NOM

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...

Trump has been ordered to pay $83 million for the defamation of E. Jean Carroll.

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...

Outside the Happy Valley Conference Center seems like a good place to make wise decisions.

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...

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.

Yeah! They're like that treasure chest that always slips away just before you see it.

Probably from the powers retained by the White Salamander.

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...

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...

Or in other words: More to come. Probably. Maybe. Or maybe not.

Let your thoughts roam free.

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.

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.

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 ...

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...

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...

Mayan, it is one thing for you to be Trump's major cheerleader, it is another for you to be the avowed critic of other posters. I find it most annoying and I wish that the moderators could establish some boundaries. moksha, when you lie to me, I may not know. When you lie about me, I may not know. ...

Mayan, would you quit following me around the forum being an annoyance?
