Had I known what I knew now I would have dropped out of Primary. BUT since I didn't have the benefits of time travel or perfect foresight, I would not change my life. Much of it has been very bumpy, but it is the journey that has made me who I am. My experiences in Mormonism and working my way out ...

Just sayin'....

Yessss!! Hearing his account of that journey was the highlight of the evening for me. Glad I hadn't left early.

"Alex, I'll take 'nine stories that never happened' for a $1,000 please."

Psilocybin is about as toxic and addictive as skim milk. :shock: :lol: Thanks again for reaching out, Hagoth. I'm so glad I went. It was really interesting. The part I enjoyed the most was at the very end when Stamets shared his most meaningful (or whatever) journey. I was just blown away. Any idea...

RR, I just gotta say--that, was f*cking beautiful.


edited to add: And it helps give people hope.

This thread is hilarious! Oh, and as for Team Edward or Team Jacob, my wife will take Team Lewis Hamilton. :shock: :lol: She loves to watch F1. If my wife wants a life size cutout of Lewis or Chris Hemsworth--wall, ceiling, or whatever, I am totally good with that. Christmas is approaching; am searc...

Here's an oldie but goodie (exmo resignation) from a few years ago. I desire all to partake....

It was a perfect way to ki...

... but many prefer to teach Church History by sprinkling. .

It's not just THAT they're sprinkling, it's WHAT they're sprinkling:

Sometimes they fling it. It hits the fan. It's a real mess.

This isn't really applicable towards dealing with one's spouse, but it is towards extended family. My wife (full on TBM at the time) and I kept my faith journey a secret from all of her family for four years. We both decided that was better than dealing with the drama-llamas. I wanted to us both to ...

We've been remodeling our house and we made one of our bathrooms into a sort of a religious shrine, with stuff like a framed leaf from the bodhi tree, robe hangers shaped like hands in different mudra positions, a porcelain Buddha, etc. Mrs. Hagoth was showing a TBM friend around and she was very c...

CAN WE FIX IT???



(I don't even think Bob and all the tool-belts in the world can fix LDS-inc. and it's temples.)

I found my use of alcohol is way down since I got my medical cannabis card. We were not heavy drinkers before, like 1-2 hard drinks per month, 1-2 glasses of wine or beers per week, but now it's about half that... Same here. I enjoy an occasional cocktail now and then or a glass (or ten :lol: ) of ...

Only Renlund could make a tidal wave sound boring. Well, I guess somebody had take Richard G. Scott's place. That guy could put me to sleep faster than anybody. (irrelevant sidenote: His brother, Gerald, was my first mission president. Nice guy and not nearly as boring as Richard.) Hi Hermy! Howdy!

...And a suck up 70 even closed his remarks "in the name of the prophet" instead of Jesus Christ.

That is actually kind of funny, and not surprising these days.

First off, stop conversing with these idiots about tithing (or anything else) that you would prefer not to discuss. It's nothing but an emotionally draining exercise in futility for you (as it would be for most all of us.) The only reply to give if they bring up tithing (or anything else for that ma...

"...Do not stay at Motel 6."

There, I fixed that for you.

Guest: So, what are those? Sparky: Oh, those. Yeah, just a few pictures of the International House of Handshakes. They've got multiple locations and it makes a great date night. Lots of things to choose from in there. You can wear a baker's hat and apron while sitting on opposite side of the room fr...
