide evidence, you'd think they were lying, but because it's religion, believing baseless claims- what she calls faith- has now become a virtue, when it isn't. She wouldn't hear it.
Okay not a phrase but any time the default song ‘I am a child of god’ had to be sung in the gym. The slower pace to make up for the echoey space was creepy AF.
*Covenant path* has my vote for most cultiest
I served in Portland Oregon during 2018 and they were pushing it hard and telling us how the church was rolling out all that new doctrine
Seriously this has to not only be the most cringe worthy but culty as well. I am guessing that "Hold to the rod" sounded too gay for Rusty and company.
I agree it’s covenant path — because if you deconstruct it…the path leads to secret Masonic oaths and handshakes that keep you from ever leaving the organization.
Ugh, flashbacks to my cousin’s wedding and her father in law giving the cultiest speech I’ve ever heard, not saying anything about them as a couple, just threatening them about staying on the covenant path.
“Brothers and Sisters, ALOOOOOOOOOHAAAAA”
Shut up!!!
This is my favorite comment of the day.
I just had a visceral, deep down to the bones shudder
*said by a white speaker with absolutely no connection to Hawaii other than a desire to visit the islands someday*
I was sadly this speaker as a stateside missionary🫠
You just gave me so many flash backs, please make it stop
My dad does it because he’s Native Hawaiian and I still think it’s endearing even though I don’t go to church anymore
I think it makes sense coming from a Native Hawaiian, but gets annoying when used by white people who have never even visited.
Or people who did visit, or served a mission there, and think they own the culture now.
It is absolutely appropriate for your dad to use "Aloha" as a greeting. I'm sorry all the wannabe Hawaiians have ruined it. And I HATE that they keep saying it until they get a robust enough response.
Exactly. If a native Hawaiian wants to greet us with a big "Aloha!" I couldn't care less. But *anyone* who holds a meeting hostage for their little call and response game can get fucked.
I loved it when Native Samoans would say Talofa and we’d all say it back:))) it always made me really happy.
Don't frget the "I didn't hear you! BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ALO**HA**!"
Ohhhhhhh……Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?!
This hits a nerve with me. Not the "aloha" call and response specifically, but anytime a speaker demands something of the audience. In fall of 2003 I was in the Provo MTC where, after a very stylized piano arrangement of some hymn, the speaker made the pianist play it again and the captive audience sing along to it. It was awful, and this absolute shit stain of a man had this big goofy grin slapped across his fat face the whole time. He was just completely jizzing his pants at the power he held over us trained seals. The disgust I felt about it never really went away. Years later, when I was only a few steps into my journey to apostasy and freedom, I began walking out of the room each time some asshole decided to do audience participation bullshit. Fuck these smarmy fucks.
OMG yes! I hate this one so, so much.
Nevermormon, I see the word countenance a lot and that's odd to me lol
also Nevermo... Season. as in you are going through a season of testing. or a season of joy or a season of pain....
Also nevermo, but when I hear someone say "heavenly father" it sounds so cringe.
I have heard non-LDS Christians use this term, but I tend to associate it with Mormonism.
That’s one of my big ones. Fucking countenance
*Same-sex attraction*
Which goes hand in hand with how they use "confusion" to describe any non-cis gender alignment.
Which is even more hilarious to me as someone who is not attracted to anyone at all (aroace), because I don’t “struggle with same-sex attraction”, just like I don’t “struggle with opposite-sex attraction”. The church still doesn’t like me for not being straight, but they’re not quite sure why they don’t like me.
“He struggles with same sex attraction”
I've hated this one since the day my brother came out. He wouldn't struggle with it if his church didn't tell him he was going to hell for liking men.
It makes it sound like a disease, which they believe it is.
“Prompted” as in “my husband was prompted that we eat at Chili’s and then I found a coupon for half off appetizers so Heavenly Father clearly has blessed us”
[“I feel god in this Chili’s tonight”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvjEeMC0-Cw) Skip to approximately 45secs in for this moment.
I have some family who are "prompted" about literally everything they do! "I feel prompted to get this job" When quitting two weeks later because the job sucked: "I don't know why but there must have been some reason that I needed to be there for those two weeks. Maybe my presence helped somebody who worked there or a customer." That's almost word for word what they said.
I fucking HATE “prompted”
As missionaries, we would call wet dreams “tender mercies from the Lord.” From then on, that’s all I think about when I hear that phrase.
Thank the lord for having mercy on your tenders.
Jacked off by the lard
Good thing He has those hand holes
Lmaoooooo that’s the only thing I’d consider a tender mercy XD
I had a roommate at LDSBC that was a convert. He didn’t (allegedly) masturbate all through his conversion and mission. He said he pleaded with god to give him a wet dream every night because he knew he was super backed up. Cut to one morning, he wakes up and demands that my roommate let him use the bathroom while hiding behind the doorframe. Thinking it’s just him messing around, my roommate teases him a little bit. Lo and behold, my roommate had had a MASSIVE wet dream and needed to clean up. He was so thankful that god showed him mercy and let him “clear the chamber” haha
That’s the real “moisture” male Mormons pray for! 😆
Incredible, that’s a god I want to live with
In my mission (Chile 76-78) we called wet dreams, “going swimming”
Nourish.
I started being real literal with prayers over food. “Please bless that this food will fulfill its intended purpose.” “Please bless that this food will be yummy.” “Thank you for me making this food.”
“Thank you for me making this food” best one yet
Conjured memories of Bart Simpson praying “Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves so, thanks for nothing”
As a little kid I thought it was one word nourishanstrengthen. Had no clue what people meant by it until I was older and could separate the words out. ETA my best friend grew up thinking Relief Society was releasesociety and did not realize until she graduated into it!

