Induct them into the Fantasy Bureau of Investigation otherwise known as the FBI. Due to their strong ties to the community, aversion to leverage from addictions such as gambling, alcohol, and powdered pixie dust, and their strong belief in a centralized civil authority separate from their religious authority they make perfect allies for the ruling class.

One might even consider inducting them into the higher ranks of nobility, as they are exemplary models for the lower classes to follow.

Indeed, their private tithing of 10% of their income towards educational centres and charities through their religion on top of their taxes make them stabilizing influences that result in greater prosperity for whatever town they happen to have a significant presence in.

Alright, might as well make it official. Ask a /tg/ Mormon thread. Ask a Mormon anything.

I've... I've never even heard of this. It is true that Utah is the US Capital for Pyramid schemes though. You'll see a ton of adds for learning how to flip houses and get rich quick.

>Also, How seriously does the church tithe it's members?

10% of your total income straight up, usually paid in monthly installments, or however you prefer. We're not strict on it though, but we do have a yearly meeting where our bishop asks us if we're a full tithe payer, and most of us will feel guilty if the answer is no. That, plus monthly fast offerings, which assumed to be the average cost of one meal per household. The idea behind a monthly fast is the first Sunday of the month where we skip two meals and pay the difference to the church.
>>
>>50246343
Ah, the big one. Theoretically, According to our doctrine, we shouldn't be. Doctrine is ironclad on Marriage being between a man and a woman, but our doctrine also preaches tolerance and acceptance, even to those who do wrong. According to both scripture and teachings of the prophets we should be kind and accepting.

That's unfortunately not the case due to us living in such a bubble community. The Bible belt is straight up intolerant of gays, but Mormonville is worse.

Mormonville is passive-aggressive.

Every here is fake. Everyone here puts on masks and acts oh-so perfect. Go to any Mormon community outside of Utah, and you'll find Mormons who are *actually* nice. Honestly I hate the people here for that reason only.

Black people aren't evil. I was actually on first name terms with every black guy back in high school, all both of them.

In all seriousness though, that's really the only problem. It's not that we're racist, it's that lack of black culture in Utah means that we have absolutely no clue how to deal with them until we actually have that first encounter. This is only made worse by the fact that public education still covers the subject of civil rights extensively, essentially drilling into our heads on why racism is bad, but never actually giving us real world experience. Outside of Utah, hell, even the US, non-white Mormons make a substantial part of the churches numbers.

The missionaries of this "new cult" are, at worst, a little over-eager and a mite overbearing. Otherwise they've proven to be the very soul of erudite courtesy. The older ones simply seem happy and polite, and even enjoy a spirited philosophical debate as they walk.

They pose no threat. Indeed, the core values of their cult are self-sacrifice, humility, generosity, mercy and forgiveness. The trappings of their faith are strange to us, but so long as all are consenting and none are harmed, this is, again, no threat.

Are they paying their taxes on time? Yes? Than no laws are being broken, either. Simply inform them to steer clear of construction areas and make way for any guard patrols they encounter.

That literally does not exist. I mean, the closest thing I can imagine you're talking about is that Cain, the first Murderer, was marked and passed that mark down to his children, which some interpreted it to be the pigmentation of the skin, but I've no clue to the specifics.

Besides, we have a line drilled into our heads that "Man will be punished for his own sins, and not for Adam's transgressions." Basically advocating personal responsibility for one's actions, not that of his ancestors.

Spanish Fork was named after the Spanish Fork River, which itself comes from some Spanish explorers that traveled through there. Then Mormons settled it and kept the name.

Culture wise it's pretty much the start of the backwoods area of Utah, and is widely regarded by more Northern Utahns as the locale for hillbillies. Everyone has a sort of accent, pronouncing Mountains as "Moutains" and a drawl that leads most people to call it "Spanish Fark" in a derogatory manner

>>50246499
Honestly, we're on pretty good terms with most religions, unless they're outspoken against us. Protestants are really the ones that hate us. Large church displays, like the Nauvoo Pageant(A kind of play detailing the history of the Book of Mormon) will have protesters and devout anti-mormons. Again, the worst I've seen people treat non-mormons is that Passive Aggressive thing, which is bad in its own right, but nowhere near as outward.

I'm planning on having maybe two, tops. Personally, I think it's because Mormons are lewd. Heterosexual sex in the missionary position between a married man and a women for the purpose of procreation is literally all we get. So... we tend to do it a lot.

Elijah Abel. First black man ordained to the priesthood in the church way back in 1836. But other than that yes, your information is correct, there was a period of time black men were not ordained to the priesthood. Can't recall exact years off the top of my head.

