That is a common argument people use to inoculate people to Joseph’s “mistakes”. But from my perspective, being unfaithful to your wife the way Joseph was is more “mistake” than I can overlook. It isn’t a matter of forgiving him of “imperfections” but excusing blatant adultery, overlooking crime, us...

For Jane Elizabeth Manning James many years of faithful devotion to the Church, she was allowed to be sealed as a servant to the Joseph Smith family. The ceremony took place on May 18, 1894, with Joseph F. Smith acting as proxy for Joseph Smith, and Bathsheba W. Smith acting as proxy for James (who...

When God was all imagined anyway, what were you really basing “god” on? What other people told you God approved of? Or you you personally thought God approved of? If it was based on other people’s version if God it was still based on what other people thought, because it is based on what they think ...

When will the disaffected Mormon crowd stop parading this guy around as if he's some special poster child? Whatever happened, happened and he's out! If he comes back he comes back!! If he doesn't then he doesn't. Dang it! I didn't know Hamula was a poster child, or that I was supposed to look up to...

I would have assumed that Hamula would have had the 2nd anointing. Wondering why they would ex him and not Joseph Bishop? Elder Hamula was too public and honest within his own family and within his leadership hierarchy. In contrast, Joseph Bishop kept his indiscretion quiet well past the statute of...

Pres. Hinkley did a lot of good. A lot of good. Examples? I think he started some good, that Oaks and others have smashed into the ground. For example, he said that Mormon women were not agitating for priesthood, opening up the possibility that if enough women actually wanted priesthood, it might b...

Hey, now, the prophet said to fast from any social media that brings you down or makes you feel negative. So, I touched the “don’t want to see this” button on all my friends who post churchy stuff, unfollowed any tRump supporters, and quit any pro church blogs or discussion. Now my social media is a...

Actually, I think him being senile would be an improvement on his current set of delusions. Delusion #1 He seems to really think that every odd thought that pops into his head is straight from God. Delusion #2 he thinks that the bubble he lives in is reality. Delusion #3 he thinks that because he fe...

My daughter got hers because the state of Utah refuses to recognize that being a pagan priestess is an ordained minister. Rather than a legal fight about religious discrimination (which it most certainly WAS) so that she could perform marriages within the group she heads. Before that, she was doing ...

So sorry you were born into a hate-group masquerading as a church Achilles. Most of us will never be able to understand what you've been through, but Oaks' hate is hurtful, even for us. On a lighter note: I just read a post on "that other" angry message board of a person who was investigating the c...

But, but, but, if one believes Hugh Nibley, Nelson is correct because Nibley found all kinds of things in ancient Egyptian pictures to *prove* that the ancient Egyptians had the endowment ceremony. Didn’t matter that he was looking at the style of Egyptian pictures and twisting it to mean they had t...

Well, the TBMs in my life have already failed to keep their fast. Two did because they were so excited about a temple being built in their old mission area and just had to share. And we are doing some family get together planning on Facebook, so that will help keep them all involved. So much for fol...

I agree with you. We have scripture with Mormon’s name on it. It is claimed to be the keystone of our religion. And that different scripture is how we are different, so to differentiate us from the thousands of other Christian sects, people call us by our defining feature. Like the call Baptists “ba...

This is what gets me about rebranding, or in this case, insisting on the formal name. Nothing changes below the surface. If you want to change the public perception, don’t change the name; change the product. Say UTA (Utah Transet Authority) has several years of bad publicity. They did recently and ...

DFU gets +50 for best joke because nobody’s going to beat German Shepherd.

Wow, I had to come back to NOM to find out why TBM hubby turned off the sound off on Croak’s talk. Yeah, I should have guessed from the anti science way he started talking about truth, but I was in the connected kitchen doing dishes and making coffee. If a believing member turns him off, let’s give ...

So... If they had "changed the name" of the Titanic as it was sinking?

They had to change it to the Titantic submarine

Read the legal brief: after you get done vomiting come back and discuss. - Two perpetrators have died by suicide -At least one of them confessed - Grandma's journals -Video of "touching parties" allegedly recorded by Sister Miles -6/7 children have said it happened. - Medical records of injuries be...

They are going to trade in their brand name recognition for RMN’s little tantrum about what people call us? Is he out of his ever loving mind. That is like Jello deciding to call itself the First Gelatin Desert. Sure, it might not be a terrible name, but brand recognition...150 years of brand recogn...

For me, the Mormon church compounded the suffering. In fact, I think Mormonism only works for those who are successful in life. I agree. What about religion in general though? And dont limit your response to Christianity. I dont mean to ask for a treatise on how each religion affects everyone the w...
