Re: NOM needs to be a safe place
Yes, this should be a safe place. If someone has bad feelings toward any member of this circle, they should take them to mormondialogue.org.

Re: Teaching the wrong stuff
So, if the issue is not necessarily the guns, but mental health, why is mental health much worse in general across the USA than in the 1970s and 1980s?

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
I have Mormon cooking questions, too. 1) do you have recommended cooking wines? I need to get some that aren’t the kind from the Utah grocery store loaded with salt. 2) Is it okay to bring a good tiramisu to a ward function? 3) is it still a thing to add ground up pinto beans to zucchini bread? See...

Re: Tithe or you'll be burned?
Can you imagine if other charitable organizations acted like the church does? March of Dimes: if you do not donate 10% of your income to our cause, you will burn in hell. St. Jude’s: if you do not donate 10% of your income to children’s cancer research, God will curse your children and grandchildren...

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women
I find it odd that few women called to the general boards of primary, Relief Society and Young Women are the stay-at-home moms that the church has proclaimed women should be. They do not follow the prescribed path.

The church and Equal Rights for women
Can someone please remind me of the church’s stance on ERA from the 1970s and if the stance has changed since then?

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
I love that. I would add… Mormonism is a time consuming lifestyle made up of a series of non-standardized rules that each church member and leader personally interprets differently and then expects everyone else to abide by their own interpretation, that ever so slowly evolves from generation to ge...

How do you define Mormonism?
I’ve been thinking about how I define Mormonism and have settled on this:
Mormonism is a series of non-standardized rules that each church member and leader personally interprets differently and then expects everyone else to abide by their own interpretation.
How would you define Mormonism?

Book of Abraham Apologetics History
I’m wondering if there is a timeline or account of when LDS apologetics regarding the Book of Abraham started changing their insistence that it was literally written by Abraham to realizing that the book had nothing to do with Abraham….but instead was a common scroll. When did church Egyptologists s...

I found him rather annoying on his rant. It seems like he is defending Tim Ballard without knowing the whole picture. I think he has been manipulated

Re: 36 new missions created - why?
My understanding is that service missionaries also report to the mission presidents in the areas they serve. More missions means fewer missionaries per mission president to oversee.

Re: Lot's Daughters
Did I read that this was because Lot’s son did drag shows on the weekends? Oh, wait, that was Brigham Young’s son. I wonder what this story was trying to convey back in the day. I do not believe most of the Bible stories to be true. Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark, there were all fables passed down a...

Re: Fight The New Drug
I haven’t read many of the replies to this topic, but I find the statement that Porn is the new drug to be repulsive. I think is is a manufactured “drug”. There are multiple bad things about porn, don’t get me wrong. I believe pornography is an industry. It sometimes takes advantage of people, parti...

Re: Garments always hanging out and it drives me nuts
Pet peeve: I really dislike the look of men wearing the Gs tops that have the full neck and then wear a t-shirt and the garments stick up about a half inch above the t-shirt.
