Thanks Hagoth for your reply. That does give me some hope. I think we're similar in that I also usually process things empirically. I made the mistake a couple times of bringing up truth claim issues with my wife and she flat out told me she doesn't care if it's true. That ended the conversation. Fo...

oh, and just to clarify, i'm only out to her and not my kids or other family. And behaviorally nothing has really changed. I am still a full participant.

A question for those of you who have been at your disaffection for a long time, and whose spouses are still fully TBM: Do you feel you've reached a point where your spouse has accepted your position? Not agreed with, but accepted? I am weary of being a disappointment. I don't expect or need my wife ...

Thanks for your responses everyone. I think some of my confusion is that in my mormon bubble i've never been exposed to faiths that have a more developed and rigorous theology, so i really have no foundation to understand the claim that Mormonism lacks it. I previously would have equated theology wi...

Hi fellow Nommies,

Several times now i've seen the assertion in post-Mormon circles that Mormonism has no theology.

It's a fascinating statement that I don't really understand. Can anyone enlighten me?

thanks!

Hey everyone, It’s been ages (years I’m sure) since I posted but today I had an experience that has pulled me out of lurker status... I’m the financial clerk and just met with the bishop to do tithing and cut a few checks. He mentioned that since all this pandemic stuff has started he’s seeing an up...

-1000 to anyone who used the phrase ‘covenant path’ this conference. I’m going to puke if I hear that phrase again. It’s as bad as ‘tender mercies’

I'm hoping for reports of some heavenly manifestations or spiritual outpouring that will make LDS conference look like an accountants convention by comparison. If General Conference is the standard the bar is set quite low. There will be baptisms at the river (the weather is spectacular )and lots o...

Mithryn made a great blog post about this with a timeline (and links to sources if you're so inclined): https://exploringmormonism.com/bishops-interview-timeline/ I find it most interesting that 1) they started very early on, and 2) they've almost exclusively grown in length and overreach over time...

Great article! Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about worthiness interviews and their origin. I wondered if these interviews are unique to Mormonism because I’ve never heard of them in connection to any other faith group. I did a google search and all references came up with Mormon related links. I...

The main focus is not education, that is only a positive byproduct and a front. The main focus is raising up faithful, tithing paying people who can continue the tradition. this. I totally agree that the while the education quality at BYU may be (mostly) high, its main purpose is to propagate the c...

Yeah talk about the church thinking the world revolves around it...my favorite lately is the claim that the internet was invented to propagate the gospel and accelerate family history work. Whew what a relief to know that! I always wondered what good the internet could be...
