Or why "they're not really happy" when they look extremely happy.

What a mind melt. Where else is happy not happy? Crying not sad? Black not white? Garments appropriate lawn mowing attire?

Welcome to the new normal Flaming liberal apostate! Just wait until the rest of your life falls apart and they blame the apostasy. My dad's family is half active TBM's and half inactive. The inactive side can't ever do anything right and their problems often get blamed on their inactivity vs making ...

I recently turned down an EQ calling. I expressed my honest reasons why I didn't want to do it. Too much time commitment and I need to focus on my family and work right now. He said to think about it and get back to him. So I did and sent a text confirming my no and that was it. Thanks but no thanks...

I'm out shopping with the wife (yes, it's Sunday!! :lol:) and she's trying on clothes. While I'm sitting here uncomfortably in the women's section, she's in the dressing room trying this and that on. Nope. Nope. Doesn't fit. Garments show. Nope. Nada. Hmmm maybe. Nope garments again. Maybe. Nope. I ...

Punjab, I've got 22,000 in my backyard if you run out.

Just stop by with your 55 gallon blue barrel.

I love this. Minimize the mormon words and lingo or flip the meaning. That's genius. Go retro. Remember when agency was free? Free agency this. Free agency that. Another code word that gets overly used is "council" thanks to Ballard. Time for family council! The wife will suggest gathering the famil...

Welcome back!

You're describing the mormon "child like" syndrome that creates a level of innocence and unawareness that comes from the culture. It's a result of: No R rated movies. No alcohol. No pre marital sex. No Monday night football. No common sense. No ability to choose your own underwear. Watching shows on...

Sorry, I can't stop laughing for a second. Kori used to change his avatar to flaming on fire hair depending on his upset he was. I had to check to see if you did the same. The problem is that the church doesn't teach people how to manage conflict or to help out those in need. The church should be a ...

desertrat
Thank you for this post. My mother just called my husband...

I thought YOU were the husband??

Congrats on the progress desertrat. It's a decision not taken lightly. If members actually knew how much thought and effort goes into these things.

Could be worse.... Bishop Deepthinker. Why would anyone ask for your opinion? Executive secretary is an auxiliary position. You're only there to serve the bishop. Schedule his appointments. Take his notes. Round up the dodgers. Harp on the expired TR's. Keep the kiddies coming in every 6 months! Fil...

There are 3 sisters serving our ward. They all have a strange style of dress, one slightly different from the other. Lots of pastel skirts and bright colored blouses. They are on bikes. Unlike the elders who traditionally ride mountain bikes or ten speeds, the sister missionaries ride bright multi-c...

I liked some of the responses you got on the LDS Freedom Forum.

I didn't know Mary was 13 or 14 when she was pregnant with Jesus. Yikes!

No, not from correlated materials.
Yes, from the internet (circa 2005) before the essays were ever written.

Why wear anything at all?

I once drove to work with my shirt off. I wish I had a copy of that post from the old NOm. It was pretty funny.

Welcome. I have not been active for about a year and a half and am now considering officially resigning. My temple reccomend expired last June. Before that I have always had a recommend and toed the line since I recieved my endowment at 19. Served a mission. Went to college for way too long and too...

Welcome to the rabbit hole Scott! Is your last name Lloyd by chance! :lol: Your among friends here who have been down this path before. We offer support, empathy, and mormon history mixed with some Penguin humor and whatever we call Kori's tripe these days! :lol: The best advice is to find out what'...

Corsair I agree with your approach. I have been going for 30 years and I have found that a selective approach is best for me. You guys should be aware that as Corsair said there are regional conferences. I just got back from one last week in Colorado City ie Short Creek Az . It was held in Warren J...

Regardless of faith it's difficult to see a family member go through this. It's never easy. Remember to breath and take care of yourself.

I'll pull up a barstool and sit for a minute. I'm no longer hurt or angry. Ok, I still get angry sometimes. But the reality is it's actually pretty funny. A 19th century frontier sex cult and it's founder are screwing up our lives nearly 200 years later. That's pretty funny. We committed ourselves t...
