NOM

I wonder how the uppity-ups feel about the following "labels" ? Prophet, seer, revelator, president, patriarch, bishop, elder, priest, teacher, deacon, brother, and most importantly: CEO . We won't even bother to mention the labels used for females, because... Well, in LD$-Inc. they basically don't ...

... Unfortunately there’s a lot of collateral damage in the interim which makes me sick to think about. ... THIS is the part that really bothers me. Are those old fogies trapped in a thick enough bubble that they don't even realize what they are doing? Or do they just not care? You'd think that Rus...

As some of you may know, there was a recent worldwide young adult devotional with RMN and his second celestial wife (Not Even Once Club) Wendy. Here is the SLT's coverage of it: https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2022/05 ... ll-nelson/ To me this was a way to try and keep LGBTQ+ LDS youth and adults i...

Why are Utah Mormons so "Happy" ?

This is the answer:
Radio Free Mormon: 079: Why Are Mormons So Fake?

The fact that LD$-Inc. had 3 different "scholars" dedicate that much time and energy to the book is quite good evidence that everyone should read it. Absolutely! Kind of like the CES letter. If they care that much about it, it must really be close to the jugular. ETA: sorry, in light of the topic a...

... Here's what's on the official newsroom page: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-response-to-jon-krakauers-under-the-banner-of-heaven ... Wow. I tried to read through that. The logical fallacies and misdirection in the first blurb made me "Run Away!!!" I perused the rest, bu...

... Mormonism’s set of rules are silly. ... I'm reminded of something recently on another website; A discussion between a never-mormon wife and former-mormon husband: Wife: … These rules don’t make any sense… My reply was: That's likely a perfect definition of religion. When you're able to convince...

Hold on whilst I grab some popcorn.

I brewed 5 gallons of fresh-pressed hard cider but it turned vinegary. I found out later that it was likely due to exposure to microorganisms from brewing in the basement near an open drain. Bitter defeat. Now my wife is mad at me for dumping 5 gallons of perfectly good apple cider vinegar. You can...

But I still think that “the whole thing was made up” is the best explanation. Kind of interesting: When one actually applies a bit of logic and reason to religion and entertains the thought " It's All Made Up "; Occam's Razor pops right out front-and-center, and lots and lots and lots of things act...

Do you suppose all of our heavenly mothers (sister wives) look exactly the same like father and Jesus do? Based on the Polygamy Palace™ movies (now slide-shows) YES! White togas, and bright white hair-helmets with not a hair out of place. I wonder if the mums have to use Celestial Hair Spray to get...

Just had to pop in to say hi Cwald!!! Hello there. I pop in here from time to time. Specifically to see how this this thread has evolved. Kind of miss the old NOM and stayLDS beer threads to be honest. If you visit, and type about beer more often, others may well join in, my favorite Alien. You sti...

My problem with the “Inspired translation” or “inspired imagination” label is that it discounts the actual gold plates! It discounts the "Witnesses" also. Believer : "But what about the witnesses?!?!?!" Fluffy Apostate : "Witnesses? They were witnesses of source material that was never used to prod...

Great. I can't resist when Mormon Stories talks with someone I "know."

Do you think John can keep it under 8 hours?


Actually, screw that, I hope he chats with Jfro for 18 hours!

Mrs. Hagoth told me she read that the death blow came on the form of a preemptive lawsuit by the Jehovah's Witnesses, even though Truth & Transparency hadn't leaked anything about them. I guess they were doing the Disney thing of suing the little guy out of existence just in case he might pose a fu...

I can't fathom all these new worthless hamster-wheel buildings being anything more than a similitude of the underwear that is marketed inside of them: Pure and simple virtue signaling to keep believers in their bubble that "Everything is Awesome" in CoJCoL-dS land. There is no way in hell that tithi...

Or maybe I'll just read the thread and not listen to the actual talks. I'm sure it would be more edifying! This is me. My tooth enamel cannot withstand the sing-song-y / hypnotic "GA Voice" as they lie to me, staring at the camera with their fake smiles. It drives me absolutely nuts. There are hobb...

"The first rule of Religion/Politics club is..."






Yeah.

We don't follow that Mantra 'round here.
