I eat less meat than I did as a Mormon, but Mormons tend to ignore THAT part of the word of wisdumb. I try to make decisions about my life without referencing Mo-speak at all. When I left the church, I left behind all the judgemental controlling bullshit.

It is strange to observe the prisons that people choose to live in.

Off all the dumb things you can corrupt your mind and body with, Religion is one of the worst. People who shoot up heroin and smoke crack are better off than people who submit themselves to the psychological abuse of Mormon brainwashing. But I was BIC and didn't get to choose. fucking cult.

Tx DiamondWoman, I should have picked up on that one - you used it in full before.
I have always understood TBM to be Testimony Bearing Mormon.... just goes to show...
At the moment there isn't anything else but it would be nice to have a list perhaps - here in darkest A----- they were not used much except for the LDS one. When I was a member it was frowned upon to use the word Mormons (needed to say that whole COJCOLDS bit - but I believe now they WANT to be known as Mormons - read that somewhere, just cannot remember where... maybe someone else has heard of it...

I used H3 in a post. It comes from Discussion H, section 3, in the old Rainbow Discussions. it deals with the Law of Chastity. A "Molly" is a bobbled head lady that is LDS that is more of a cheerleader than anything else.

I think this brings up a great point. Could we use a small dictionary of terms and phrases for the newbie, and for Boyd K. Packer when he sneaks in on the internet to see what we say about his old butt. We know you are looking Boyd old Boy!

Well, coming from a small Branch and of non BIC parents of TSCCand being a relative Newbie here now, I still don't know what Funeral Potatoes taste like! Contrary to FPR, I have not been Exed and have never worn Angel Chaps - probably because when I first saw them I almost ROFL.For a very long time I was an investigator and probably theMishies' worst nightmare as I was definitely not a Golden Contact! I did enjoy RS though and learned a lot there. I now see myself as a TBC and Postmo fully recovered. How did I do?? Thanks, I found the list most informative.

Perhaps we need to not use them at all. Or, when we do use them place what it is in parenthesis. I have problems with them as well, and sadly, tend to give minimalism the posts that contain them!

interesting comment - just when I am getting the hang of it.....Do elaborate Don as to why you tend to give minimalism the posts that contain them? I'm curious.

I now love coffee, I love Lipton Tea, I don't smoke cigs, but I tried and liked Pot. I even, living in Vegas and all, had some casual and protected ~verbal~ intercourse with some ladies at the Clubs here. :)
When you dance and it is hot you sweat. I notice garments in there and these garments leave with ladies for an hour or so. Then they come back with no garments on.!! I guess they saw the need to keep them clean and non sweaty. So they took them off for cleaning. Yea, right. WOW, H3 issues all over town, and its great!

Man, a few drinks and...bah, I don;t want to go there here, ...or do I not want to go here there? :)

One time my mother in law was staying with us and she freaked out to find that I was drinking green tea. She printed all these church talks and ensign articles and would not leave me alone all day about how BAD tea is for us. So here I am looking at this woman who is obese, has pulmonary HTN, and uses continuous O2, and eats ribs 3 times a day, frequents mcdonalds, drinks about 6 cans of diet coke a day, and a pint of ben and jerrys daily...and I was speechless.

I knew if I said anything it would not be nice so I ignored her all day. But really? This is what is so messed up about mormons...there is no common sense. I was sinning for drinkning green tea. But her overconsumption of aspartame, meat, fat, salt, and sugar were perfectly acceptable.

I've always loved coffee. I do drink occassionally at parties or when I'm out with my hubby:) I LOVE getting tipsy with my hubby. And MOST of all I LOVE seeing him drunk...don't really know why but in a way I'm happy for him or proud of him. IT took years for me to pull him away from the cult. So seeing him have fun and feeling good makes me happy.

Smoking is a death wish. I have held the hand of many patients dying from smoking related illnesses. Plus I refuse to give my hard earned money to another greedy, evil, conspiracy driven industry.

That's freakin' unbelievable, or not. I've heard similar accounts.