Don't know what ward meeting house your hanging out it, but i've never heard of any stigma towards birth control. Abortion yes, but last i checked we had no problem with condoms or the pill. Or maybe that's just me, honestly sex doesn't come up that much at church.

Until 1978. Now, you have to understand that this was an extremely delicate period of time for both African Americans and Mormons. There was a lot of segregation on both sides at the time, even for Mormons. We don't know why it wasn't decided sooner, in fact there were many black LDS converts as well as people within the church hierarchy that pushed for it, but for whatever reason, the leaders of the church did not receive any revelation for African Americans to receive the priesthood until then. Personally, I believe it was to keep both parties safe, but I can really only speak for myself on that.

The red is Mormon controlled and the black have large Mormon populations. many people do not realize how much land the church controls, to put it another way if the US government ever collapsed the Mormons without missing a beat would have complete control over a large part of the country and would be able to feed/house there 15+mil people without assistance from the outside.

Jews sailing to the Americas and becoming the American Indians. You know that's just not what happened, right? I feel like you could get plenty of enrichment out of the moral teachings and sense of community out of Mormonism, but you kind of just have to know that Jews didn't sail across the ocean thousands of years ago.
>>
>>50247187
Not the guy you're asking the question to, but I've been living in Mormonville for these last couple months and feel that I can respond to this. It's pretty much the core issue of Mormonism, aside from its overall repressive nature and its general tendency of stunting the growth of its members. The LDS Church likes to compound faith upon itself. I've heard from missionaries and regular members alike that if a single core belief of their's is wrong, then the whole religion is wrong and pointless. Basically, you have to believe that ancient Jews built boats and sailed to America or believe in nothing at all. This means that when a Mormon is faced with evidence that the Book of Mormon is not a true historical record, for instance, they have two options: reject what they've been taught, at which point the whole house of cards comes tumbling down and (especially if they are a native Utahan who was raised Mormon) are faced with their entire life being a lie, (as indeed a great portion of these people's lives revolves around or is done in reference to the church) at which point many choose to reject the religion and the lifestyle; or they can reject whatever evidence contradicts their beliefs such that they might go about their day without their world being flipped upside down, which leaves you with either stubborn belief or just plain doublethink.

I have no problem with Mormons as people, most of them are really as nice as everyone says that they are, which is why it is so sad when their church takes such wonderful individuals and conditions them into strict conformity and sometimes utter detachment from reality.

I'd point out if your willing to believe that God smote the Egyptians, flooded the world, and that his son came back to life after three days dead, I really don't see why thinking some Jews went to America is such a stretch. I don't think there was nobody there before them, I do believe they went, and after that they did pretty well for themselves, and that yes over generations of breedong with and influencing the natives their descendants eventually became the Indians. I mean that's just my head cannon, it's not a difinative church doctrine, but it makes sense to me at least.

Don't worry your not gonna start nothing. We know we aren't perfect. Yeah, that was messed up, and wrong. So far as I know those involved later faced censure but I admit I'm not sure about that. I don't want to make excuses, but these were people who had been driven from their homes several times, and eventually forced onto an area considered at the time to be worthless. They were pretty wary of outsiders, and unfortunately this xenophobia lead to a completely unwarranted tradgedy for which we are entirely culpable.

They tried to genecide for reasons that I actually admit make sense, to a degree. See the thing is we'd all flood in, more coming everyday. Sure we are nice, industrious, and don't cause trouble, but we are different. We are different, we immigrated from somewhere else, and suddenly there are enough of us in one area to have significant influence on elections. The reasons were politial more than anything, they were afraid of us dominating them politically and this fear was compounded by propaganda from individuals who thought we were heretical. I don't really blame them for not liking us, i do think it was messed up though. There were probably better ways they could have dealt with it.

/tg/ has a remarkable ability to talk about controversial topics with a level head. Largely, I think, because RPGs teach us to consider multiple viewpoints. Learning to RP as people who are totally different than you is sort sugar pill version of empathy, and GMs have to do that in spades.

Most people, when they get asked "what if your entire ideology was wrong?" get defensive. /tg/ has a higher than normal population of people who legitimately reply with "yes, what if?" and then start imagining.

This doesn't mean we don't have anons with extreme views. I'm sure we have our ultraconservatives just as much as our bleeding heart liberals. But we tend not to get all assholy about it.

It almost feels like the few times we do get shitposting of that flavor, its a crossboard poster or a newfag that hasn't learned to chill out yet.

It can definitely be, fear of the unknown is a powerful tool. And when that unknwon is closing in fast on your house and home you can damn well say I'd be fearful enough to be roused into taking up arms and kicking them out.

