NOM

Good luck in both your new job and with the ward HiPS! I've been wondering how the transition was going for you and your DW. Exciting times, and a great new adventure! Remember to let the gang know when you're back in town and have a few min free so we can do lunch or a quick hike. You are definitel...

I was reading through Alas' comments on the abortion thread and I had a random lightbulb moment that I hadn't considered before. Often times I've heard that one reason women don't get to hold the priesthood is because they get to experience pregnancy and giving birth. I've heard and read comment bef...

Agreed. But where is TSM? Shouldn't he give a true order of prayer prayer so it really counts?

Here's what I don't get... We're taught in church from the time we're in primary that we should be like Jesus, who is identical to God. But, as I get older I think to myself "Why in the hell would I want to be like that guy?" Case in point, RR's comment above: With a schedule like that, no wonder he...

A few years ago we accepted the assignment to have the elders come to dinner. My TBM DW made a yummy chicken dinner and a delicious dessert made from home grown raspberries. Anyway, one of the elders was quite socially inept. While he was snarffing down his dessert he kept saying how his mom made a ...

I know that I've mentally checked out of the church but today I had a realization that I also don't regress to magical thinking when crappy things happen. This weekend I've had a horrible case of the flu and I've been in bed for most of Saturday and all of today. First off I'll say, the flu SUCKS an...

They should give it the award for "Most widely distributed least read religious fan fiction." I mean heck, members don't read it unless they are regularly browbeaten to do so by leaders in conference and in weekly meetings. It would be awesome too if part of the honor mentioned the Smithsonian lette...

Thanks to those that were able to come! Great food, awesome conversation! Honestly, meeting these great NOMs in real life has been so good for my mental health. Lunches and hikes with these friends is my therapy. Thanks guys, you know who you are. :) It's so great to meet people who are in similar s...

There are 4 of us meeting for lunch at noon on Friday in SLC, if anyone else is interested either reply here or PM me and I'll let you know the restaurant.

Thanks!

Just wondering if there would be anyone interested in a NOM lunch this week (Thurs or Fri) in either SLC or Davis county...? Not sure if the Gateway crowd is still meeting regularly?

Wait... I know he's dead and all, and out of respect they probably waited until now to quietly remove it (I mean, assuredly the church brass is embarrassed by that talk), but I wonder why Boyd himself isn't appearing to the 15 bigs and demanding it be left on? If it was important enough to scar the ...

This reminds me of an experience I read about years ago from a poster named Craig Paxton. (He used to post on NOM and other sites in the DAMU). Anyway, as I recall, awhile after Craig went through his loss of faith, his bishop called him in for an interview to see if he had changed his mind about th...

A watching and very surprised white lamanite here....

Will be interesting to see the result and the aftermath.

Maybe NOM 2.0 is a brave new world, but on NOM the original I got moderated for using "TSCC".

Not to derail but if you ever go to the Manti temple you will see a pterodactyl painted on the back wall of the garden room. It's there, I've seen it. I hope that temple never goes modern with the movie screens. The murals painted in the various rooms are a fascinating peek into the minds of the sai...

Beast, my virtual friend, this was very well done. You present your position clearly, articulately, and unapologetically. I’m sorry this initially caused your family some angst. I hope they continue to love and support you regardless. So awesome that you can now be authentic and open. It’s also fant...

Tithing is one of my biggest issues with the church. The ONLY thing that anyone can testify is absolutely true about tithing is that if you pay it, the church has your money and you don't. Period. Anything beyond that is speculation and confirmation bias. It boils my blood to think about how much mo...
