NOM

So let me get this straight, bishops and high counselors and stake president are all volunteers? Therefore, general authorities are somehow not volunteers because they are paid. A volunteer is unpaid while a non-volunteer is paid. So does that settle the argument of whether or not general authoritie...

Do you think Dallin Oaks controls all of the thought and discussion points around the gays for all of the GAs? I wouldn’t be surprised if their discussions are all scripted and they have stay within the gay boundaries that Oaks has circumscribed.

Hmm...if even half of what John Dehlin claims to have found out about this guy is true, he is a real piece of work: https://www.mormonstories.org/podcast/steven-murdock/ All those years I thought the bishop could read my mind while I was in his office, and here this guy gets away with all kinds of ...

I suspect Mr. Oak’s death at some point in the future will be highly celebrated, similar to BKP.

Welcome to NOM. We have all been in your exact position. My anger toward the church is subsiding a bit, but not a lot. I still feel deceived. I have a TBM wife and play the role of good Mormon husband, but only go to church 1-2 times per month. The link to Rock Waterman’s article on tithing has alre...

In don’t watch Netflix as my kids are always on it. Amazon Prime favorites:
Bosch
Jack Ryan
Goliath
Marvelous Mrs. Maisal

They were explained as “sweeping changes”.
Sweeping indeed.

This is great

I think the stupor of thought you have is because you were probably hoping to finish your BP counselor job and then check out. Now you’ve got another few years. Some ideas: Teach lessons from the gospel topics essays. Hold monthly open meetings to discuss doubts and other problems most people are af...

The big irony is that everyone outside of Mormonism knows how healthy tea is. It’s almost like if the church came out and said that water is bad and must be avoided Ike the plague. Our church is looking more like the cult it is. This should really help the church expand in Asia.

Thanks for posting this Hermey. I thought it was a great article, and it really sheds a bad light on the Mormon culture.

This is great. It just makes us look more cultish.
May the Mormon cult live on!

I will likely have to take this training. I doubt it is anywhere close to the BSA training. I also doubt a background check is required either.
Still sounds lame.

I read somewhere on Reddit that Lois Smart filed for divorce on July 5 ( something like that). So the family has been dealing with this for more than a month prior to him being outed to the world. I also read a statement from Elizabeth that was very supporting of her father and mother and family. It...

The father of Elizabeth Smart has come out as gay. A very good article in the Deseret news explains. Interesting, it speaks of him going through a change of beliefs (in the church it seems) that led to him being able to come out. Discuss. https://www.deseret.com/2019/8/15/20807894/ed-smart-father-of...

The WoW is a law of health. Can someone explain to me what is unhealthy in tea that would exclude it from drinking?

Is coach kim local or syndicated?

Does anyone have a funny NOM bumper sticker on their car? I’ve seen several funny Darwin, Jesus fish, toxic, and other stickers. What is your favorite?

I listened to the presentation and lived it. Thank you for sharing and revealing yourself. I’ve read a few of your articles on Rational Faith.

I just saw an article on KSL about a power outage. Didn’t really read much though.
How long before people start saying it was Satan trying to disrupt the efforts of the church?
