TLDR: I just found out that my nephew was just sent home from Brazil because he and his companion watched carnival back in February, and now his bishop wants to disfellowship him.

Apparently he and his companion decided it was their last chance to experience Carnival so they spent an entire day watching it and dancing in the streets, and they consumed some drinks which may have been “spiked,” but they’re not sure.

And apparently a new convert innocently told someone that he bumped into the elders during carnival back in February and it quickly got back to the mission president.

So now that he is back home, my TBM brother and his wife are livid and they’ve been yelling at him. And his local bishop wants to disfellowship because he’s convinced he drank and “broke the law of chastity.”

So now my nephew is like, if I get disfellowshipped, I’m leaving the church, and my brother is losing his mind.

My Indian neighbor's daughter is dating a Mormon boy in high school and apparently they had sex. So his parents intervened and they told them they need to get married as soon as they graduate highschool and that she needs to convert.

So the poor girl converted and got baptized. But then they found out that she does Bollywood dancing so they told her that "Hindu dancing" is a form of devil worship and idolatry and that she needs to stop.

And now, the bishop in our local ward wants to give her a blessing to ward off any "evil influence" from the Bollywood dancing. They are also telling her that her parents are a bad influence because they worship idols and that she should try to convert them or separate from them.

My neighbor is beside himself and he asked me for help since I used to be a Mormon. I'm at a loss for words.

So I was at the grocery store in Washington DC and four sister missionaries passed me in the isle. They were very nice and each one said hi with a big smile.

After they passed me one of them says to the others: Oh my goodness, so disgusting. And the others responded: right?!! And one of them added: so gross.

I was shocked because I’d just come back from work and was still in my suit, clean-shaven, and well groomed. But then I looked at my cart and it had a bottle of wine and a bottle of Starbucks ice coffee, amongst other food items.

Edit: I thought it was a funny story to share, and it reminded me of Moridor. Good times
