NOM

I lasted about 8 years still in mostly because I didn't want to hurt my parents. Then my wife caught up, we quit attending, and I had to tell my TBM family. They've been pretty OK about it. Mostly we pretend that my non-attendingness non-believingness doesn't exist. How very Mormon of us (aw snap! j...

No kidding. Seems like a nutbar.

This quote from Wendy sums up EXACTLY why there's no such thing as a prophet of God: "“I have seen him changing in the last ten months,” said Sister Nelson. “It is as though he's been unleashed. He's free to finally do what he came to earth to do. … And also, he's free to follow through with things...

Dude! I am so sorry. Not being on the same page, or even in the same book has got to be tough. As I recall, you and I joined the old site around the same time, so I know how long you've been on this journey. I don't post much anymore, but you should know some of your posts have been very meaningful ...

Bearing the BKP torch as grumpily as ya pleez.

So good to see you BEAST!!! Everytime I listen to the Fixx I think of you! I LOVE the Fixx!

You nailed it. Exactly. He is the neo-BKP.

Hey Stealth! Sorry it took me so long to see your comment. Glad you're around and kicking!

Ninja in the morning; cold brew in the afternoon. No sugar, but a little frothed International Delight Almond Joy creamer turns regular coffee into Nirvana.

Add onto that, I think he really believes he is prophet, whereas, I don’t think Manson or Hinckley really believed they had a bat phone to God. When Hinckley described his “inspiration” he described a process of study, prayer, more study, and gradually feeling good about the choice. He talked about...

I just love watching Mormons try to out Morm each other and prophets try to out proph.

Yeah, that was bizarre, especially given the Masonic origins of the temple. It's amazing what you see when you actually know stuff. Even more bizarre to me was Nelson's claim that there was "power" in using the proper name of the church. What power would that be? To bore all the people you talk to ...

Well, other than 2 hour church, GC is turning out to be a revelation bust. Same as it ever was. I’ve listened to so much conference and obsessively refreshed reddit and fb watching for the “buckle up” exciting news. I feel so played. Kinda describes the entirety of the formerly Mormon experience re...

1918, I thought we might get a WWI story, but nope...a Joseph smith story.

JS fought in WWI? Cool. No doubt he is the reason the allies prevailed.

Today my daughter and I built furniture for the local furniture bank,...not that would've watched GC anyway.

I don't know who the donor would be, but the timing has me thinking it could be related to someone who doesn't want to be connected to the Courtney Kendrick and Robert Kirby fiasco... since that happened at Sunstone? I'm also curious.

Pet. Pet. Pet. ***SMACK*** Should go something like that.

All the best to you in your new adventures.

Also, “those guys” letting the rest of the group know THEY know it’s all inspired and proves we’re on the verge of a growth explosion. (Yep. You heard it here first). Somebody ought to tell "those guys" that combining groups is not historically indicative of things that are growing. :roll: Well, th...

Tonight I’m really sad. For 11 years I’ve hoped that there would be any glimmer of understanding from TBM DW about my not so subtle change in beliefs. Sometimes, albeit very very infrequently, she has given me the slightest of hints that her orthodox rigidity would flex a tiny bit to allow me some ...
