Anyone listen to the Adam Steed Mormon stories episode 1809? He was one of the kids abused in scouting and later had his live destroyed by Jodi Hildibrandt. Elder Hillam helped to cover up the abuse. Jodi became a counselor on the LDS family services approved counselor list. Anyone who doesn’t thin...

It appears the church has made a statement. So Tim is denying that the church actually made a statement? We seem to live in a world where you just say what you want to be true and a group of credulous people just believe you and stand behind you. Tim seems to have all the requisite skills for the p...

Imagine if, instead of a psychic medium,... Hagoth, has there been any thought of hiring an LDS psychic to channel Moroni and see if there are any Gold Plates buried in Sandy or Draper? Yeah, and we almost had it but it slipped deeper into that ground. :lol: gotta apease those damn treasure gaurdia...

Like RFM said...the optics on this are terrible. Even if Tim Ballard is super sketch... which he is...the church is distancing themselves from a guy who is wildly popular with Christians at the moment. (All the Christians down here in the Bible belt are raving about Sound of Freedom.) And the church...

Reminds me of that New Testament story when a fishmonger questioned Jesus' authority so Jesus hired a team of lawyers to bully the guy's family and then turned them over to the Roman soldiers. After that it was smooth sailing for Jesus and nobody even though of nailing him to anything because he su...

Wow....I'm super confused... What I got from RFM's podcast is that the church spokesman made a poorly worded statement condemning Tim Ballard but really didn't get into specifics. The statement alluded to Ballard misusing his friendship with Elder Ballard (I thought there were related, but I guess t...

My fave part was when RFM called Kriton and McConnell "Hacks!"

OMG this thread!!

How about a taffy pulling shop run by Elder Holland. Bednar could have a pickle stand.

And now the church is trying to hard to blend in with Christians. They are hilariously clueless about how much it won't work.

Just catching up with Tuesday podcast club Dr. Juile Hanks is amazing! I find I'm disappointing my teenager all the time. She had some great ways to frame things. That 8 Passengers thing. What. The. F-ck!!! I didn't think it was going to be as dramatic as it turned out to be. Those poor, sweet littl...

"Tight like unto a dish"

Likely my first shelf item - ~30 or so years before I had any idea that type of "shelf" existed.

I want to hide in the cavity of a rock.

Right tho?!?

Lost a friend this morning to cancer. In Muslim tradition, burial happens the same day - everything is too fast - too soon. She's my age. She won't see her daughter graduate. The mantras you repeat to yourself to keep from losing it - they're not gone, they've just moved to a different place". My m...

That's one of my favorites too. I think we are all a part of our own revolution. Sometimes the most rebellious act is to be ourselves in a culture that despises nonconformity.

Love this! Can I borrow it?

Of course!!

Here are the facts from the CDC:

It's a problem everywhere. And true to form, the church just makes it worse.

Stolen from reddit: I agree. Not only is it silly - it's also highly inconsiderate of subsequent leaders, who at some point will need to work through the backlog of announced, but not constructed, temples and perhaps make some tough decisions to cancel or indefinitely postpone temple projects that ...

Moksha started a great thread with some awesome reviews. https://newordermormon.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6526 I also enjoyed this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHS1fIXtjXE&t=4021s Here are the MONference stats: Nelson (Sun Morning) +125 Bragg +105 Oaks +85 Uceda +77 Stanfill +55 Bassett +20 Ra...

Sorry I couldn't fulfill my NOM participation duties this NOMference, President. But all hail Mopag! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together.

We missed you! But glad you got a break too! I love my NOM calling and my NOM ward.

Another year in the books!

Let's have a moment of silence for the poor workers in the temple building department.
