I used to wonder what the truth could be
My Little Tapir
Until you all shared its magic with me!
Blood atonement
Polyandry!
A rock in a hat
Freemasonry
Anachronisms
It's an easy feat
The CES letter makes it all complete! Yeah!
My Little Tapir
QuitMormon dot org is where it all ennndddsss
I think a lot of the shelf breaking items are hard to turn into little cutie marks. Like the MTC rape room. Or children meeting with bishops privately. Or patriarchy. Or the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Or the BYU honor code punishing sex assault victims. Or the fact that for the Q15, a modest stipend is six figures... So if you can turn those things into cutie marks, good on you, but I do think a cup of coffee would make a nice cutie mark!
Like this one? That TSCC lied about the translation process, and a folk magic device was used for a supposedly "divine" process. Fairly big shelf item for a lot of us.
Am I the only person who had no fucking clue what a tapir was until the preposterous theory of tapirs being confused for horses in the BOM was advanced???

I was in the same boat. But if JS didnโt know the word for โTapirโ and used โhorseโ instead, the what the fuck are cureloms and cumoms?
See Ether 9
19 And they also had horses, and asses, and there were elephants and cureloms and cumoms; all of which were useful unto man, and more especially the elephants and cureloms and cumoms.

Wait wait wait. NeverMo here. The tapir thing is because horses did not exist in the Americas at the time the BoM events supposedly took place, right? What about the elephants?! Those arenโt exactly native creatures here either. O_o Am I misinterpreting this?
I was raised in very conservative fundamentalist Christianity (Baptist in this case). Given some of the churches Iโve been in, I find Mormonism interesting from the perspective of people who figured out itโs bullshit. The church led Iโve been in werenโt quite as culty because there wasnโt an overarching organization, but I have no doubt that at least one of them would have been if they had the power to swing it.
Besides that, with the findings about child abuse and sexual assault in the Mormon church that have come up lately, I think itโs a good idea for me to try to be at least a bit familiar with the organization. Itโs horrifying, and horrifyingly familiar.
Magic handshake?
Man with multiple wives. Maybe like bathroom sign stick figures?
Twins! One with a veil and one with a Baker's hat. Both wearing fig leaf aprons.
One with a jaredite boat
A wheel or another anachronism, like a steel sword
What about a little tapir for each of the first visions. They can be a set of sextuplets or something... on with god, one with a pillar of fire, one with angels, one with god and Jesus.... what am I missing?
