You and I are becoming dinosaurs, you know that. Right?
I mean, it has been more than 20 years, already, since the so-called Brethren took "Pay Lay Ale" out of the endowment. I also felt sort of "naked", without the ritual slashing of my own throat (symbolically, of course), too.. The Ceremony of the Endowment seemed somehow emasculating, without all of that.
I even miss the Protestant Minister part of the ceremony...
@orlovna2 My kids tell me I look like a dinosaur. I feel like one. It's crazy. When the temple is mentioned the young Moes say the throat slashing and minister were never part of the temple ritual. This religion mentally castrates the youth. I'm always ready for some payback.
Someone observed to me, once, that this religion keeps people (especially the men) in a cocoon-like "stasis pod" of development: or, in other words, the butterfly never emerges, and the people become very "happy" with being "nymphs" (or, larvae), in a perpetual adolescent state of development, mentally.
@orlovna2 haha, yes, mentally castrated.. I've oft wondered what kind of character will rise up in this faux continuum? Another deviant with a magic rock, or candidate swinging his priesthood?
If you're talking about who will rise up WITHIN the Mormon Crutch, then, of course, it will be "whom-so-ever they GROOM & PREEN", for the job of "El Presidente".
My "bet" is on that self-absorbed Hot-dog, Big-headed, scrawny little cueball named EYRING ! (After all, his grandma...(or great Aunt)...was Camilla Kimball nee Eyring). As of now, that man Eyring most-certainly knows how to "subject himself, in beta-male fashion, to fat-gutted Monson: and, that is what they want 2 see.
When did Marjorie Pay Lay Ale Hinckley die, anyway?

@orlovna2 Has Gordo claimed Marjorie? Did another poser beat Hinkley with a bit of paylayale and some secret skin?
