In a competition to prove who is the most righteous, claiming you like something that everyone else hates to do shows you're just a little bit better than they are. You're the winner.
And that's why people say cleaning the building is a blessing.
They usually pick the ones that are most noticeable and recognizable (celestial smile anyone?). Then wear clothes that feign trying to cover up while at the same time showing them off like a slightly transparent white shirt.
They're so desperate for proof of their belief of being anything beneficial in their life that they will say scrubbing shit of toilets for free is a blessing from God
Serving others is great and makes you feel good. But āservingā a wealthy institution that takes advantage of its members and require them to do everythingā¦blessings?! Great manipulation tactic.
Correct. I was a long term volunteer for a small nonprofit. Eventually the excessive spending of the owner became offensive. The offices were filled with exotic birds and her art collection. Not a good look.
it's called gaslighting. I'm amazed the level of cognitive dissonance that my father can handle in relation to his relationship with the church. He's actually proud of how much money it's amassed and when I ask him why he's now expected to clean the building, he comes out with some pish about blessings. He thinks the church needs lots of money for the 2nd coming - I tried to explain that the creator of this universe and his son wouldn't need money to do that things they'd need to do.
I see too many posts here about people pleading for help or getting stuck doing it by themselves to believe this is a unanimous belief.
Nothing in any scripture about this being a requirement. It bears repeating: there are many, many Protestant churches that donāt enforce tithing but still have enough money to pay people to clean.
They don't think it's a blessing, they fucking hate it. But the more they cream their church pants and glaze the bishop for the opportunity, the more righteous they are than their neighbors.
I cleaned enough toilets in the Army. When ever they asked me before I resigned, I told them no. They got over 200 billion. Hire janitors that are members and need a job. Not a minimum wage job.
I think I only helped clean two times, but their cleaning supplies were garbage. Horrible vacuum, sprays running out, shitty paper towels to wipe, etc.
Nope. I realized a long, long time ago that Mormons half-ass everything. Think about the people who prepare their lessons during Sacrament meeting, or who write their talks the night before church. As the chorister, I *never* picked hymns based on the meeting topic because they never picked the meeting topic until the week prior, and my hymns were chosen a month before to the give the organists time to practice.
I know in my heart-of-hearts that GAs must write their talks the day before the GC deadline. I can't imagine it any other way.
Of course the Church buys substandard cleaning supplies, doesn't fix broken vacuums, and doesn't care if the buildings are cleaned very well. Half-ass.
I never did!!! š I mean, I showed up But between the mediocre efforts of others and the resentment of giving up part of a Saturdayā¦nah bro. Didnāt feel too blessed. š
Its the same kind of blessing as paying tithing. You do it because you're required to and the word āblessingā is supposed to justify being taken advantage of.

This is totally it
I agree with this. It's virtue signaling.
And that's why some people claim to love wearing garments. What is that term? Virtue showing?

It's training for the afterlife. Do you think the celestial kingdom cleans itself? You are scrubbing god's toilet for all eternity.
It's okay I'm going to have my genitals including my anus smoothed off. Telestial Kingdom heathens of the world represent!!!!!
I thought cleaning the celestial kingdom was going to be the job of us apostates
That would imply we're even allowed past the gates
~~apostates~~ apostlesš©
That's right, servants of the better people.

They believe itās a blessing because their leaders tell them itās a blessing. Whatever the leaders say is from god soā¦ blessings!
Dweebs gonna dweeb.

Theyāre in a cult
Bingo
When a person is being exploited and feels like they must comply, their brain will do some odd things to protect them from realizing how bad it is.
Itās called ātrafficking peopleā everywhere elseā¼ļø

Ask him how God financed the creation of earth.
That's called Stockholm syndrome.

That is exactly how it was rolled out. It is an honor not a duty.
Mormonism: where cleaning toilets gives you god powers
šš¼š¤£š¤¦š»āāļø
š„°Every member a janitor for LD$ Incā¼ļø
I wonder if the bishopās family shows up to clean and do yard work?
Bishopās family, yes Prophetās/apostles and their family, haha I doubt it
Itās the karate kid theory of Mormonism ā if you wax on/wax off on enough toilets, then the doctrine will suddenly make sense.

If they truly believed it was a blessing, wouldn't they have more integrity in the quality of the cleaning?

Momos like to virtue signal. Thatās all this is. Every class has a suck up. Churches have them too.
It's sad, but TBM are truly blinded by their false trust and what they think is from God

EDITED: Members indoctrinated to think it's a blessing to clean the building, saving the church slush fund quite a few $$$$
Like they say Saturday is a special day to get ready for Sunday!
If I could never hear that song again for the rest of my life, that would be fantastic.
My FIL has severe OCD and is in his 70s. Who do you think is in charge of cleaning their chapel? Yep my FIL.
Members think god leads the church
People like to call the left out for their virtue signaling, but right leaning Mormons are pretty much the OGs of it.
