Just wait... With the "christian-ization of LD$-inc. we might see puffs of smoke from the Salt Lake polygamy palace at some point in the future when they crown a new CEO. Hopefully someone on the inside can sneak something into the smoke-bomb so that the smoke is the color of the rainbow. (Hoooray ...

Just wanted to say hi, everyone! I hope you all have a great day despite the blah.

When I was called as bishop our SP suggested "It isn't a rule, but we like our bishops and high council members to follow the brethren regarding facial hair." I've never been interested in growing a beard so I didn't fight it at all. Our new SP though has straight up told me he doesn't think facial ...

I see no problem with this plan. As long as you don't ask for the Glory, Melvin has no recourse.

Hey Red! I'm always happy to be a friend with a listening ear! Can we just not call it confessional?

My 14 year old largely unbelieving son is feeling a lot of pressure on mission service already. My wife and I have tried to be clear to him that it will 100% be his choice and we will not withhold anything (college tuition, etc) or judge him if he does not go. I am personally thrilled that he is ...

Hey MOM!

family and I are in and out today. It's a busy birthday weekend in our family. Good luck to those of you sitting through the mind numbing spin work and gas lighting!

If we're home I'll definitely tune into NOMference, but I'm hoping weather cooperates and I can get my family out camping, waiting for the eclipse and avoiding as much church as possible.

Thank you, Captain Salty! I was worried we'd lost the community. I seriously would miss you all!

This is a great update! I am really very happy for both of you Red! Jealous, but happy.

Do you think that, if you just give them a temple recommend, that the SP will or a counselor will cause any problems? I'm curious what the relationship might be there. As everyone else said, if this should not be answered, I understand. I assume if they tell me they pay tithing, then they'll say ...

As with the previous post, if you don't feel like answering my questions, please ignore dear Graey-Bispo: Are the 3 noted families temple recommend holders? Do you consider them "Temple Worthy' and/or would you give them temple recommends? (If they ask.) They are all current temple recommend ...

You don't have to answer this question Graey, but I am wondering: do you emphasize tithing a lot? Do you think a vigorous campaign to increase tithing settlement attendance next year would make a difference? I do not emphasize tithing in any way shape or form. That may be part of the reason for ...

I also thought it was relevant to point out that all three families noted their concern over the SEC settlement had way more to do with broken trust than the amount of money the church had. According to Bishop Waddell, the church broke the law for ~20 years in order to keep the amount of money in ...

Hi Everyone! I haven't been around for a while. IRL I'm still alive, still PIMO, still acting as bishop. I occasionally find my way here and lurk in some of the topics checking on how everyone is doing. But I just don't have the energy to write much up. Bishoping literally eats all the energy I have ...

I'm completely checked out. Planning my new shed foundation...

Blaspheme! You have to just take it on everyone's word that Nelson is a prophet. Why else would everyone quote him so much?

Heavy focus on a dumb hill to die on regarding the "proper name of the church". Also, little helpful/useful/uplifting information.
