I live in a very deluded and blue state in the USA. That is part of why i have to go to such extreme means to get back in touch with socializing with people. I used to work in large teams of people and now im getting cabin fever something fierce and this kid of mine needs to have a structured social atmosphere to grow up in, he's just a wee babe and i dont want him growing up to be as socially retarded as i was. I'm huge into fantasy, lore and sci fi, and i like mormonism (So far) because to me it makes sense that jesus didnt stop his work after his resurrection, and it really doesnt matter if any of it is true or not. It's very nastalgic and enlightening to go over the bible and its fun and new to go over the book of mormon. Its actually amazing, the bible and book of mormon so far are pretty anti semetic. ive been meeting with some missionaries every week to do like a bible study and its pretty great. i asked one guy after hearing about how aweful some of the tribes of isreal were when they stopped being evil, and he wasnt sure other than he knows the tribes arent evil anymore. I asked if it was common for the Head Hancho mormon guy to be chosen from one of the tribes of isreal and he said that theyre almost exclusively picked from them which is super sus to me. i do believe in a God, but i also believe God uses evolution as his paintbrush for sentient life. is there anything youd like to inform someone whos thinking about getting into the religion? what are some pitfalls noobies fall into. what are the lies devote members tell themselves and how can i talk around the illusion spell they are under? what caused you to finally walk away from the church/ward? What are some things we can say and questions we can ask that would effectively red pill a member? I'm making a mom friend there but i feel terrible at knowing how to get along with her even though we get along quite well. sorry for the long speel heh