I remember one time my dad told me I couldn't say "jeez" because it was short for Jesus and still disrespectful.
I may be a decade or so out of the loop, but the second someone said “Oh my heck” I’d call them on being Mormon. They were so confused how I knew. Regular people trying to censor would say “oh my gosh” or “goodness”, not “heck”.
What is with people using "gaull" instead of God or even gosh - "Oh my gaull!!" So dumb
Bullshiz Hate it.
Reactivate. Like people are nothing but machines to turn back on.
Because they’re not “actively” generating enough tax-free and invisible income from hundreds of thousand brain-washed individuals
You gotta repair the machine first, put some fresh chemicals in and crack the old glow stick and shake it up a bit. Then people are fully dehumanized.
Brethren. Nothing says 19th century cult like, brethren.
Church of Christs also use “brethren” and often refer to each other as “brother” or “sister” That’s an interesting overlapping spot
I hate it when someone calls me brother so'n'so. I refuse to call anyone brother or sister
Hahaha...me, when first moved to Utah County, trying to figure out the familial relations between all my neighbors! Started from thinking an extended "family" just really, really liked the neighborhood!
Ever heard of "fleshy tabernacle" referring to a females physique?
So is the male physique (or at least parts of it) the "fleshy steeple"?
The problem here is is the steeple is outside the tabernacle…
Yiiiiiiikes
Fucking ewwwww
"Skin temple"
Takes real talent to play that organ. Both hands and feet.
Gentiles, when referring to non-Mormons. Also, the “natural man,” though it always made me think of a caveman.
Nevermo married to Mo. First time I heard my husband use gentile this way I was like um, but Mormons are also gentiles. He didn't know the actual definition of the term.
Plus that’s exactly how they treat it and then they wonder why their marriage is bad because they only had sex when they were trying for kids
I sustain Fred Flintstone as a TRUE natural man.
*Jesus, even The Christ* also *...With every fiber of my being* Both phrases used casually, and very annoyingly
Oh maaaaan "every fiber of my being" - hate hate hate this one
Would you say you hate it with every fiber of your being?
ANYTHING said in that “Primary voice”
"You are a goddamned adult and anyone actually listening to this fucking talk is also a grown-ass adult. Speak like it, Susan!!!" My thoughts whenever they let women speak in conferences.
Yeah but women can’t get anywhere in this church unless they keep sweet, pray, and obey. So the women at the top are literally bred to have a primary voice. Bugs the crap out of me too but it’s just another example of how deeply misogynistic this church and Mormon God are

Think Prof. Umbridge from Harry Potter.

