NOM

Love the commentary. Let me simplify and share how I reframed this. If I wasn’t born Mormon, let’s just say for this example I would be a catholic. As a catholic, I would attend church with my family. Sit by them on the pew. Participate in milestone events. Celebrate Easter and Christmas. And live m...

Years ago, I used to strongly resist (in my mind) the oft-voiced idea that the "middle way" was inevitably temporary and that no one would continue to try to make it work in the long term. I guess I didn't want my future to be that easily predictable. I still identify more with the NOM label than a...

Just wondering if anybody knows if tithing was required in the time of jesus to attend the temple ??? Have you read The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by Saramago? I highly recommend it. It is brilliant. It puts a whole new twist into WWJD. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gospel_According_to_...

The choir sang Christmas music.

The speaker talked about genealogy and attending the temple.

The choir sang more Christmas music.

We all went home after one hour!

Why am I not surprised?

Bishop of the Year!!!!

If I was Bishop:

One temple recommend for you! And you! And you!

Like Oprah…: everyone gets a temple recommend!

I stopped in to Kish’s house the other night to say hi.

Turns out he’s now an ordained noodle.

You too can be ordained for $59.

Greetings from Kolob!

Return & Report: Last week I drank one soda at lunch. A Coke Zero. Exercised on the bike for combined total of 85 minutes. Goal: continue above and increase exercise minutes. Result: feel better from effort. Body and legs a bit sore. Now to the this part: Poop should be produced every four to five d...

Dirty Bird, what about cholesterol levels? I run high and my doc is telling me to avoid all hooved animals. Red meat, pork, etc.

I’m interested in the inflammation reduction primary to alleviate low back pain from a herniated disc that flares up occasionally. I've been working on reducing my sugar intake. I love Coke and DP, but I've cut way back on those to just a couple times per month. As a regular dancer partner with Mar...

ME,

Run that orca pic through Bing again but substitute moon pies for apostles in suits.

Dirty Bird, I’ll take your challenge and switch up my diet based on your recommendations. I feel I eat fairly normal for an American with moderate servings and moderate sugars. My biggest problem is lunch during my corporate work hour. I sit 80% or my work day behind a computer and step out daily wi...

I see similar polarities in health, medicine and pharma. Take Ozempic, for example. Clearly not being an obese FF is a good idea, but damn. Seems like the benefit was oversold a bit and the risk was undersold. Continue please. Close family member has been taking this to lose 20 lbs for cosmetic rea...

That’s some weird stuff! The man with the “third leg” near the bottom right corner. The half bodies…

This is hilarious.

Hey stranger! Long time no see. First… congrats on the divorce. Hope it all went well considering it’s a major life change. Second…. Ignore the letter. Their treehouse, their rules! From my experience as a ward clerk, I’ve seen a few cases where the other spouse was honest and positive and gave a gr...

I know two or three people that are wealthy successful leader types that never went to college. One uncle dropped out of high school but always had a knack for negotiations and opportunities to put business deals together. I think the church is good at creating leaders who fit their organization str...

I’m topping this post for Sloth as I ran into him over on the Reddit exmo board and was reminded of this post.

Great to chat with you all.

It's been awhile since we had a NOM conference call.

I’m dialed in waiting for others to join. I posted this to the exmo Reddit a few minutes ago. Let’s see what happens.

A response to Jeff Holland's warning that if you stop clinging to the lifeboat you are surrendering yourself to be lost in the storm. But when you finally do let go you realize it was much scarier in the boat than out. Can you change that stay in the boat picture so that there is also a beach in vi...
