    How fucking weird. I genuinely don’t understand this

    Jeezus said so, that’s why.

    If you keep digging and playing an adult game of “why?” you eventually come to that “reasoning.” It’s ultimately why we can’t have nice things because religion falls to critical thinking skills, falls to history, falls to literature, and falls to the scientific method.

    It’s like any other group of people: it’s held up by people who’ve “paid their dues” and need younger people to buy into the system and feed it so the older folks can coast through the end of their life. The system is brutal to people who don’t conform. They usually end up expelled from the group and left without resources to build back up again. It’s why there are whole other support groups, as an example, to get people out of the LDS sphere of influence.

    And by the way, to you good people helping folks escape from the LDS: you would do well to read all the stories about whole chinese police departments working in North America, and what’s going on with Flock, and LLMs gathering up data, and it all being available for purchase. I hope your OPSEC is up to having that light shined on you.