Yep. Stranger Danger is a powerful card to play. It only takes a couple of genuinely scared people (or hateful assholes) to whip up a community into a frenzy against the scary other people and their satanic ways.

Its harder these days. We have so much communication and information now that convincing people that another group is literally subhuman made more difficult by the fact that you can play video games with them on xbox and visit their instagram pages.

It still happens, though, because people scare easy. And because there are groups out there that profit from convincing scared people to be more scared. You can make a lot of reliable money on selling fear.

10 percent tithing, which goes to church upkeep and charity, in addition to fast offerings which are specifically for feeding the poor, and voluntary donations to church charities. The church doesn't like to make a big deal about it, but we actually do a ton of charity in concert with other groups. The church has been in the green financially for a long long time.

US spending is insane. Not the amount but that is as well, but the reasoning behind it.

You have more shit than any other non-nuclear power can match several times over. You don't need more toys.

When 2 sides have nukes you still don't need more toys because everything is just finger puppets to keep you entertained whilst people try to think of a reason and stall for time to not use the nukes.

Why can't people be sensible like Britain and just sit on a nightmare fuel biological weapons stock pile. Takes up much less space and so much cheaper to maintain.

I find Mormon faith interesting.

It is neat to see a modern day mystery cult.

We call em Jay dubs, and there really aren't very many in Utah. Decent number in Idaho though. They drive my uncle crazy.

They have been known to murder a few people here and there.

Out of curiosity what is your understanding of our doctrine.

You have any questions you wanna ask to flesh them out for your setting?

>The church has been in the green financially for a long long time.
Almost all churches in the US are, religion is huge business there - and being totally tax free (and not needing to disclose income at all, unlike some other countries) helps with that.

Which is also how Scientology exists and can afford its army of lawyers.

>Drive people crazy
Sounds definetly like them, although we have an army of old ladys devoted to be the ones that spread it. They are pretty nice and polite.

>>50252805

Honestly I get that we do the same thing, or at least a similar thing, but I like to think we are a little more civil about it.

We basically just keep making murder machines to give people manufacturing jobs.

One of these days we are going to build a giant robot armed with X-ray cannons. It will be a boondoggle that can barely walk, is easily destroyed by missiles strikes, and can shoot planes and drones out of the sky almost instantly, presuming it is facing the right direction.

And we will keep building them. We will have so many of them that we will leave them to rust along our borders and off of our shores, like a fence of metal Colossi, standing unmanned but vigilant until they fall apart.

And we will keep building them, despite the fact that we don't need them, because it keeps a bunch of people in Wyoming employed.

If we could just devote the same level of manufacturing determination to spacecraft and exploration, we would own Mars by now. Its more expensive per unit, but at least we would get some kind of benefit to it instead of dumping unused battle tanks in the desert to serve as lizard dens.

Mormons are not a thing in Spain, so i can't really say.

Less about docterine and more of practice. The secret names, the secret rights borrowed from freemasons, and the inner temple thing are all traits common to mystery cults. I don't mean cult in a derogatory way, but as a description.

Girl I'm dating right now is an ex-Mormon. She was born into Mormonism through her mom, and she says they did some pretty strange things. They had some sort of ritual where people in robes would chant something in a dark room, and that really freaked her out enough to try and distance herself from it.

She's an atheist now, but when I bring up the fact that i'm religious, she seems oddly okay with that.

The king requests the party eradicate a new cult. They are well-mannered, soft spoken, clean shaven people with wholesome family values. However, they seem to think Skub is pretty great. How does the party respond?

>>50253012
Hey, could you maybe post her name, or just a general adress? I don't want to do anything weird y'know, just wanna know what region y'all in so I can track it down with some local cult info.

So she's an atheist but not a douchebag?
We're more common than you think, anon.

So they're basically freemasons lite?
Why do people support them again?

Weren't they also pacifists and generally in favour of not genociding the non-imigrant American nations during a time when everybody from the Founding Fathers downwards was looking foward to becoming rich by murdering them?

I live in Utah and can therefore tell you that Mormons are not beautiful. They're fat old men and women. If you see a beautiful Mormon than they're trying to honeydick you.

What do you mean by honeydicking me? You mean make me convert or something? I mean it's pretty smart to do that in all honesty.

Japanese comic called Quick Start, about a high school gaming club and their troubles and adventures. Cute girls doing traditional game things.

That particular image is an edit, replacing the original test with a /tg/ meme. The original panel is mentioning that eyebrows chick's dashing swashbuckler with a revenge backstory is, in fact, a dinosaur man.

As in keeping with japanese tradition, the GM reacts accordingly to the news.

In my mind, John Browning is one of the greatest men to ever live, which is why I own both a Hi-Power and a 1911.

Also the fact that they're just really, really good guns.
