Re: Apologizing for your faith?
Like Cnsl1, I don't feel like I behave much differently when I'm with believers, other than keeping my thoughts regarding religion to myself, and attempting to not drop too many F-Bombs. :lol: It's taken years since giving up on MORmONism to feel comfortable "being myself" no matter the crowd I'm wi...

Re: Declining callings and talks is getting easier for me
The BP member thanked us for our efforts but instead of offering another calling, he asked us what calling we would feel comfortable in. We were taken aback and said we'd have to think about it. Bartender! Fashioner of graven images! Strengthening Church Skeptics Committee coordinator! I plagiarize...

Re: Is the church headed for a schism ?
This is a place where mormons of every stage can express ideas about mormonism. There is nothing ridiculous about questions around mormonism. There are real problems at the border that need to have solutions. What does that have to do with this thread? Here's a hint: A whole lot of what DB types is...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
As an FYI: Single-Serve "mini" bottles of wine are not available in Utah. 375ml/12oz cans are available. And 500ml "boxes". :lol: Utah liquor regulations are ridiculous. And selection is practically nonexistent. I don't know that the selection is as awful as made out to be, but the regulations are ...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
... We're such lightweights that we like to buy the little mini-bottles that come four to a pack. "Barefoot" is one particular brand that I think is widely available and pretty decent. There are others. They're pretty decent for drinking and certainly adequate for cooking. We'll sometimes use half ...

... 2) Is it okay to bring a good tiramisu to a ward function? .. Absolutely, Positively! The "word of wisdom" says that MORmONs are not supposed to drink coffee. MORmONs can EAT as much coffee as they would like. I've heard/read in the post-MORmON rumor mill that the beardless Profit of olden-days...

Re: Question on Mormon Cooking
Boy howdy does this bring back some (bland) memories of Lima Beans for dinner, and Milk Toast Party fundraisers at the Ward House.
The good ol' days in the middle of the most MORmON Morridor state.

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women
I find it odd that few women called to the general boards of primary, Relief Society and Young Women are the stay-at-home moms that the church has proclaimed women should be. They do not follow the prescribed path. The Second Wives Club does not seem to fit the model either. That is an interesting ...

You two can decide who wears which hat - or maybe just trade weekly or monthly.

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women
I was barely a teen in 77, but I'll never forget the name Sonia Johnson and how much the church demonized her for standing up for ERA. She and some others actually stood up and verbally opposed the church leadership in a general conference session and it shocked a lot of people. https://en.wikipedi...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
I have enjoyed other’s definitions, but don’t have any humor to add along that line. So, I’ll just be boring and pretend we are serious about answering the question. Lots of things. If I were writing a dictionary, it would be really hard to define because the main people who are Mormon, think the w...

Interesting podcast I was "lead" to recently that reminded me of the discussion of patriarchy in this thread.

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
This is an interesting thought experiment that I've never thought of. :P Though I don't want to put too much thought into it, the MORmON part of my brain won't let me not think about it (as you can tell.) Sadly, my first reaction as to how I would define Mormonism would be offensive to some folks he...
