This is amazing! I’ve made every one of those steps and now I’m standing just above swinging. I’ll ask my wife if she’s ok with me swinging.
After swinging the logical next steps are:
Green tea
Black Tea
Coffee
Alcohol
Weed
Hard drugs
Noah didn’t really build an ark
Adam and Eve really weren’t the first parents.
Jesus is like Santa Claus for adults
Of all of those-"Blue Shirt to Sacrament" cracks me up the most- why didn't they include porn shoulders, or not wearing g's to do yardwork, or not attending the temple, or not accepting a calling, or drinking coke, or ...
but the BLUE SHIRT is the crack in the foundation? OMG that is funny!

That was one of the first ones I saw that made me say “that is me”

I guess this is why I haven't yet received my invitation to the "Ex-MORmON Swingers Club." I preferred green, tan, gray, and every once in a while BLACK shirts as opposed to blue. I tell you what, the black shirt with a tie at COJCOLdS MORmON functions was wonderful. The look on folks' faces was very enjoyable.
Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. -Frater Ravus
Haha! I had no idea swinging was the final result of this pathway.
I took a bunch of those steps out of order, and often two at a time.
Well, I'm better than dirt! Ah, well... most kinds of dirt; not that fancy store-bought dirt; that stuff is loaded with nutrients. I can't compete with that stuff. -Moe Sizlack
I would assume those Dez Naz guys would have reverence for Brown Shirts and Putschs, although they might insist on 7 Up rather than German beer halls in order to maintain the Word of Wisdom.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

These guys are REALLY scared of the power of the CES letter.
I feel like I messed the whole process up. I read the CES letter a long time ago and I'm still no closer to swinging. Also, Porn should probably be up there between Faithful Members and Forget to Pray, since - according to my stake president - about 70% of men in the church have a "porn problem" but I doubt that many have read the CES letter. If they had then I guess 70% of the men in the church would also have a swinging problem.
“The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” -Mark Twain
Jesus: "The Kingdom of God is within you." The Buddha: "Be your own light."
The first giveaway this was a MORmON culture rap was when he pronounced Melchizedec as Mellkezadick.
When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or cease to be honest. -anon
The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world. -Max Born
I like DEZNAT's attitude. They're like, "it's all true. JS was a prophet, BOA is a literal translation. Deal with it." That used to be my attitude. I could never handle some squishy progressive Mormonism theology. When I was a believer, I loved "Mormon Doctrine" by Bruce R. McConkie. I believed that book when it said "the earth is 6,000 years old no matter what anyone says. It has been revealed to God's authorized mouthpiece. End of story."
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
