Re: Communication skills
Reminds me of the Mehrabian Study in the 70s, Alas. When communicating emotionality, it's what... 52% body language, 47% tone, and 7% the actual words? I'm sure I have the percentages off slightly, but that's the gist. Clarifying is crucial. Like are they mentally performing the perambulations from...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
Sometimes these kinds of things remind me of Stanley Milgram's famous obedience study at Harvard... If I were a bishop, would I defy the church legal counsel not to report, risk being sued by the perpetrator, and make a call that possibly saves a child? What would Jesus do? This would be a fun upda...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
One aspect of Mormonism is the interface between the real and the imagined; between the story and history. The Book of Abraham is a good example. Story : Egypt was a country discovered by Egyptus the daughter of Ham. Actual : The Egyptians called their land Kemet. The word Egypt came from the Greeks...

Re: New Prophet/President of CoC
Outside the Happy Valley Conference Center seems like a good place to make wise decisions.

New Prophet/President of CoC
Stassi D. Cramm, 61, will be the first woman to hold the office of Prophet/President of the Community of Christ Church if her call is approved by the 2025 World Conference. Until then, her title is prophet-president designate. Here is a podcast on Mormon Discussions about this topic: https://www.you...

Re: Ruminating on Mormon Ideas
Which one would represent a golden convert opportunity?
My guess is that the orangutan is the most likely, while the howler monkey would always be discussing politics in the Elders Quorum.

Re: Replacing the New Order Mormon
Or do we let this place go the way of all the others before it and let it rest? Things to think about but for now we’ve committed to another year. I want this board to continue as much as I want the Church to continue. The Church produces some wonderfully kind people. Many of my best neighbors have...

Re: Church and State; Utah and Texas
Even if public schools guaranteed wall space for every faith tradition's tenets, that is not what American public schools should be about. We are not supposed to promote a public religion. The fascist movement in America is presenting itself as Christian Nationalism. It would be better if that Logan...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
Mormonism has many sides. Two of those sides are:
1. A hopeful framework to worship God.
2. A multinational corporation with a church attached for tax purposes.

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
We like him even if some of his jokes aren’t funny. Sometimes I write with savoir-faire, sometimes I resort to flipperancy (penguin joke). No one can please all audiences, nor should we have to please everyone. Our common humanity draws us together and hopefully, this place of togetherness can be b...

More about Mormons and Martin Luther King from the Utah Historical Quarterly. It is an interesting and informative read.

Re: MLK
I thought it being Mlk day maybe we should reflect on how the church didn't like him and called him a communist etc etc. I don't have any qoutes or articles about this so I am hoping others can jump in and help on this important subject. I am 63 so I barely remember any Mlk speeches. Thanks Martin ...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
The "The New Apostolic Reformation" (NAR), not Mormonism, is where all the fanatics are headed.. the new prophet and apostles... Scary as ##***##. The current Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is a member of that Christian Nationalist movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Apostol...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
I have challenged the specific content of your posts, and you respond with lies and accusations rather than addressing the questions or topic. I don't think that is what NOM is about. I wish I could get a ruling from the moderators. You are now representing yourself as both Mormon-friendly and a te...