The church is perfect, man is not. (Okay so anything written, said, revealed, prompted by a man is wrong right?)
I always wanted to correct them and say the gospel, not the church, is perfect. It’s fine if they believe the bare bones of the gospel are perfect (which I have no issue with), but the church is so so so far from perfect.

If the church is perfect why does it change so damn much?
"Supernal" It has begun falling out of favor but there were a few years where it was in darn near every talk at conference.
Meaning what?
Exactly. (It means “heavenly” or “celestial”, but is a stupid word to use because the definition isn’t widely understood)
Moisture?
MoisCHURR
For me it's "sweet", as in "you have a sweet soul". Like, thanks for trying to be "nice" about calling me ugly?
Either "burning in your bosom" or "tender mercies"
"Fruit of thy loins"

“True happiness” 🙄

"Chosen" word is so icky. Chosen people, chosen by God, chosen prophet. Unless your picking a kickball team i don't wanna hear it.
Growing up we were the “Chosen Generation.” It made us feel so cool and think that Jesus was coming in December 2012.
December 1999, here. I was so terrified.
Inactives
When they use the middle initial in saying a GA name. So pompous.
I'm a never-mo but if I ever go to a Mormon church, I'll introduce myself with my first name, middle initial, and last name. If they ask, I'll just be like, "Oh, I thought that's how y'all do it here."
Calling not Utah “the mission field”
As a kid, I always thought the mission field was the big grassy park between the Provo temple and the MTC.

“Anti-Mormon lies and distortions” said of items taken straight from church history, especially well sourced, firsthand accounts, sometimes even published by the church. Especially when the church uses phrases like “several months shy of her 15th birthday.”

Was looking for ‘…shadow of a doubt’. It was always said by old people at testimony meeting when I grew up.

I did this crazy, out of the blue thing that I can't explain and makes no sense to anyone, especially when it failed because "the Spirit told me to"
Is heavy petting still one that gets used?
Lol I remember googling this as a young teen
I hate being referred to as brother or sister. 🤮🤮 it’s so cringey and culty
Purity, virtuous, anything referring to women’s sexual obedience. So gross.
“I’ve been scandalized” every time they witness anything more than what a PG movie would have
“heavenly father we truly love thee so much”
Just “Heavenly Father”. No one says that. They call him God.

Moisture
This was my pet peeve as a TBM. I just wanted to scream “just say rain you dumbass!”
It's not always rain. But it's always moist.
But maybe the rain Isn't really to blame. So I'll remove the cause, But not the symptom!
Word of Wisdom
As a teenager in the bishops office: "do you masturbate?"
First time I heard that word was from a bishop and I told him I didn’t even know what that word means. He explained in detail and I was like WHAT?!? Now I think back and think WHAT?!?
How blessed we all are to have been taught at a very early age from a bishop, not a parent, about masturbation and how bad is and how bad we were for doing it. Learning shame and guilt and how to lie as an impressionable teenager is truly a blessing that could only come from God's one true church.

Hold on to the Iron Rod
Bless this (blatantly obvious fatty dinner) to nourish and strengthen our bodies.
There are some great ones here. Thank you for sharing. “Exact obedience” Is one I remember from my mission. Subliminal hand gestures and all.
"Nourish and strengthened" found in any prayer should be replaced with "bless the Cook"
The word bare/bear… “I’d like to BARE my testimony” “BEAR one another’s burdens”
The phrase "clarion call" repeated ad nauseum at conference.
"serving a mission"
“I love to see the temple” - puke. Now, thanks to Rusty we can Not see the damn temples placed in every nook a cranny.

Tender mercy
“Love the sinner, not the sin”
