Good pod cast sir! I commend you on your integrity and courage! It brought back some memories to hear about Manchester and one of the Ashton wards closing. I served there 83-85. At that time, Manchester was the highest baptizing mission in Europe. I will also say the quality of the proselyting and t...

When I listened to this on the radio this morning, it really struck me that as humans, we are so very emotionally driven, to the point of throwing logic out the window. It made me think back to when I was a TBM and the conversations I have now with TBMs now that I am not one. http://www.npr.org/2017...

I personally don't feel like I can build a connection to a community that is built on myths and fantasies. Not only do I agree with this but I'll take it a step further. The problem with the LDS community is they see their non-member neighbors and inactives as broken and lost and it is each TBM's s...

Wow; just the title brings back some pretty bitter and hurtful feelings in me. My DW had given me that book for one of our anniversaries years ago. I can't believe how easily I was sucked into the false unicorn world of this super awesome BS relationship that JS never had with Emma. How did I miss t...

This thread is worthless without (slightly better) pics! (Not really, but...)

Thanks for dressing up the thread WTF!

This site states that he started the Young Men's program in the church. I wonder if that's true! http://leslieopeterson.blogspot.com/2016/06/brigham-morris-young-madam-pattirini.html Wikipedia also mentioned that. As a cross-dresser he's a heck of a roll model to kick off that program! :shock:

Just when I think I've heard it all... I stopped by the Ogden's Own Distillery last week to check out their latest spirits. http://www.ogdensown.com/ They are famous for the Five Wives vodkas and the Porter Rockwell picture on their whisky bottles. They have a new Gin out that I really like called M...

However, the one upside to my attendance is that I've been able to run interference between the church and my family. I won't be suggesting they ask my wife directly, but this may at least allow me to urinate in peace. Dude, if your family is out, don't torture yourself anymore, unless you still be...

And it's totally true! If you give members an inch, they'll ask for a foot. Give them a foot and they'll assume they're due all of the miles in your roll (presumably of Bubble Tape?). http://www.nationwidecandy.com/mmCANDY/Images/BUBBLE-TAPE-ORIGINAL.JPG According JRH I thought it was a taffy pull?...

Just finished watching the YT video:

I really enjoyed Tyler Glenn's songs! 1:56 and 2:27

Should probably get those added to the NOM Playlist.

I agree the money collected for FoS is not directly benefiting the local ward/stake, but it does indirectly benefit it. The point I was trying to make is that the church dedicates a great deal of resource to supporting the scouting program, but there is nothing equivalent for the YW, like Friends of...

This perfect storm is simply not going to help us very much. The institutional LDS church already has their memes lined up to deal with this guy... I don't know who the Seventy might be. Even if I did, I would not bother him since it's only my own cultivated indifference to the LDS church that is g...

I would add to this the significant imbalance there is between the YW and YM programs in support, both financially and in the quality of the activities, at least in all the wards and stakes I was in over 40+ years. The YW were always scrambling for funds or making quilts while the YM went off on a b...

Guys we need to start a healing crystals MLM! We need to do it now before some enterprising 70 gives a talk about seer stones in conference and then launches his own healing crystals MLM! Bro! I'm in! I've got local rocks I've collected that could sell for quite a bit, given the right spin. Selenit...

Oh boy....ironically for me, when my X left the church years ago and my kids followed, she got into the crystals BS. I guess the COB will have a harder time killing this if it trends with the local, given they unvaulted the JS magic brown rock, er, I mean seer stone. I was in a rock shop in SLC last...

Former believer with a former believing spouse but still on the books with lots of TBM family and friends. So I've not had my name removed; honestly I don't think about it much. It's been about 1.5 years since the official resignation letter was sent to local leaders. The value of this form has mul...

This is exactly what I thought. Cheap or free labor.

Cheap as* free!

First of all - kudos to your boy for having a condom! Most kids just jump in there with that stupid ignoramus LDS dogma attitude that they will somehow resist the temptation and never go all the way; that's just time waiting to prove them wrong. If he has a steady gal he spends lots of time with and...

I am in the pious fraud camp. After reading Bushman's "Rough Stone Rolling" I am reasonably convinced that Joseph believed in what he was saying for the most part. I think he even deluded himself after a time. He modified his own memory due to the extreme social pressure of building this radical ne...
