Re: The length some people go to

Sorry for your loss Alas. I typically choose to find the humor in most of life’s difficult situations. The man boobs in your story made me chuckle. May 3rd is an important anniversary date for me. I’ll celebrate the life of your lesbian daughter in law in my thoughts going forward along the way. It’s ...

Re: Pope Francis has died

Bishop!

How much longer do you need to serve?

Our bishop just changed last week after 5 and a half years!

The new guy is probably ok and will leave us the hell alone.

Hoping you don’t get released and make the high council or worse…. Stake President!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha….

Re: Happy New Year!

Imagine you are a Jaredite. On January first you seal yourself into your barge, along with your family, livestock, barrels of live fish, hives of bees . . . . I recently learned randomly that honeybees were introduced to the Americas in the 17th century. What this means, I guess, is that the ...

Re: Pope Francis has died

One of the dumbest discussions in my TBM head was around succession of the Pope. The LDS church was the one true church simply because of the succession of the next apostle upon death of the prophet. God had already planned out who was next. Meanwhile, the leadership of the great and abominable ...

Re: What words of comfort and wisdom will we receive...

I hate the T word. Santa has always been kind and generous to my family in the past, present, and hopefully the future. He’s really a nice guy that has the betterment of humanity on his mind. He doesn’t require my devotion, unwavering faith, or special red and white underwear with fluffy white trim. ...

Re: Visions

While I agree with your ideas around alcohol and mushrooms, I’m also a believer that some people just make stuff up.

I’ve heard a few whoppers told over the pulpit over the years as well as family stories. Some are just plain made up.

Re: Happy New Year!

I always imagined the jaredite submarine excursion to be comparable to a deacons quorum scout trip with a bunch of 12 year olds. They pack 5lbs of beef jerky, 3 lbs of sugary treats, 6 gallons of Gatorade, an old compass and a map and set off on their weekend getaway. They traverse 4 miles and then ...

Happy New Year to all of you apostates! Can you believe this place has continued since 2016? Thanks Thayne for passing the baton. How about we plan a NOM reunion for 2025? A place we can all get together and finally meet in person? SLC in late spring early summer? We can advertise on a billboard ...

Re: Officially declared non tithe payer and proud of it

Congrats! It really does get easier to participate at your own pace. It seems this year there was extra efforts made to reach out and get people in to declare their status. Normally we just don’t go and let whatever the bishop reports suffice. We simply don’t care why they report on our behalf. Yet t ...

Re: what's happening with the new Intro to the BOM?

I heard or read it was a new introduction in a BoM app that was designed for investigators of the church. Not necessarily pushed down into scripture to replace the existing one that has been changed numerous times already. So nothing to see here folks…. Continued revelation or policy change. ...

Lavina Fielding Anderson has been re-baptized!

Apparently a year after her death and approved by the 1st Presidency! The kicker….. They didn’t let her family do it. According to the Salt Lake Tribune article… some else else did the proxy ordinance. All the while she attended church for 30 years up until the pandemic and her declining health. Anot ...

This whole thing is an experiment in crazy thinking. Here’s a few thoughts. Hot climates, starting with Africa. Isn’t it weird dark skinned African members have to be clothed in white?

Re: This garment underwear crack down is WEIRD!

Please don’t misunderstand. As you reach out for divine guidance, the Spirit will not inspire you to do less than follow the instruction received in the temple and the prophetic counsel shared by the First Presidency in their recent statement.
