NOM

A few years back there was some chatter about maybe opening up coffee as an acceptable Mormon beverage but that was shot down hard taking green tea with it. I knew some folks who felt they had to repent after that. Green tea is probably the healthiest thing you could possibly put in your body. Too ...

Maybe they should also frame the Code of Hammurabi and the laws of the other ancient pagan theocracies the Ten Commandments were plagiarized from.

I apologize for getting tangentially political here. Somehow I thought I was in the Coffee Shop. I will gladly delete anything I said here if asked to.

This is true about the site. If it is a site for a single ideology, the targets of the inevitable name-calling will either not participate (as proven so far) or react to the name-calling then get shushed then get banned. For what it is worth - that is not unique to NOM. That is true for every conve...

Yeah! That made me wonder if some people know how to slip non-facts into Wikipedia. :shock: She is depicted as being like the Three Nephites, she still hangs around earth, was sighted a few times up through the 1980's. Oh boy. I would love to hang out with her! Is there a protocol for summoning her...

Sounds interesting. It was. It sold out the huge ballroom at the SLC Grand America. By the raise of hands it was about 75-80% ex/post/inactive Mormon and about 5-10% active Mormon. Last week I had lunch with a guy who is an active believing Mormon who had reached the end of his rope with treatment ...

Getting in touch with RFM, Bill, or John Dehlin will only make things worse on the site. They do everything they can to bring down the church, and they do it in a bad way. If you want to appeal to the DEI, men can become women, and let's worship wokeness crowd, then you should definitely cater to t...

Paul Stamets, who you might know from the Fantastic Fungi documentary, will be the keynote speaker at the Psychedelics in the Beehive conference this Friday at the Grand America Hotel. Paul is a mycologist and one of the biggest names in psychedelics. If you're interested in psychedelics and their f...

Once again, this cannot be looked at through a black-and-white camera. Here's my observation from personal experience with LGBTQ friends who grew up in Mormon families. The majority are either disowned or submitted to either a constant stream of harassment, accusation, guilting, and denial, or an en...

Mayan, you should have the Russian hackers give your programming an integrity check. Needless repetitions of bogus answers could be some capacitor problem. I dunno. It works for Trump. I watched it as it happened. I watched what Trump said and did, and what he did not say and do. Maybe you thought ...

Hagoth, do you by chance see any differences between Trump's businesses and Biden's so-called businesses? Any at all? Anything? I'll just say that it's hard to compare apples to oranges when you have a bag of apples but the orange guys can't seem to actually find the oranges they are certain must b...

So, the Democrats have a concrete paper trail showing that Trump was doing exactly what the Republicans are accusing Biden of, but failing to find any proof. Will Republicans hold Trump to the same standard? I'm gonna say no. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/04/us/politics/trump-hotels-foreign-busine...

The trick for the Conman is not to survive lying. The key is to grant other people their differences and not get wrapped up in insignificant bullshit. People can stay tangentially connected to the church circle without going all in. I have a friend who is the ward librarian and he takes it very ser...

...hoping your spouse will change something as basic as religious belief just is not a good way to have a stable marriage. Either accept she is Mormon and love her for it, or love her in spite of it. But if you love her, then love who she IS, not who you wish she was, because that is not love. You ...

I only listen on a podcasting app. It's all audio, so I don't encounter any click bait.

I'm sure if Trump gets elected it will all be very entertaining to his followers. Until it isn't anymore. But then, we only care about entertainment value, don't we?

I would be happy if both Trump and Biden were removed. I'd take Bernie over either of them. Being old is not as much of a curse as it used to be. Bernie is a populist. How is he different than Trump? He is different. I am just curious why someone would not vote for Trump but would vote for Bernie. ...

It would be fun if some scenes of the movie were shot in the catacombs of the Neil A. Maxwell building and showing the secret apologetics ceremony with the goat. Not any animal cruelty, just where they are murmuring words of love and beginning to shout wild Adamic phrases before donning their goats...

You hear the "wise" or experienced priesthood holders do this very frequently, sounding like "spiritual giants" and intelligent guys who really understand the gospel even though when you break down their argument or premise, there's not a lot that becomes very defensible, or is equally susceptible ...
