NOM needs to be a safe place
We’ve received enough complaints on Dirty Birds posts that it’s been decided to ban him for a period of time. The committee has voted and resolution has passed. The board continues to experience a few glitches and cost increases and I’m committed to seeing it continue but in order to do so it needs ...

Re: Declining callings and talks is getting easier for me
Congrats on determining for yourself your own level of participation. It’s a great place to be in. Before the pandemic, I had managed a few co-callings with Sys Ryder in primary that I enjoyed because it took me out of Sunday school and elders quorum which I had always skipped to sit in the car, go ...

Re: 9 stories from those who returned to the faith
I wonder whether something like this might have made a difference for me. There was a point where I wanted nothing more than to talk about belief with someone faithful and knowledgeable, but I didn't know who that might be or how I might go about it. You bring up an excellent point. At the peak of ...

9 stories from those who returned to the faith
In this months edition of the Liahona, the famous monthly publication formerly known as the Ensign, there is an article titled How we came back: Nine Stories from those who returned to the faith. The article starts out …. “in a world that often magnifies loss of faith stories, quieter journeys of re...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
Now I’m arguing with Elder Chat G. TeePee While I understand your request, it's important to approach the topic of polygamy with sensitivity and respect for the individuals involved. Promoting polygamy-themed cooking could be perceived as inappropriate or disrespectful. Instead, I can offer you sugg...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
Here’s a few funny meal ideas from Elder Chat G. Teepee baked with a dash of RR sarcasm. 1. Pioneer Potluck Feast: A meal featuring classic pioneer-era dishes like beans, cornbread, stew, and homemade pies, reminiscent of the early Mormon settlers' simple yet hearty meals. Just don’t drink the water...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
That leads me to my question about historic Mormon cooking. I know that Mormon tastes in cooking tend towards blandness, but have there been any pronouncements against spiciness? Only in the bedroom Penguin! Only in the bedroom….. My grandmother was known for her blandness in the kitchen. Some of h...

A quick update
I took a new job in the same company which resulted in more time and dedication to the company. It pays extremely well which is why I took it. Unfortunately it means my time and dedication is to the company and not to my distractions, interests, and hobbies. I can’t stand that life seems to be that ...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
It feels like the church members can be packaged into a few different groups that represent a challenge to the Leadership. However, as long as the wallets of each group remain open the Leadership can tolerate while they search for more real estate investments. Let’s continue defining Mormonism. 1. A...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
I love that. I would add… Mormonism is a time consuming lifestyle made up of a series of non-standardized rules that each church member and leader personally interprets differently and then expects everyone else to abide by their own interpretation, that ever so slowly evolves from generation to gen...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
We like him even if some of his jokes aren’t funny. Sometimes I write with savoir-faire, sometimes I resort to flipperancy (penguin joke). No one can please all audiences, nor should we have to please everyone. Our common humanity draws us together and hopefully, this place of togetherness can be b...

Re: How long can I lie ?
Love the commentary. Let me simplify and share how I reframed this. If I wasn’t born Mormon, let’s just say for this example I would be a catholic. As a catholic, I would attend church with my family. Sit by them on the pew. Participate in milestone events. Celebrate Easter and Christmas. And live m...

Re: Replacing the New Order Mormon
Years ago, I used to strongly resist (in my mind) the oft-voiced idea that the "middle way" was inevitably temporary and that no one would continue to try to make it work in the long term. I guess I didn't want my future to be that easily predictable. I still identify more with the NOM label than a...

Re: Was tithing required to attend the temple
Just wondering if anybody knows if tithing was required in the time of jesus to attend the temple ??? Have you read The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by Saramago? I highly recommend it. It is brilliant. It puts a whole new twist into WWJD. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gospel_According_to_...

Went to church today (Dec 24th) and …
The choir sang Christmas music.
The speaker talked about genealogy and attending the temple.
The choir sang more Christmas music.
We all went home after one hour!
Why am I not surprised?
