Certificate Issues Fixed!


Thanks Cap'n Salty & the even Saltier Crew.

Whoo hoo!

Yep. Any link I click, I have to go through the warning to open that link. If I click on "Board Index," I have to dance through the warning. When I clicked the link to respond here, I had to do it again. It's super annoying. I can't figure out how to turn it off. Wow! That's strange. I got a warnin...

(and not because it will furnish raw materials for the Soylent Green snack factory in Linden, Utah).

In other words they tow the line trying not to offend anyone on either side, whilst trying to keep as many members inside as possible. Duplicitous really.

Yep. Namby pamby. Wishy-washy. Don't take a real stand on much of anything.

When I tried to come here today, I got a warning that this site might be unsafe and might try to steal my info, etc. - or it could just be that some online certificate expired. 🙄 I pushed through anyway, because I know this site isn't one to ask for credit cards and all that. Anyway, I thought I wou...

It is always a comfort to hear that someone decides not to take the drastic step of taking their life, as it has a long-lasting consequences for the living left behind. I've been suicidal many times. The main thing stopping me was the idea that God would be mad at me - and that it would not cause m...

Many NDE survivors come back with gifts, like increased IQ, skills in science, art, or music. That one really has scientists baffled. You are clinically dead for extended time and you come back smarter and better than you were? It might be worth it to have an NDE if I came back smarter or better - ...

It would be just living your life, trying to be a good person and when you die- that's it. No heaven, hell or anything in-between. Good people die all the time, and if they are not religious, you miss them- at least I do. Love is not bound by any religious belief or disbelief, either one. To be fra...

I do, but not much. I find my weakness is the sugary alcohols, which leave me with anxiety and depression the next day if I have very much (the unflavored/unsweetened ones are usually quite nasty). I think it's more the sugar than the alcohol. At this point, I've severely limited alcohol intake for ...

If you got the tattoos without guilt, it counts in my book.

I think not out to your family is caring about them and their reaction, not anything to do with the corp and what it can or will do to you - or if the God they claim as their own will punish you for getting the tats.

I'm still trying to figure out how do you have excess tithes AND poor people?

The only shred of positive I see from this is somewhere someone said this may (long shot) be a starting point for a stronger class action lawsuit where exmembers could try and get their tithing back based on the church’s now established record of dishonesty. (Not likely, but maybe a step in the rig...

That said, I was just thinking the other day about what a relief it was when I crossed a threshold and all of the Mormon pressure melted away. It's been long enough that I can't really feel that contrast anymore but I can still remember it. It really is nice to have that gone. I am so glad I am no ...

Yesterday was a beer with Kishkuman! He says to say hello!

My preview shows a weird sign (ankh?) between the person waving and the hand waving, but I only put a space in to separate the two emojis. So, if it shows up in the posted comment, it wasn't me who put it there.

♩ Well you can tell everyone I'm a unruly child That I wanted to sin, that my parties are wild I don't care anymore ♫ Exactly. I went to Walmart today, to the liquor part, and as I walked around looking for what I wanted, I was thinking that I didn't care if anyone saw me (not that I know many peop...

I care. I care that the church crumbles and disappears into the dustbin of history.

I honestly believe it is in the process of crumbling right now.

"How do you label yourself regarding your belief?" A few years ago, I called myself a Pagan Christian (or Christian Pagan), but I presently have no label for myself. I believe in God. I believe the Book of Mormon is from God (and blasts the current leaders of the LDS Church). I believe in Jesus as t...

One other thing that may be noteworthy... female missionaries can wear pants! Not just on P-days but on regular days when they are out working. I don't know about Sundays, but I'm guessing they're expected to don a dress on the sabbath. I wish they'd done that when I was on a mission (Michigan). It...
