NOM

I've never earned God's love. I can't, because I'm mortal (screw up a lot). He loves me because he is God.

I wish that was taught: He loves me because he is God, not because I've done anything to merit it.

Hi everybody! I just popped in to leave this: :D I only watched Michael Strong's talk, because he's my neighbor's son. I was surprised he told the story about killing someone on his mission. It all turned out just dandy though, the church got him out of jail and gave the widow $25K. Money is always ...

I did not expect something like that! Who said this? Soares?

5 minutes and 14 secs.

That's got to be a record. At least during the last two or three decades.

Amen to that!

Maybe he was watching it from his home?

Using a tiny kite to fly to the moon?

Hey Ya'll It's NOMference eve, again! We missed each other last fall. And honest to Gods who thought Rusty was still gonna be alive for this on? Not me. I mean I guess they can just AI the sh!t out of him or something. I'm sure whatever they do will be terrible. So if you are stuck watching or ...

Late to the comment game. When Stephenson started up about saying the long-form name of the church and gushing over the logo and other superficial things, I thought here we go... I'll just say that I find it odd that he admitted that the one true church has really sucked at celebrating this whole ...

That's what I was thinking This has to be an April Fool's joke.

That's really, really rough!

Sending prayers their way.

My mom is disgusted by Trump, but she just couldn't vote for Biden. When I reminded her that Biden wasn't running she said, "you know what I mean". The pretend problems are very real to them. It's a tough nut to crack. I voted third party in this election and in the previous one. I figured it was ...

I should have. I need to hang out here more often. You guys were a close fit when it was difficult to find a fit for me in my search for "family" after I became less and less enamored with the LDS Church.

Does anyone know if the church provided any help on getting clean water for Zimbabwe? "We share what we have" suggests that they could have solved the entire problem with the snap of their finders. I would feel better if I could learn that they raised one (finger, that is). I was thinking about ...

Yep

(Late reply; I rarely come over here nowadays.)

I couldn’t really follow, because my husband is listening on his phone in the other room, but Oaks talk was one of his worst ever. He went so far overboard on the word “covenant”, that it started to sound just ridiculous, like every third to every other word, and he emphasized it, like maybe he is a ...

I came over here specifically to read the NOMference comments. Thanks, MoPag. I appreciate it, even though I rarely come here nowadays.

How has this man made it through his life without getting his a$$ beat on the daily? I mean... :lol: tell us you are a narcissistic ass without using those words... Both of you are really making me wonder what these men said (or was it only one man?). Same one. He talked about sitting behind and ...
