14 year old Joseph claims to see God.
Told to not going any church.
Translates gold plates into BOM.
Builds a new church based on book.
Takes multiple wives in plural marriage.
Destroys printing press exposing plural marriage.
Gets killed.
Church moves west and survives.
Plural marriage continues until it doesn’t.
Great great grandparents join.
Generations of Mormonism continue.
Baby RR is born, grows up in church.
Goes on mission, married in the temple.
Has babies, turns 30 and wakes up.
Realizes the whole enchilada is made up.
Questions life, liberty, and the pursuit of?
Loves family more than hates the church.
Years pass, living in a twilight zone.
Things appear to normalize.
Tithing settlement comes around.
Undercurrent of sadness exposed.
Relationships suffer. You changed!
Church lied! You betrayed me?
No, church betrayed us! No...
Real betrayal isn’t changing beliefs!
Yes it is. No it’s not. Yes it is. Uh no it’s not.
We’re not on the same page anymore.
Rinse repeat every year in Nov to Dec.
Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! God lives!
uhhh. Maybe? No, he doesn’t?
What?? You’re a lost soul.
I’m just going to go do crack and shoot up an 8 ball into my eyelid, bang some hookers, and rant about politics.
I don’t know you anymore.
Thanks for the ministering visit!
Slams door.
Apostasy hurts everyone.
Don’t quit believing kids.
Your eternal salvation depends on it.
Your sanity does too.
The end.

This sounds so painful.... :|

You're listing a lot of the things that have created a lack of trust. Are there things, important characteristics, that still make you a good husband and a good person? Are there things that in your wife's eyes you still get right?

Coco grows up worshiping Ernesto de la Cruz
watches all his movies
sings all his songs
Ernesto's music divides coco's family...
then one day Coco goes on a journey,
and meets Ernesto...
at first things are amazing!
Image
and then...
Coco finds out Ernesto is a murderer who killed his dad and plagiarized his songs...
Does this mean Coco now hates music? Has Coco changed his personality?

Coco is brave enough to show everyone who Ernesto is... and in doing so, saves his family, and introduces them to the true beauty of music.
And they lived happily ever after.
The end.

Yes, e$pecially Jan - Oct but for $ome rea$on tithing $ettlement always kick$ off the annual undercurrent of $adne$$.

I think it remind$ her that I’m not temple worthy which a$ everyone know$ i$ the foundation of every cele$tial marriage.

I remind her there’$ more to marriage than temple ordinance$ and repetitive wor$hip in the Lord’$ Hou$e.
