Re: Resources for Bible authorship and history for Sunday School

I don't have many resources, but i always ask why.
Why do we even believe in the selection of writings found in the OT?

Re: Cringe Worthy Degrees of TBM Piousness

Several years ago, I came down with an acute illness that left me unable to eat or drink for several days. I became so dehydrated I needed my wife to take me the the hospital. My wife called the neighbor, explained the situation, and asked if she could take our two small kids for a few hours. She co...

Re: Konfession Time

I have booze stashed in the kitchen. My husband, though an antimo, doesn't drink and disapproves of it. Whenever he finds a bottle of something and comments on it, I say it's for cooking. Yeah, I cook with Mike's harder lemonade. He still has no clue that I drink. This is great. I love cooking. The...

Re: Stats on members leaving?

One thing for certain is more are joining than officially leaving. However, we know about 70-80% who join leave unofficially. If 70-80% of those who join leave, is the 30% who stay enough to offset those who are the long-termers who are leaving? Over time, probably not. The church claims about 16 m...

Re: Snufferites

I find the snufferites stuck between being TBMs and NOMs. They want to believe that JS was a prophet, and that all of his magic was true, and yet not believe in the current leaders. Over time, they will drift away from JS and his teachings, and then what? Not sure. Many have already taken the hard r...

Re: Does having an unpaid clergy imply fundamentalism?

I just sets the standard that everyone will commit untold hours with no expectation of payment. If the bishop isn’t paid, then why would anyone else?

Konfession Time

In the spirit of fellow NOM Korihor, it is fitting to have a moment to confess our sins. I freely admit over the past few months I have become a garment checker. Yes, I gaze at people to determine if they are wearing garments. The twist now is I’m checking if they don’t have garments. If the do not ...

Re: The lie of unity at the top levels

Most Mormons, I'm guessing, have never been in a executive board meeting or a CIO meeting. I'm talking work, it religion. There are many views and ideas. Difference are valued, and lead to innovation. The mormon CIO leadership team, aka Q15, is probably no different. They all have their own views, a...

Re: A Simple World View

I do not believe much about religion anymore. That doesn't mean I also accept all science as fact. There are very similar threads in both religion and science. For example, the science of the universe or the big bang is a theory. It may be wrong. Some people hold to religion and the big bang in the ...

Re: Help, I need references about JS sharing the FV

Richard Bushman gave a talk at BYU-H this year and he spoke the the first visions and that nobody knew about it for the first 10 years of the church. He wondered what their testimony was built on as they did not know or think of JS as a prophet at that time. This is a good source for your TBM wife. ...
