NOM

I think my wife is a bit more open to criticism of the church now, even though she is still tbm. I just need to tune into nomference to see right

Unbelief in Santa Claus as we transition to adulthood seems universal. Whereas unbelief in the church is not universal because there is still a strong cultural pressure to believe and our friendships and family relationships are tied to these beliefs it seems. That's why mixed faith marriages are ...

Linked, I am impressed that you at least are able to have your family stay home with you once a month. My wife is pretty strong-willed and so it's been hard to do much compromising with her. I am just hoping to at least let them them know of my beliefs before they decide to go on a mission and ...

I searched the internet and found a couple of reddit posts that seemed to apply. One under ParleyPrattskin and the one below that Truthisantimormon. Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comment ... ?rdt=36748

I have an ancestor who was in the Kirtland temple with JS was there and said that he looked where JS was looking and saw 6 persons dressed in white wearing baker's hats and mocasins. He said that this vision strengthened his testimony of the temple later on. This is sort of an impressive vision to ...

Sounds good on the reunion. I'll just need a bit of advanced notice to plan. If we could do it at the Fashion Place Mall again that would be really convenient. Yes Hagoth that is kind of a crazy story. They would probably have to make really sturdy lids to open and close for air. I was also trying ...

It's encouraging to know that this is probably a trend and hopefully it will continue to be increasingly common so that those who are still in will have more empathy for us. And like he says, I suppose we need to have empathy for the believers.

Yes, thanks! I was a bit worried it was going away for good. I missed nomference too! I had to tune into the last session and it was not good for us nomies. What you gonna do

Yes, maybe I should suggest this book to my wife's book club. She definitely has it. We must do scripture study daily (1 full chapter no less), fhe and family planning weekly and don't forget come follow me. I think she would like to wear one of those badges to my chagrin. It makes staying in a ...

Wow I knew he had some good in him. That was a great message. Thanks for sharing!

It's great to have celebrities on our side right!? Looks like I'm going to baptize my son not that I believe in the church but to appease my believing wife and that I don't think it's a bad thing to follow jesus. But this may make it harder to explain to my son probably when he's contemplating a ...

Joseph Smith took his off apparently before being killed in Carthage. I thought we are to believe that they give us some sort of protection. He kept his jupiter talisman on though right? And we don't hear anything in the bible about garments do we?

Wow Hagoth, that's incredible! It's interesting what we keep learning after all this time since I had my faith crisis in 2014.

I think my son would like that

So here's an update. My wife and I spoke with the bishop yesterday about baptizing my son. He talked it over with his counselors and they felt ok with me doing it. This new bishop has two brothers who have left the church; so that along with his interest in Mormon criticism and apologetics and in ...

I like it

It's so nice to be mostly out of the church. All my siblings are out, but wife's siblings are all in so it makes it tough on her. Also, I still feel the pressure to stand in circles whenever wife's family has ordinance things. I try to avoid them when possible. That's why I think it would be good ...
