I say fight fire with fire. I've been listening to Godsmack this week, turnt up real loud. I figure if I use the Devil's own music loud enough he'll be under the false impression he's already got me (which he just might because I don't believe in him). This frees me up to focus on the number of Suba...

The air show was great. As stated, we were there on Sunday...so much fewer people. OP was spoiled and had VIP seating. The ending was pretty lame. They announced that the Thunderbirds would actually perform a little early but apparently they had complications and they ended up flying much later. I ...

IMO - gotta be honest with the boy, but you don't need to disclose everything right now. When my kids left before I did, it was difficult but they really appreciated it when I admitted I was wrong. They knew I was doing the best I could with where I was at and that it took me longer because I had a ...

"This research doesn't say that children of employed moms are happier or better people, and it doesn't say employed moms are better," Kathleen McGinn, a professor at Harvard Business School and lead author of the study, told CNNMoney in 2015. "What it says is, daughters are more likely to be employ...

Glad to know some fellow NOMers were at the airshow on Sunday. Damn, that was a long wait before the thunderbirds! We decided to leave and had to catch it on the bus ride out. Pious remarks...well let's see. Not really pious but a subtle remark my dad uses really pisses me off. He always includes "...

any phrase that includes "the doctrine"
"We were blessed because we paid our tithing"
"Tender Mercy"
"Good thing we have our food storage"

Yes, the food storage one and the tithing one, it just wreaks of ramiumptom!

...sometimes I feel guilt for not making an effort to try and help my TBM friends out of it, especially when I see them suffering from it.

So, you're saying that this sins of omission thing is a two-edged sword?

Exactly!

Not sure if it makes you go huh? , but it does suggest checking to see if your wallet is secure. https://files.mormonsud.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/trump214.jpg Between us, we've got this world's only truth thing pretty well sewn up. So - prophets in the scriptures were always telling wicked ru...

Damn! I can't add much to the posts already here. Haven't we just hit one of the major nerves and the crux of so much that is Fd up with fundamentalist religions, driving their members faith with fear and guilt!? I think back to all the guilt and fear I experienced over 40+ years in that pile of $hi...

Of course, that friend is me, and reading it I just cried. It brought back a flood of emotions. I told her I was sorry for breaking her heart, and we ended up having a good discussion. This is excellent that you can share your true feelings with each other! This is what really helped me and my DW d...

So if you are a navy seal special forces grunt in the trenches of a third world country and you get orders .... I have a brother IL who was career military. What I saw in his life was a high need for order and to have some of the responsibility of decision making removed from himself. Sort of a "Gi...

I think some of these zealous apologists and TBMs fall into this category ... Sometimes I've seen apologists on the great and specious forum such as that unnamed Deseret News writer, Smac, and Pahoran mix things up in ways that seemed very uncivil. Sometimes many posters will become involved and pi...

Wow, a really thought provoking post. "We did not pick this fight with the Church's critics, but we will not withdraw from it".(Sunstone 2004, May, Defending the Kingdom, Rethinking the Faith: How Apologetics is Reshaping Mormon Orthodoxy, J-C Duffy) Thanks for that quote, seems to support some of ...

Reuben, your posts were interesting. I tend to have transcendent experiences while I'm alone, although some happen when I'm with my family. Even before my shelf broke, my most transcendent experiences were usually triggered by music and/or nature. Hikes in the canyons of Southern Utah or in the Tet...

I'm going to miss KBYU being a PBS station. Some of the British shows were quite enjoyable. Now they can cater to a mormocentric audience, with Church made programs and primetime fare like Muppets in Space. I can understand BYU's need. They create a lot of wholesome family fare. Without PBS, they w...

Just some thoughts from the commute this morning. The recent threads on apologetics and another topic on the warrior gene seem to have crossed paths in my mind this morning. If you have not heard of the warrior gene, here's a primer: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychology-writers/201104/...

I say I was raised Mormon and most folks can nuance out I'm not anymore. Yes, I have also had very good results from saying I was raised LDS. Additionally, I make it a point to carry around a cup of coffee once in a while at whatever office I am at. Avoiding coffee is one of the most visible LDS sh...

We had several of these families in our stake, but one in particular where the dad was steak prez and two of the sons bishops. As far as I know they are all still in. There was the youngest daughter who had a failed marriage and was like the black sheep, but still active. They owned a several acre s...
