How do these missionaries even know about flesh lights? How did they react? So much info is missing here. It's just a picture and no other context than that sentence.

Utah has the highest porn consumption in the country. The shame is how they keep you in the cult.

Also isolation. If you get disfellowshipped, other Mormons can't even speak to you without being punished.

I'm sure they're taught all about them as children.

Joseph Smith saw them with his magic glasses. Have you not even read the third testament?

Have you not even read the third testament?

No ... wait, it goes "old", "new", and "third"? What kinda naming standard is that? Why not "newer"? I mean this is half a tier better than "new_final_final"

The Book of Mormon calls itself the third testament of Jesus Christ. The old and New Testament being the first two.

Wait. But Jesus isn’t in the Old Testament? So how can TBOM be the 3rd testament of Jesus? It can be the 3rd testament or it can be the 2nd testament of Jesus but not the 3rd of Jesus.

I mean it’s also all made up fairy tales ans IDK why I would expect logical consistency from the Mormon church.

Unfortunately the last prophet wasn't familiar with semver, git, or even Word 97
