NOM

It’s really hard to bring this up without sounding like you’re being critical of bishops in general and attacking that bishop who does things by the book and genuinely wants to just teach and serve. Everyone I’ve attempted conversation with about it gets very defensive because they’re thinking of th...

Mixed feelings like others here: Since I was *elect* and was called to a foreign mission, I learned a new language and culture. That was cool. Second, I really did learn to love people who were very different from me there. I am very grateful for that. But, I regret all the time I spent worrying/ago...

I didn't share my faith crisis with DW until I was well into in - like several years. When I finally told her, she was way more upset that I didn't share my struggles with her than the fact that I was doubting the church.

After checking the old URL for the 100th time, I checked Reddit. Thank you all who have brought it back!!! Reddit is good for spreading disaffected Mormon news but I really don't like the predominant tone there. I dunno maybe it's just because I'm not a millennial.
