NOM

When I hear the older dudes in HPG telling amazing, miraculous stories from their mission 50 years ago, in extreme detail, right down to word-for-word dialog, I always wonder what REALLY happened. Same with the official FV story. I think we need look no further than the before and after appearance o...

I love October!

I wish I had realized sooner that the problem was not with me - that it wasn't my fault the church seemed so messed up to me. I blamed myself for not being adequately faithful or worthy when I was losing my testimony. I was disappointed with myself that I couldn't be a stronger example of a faithful...

I'm glad to see the Introductions forum is back. Since we don't have our old introductions anymore it would be nice to have people write a brief recap of their story.

What do you think?

The First Unread Post button is nice too.

I'll try to be there too. I finally was going to make it last time until Hermey bailed out!

That is great news Hagoth. Is RSR sold at Deseret book? https://deseretbook.com/p/joseph-smith-rough-stone-rolling-richard-l-bushman-5351?variant_id=104298-paperback It even got a four star rating, plus this 1-star review: Bushman obviously spent much time in researching for this book however he wa...

As noted, I was Kishkumen on the old board. I've adopted a new name for variety of reasons. We're just glad you're back! Confessions: I discovered hard cider at a pub in Ireland. I had one every night go wind down from a hard day's work. Had a cocktail at an open bar at a wedding with Mrs Hagoth. S...

I look forward to listening to this. I hope her quiver wasn't too full when she came to her senses.

BTW, here’s an upvote for you!

NOM is like a campfire with friends. Reddit is like a drive-by shooting.

Well, the problem with RSR is that it´s being gentle and kind on JS. It does not bare all the facts. It´s glossing over quite a lot. Or put better: It sweeps stuff under the rug, but then points out: don´t mind the mess, and the lumps under the carpet. I agree. But it is a step toward a more realis...

Sounds pretty dismal, Meilingkie.

Great to hear from you again!

Amen Deepthinker. I agree with your thoughts about certainty, so I wouldn't suggest you change it. As I told my bishop, certainty is what makes it possible for people to strap on bomb vests and walk into crowded markets. What we need in this world is a lot less certainty. You're brave to do this and...

I knew the second coming was just around the corner!

Alright! The alien and the Emu have both returned.

No prompting from me at all. She just took it down from my shelf one day and started reading. Got about 20 pages in and set it aside. I thought, well, so much for that, but a week later she picked it up and started reading again. I'm acting kind of disinterested until she hits a WTF topic and wants ...

All this time I thought your name was ISOF. Whoa, my whole world just turned upside down.

It makes you feel less lonely when you can't sleep and you see someone else is hanging out here.

I watched the whole thing and for the first time in years I just listened with very little emotion and practically no fist-clenching or teeth-grinding. I just felt like I was listening to a bunch of guys who were very pleased with themselves doing their damnedest to make a mountain out of a molehill...

Funeral potatoes!
