Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?

Re: Community
This has been a hurdle for us as well. Had a good chat last night with spouseman about how cultural differences influence our assumptions of how to act. Learning the culture will help us make friends. So that means an ecological study of how people act and how they make friends. In mormonism your fr...

Re: lol Stake President calling all families to tell them to stay inside today due to riots... in the suburbs
My wife just got a call that the stake president in our area is telling all families to shelter inside tonight - do not even go out on the yards, because he was told (I don't know if this is via revelation or by local authorities) that there would be riots tonight. Now to be fair you could make thi...
Re: Curious
What metrics are we using here? Is it better off financially, with family, emotionally, spiritually, etc? Just curious - it's an interesting thought, but I wasn't sure if this was more church related of 2020 election related. :) However you choose, but please share your rationale for why you feel t...

Are you better off than you were four years ago? Why or why not? Do you think others are better or worse off than they were?

Re: What will change?
One change I would really love to see and I think is very possible is improving assistive technology for the hard of hearing and deaf. I am hard of hearing and have recently embraced what the Deaf community does to better navigate life in a world full of hearing privilege. I jokingly say "I'm in it...

Re: What will change?
This reminds me of an old song, that doesn’t get played much. It was written when the WWII generation thought the boomers were ruining the world and of course blaming the younger generation for all the messes they had actually started. It was called “we didn’t start the fire”. It mentions a lot of ...

What will change?
Between COVID, riots, executive orders, upcoming election...I feel like the world may look very, very different for us all in a year, 2 years. What do you think will emerge?

Re: Horrifying Initiatory Story on Reddit
As far as molestation accusations from the temple, the thing that surprises me is that this is not more common. Sexual abuse of kids is rampant in Mormonism. Every few months some new case surfaces where someone in a leadership position is arrested for messing with kids. The whole system is prime g...

Re: Mormon Stories Interviews RFM
Watching this series now. I'm on episode 5. John seems to be challenged by you quite a bit. :lol: . I'm intrigued by the "do people want a wizard" conversation in episode 4. I think lots of LDS people care less whether it is true and more about ascending into the elite. Being Mormon is elite compare...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?
Alas, how are you feeling? Check in.... My daughter and I were tested in a community screening. We are both negative. At this point, I'm bored, tired, lonely, and uncertain about getting out and doing anything. I am debating on buying a major purchase like a truck/ camper/ hot tub or off sheer bored...

Coffee with caramel creamer this afternoon. Unbearably drowsy so went for it. I usually don't take caffeine after 2pm.

Re: Temple Initiatory: Men vs. Women.
Going through in 2000, it was just awkward and weird.
My endowment made me panicky though.
I agree with everything Alas said about the symbolism of God's daughter in law, but I didn't see that right away.

Re: LDS Church proposes new community near future Tooele Valley Temple
I used to live in Tooele. The Erda location was controversial for a few reasons. 1- land was donated on the East Bench of Tooele proper, and the church chose Erda, buying land to do it. 2-The temple site includes an old mom and pop restaurant, that's being forced out-- they would have closed anyway ...

Re: Finally finished Brodie's NMKMH. Shaken
I've said before that disaffected members feel betrayed three times. Once when they learn the truth. Once when they experience the social consequences of unbelief. Once when the church gaslights and blames them after it comes a little cleaner. I've come to realize that this is overly simplistic, th...

Re: Greenleaf on Netflix
Now that I'm at a bona fide keyboard and it's easier to be a bit less vague than usual, the show is about an adult daughter and her daughter moving back home. The family is running a megachurch in Tennessee. There's wealth, tax fraud, political leveraging, sexual abuse coverups and payoffs, religiou...
