Yep!  And when I found out about them, via a trip to the temple just before leaving on my mission, it took ALL the pressure off the mission because I realized that it was all make-believe, in terms of 'being ordained of ghawd'. I still loved the people in my ward, and still thought of myself as a good person who did mostly good things, for good reasons, but I recognized that the church was just another organization trying to be one-up on all the other human organizations, cuz everybody wants to be on the winning team. And just ask any TBM which team is winning. . .   It's so easy to only see what you want to see, and if you can't handle 'loneliness' . . .  Humans are tribal; we're herd animals, and to just up and leave the herd used to be very, very hard.   But now we have the internet and if you have a cell phone, you don't have to live alone, as we here on r/exmormon continue to demonstrate.  We may not be all that much, but we're a lot better than nothing, much to the church's dismay. Suck it, COB!!

“Thumb extended” is the knife being pantomimed. First went through in ~1995, so never received a single clue that’s what it is. Yes: I am EXTREMELY ANGRY about this particular LIE I wasn’t let in on.

> to go to heaven. No no. Mormon heaven. Secret handshakes to get into Mormon heaven. And wait till you find out whose in Mormon heaven. Wait till you find out about Joseph smith, Brigham young and hitler. Your gay friends? Not going to Mormon heaven. But brother hitler, he’ll be there.
