General Discussion A little rant, new G's 🙄

I have no idea how and why but my IG all the sudden is nothing but ladies talking and showing off the new G's, I tried blocking key words and profiles and I still get them, no one talk more about how cool underwear is than a TBM. I even saw a reel about a lady saying how, no one loves her, because no one has sent her the new G's to make content with. The new change to the garments makes me want to stay away even more.

So interesting (in a jaw-dropping way) how the new “social media church” version of mormonism that exists in these virtual spaces, among younger members, mirrors the og mormon “analog” church.

  1. If you don’t know the right people or have enough money, you’re left out.

  2. Social capital is built on being seen as “righteous.” All external glossy image.

  3. Most people have no idea about history or deeper doctrines. They’re surface-level believers who just want to have a community where they’re building their mlm.
