Patriarchal blessing
Can we talk about how this "blessing" is utter bullshit and is a just a vague copy and paste obedience tactic within the church.
"Honor your mother and father."
"These blessings will be yours as long as you are faithful"
I seriously didn't even recognize how fake it was until after I left. My patriarch asked me if I had anything specific I wanted to know from my Heavenly Father. OF COURSE, he would just slide that personal tidbit in to make it feel more realistic and unique to me. What a crock of shit. Honestly, I don't even know how I thought this religion was "true". What a joke.
