Spent a $150 at the liquor store last Saturday. So many different beers and spirits to try! Anyway, this is my new favorite vodka from Hawaii: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/2477/7569/products/ocn_large.jpg?v=1542753782 I think we bought it because the bottle was so beautiful, but it's actua...

In TSCC, treating adults like kids runs top to bottom. Listen to the tone and inflection in how conference speakers generally work. It's not just because they are speaking to a broad audience, it's by design to reinforce the little child narrative. Methods of indoctrination for adults are not far of...

While I agree generally this approach may be the best one in some situations, I think there's room for some potential additional explanations: - This was a very difficult decision. It's one that took a significant amount of time, prayer, study, etc. to come to. - We came to this decision with much c...

You've all got it wrong. I've met RH. That's a picture of him. He actually wears that hat everywhere he goes. And he carries an ice chest. Don't ask him what's in it! OMG, you'er killing me Hagoth! I do have a unicorn mask I've been known to wear out there in the west desert. I promise to acquire a...

It was Crispin Glover's best movie ever!

Times are changing, but the law hasn't. It's a huge fallacy across the Christian world that the Christian god founded and rules everything our federal and state governments do. I used to think that way. According to WikiP, Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible when taking the oath in 1901. Both Joh...

Achilles bro, so sorry to see you suffering like this. Can't add a lot to what's already been said, but have you tried any CDB for your physical ailments? It's literally been a miracle daily supplement for my DW at about 50MG per day, not only for her arthritis but her mood is so much happier. She h...

Our last child, now a teen, has been more a pain the the assets than all the rest of them combined. I might be tempted to utilize said chip if it provided a significant reduction in drama and dumb assery.

I like The So Called Church acronym TSCC - fits whatever they want to come up with now and in the future.

Pull out a copy of the Faith Crisis Report. Point out that the church has had the information about the major reasons people leave for over a decade now. So far all the changes they've made look like an admission of guilt. Or, just use one particular example, go to Radio Free Mormon and use the info...

It can also be done either sincerely or deceptively and there's no way of disputing it. In fact it can be made to look even more genuine if another believer or accomplice claims to understand the gibberish. Which leads us to the Kirkland(?) temple vision where Joseph describes what he is seeing and...

Easy - put all the funny clothing on before you go in and sit down. Without all the dressing and struggling with the switching around of that apron, robe, chef's hat and string, I'd estimate you'd chop 20 minutes off the session. The sisters would also appreciate getting rid of that veil over their ...

By their appologetics
By their factual history
By their false truth claims
By their indoctrinational methods
By their state governmental influence
By their litigation/legal activities
By their assets

As far as the whole last days narrative, judge for yourself if you believe the world is getting worse and the last days are upon us:

Blessings of healing are not necessarily out, but no one expects them to work all by themselves without science-based medical care. Plus modern expectations for them are already so low that we now have Elder Bednar asking the critical question, "do you have the faith not to be healed?" I think they...

Maybe this was the Mormon version of climate denial at that time. Speaking of climate change, what is the Mormon/LDS/Saints Church position on this? Any visions or revelations? I think this is a topic of convenience for TSCC. They use natural disasters to drive fear into members about the last days...

I rarely buy beer from the grocer, it's better to buy directly from the brewery and distillers and bypass the bullshit. There are no breweries here that I know of. The local state liquor store is the closest (and the most expensive) place to buy liquor with normal alcohol content. But, then, there'...

I'm ready to meet with our bishop, tell him where I am, but I'm not sure exactly what to say. I want to do things in the best way possible, so I could use all of your advice. I'm thinking of sending an email to just close family, a brief and concise email, just so they know. How well do you know yo...
