NOM

I know Adam had a brief stint as God.

What happens to us, the Lunar Society of Friends? All Joseph Smith said about us is that we exist. There are no temples I know of on the Moon. Is anyone on Earth paying us mind? There are a few Mormons here on the Earth side, but none with authority to establish a temple.

Dear Mr Kaden Kimball: In light of your experience as a Professor of Ancient Chinese History at Stanford University, the State of California has appointed you as a turner at the Department of Transportation, Manufacture Division. There is no pay, room, or board provided; you will have to secure that...

Has this ever been used in an official church publication? I've seen versions of this but I dont believe ever from any official church materials? This particular picture, as you can see from the copyright notice on the lower left, is from the "Institute for Religious Research", an evangelical organ...

I've been out long enough that I've forgotten what GAEL stands for, and I had to open the thread to refresh my memory.

But will they get paid?????? One never knows. It will be good to get Trump out of the news. He will go nutty not being the frontline of newspapers and TV news shows. Of course his other legal problems are in the works. I hope we'll hear about those as a side note. I still wonder what arrested riote...

Then there's the part in Mosiah 5 where the entire crowd says this in unison: 2 And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mig...

Mosiah xv: 1-4 is apologetics for the ridiculous nonsense (excuse me, holy mystery ) of the Trinity. Much of the Trinitarian stuff (like calling Mary the "mother of God") has been edited out of the Book of Mormon, but not that passage. Also the testimony of the eight witnesses says that the Father, ...

Considering that Joe uses "thou" and "ye" interchangeably, as in "O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me?", without distinction of number¹ or social station,² it's not correct Early Modern English. Joe would have been at least somewhat familiar with EModE, as he was familiar with the KJV. We also kno...

Some people quit the party because they wanted to be more liberal. Most wanted to take the party back to conservatism. Last time a bunch broke off and created the Tea Party. Most of us are not extreme, but the Republican party isn't representing us anymore. So, stay tuned for something different. W...

And why are you surprised that I believe in Homeopathy? I don't know. Given that you believe that taxation is theft and support the most obvious con-man this side of L. Ron Hubbard, I shouldn't be. At this point, my opinion of your words is so low that if you told me that the Earth is round, I'd ha...

It's simple doublethink. Trump lies more than any other leader, yet he's the most honest. 2 + 2 both = 4 and = 5, but 4 ≠ 5. Jesus was born both before the death of Herod the Great (4 BCE) and after the ascension of Quirinius to the governorship of Syria (6 CE). So, like if half of the nation claime...

If you were fighting for something, what would that be?

For truth and for the inviolable dignity of all people.

Most of this post is beneath refutation, so I'll only address those parts thereof which particularly interest or amuse me. Dogwhistles have a common element: their name, stript of context, and interpreted literally, generally names something bad or scary. "Welfare queens" are a drain on the State! "...

What does FT mean? Yes, FT is full-time. PT is part-time. I think it's kind of interesting that was an unfamilar abbreviation to you because I assure you that it is commonly used in women's groups when discussing their jobs and life. I don't spend much time in such groups. The first place my mind w...

What does FT mean?

Thank you all. I am glad to be so warmly received here, even after my long absence.

There has been a bunch of hubub recently by Lindsay Hansen Park about sexism from ExMormon men. She wrote this letter about it: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/yearofpolygamy/2021/01/an-open-letter-to-the-exmormon-men-about-sexism/ I’m a man. Not ExMormon. I read most of this and it was extremely dif...

You have barely thought about Mormonism for years, you move on to other things, gender transition intervenes, and you decide to visit NOM again, not to get support, but on a lark. I may not have told the people here, but I am a trans woman (pronouns she/her). You know you’ve turned a corner when yo...

There follows a novella describing my gender transition. "Very short intro" indeed. Be advised that I briefly discuss sexual matters. My entire life, I just assumed I was a boy, because everyone told me so. My first gender experience was during Thanksgiving, 1998, when I was 16 months old. I remembe...
