Oh my. This is toxic and manipulative. I am so sorry.

My nevermo friends are fascinated by Mormon prepper doctrines. I try to give them background to make things make sense and it is soooo crazy sounding.

The word "Adam" just means "man." The story includes a talking snake. It's not really even a myth, it's a fable. It's impossible to imagine this fable as history. There is zero chance that there are historical figures involved in this obvious fable. Yup. Man beguiled woman with his “snake” and thus...

Looks like some new changes. I no longer have to ask my regional sales manager bishop down the street if it's cool if I get a vasectomy apparently, although it's still discouraged. Also if you're a young teen who has a kid out of wedlock you have the option to jump straight into Elders quorum or re...

And then came the "Joseph wasn't a polygamist" by Kenneth Card. :shock: I started watching that presentation and it was very painful. His argument seemed to be, "all of these scriptures show that plural marriage is not right and then these statements show that Joseph was not a fan. Therefore, Josep...

We were listening to Bert E at Sunstone last night on the literary origins of heaven and hell. 9yo: He's not supposed to say h.e.... Me: he means the place, he's not telling anyone to go there. 9yo: (listens to part of Adam and eve story): I dont get it. Me: so he's explaining what people used to th...

I probably should have brought this up earlier, but I am presenting at Sunstone tomorrow (July 31) at 3:25 PM. The title is: "How Is the Church Really Doing?: Some Uncorrelated Statistics". If you would like to read my real name, see my real face, and hear my real voice, come attend. This is not so...

091 - Smith-Pettit Lecture Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife presented by Dr. Bart D. Ehrman

It's a great lecture so far.

anyone?

Currently drinking a lovely cup of coffee. So wine reduction...this is how I got into really drinking wine, by dinking around cooking with it. Cooking wine is too salted, so I would just play with adding wine to sauces, learned to make wine reductions, and generally started sipping wine here and the...

That said, I believe that an older ceremony said the garden story was figurative, It did. "This is figurative as far as the man and woman are concerned." In my TBM days I took that to mean that the two volunteers were figuratively representing a literal Adam and Eve. In my nuancing days I took it t...

Without the fall and atonement, Mormonism falls apart.

That said, I believe that an older ceremony said the garden story was figurative, this was changed before I went through and we were each to consider ourselves Adam and eve.

Schools are starting to have liability waivers and their insurance won't cover COVID claims.

Will the temple also have waivers?

My dad works at SoJo but I doubt he would tell me.

I donated blood and get a free antibody test. So in 2 weeks I will find out if today I have antibodies.

I can't go back, its too toxic. Child abuse, racism, homophobia. But I so badly miss a community. I miss choir. I wanted to start taking my 9yo to a Lutheran church and then Covid. My family is far away and Spouseman's are delusional. So we sort of stagnate. I think he's ready to resign soon. Kids a...

I'm behind...but listened to it last night and thought it was interesting. Anyone else listened to this episode?

I wondered if our NOMs have any similar stories they would like to share.

As a resident of Tooele County for about 22 years it’s been fun to read this thread and see what people think 😊. Maybe I can provide a little bit of clarification on this topic. First of all, yes, Tooele is a rural county with nearly all residents living in the northeast corner – within commuting d...
