We’re meeting and discovering some of us are related.😲 Yes! We discovered that DPRoberts is married to my cousin. I've been to his house only a couple of times and that part of my family is huuuge, so it took me a bit to work out that his face looked familiar because we might be related... To cousi...

I'll be wearing a black t-shirt with "Since 1791" on the front. It's my favorite shirt to wear in England. I have a class that ends at 12:40, so that kind of puts a damper on it for me, but maybe I can swing by late and say hi. Please post specifics once you get there. We'll post as soon as we know ...

How does this square with Pillowgate?

Temple Rumor: When the three pioneer-era Temples are refurbished in Utah, the dinosaur in the mural at the Manti Temple will be changed to the Utah Velociraptor.

Will Ronald Reagan be astride it, waving a machine gun?

What makes me even sadder is when I talked with my wife about this and she not only accepts it but defends it. I made a comment on that photo earlier and this was a response I got from a random believer: "As a woman I resent the way you talk down to me and others, as if we are victims of some horri...

Nelson's talk was horrible. DW didn't like it a bit.

Sounds like your wife isn't afraid to empathize with you, and has gone one step further to being aware of messaging that's harmful to you.

I, Reuben, having considered relevant time, location and monetary constraints, therefore I was minded somewhat to choose City Creek Centre That's a bummer. I can't enter City Creek without bursting into flames. (Or maybe I just won't set foot on the Church's mall property...) If it helps, you could...

Remove "(and this is debatable)" and "(except for maybe bigots?)" and then post the hell out of it if you can.

I, Reuben, having considered relevant time, location and monetary constraints, therefore I was minded somewhat to choose City Creek Centre; and having seen many plans derailed from indecision in the course of my days, nevertheless having consumed many flavors in all my days; yea, having had great kn...

He's quoting himself from an earlier talk

Isn't that mental masturbation?

I think of it more like a one-human centipede.

So... President Oaks is da man! This is like golf, right? Lowest score wins?

Wife went to bathroom, paused the tv, came back and resumed but now it is in Spanish. Now I have to figure out how this happened. This happened during Eyrings talk.

Tender mercies?

So now there is something wrong with me being a straight, white, cis (whatever in the hell this means) male? You seem just like the "inclusive" bigots your are railing against.. Nice 😒 Cis = cisgendered = your biological sex and gender identity match. True of most people but not everyone (about 1% ...

Keeping tabs on r/exmormon during the latest kerfuffle has been interesting and a little saddening. The first thing I noticed was that almost every post was a variation on the theme "I told you so" or "This isn't enough." I figured that anything like the first theme would be a terrible way to start ...

"Just have faith" is in constant tension with "ye shall know them by their fruits." Mormons are told to resolve the tension by choosing "just have faith" for everything unfavorable toward the church and "ye shall know them by their fruits" for everything favorable. One problem is that it's a terribl...

Today's deseret news article actually mentions it! https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900063943/church-lgbt-gay-lesbian-policy-mormon-baptisms-blessings-apostasy.html ... the November 2015 policies were the result of revelation.... a flurry of policy changes over the past yearwere inspired by reve...

Blashyrkh, your empathy gap is showing.

I kind of hope it doesn't happen. Not drinking coffee has been a cheap way to increase group cohesion. It's like wearing a football jersey. If it disappeared as an in-group marker, believers would feel the change and adjust for it. What would take its place? Genuine love and concern for all? Nah. It...

My prediction of how this will be spun by some members: The saints were not ready to live this law because of their worldliness; too many of were too sympathetic to The Gays. It will be reinstated once we have properly repented. I've seen this and I've seen them say this was an Abrahamic test. It's...

I have no statistics to back this up, but I suspect that you are more likely to die from natural causes in church (boredom if it is a Mormon church) than a shooting.

I can confirm this from personal experience.

At the temple: "Now, what church do I belong to, again?"

Got used to it, though.
