NOM

Hey stranger! Long time no see. First… congrats on the divorce. Hope it all went well considering it’s a major life change. Second…. Ignore the letter. Their treehouse, their rules! From my experience as a ward clerk, I’ve seen a few cases where the other spouse was honest and positive and gave a gr...

I know two or three people that are wealthy successful leader types that never went to college. One uncle dropped out of high school but always had a knack for negotiations and opportunities to put business deals together. I think the church is good at creating leaders who fit their organization str...

I’m topping this post for Sloth as I ran into him over on the Reddit exmo board and was reminded of this post.

Great to chat with you all.

It's been awhile since we had a NOM conference call.

I’m dialed in waiting for others to join. I posted this to the exmo Reddit a few minutes ago. Let’s see what happens.

A response to Jeff Holland's warning that if you stop clinging to the lifeboat you are surrendering yourself to be lost in the storm. But when you finally do let go you realize it was much scarier in the boat than out. Can you change that stay in the boat picture so that there is also a beach in vi...

Shared this with my wife and we are both filled with hope- Dieter as Pres. Is that a terrible thing? I do like Jeff Holland, even though I don't agree with him a lot. We had a 70 attend our ward yesterday, his daughter is in it, our ward that is, anyway the 70 said Holland is on death's doorstep bu...

To quote Paris Hilton…

“That’s hot!”

And what kind of God puts the least spiritual people in charge of the spirituality of the more spiritual people?

The same God that puts a 99 year old prophet in place to lead a church that is hemorrhaging young adults 18 - 30 years old.

My motto was to ”Love my wife more than I hated going to the temple.” Then it morphed into “I loved my bank account more than I hated going to the temple.” Then it changed again to “I really loved not going to the temple because the temple rituals were really silly.” That led to “I’m sorry you’re go...

p.s. don't get your hopes up, folks: https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2023/11/24/slap-face-lds-relief-society/ ‘A slap in the face’: LDS Relief Society leaders ordered off the stand Area president puts an end to this Bay Area tradition. Many women are asking: Why? I’m happy to see this get called ou...

If we look at the seniority list and relative ages, it’s highly possible that a Uchtdorf Presidency could happen. If we assume Nelson, Eyring, and Holland all die within 2 years, then it becomes a race between Dallin and Dieter to see who lives the longest. Oaks most likely could be the next prophet...

Ironically when asked to compare the process between Mormon and criminal activity: The leadership selection process in the Mormon Church, officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), stands in stark contrast to the clandestine and often illegal methods associated...

The selection process for leaders within the Mormon church is similar to a criminal organization like the mafia. The process is not transparent or standardized, and it can vary based on the specific organized crime group and its internal dynamics. 1. **Hierarchy and Seniority:** Criminal organizatio...

Mine from 2013-2023: $0 Bishop once asked why I didn’t give anything at all?? I’m willing to donate when you can’t keep the lights on. I’m willing to donate when the consolidated financial statements are publicly available. Apparently they didn’t need my donations because they didn’t give me financi...

Glenn prophesied that the church will soon clean house of these wicked spies.

Well let’s hope he isn’t considering Elder Ballard’s death as evidence of his prophecy.

John Dehlin has been public ally calling for him to do an interview on Mormon Stories.

That would be worth listening to.

Perhaps with the death of Ballard this might now happen.

I find this conversation extremely fascinating. As if sitting at dinner just listening in.

Please continue.

A former state legislator observed to me that it seemed VERY convenient just before he had to give depositions. What if they are faking his death to avoid giving depositions? At 95, the likelihood he actually died is 99.99% in my mind, but that leaves a .01% chance they faked it. Then he could just...

While we're promoting the idea of women filling these positions, why don't they have Barbara Ballard slip into her husband's big red chair? Maybe that should be a rule: Widows of Q15 get promoted to Q15 when hubby dies. (Or maybe those nice ladies should just spend more time with their grandkids.) ...
