I don’t know exactly what Kish is asking for here, but this is a question I think about often. And I’ll put out a disclaimer right here that everything I am going to say has nothing to do with the fact that women are treated poorly in the church and even the greater culture has a way to go before t...

This is borne out by that fact that many cultures around the world in Asia, Africa, Polynesia, Native America... recognize more than 2 genders. I'm going to admit I've never seen evidence of this in any issue of National Geographic. The photos might be taken through the lens of the photographer tho...

While you're at it friends, try a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream with a shot of hot espresso on top.

Not alcoholic, but you're welcome!

They producers also stated that they suspect that there was more to the handjob, but that is all that the dad would admit to. Undoubtedly, they did play a sound bite of the father referring to it as a "homosexual affair." According to B's obit, he remarried in the 90's (temple) and was an ordinance...

Does your DD have a safety plan? I have worked in prevention for years and it's really difficult with teens because things go wrong and they just spiral. With the media, 13 reasons, etc, something bad happens and that's where their mind goes. So many kids have these thoughts. Im happy to offer what...

Moksha you are hereby assigned to come and shovel my driveway this week. If you cannot make it, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. MoPag you are hereby assigned to do my dishes this week. If you cannot make it, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Wtfluff you are hereby as...

Things that are real will stay real even if you deeply investigate all the questions. Things that are true will stay true even when you examine all of the contrary evidence. This is such a tiny piece of critical thinking that would help SO MANY PEOPLE if they would only consider it. Your doubt is n...

Church buildings do not feel that clean. They are vacuumed, but don't really get CLEAN. Maybe it's being an adult vs a kid, but they feel kind of grungy compared to the longtime past. It reminds me of a McDonald's Playland. Cleaned, but not clean. Gives me the willies. Are church buildings ever giv...

If this is the best they can do to attempt to get millennials more engaged in the temple they've lost. I'm guessing the Powerpoint thing is a stopgap until they can make a new film, but even still the whole thing is just a slightly more palatable version of what we had. Yeah so my thought here is t...

Today at school one of my DD's friends overheard a conversation wherein a girl was accusing my DD of being a lesbian; which she is not. The girl spreading this rumor is from a TBM family from the local ward. We've had problems with all of our daughters being bullied or made fun of or being left out...

To take it a step further, how often is a kid gay and no one knows and the takes that secret to their grave? There is so much same and social pressure built up around it that a kid may take their life and never reveal the real reason for it. I know at that is impossible to track by definition, but ...

Isn't it amazing when you start to see similar patterns emerge both inside and outside of your paradigm? One of the first universal parallels amongst all religious foundations I was surprised by was seeing how often the founder succumbs to the power, money, and sex with congregation members. Michae...

You never agreed to clean buildings for the Church. The Church never asked for members' consent when they made the change. They simply pushed it on the members and expected them to comply. Even now in many wards they don't ask you to clean the Church - they assign you and tell you that you have to ...

Today they invited her to activity days...

I'd like nothing more than to watch a few people's faces as the church actually implodes.

Can someone clarify the evidence of a link with Elder Christiansen please?

I don't think HM will ever appear, they are trying too hard to be evangelical, which is odd because evangelicals have a name for themselves right now as backward politically. The only positive "skill" I see from the temple is the idea of quiet reflection to seek intuition. The initiatory has some po...

Does anyone know more about the women age cap at 39?...

There is no way they will consent to recording. I'm sure they've been told not to, and they announce at conferences not to record. It's a liability for the church with Mormon leaks to have leaders on record. Of course, all the more reason to record them, IMO.

Is the guy in the beneficial insurance ad paying his tithing with a Chicken and 2 watermelons? It makes no sense to me beyond "black people are funny, let's laugh at them." It leverages racist stereotypes of the day. Here's how the thinking went. The man is in a predicament. He has two watermelons,...
