Mormons Missionaries Don't Only Preaching, But Also Picking Trashes Off Phnom Penh's Street

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Did you have people running up & down the isles at the tent revivals? Speaking in tongues?
Were you saved by the blood of the lamb?
Are you now a sinner forever lost in the world?

No b-day parties lmao, no though. But seriously it was the contradicting and changing doctrine. I couldn't except the line, "were not meant to know all of gods mystery" b/s.

My best friend was in an abusive marriage and ended up having an affair. I was called in to see the pastor and was told in no uncertain terms to end my friendship with her or I would be going to hell.
I told them I'd rather be in hell with her than in heaven with a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

That was the final straw - I left and never went back.

The abuse I experienced from the church was comparable to an abusive spouse - manipulation, emotional blackmail, smoke and mirrors and psycho-babble mumbo jumbo - all wrapped in a package that looks like love, joy, acceptance and peace from the outside but once you get sucked in, it's about becoming their perfect little cookie-cutter tithe-paying obedient little member.
Makes me sick.

Mormonism is a loopy belief system but produces some very fine and decent people.

The LDS Church is highly-esteemed by HE - they provided 1,500 wheelchairs to this
country.

I can embrace polygamy / polyamory but not for the same reasons :)

The LDS does have an impressive ancestral data bank. You can do basic searches for free then a paid subscription will net you (possibly)many documents about your american heritage.

Buy signing on you have agreed to be baptized in name only. Hallelujah!
