NOM

I have read this letter in the past (https://www.scribd.com/document/167827568/Apostle-Delbert-Stapley-Letter-to-Michigan-Governor-George-Romney), but I just rediscovered it and have read it a couple of times through yesterday. I am REALLY bothered by it. It says it is just a “friend to a friend” ty...

Just how long will it be until Members are taking care of the outside of Church Buildings? I think this is coming. We are already now starting to clean the temples (at midnight mind you), and i'll reference a previous post where Sister Missionaries were doing landscaping outside the Phoenix Temple. ...

I am not sure if this hit the NOM board/ ****BOM musical convert Liza Morong left the church. **** Here's article of her conversion and "I am a Mormon" profile (which is now deleted): http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865579364/From-Book-of-Mormon-musical-to-Mormon-convert.html And a reddit follow ...

1. Polygamy/Polyandry 2. The corporate style hierarchal leadership that gives only spin and half truths which it claims to be revelation. 3. The fact that mormons are 0.2% of the world's population but claim to be the only ones with the answers. It is okay, Culper Jr., the work has been "hastened" ...

Hi All, Happy Valentines Day! :oops: Just a quick survey. I'd like to poll some other NOM's on what are your top three faith crisis issues or doctrines? I'll go first: 3- Lack of documentation of date of Priesthood Restoration /correlated effort to fit the restoration narrative. How can this VERY im...

Is anyone aware of any other Church (aside from Jehovah’s Witnesses where shunning the transgressor is very similar) that is as exclusionary as the LDS Church? A very small percentage of the Church is receiving its highest sacraments, which in turn, becomes so miniscule in the macro view of the worl...

Hello all, I'd like to get some opinions on the Word of Wisdom. I would not really be one to imbibe, but I am a lover of all things coffee. The way I read D&C 89, I think was pretty clear. More of a, hey, "these things can be addictive so be wise and make your own decision on how it affects you phys...

One of the early Mormon Stories Podcasts was an episode with Greg Kearney, an active Mason and active Mormon. I have ridden the wave of his explanations for Masonry in the Endowment for a long time. In essence, he indicated that the "ritual" of the endowment (signs, tokens, etc.) is NOT the Endowmen...

I recently started reading The Lost Symbol... This may be an old subject on this board but I found this in one of the beginning chapters: Tonight, however, he sensed a foreboding solemnity in the Temple Room, and his mind began replaying all the dire warnings he had been given on his journey, threat...

Thanks everyone for your advice up to this point. I think one of the better approaches these days would be to see if I can get her (DW) to read one of the essays. Perhaps start with the Polygamy or Book of Mormon Translation essay? Any other suggestions are appreciated. One thing I don't want to do ...

So yesterday I watched or listened to everything on YouTube about the CES letter, his disciplinary council etc. The one thing that he never gets in to is how all of this affected his spouse and children. I think he alludes to the fact that his wife knows some of the issues, but remains pretty tight ...

I am a 40ish year old member living in the Mormon belt. Before the NOM page went off line for a while, I was a lurker off and on for several years. I had arrived to a place where I really felt okay about church history controversies and other bothering discoveries and was enjoying my calling as EQ i...

I've been wanting to throw out the link to one of the essays on my Facebook page just to see what kind of reaction I would get from family members (have several in high level-local leadership positions). I would preface it by encouraging people to read all the essays conveniently located on the upda...
