fly paper...it is a tremendous struggle to escape, and even when you do, you leave a little bit of you behind (when discussing this, my husband quipped "yeah, you leave your wallet behind...")

a mosquito. It sucks your money dry and when it is done with you, it flies to the next victim.

.. a septic tank.

All the really big chunks rise to the top.

The Truman Show. Just a giant bubble facade.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

is like...

...a birdcage


...a hamster wheel of busywork and nonsense

A fun house mirror. It distorts everything, leaving you with a warped view of yourself.

a turd in your soup bowl.

I was thinking of a chocolate coated turd. It might look and smell appealing, but once you dig in...well, you get the picture...

An optical illusion. You spend your whole life mesmerized by something that is just a waste of your time.

Cheap underwear.
It keeps tryin to creep up on you.

... that childhood friend who keeps trying to reconnect with you and won't take a hint.

...a house built upon sand.

...your spouse cheating on you.

...a spiritual North Korea.

YES!! Perfect way to say that...spiritual North Korea.

Oxygen

You get too much, you get too high!

Not enough, and you're going to die.

The government in the book 1984. The pigs in Animal Farm.

A redhead. Nuff said

"I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your church and I realized that you aren’t actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but your church does not. You move to an area and you proselyte, multiply and drive your members until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area where information is not free. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Religions are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we... are the cure."

A stair stepper. You climb and climb but never get anywhere.

A country club for old white rich people

the Mafia. Good luck on getting all the way out.

The Emerald City. (It isn't as sophisticated as the government in 1984.) The City Creek Mall, created by more-arrogant-than- smart-men, using victims' money to realize their own delusions of grandeur. The Mormon leaders know that it is all a hoax. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

It would be ridiculously funny--except the victims get hurt.

Jealously guarding your Iron Pyrite from nay-sayers.

Someone who $#!†s all over you,
then complains because you smell bad!

the man behind the curtain.

...awesome." A direct quote from my younger sister.

Spiritual Alzheimers slowly robbing you of . . . yourself.

Quicksand: it has nothing but what it can suck in.

A mirage on the horizon: It looks like there could be something there... but, as you proceed ahead, it never materializes - and you (learn to) see it for what it is. Nothing. And what it ain't: what it claims to be and do. And you sure don't need it. You can't take it with you, so why waste time-energy on it. Make yourself a mirage to TMC, and fanatical-family-fools that try to brand you, along with themselves, by wearing the mask and mark of the beast, and show them that [figuring it out] getting out is the real truth and only reality that exists. It is not real yet people still want the fairy tale.

TMC is like a person who never admits fault and never really looks for the solution to anyone's problem(s) but it's own. A selfish crybaby.

It is a ball without a hill or a boy. Completely stationary and utterly useless and irrelevant.

If something has to or should be done within a group or congregation, the SLC-Stake-Ward-other bureaucracy and the hoops and pecking disorders stain and clog dialoge, unity and progress. Ordinary everyone's hands are tied by the [ball and] chain of command so much that order/ reason/ worship are non-existent in TMC (unless you are talking about worship of the MC, who demands you worship it, in the most perverted way). Throw off the cuffs of Mormon rhetoric and put on the gloves of real life thought and action.

It is a bottomless pit. Many of us have seen it (and help-hope others), avoid it and point at it; hopefully more will be able to (wake up) get out and increasingly less will fall in the first place.

What everyone else said.....
It is an evil scheme alltogether

Jim Jones, warren jeffs & the FLDS, the moonies and the branch davidians....(with a lot more money)

The Titanic...

A vessel to separate the classes built by men stood on the backs of laborers who boasted of being the biggest, the best...


But they are only re-arranging deck chairs on a doomed voyage.

RMM

Not "like" - IS

- a subtle cult
- the ultimate child abuse

The church is like Alice in Wonderland.

Nothing is as it seems.

The fake leaders are always screaming Off with your head!
The mad hatter started this whole mess.
If you find a nice person, they keep disappearing when stressed.
The frame of reference for normal is constantly shifting and leaving everyone feeling off balance.

If you're lucky enough to wake up, you'll find it's nothing more than a weird fairy tale.

...dog shit on the bottom of my shoe.
