Why was there racism in the Book of Mormon, Book of Abraham etc?

Why was BY so racist?

Why does the church now disavow these racist teachings?

Why did the church finally allow blacks to have the priesthood in 1978?

Why did JS marry so many wives who were already married? Why did Oliver Cowdery get excommunicated because he believed JS affair with Fanny Alger was adultery? Why did BY marry Zina Huntington after JS died even though her husband was on a mission? Why did JS coerce young girls to marry him? Why did ...

Why did the bom have so many anachronisms: animals, plants, Christianity, Isaiah, Biblical passages, writing, etc? Why did JS want to be a king and polygamist when in the bom it says that was abominable? Why does the LDS church want 10% of our gross income when the interest that it makes can pay for ...

The essays, the wealth of the church and the church hiding it and using it for malls etc, family size and birth control, mothers staying in the home, mission age, come follow me, covenant path, seminary students being lightly inoculated to church history stuff, changes in the temple and to garments ...

Yeah, sometimes I feel guilty about declaring that I am a full tithe payor in front of my wife and kids and I really haven't been paying tithing. However, I was tbm for quite awhile and paid 10% of my gross income for quite awhile. Then after my faith crisis read that in the early days of the church ...

Alas, sorry about your daughter in law. I have a niece who is lesbian and she and her wife have a baby boy. It seems to me to be just as valid and genuine a family as anyone has. Sending good thoughts and prayers.

I just read all of nomference and sounds like I didn't miss much right? I was lucky that we were on a road trip and only had to listen to part of 2 or so talks. I'm glad Mopag and team suffered through it to give us some good commentary.

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 ...
