Re: "Letting Go of God" by Julia Sweeney

This was absolutely amazing. Well performed. I don’t know how she memorized 2+ hours of content like that.
The same faith questions she went through, I have gone through.

Re: What is the most harmful lie the Church has perpetrated?

That you must obey and sacrifice for some guy in Salt Lake City because he has a direct hotline to God. That's the one right there - the unquestioned obedience is to me the most harmful because IMO it leads to all of those other issues mentioned above. I’ve been thing about this for a few days and I ...

Re: Following leaders

I can see where this is headed with the temporary commandments Oaks is teeing up. He will get rid of coffee and tea from the WoW. The church will then create a new coffee company called Deseret Brew. The church will modify one of the small classrooms in each church house to be a small storefront ...

Re: What is the most harmful lie the Church has perpetrated?

I have a few:
- Blacks and priesthood/ temple ban
- Lamanite Placement Program
- Abuse Hotline is to help the victim
- If you have to choose between feeding your children or paying tithing, pay your tithing.

Re: Heretic Movie

I've been looking forward to this one and plan to watch it later this week with a (still fully active) friend. Glad to hear it's worth seeing. Please let us know how your active friend reacts to the movie. I know this type of movie is right in the NOM and Ex Mormon wheelhouse. But I am very ...

Re: Why People Quit Religion and How They Find Meaning Again

This was a great article. It seems to not be specific for one type of religion but rather for people of all religions who lose faith.

Re: Ward and Stake Combining

It looks like my ward and a neighboring ward are combining, in addition to my stake and a neighboring stake combining. Attendance has been pretty sparse since covid, so this is an overdue change. This is in Salt Lake County. I'm not looking forward to a bunch of new faces who may not know to just ...

Re: Beards, etc.

Is the beard thing for bishoprics a cultural tradition? Or is there a call out in the Bishops guide that says they can’t have a beard?

Re: Changes in garments

This appears to be hitting the TBMs as hard as the Covid pandemic. Boomers have been complaining since the church went to the two piece garment set. Gen X has joined the Boomers in suggesting how slutty the new shoulder porn garments look. Millennials and Gen Z don’t care what others think. The new d ...

Re: 2023 PRRI Census of American Religion

This is a fascinating survey, and offers so many angles to view religion in the United States. For me it was fascinating to view the median age of the various religious groups. I was surprised that LDS median age went from 44 to 42. This is the opposite of what I'm seeing in the Salt Lake Valley ...

Re: Did I get excommunicated?

It appears in preparation for the transfer of power from the mostly dead Nelson to the nearly dead Oaks, a swarm of Russian Hackers who happen to be Mormon, but not fully living the Word of Wisdom as well as not paying tithing on their extortion activities, have been commissioned by Oaks to hack ...

This policy seems like it is coming from Oaks. Maybe he has taken control of the old Nash and is driving it to destruction
