According to this talk by Cook, we shouldn't call him a crook. People might get the right impression of him. Wait... is that what he said?

Thanks, Pres. MoPag! It is good to see you, too! I'm happy to see you're still running this place and keeping the threads alive, despite the overall slowdown in the forums. You do a great service to your fellow NOMs!

Man, catching up is WAY better than conference! Glad to hear you are done, and yes, keeping your head down is the best plan. My SP got released so just before he was, I was released from the HC. A lowly clerk now and like you, life is great! Definitely! Glad to hear you're doing well! I often ...

Good morning, my friends! Hey Bishop! You still bishoping or long released now? There was a big stake re-alignment almost 1 year ago. My ward was closed and our neighborhood was moved into another stake. I still attend every week with family, but I'm otherwise keeping a very low profile in our new ...

Good morning, my friends!

I am sorry to hear of this too. I always appreciated his insights and contributions to this site and community.

MoPag, you're a saint for creating these threads to help preserve our sanity.

Just need Homer to fall asleep and moan out loud... "Marge, change the channel..."

Allow me to summarize Holland: We're the best. No other church is as good as us! We are really cool! I know it the story that surrounds the restoration and the Book of Mormon sounds utterly bat shit crazy. Please ignore all those stories about it that we told you in primary...we don't actually know ...

Hey Bishop! Give us an update… Hey Red! I'll have to make a new post with some more information. I was released a few weeks ago when our ward was closed as part of a multi-stake boundary change. Its really the best result I could have hoped for, I'm now coasting in a new ward/stake with no calling a ...

Good morning, friends! It has been a long time!

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!
