🧵I was an influencer that was paid by the LDS church.
I'm gunna give you the very condensed version of when the church paid me as an influencer in the mid 2010s.
Then I'm gunna MUTE this thread and let the mormons be asshats in the replies.

Spoiler Alert:
racial identity and culture is vitally important to individuals, especially to individuals who already have to deal with the complex emotional ramifications if being an adoptee.

FYI: The pervasive thought that a BIPOC child being adopted by a wealthy white family is enough to meet their complex emotional needs is one that has been summarily disproven.
It doesn't matter how "nice" or how wealthy that family is.

No, my church wasn't a cult.
We had rules for how we dressed, what we drank, women's jewelry, what we could learn on our own.
Financial contributions were mandatory and any who leave are vilified.
Men held all the power and withheld it from others.
Definitely wasn't a cult.

Mormons have been lied to for years by leadership pretending other American think mormons are super trustworthy, clean cut, and highly principled.

Do you guys ever think about how mormon men never stop saying that women are better than them and are angels and then when a woman who went to Juilliard, was an author, and a church leader, dies—the news coverage doesn't include her first name but calls her "wife of" this guy?

🪴When I was Mormon I knew a couple who loved to garden.

One sad realization I've had about Mormonism since leaving is more clearly seeing that the total dependence on God to direct your path leads to a mistrust or lack of confidence in your own decision-making and instincts.
