It's a front. The books have hidden compartments for the prescription drugs they peddle on the street.

my friend is mormon and hes cool as fuck he sells weed

A Mormon family used to live next door to me the whole time growing up, I had a tree house and two of the sisters my age used to let me finger them at the same time.

My parents raised me a Mormon and I left the first chance I got. However, I would say that about 20% are actually cheerful, 60% put on a facade that they are perfect and happy, and the final 20% are just there. Most of the people that I knew while I was a Mormon have also left or been excommunicated it's kind of a trend when your born and raised in the church.

Former Mormon in a deep Mormon family here.

Do you still wear the magic underwear?

When they're doing their 'mission' work they're told to be polite and cheerful. Otherwise they're just normal people trapped by a cult.

Are they actually cheery or is it all an act?

And to answer OPs question: Most of the time, yeah. It makes them happy and feel fufilling. I gotta give props to the Mormon Church, it's one of the least shitty religions

No. You get the underwear when you get your endowments, and I actually started questioning the church when I was 16. By the time I was 18, I wasn't going anymore.

My dads mormon I like to think were pretty normal. The only major aspects of personality I find different are that we don't eat seafood or pork and i had the whole 'no sex before marriage' thing drilled in my head. oh and no caffiene or alcohol but im fine with it.

I'm not mormon personally. My dad was a pretty cheery guy, loved sports and going out golfing.

>Utah Mormon

I am so, so sorry. I assume you withdrew your name from the church, otherwise you'd be swimming in friendly visits.

What made you leave the faith?

Actually, I still believe in a lot of the fundamental principles, it's just...

It was about when homosexuality really started to come to the forefront of the news, and I was starting to meet more openly gay people. Ironically, it was the depth of my faith that started it. I believe in love, I believe that through love all things are made possible, and we're put on this earth to find happiness and love. I couldn't reconcile the teachings of the church with the gospel of Jesus Christ on that point. From there, it just started to fray. I was told I didn't always understand the fullness of God's plan, but the more I studied, pondered, and prayed, the less things made sense. The entire gospel falls apart if you take it as a whole.

If anything, I think breaking from the mainstream church was a part of His plan for me. A couple years after I stopped attending, I started to question my gender, which had I been going, I would have taken to the bishop. It's quite possible that I was guided away from the church to discover the fullness of my spiritual self, if you believe in that kind of stuff.

I see! I'm more of a naturalist myself, but I must admit that I pulled away from my roots in the same way. First you question the concept of limited love from an infinite being, then you get freaked out over the extreme overkill of eternal punishment over temporally limited wrongs, then you do your research and make your teachers uncomfortable. Then you shuffle out the door of the first part of your life without ever having meant to.

I actually posted a message on FB where all my family is

>The concept of ruling by a set of morals is fundamentally flawed. It is possible for something to be just but immoral, but it is also possible for something to be moral but unjust. This is a concept that was well understood by our Creator, and why Free Will is such a fundamental part of the plan of Salvation. If we, as followers of Christ, support using the Government as a tool to enforce morality, we are straying from the path that leads us to becoming more like our Heavenly Father.

And everyone flipped the fuck out

they believe you'll burn in hell. The fuck you think they'd be 'cool' and 'cheery' for.

Do mormon women does more moan or just regular moan? Or no moan at all since you have many rules about having sex. Like the hole in sheet or soaking.

mormon here. got back from a mission in mexico about 6 months ago. I still go every once in a while. I smoke, drink, drugs, porn. AMA

>Are they actually cheery or is it all an act?

They always seem really friendly but none too bright. Still, I'd marry one. You know that she'd know her place.

There's only two rules about sex in mormonism:
Don't do it with someone you're not married to
Don't do it with someone of the same gender

Mormonism actually encourages sexual relations between a married couple in order to make as many babies as possible, and because it is viewed as fairly healthy. Man is to cleave his spouse and so on.
