Re: Hope or Hopeless???

If you want to stick around at church, then stick around. It's your life and more than ever it's your interpretation of spirituality and mormonism - once you come to a realisation that the brethren might not be any more inspired than you are with regard to how you live then you are free to do as you...

I'm also looking forward to hearing you on a podcast.

OT, but what the heck is going on with the Netherlands and Turkey? Could you write a little on the Miscelaneous page?
OK - take a look at the Miscellaneous page

Turks and the Dutch

In response to a request on another thread this is a ham fisted attempt to explain what's going on in Europe right now. The Dutch are about to go to the polls to vote for a government. Right-Wing parties are having a resurgence in Europe and there is a right wing politician called Geert Wilders who ...

Hello darlings

I might hang out here for a while. It's a bit less intense than exmo reddit. Mormon since 11 yrs old. Non-mormon community. Mission. Married within 3 months of mission, first kid 9 months later. More kids. lots of school. All as we're supposed to do. I don't know when the rot set in/my liberation st...

Consiglieri

Are you the radio free mormon host? If so, please accept my admiration and gratitude. The broadcasts really are superb. Anyway that's enough of that, sycophantic worship of those who know better than you is more at home elsewhere ;)

Re: -800 Units in Europe

If your contact is right this news is astounding, there is no other way to look at this but crisis. Actually there is another way, that is that the brethren have realised that stretched wards over-burden the members causing burnout and disillusionment as such wards/branches should be combined - howe...

Northern Europe also includes the UK - we watched the Northern European broadcast last week with Ballard.

Re: The Ward Pariah

Not yet a pariah. But we will see how it goes. Recently released from the bishopric at my request, and I don't see my self becoming more orthodox any time soon. Temple recommend lapsed, I have let the exec sec know I won't be needing an interview. I'm the other side of the pond and I tend to think w...

Re: An interesting training

IF the church has a future in Europe in 10 -20 years: this is it. Complete honesty, acceptance and freedom of belief and interpretation, while keeping an association within mormonism. I fear that if I was to be as open as this I would find myself marginalised pretty darn quick. Oh, and hello - first...
