My favorite part about people bearing their testimony is when a six year old kid does it and you can hear his parent's wispering what to say into his ear over the microphone.
oh god yes, the "formula" for giving your testimony
"i'd like to bare/bear/bury my testimony that i know this church is true, i love my mom and dad, my sisters/brothers, i believe in the book of mormon and love jesus ahhhmen"

FandyienBut Otto, what about us? Registered Userregular
every lil ole lady in our ward tried to glare me to death when i got my ears pierced for the second time
because our bodies are temples, right... and one hole per ear is dandy, but two? why you harlot.
when i was called into the bishop's office over it i looked him in the eye and asked him why one piercing was fine but two were bad. if our bodies are temples why is perforating it at all ok?
he had no answer and just smiled and nodded me out of the office i am such a rebel you guys
I posed questions about Joseph Smith's whole thing with plural marriages, and how it came about. His only response was to bear his testimony?
haha oh man, i actually had a discussion with my dad about joseph smith and all his shit the other day. it is fascinating all the shit they don't tell you in church.
also, did you know that a prophet said under oath to the supreme court that he has never received revelation from god, and neither as any prophet since joseph smith? also that they are not ordained by god, but rather chosen in a conference. hilarious!
Nobody has ever told me that. Mother fuckers.....

It always made me cringe. I had to walk out of the chapel every Fast Sunday. The TWO times I bore mine, I made damn sure to keep it unique.

i did it once and said exactly that because i was pissed that i was being forced to bare my testimony. it took all of 15 seconds, and then i walked back into the seats they had all us primary choir kids in. we were putting on a show, and i had been commanded to end my little part of the talk they gave us by giving my testimony. i was piiisssed because that should never be a thing that is forced

I can kind of respect the Mormon door to door guys. Whenever I run into the Jehovas witnesses or bible belt godpeople of any other description they usually give up as soon as I say a word like "Quaker" or "Unitarian" with something to the effect that they wouldn't let me in even if I wanted to join.
Mormons though they're all oh you know hey that's cool. Church is cool. Hey, want to go to a church that's super cool?

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

I used to go to church for Potluck Sunday cause all the moms cooked up some rad shit, always went with a friend. One day the church service was entirely dedicated to me, at least that is how it felt.
"Those amongst the community, that do not have the fiath, now is the time to come up and praise Jesus" etc etc.
Definitly awkward when everyone is like "Dude, you are supposed to go up there"

at youth group on wednesday nights, i used to ditch the activity they had planned for us, grab my friend from the male part of the youth group stuff and we'd go find a piano and he'd play songs while i read a book.
the dudes were usually playing basketball, and my friend hated sports, and the girls were usually doing something stupid as hell and i'd rather read.
also the guys all picked on my friend because he is small, quiet, and meek. i used to have to go tell the dudes to back off and stop being a bunch of dicks

Then they always try to backpedal. "Oh, you didn't have to say it. But God would have been VERY VERY unhappy." Just like that mission stuff.

I had some godpeople come to my door in the middle of summer once
Opened the door wearing gym shorts with morning wood and whoops old godpeople right there
Also a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses. There's a meeting hall like 2 miles down the road from my house and my lower-middle class neighborhood is a great place to try to save some souls

How do you answer the door with morning wood? It's not that hard to just tuck that guy under the waistband and lean forward a bit.

A lot of guys pick on smaller meek guys in order to get them to do something. It's always not malicious but a way to get them to stand up for themselves.
Not saying it is right, but knowing how to handle those situations has been milestones in my growth to being... I don''t know the word, manly?

yeah, when guys pick on the meek kids it's totally with good intentions and not just for amusement at all
edit: and i really hope you got "not" and "always" switched around, otherwise that makes your statement really stupid
all this stuff is super fascinating
I was raised in a home completely devoid of religious influence
there was a point as a child when I learned what God was and I was all confused
"people believe in that? But he's just like Santa!"

I am a guilt ninja

They ought to be good at it by now.
I spent 8 years in catholic school. I told a teacher I was giving up guilt for lent once. She was not amused.

I woke up to them knocking on the door and the dog barking
it's like "here are pants put these on who is it go away oh whoops I got a boner!"
'Is that Jesus in your pants or are you just happy to see me?'
