Polygamists in the News
Loss of salvation doesn’t burden religion, the government says in polygamous sect food stamp case. Citing the Utah Territorial Fair Abuse Act of 1878, Judge Cliven B. Jensen ruled, "A Mormon's got the right to Mormonate as long as it is in accord with the will of his Prophet, even if he is one of th...

Dr. Strange and the Hoary Hosts of Hagoth
Having spent a few years on the NOM board, I have come to appreciate the Hoary Hosts of Hagoth (Red Ryder, Corsair, Zadok - just to name a few - and Hagoth himself) and I suspect many of you have such an appreciation as well. It is for that reason, that I am looking forward to the new movie Dr. Stra...

Re: Dad confronts me about FC
If someone was to confront me about Fort Collins, I might reply "Go Rams!" if I thought they were a Colorado State fan. Otherwise, what is meant by FC?

Re: Why the church opposes equality - Moral Foundation Theory
An alternative idea, that the opposition to equality is based on reasons that are wholly amoral, might also be considered. To slave owners, slaves are a means of labor for both the convenience of their owner and economic profit. The patriarchy benefits from the subservience of women in somewhat the ...

Re: List of people here who changed their names
I agree with you that if someone wants anonymity, we'll all respect that, of course. Excellent point. If some feared their old names may have given away their "in real-life identity", they might seek to avoid the pitchforks and torches of their fellow ward members when speaking their mind on this f...

Re: Have our friends at the COB around this site yet?
They probably have a live feed from the NSA Data Center in Bluffdale, Utah. Remember, many LDS employees work there and their first oath is to the Church. Once the data is transferred to the COB, NOM is probably one of the most enjoyable of assignments for ferreting out both praise and misgivings of...

Re: What improvements would you want for church?
I would encourage new chapels and Temples to have stained glass. While it might not lead to new light and knowledge entering our Magisterium, the windows could immediately shed light on the local level.

Re: Korihor's letters to BP
No response from the Bishop might be his own way of looking out for you, as opposed to the old method of kicking it up the line so you could eventually be burnt at the Stake level. Being a ravening wolf in Mr. Mac Suit Emporium clothing is not for the kind hearted, even if they are a bishop.

McMullin's Utah electors would just throw their votes to Trump in the Electoral College roll call if it looked close after Texas cast its votes for Trump.

Re: How did you find the new site?
Could NOM 2.0 be listed at the Mormon Archipelago, Wheat & Tares, and Mormon Matters? BTW, in the subtitle, I think you might attract a larger audience if you changed the term faith transition to faith reevaluation . I know as a member, that would be less off-putting to me. I intend for my next tran...
