NOM

My last few years in the church I could no longer participate in temple (worthiness) interviews and let another man judge my worthiness. Only God can do that no matter how you spin it !!! That is one of the biggest red flags for me and I'm not sure why that many people don't see it .

Speaking about the use of Mormon I think that term will be in full use right after Rusty goes to the C.K. I dont think it will ever go away as it is ingrained into the tscc.

Update : No Im not getting a divorce but I drink coffee and we study scriptures at home sunday mornings with a nice leisurely brunch (Bible only) I think her shelf is now overloaded about to break with the help of an Ass Branch president !!

Just wait until Bednar becomes part of the 1st presidency he already claims anything he says is scripture !!!

I finally decided I didnt want to live what time I have left on earth living a lie . I no longer live under my wifes threat of divorce , if thats what she decides soooo be it !!!!! I have reclaimed my life I feel sooo much better. I still believe in basic Christianity.

Nope not the same Bishop. I resigned this time via email to salt lake. Im hoping it will take less time but who knows. Dont really care at this point, it is such a relief to be free !!!! Thanks to all on this site who have helped me over the years of anguish. Ive come a long way since almost taking ...

I have broken the chains once again !!! I sent in my resignation, let the chips fall where they may !

I would call in sick with some terrible unknown disease!!

We can only hope so !!

Way to go graey !!! You are difinetly doing service work in your new calling, please keep it up is needed more than you know. God Bless.

So true what dog bite said at age 61 I have noticed over the years is how my values have shifted. I still care about the world, my country and fellow human beings but in different ways than I used to. I think many of us grow up and realize after investigating the churches truth claims they are not w...

I cannot express how trapped I feel !!! I literally have tried everything to get my wifes head out of the sand. She will not budge and I have pretty much given up on her until she shows some sign of comming around. I have tried to cope by doing my own thing i.e. wearing jeans & golf shirt to church,...

Does anyone know what the official church stance is if one partner (married and also in the temple) leaves the church ? I think I read somewhere the TBM partner is supposed to stay in the marriage if possible ? Need some help please.

I am really into near death experiences, I have read many books and watched many videos concerning them . The one thing I noticed in all the different accounts/experiences is that God, Jesus or a supreme being never asks the person that has just died what religion were you on earth ? This really str...

I'm pretty sure you will need " therapy " to clear that image from your mind !!!!

Perhaps incidents like this will hasten the demise of the church !!

I can really relate to this. When we were younger and the kids little we struggled mightily financially. I could not find a decent job so I ended up in the military that helped slightly but we were still broke all the time. It came down to tithing or food/bills it was a tough choice so I paid part o...

Im considering showing up to church in a golf shirt and Jean's. Not doing any talks or taking any callings having it my way !!! Also considering trying to get excommunicated down the road!! Any thoughts on having it my way ? A long fall from grace after serving in the branch presidency, EQ president...

Talking to my TBM wife and I mentioned that Russell M Nelson is presiding over the largest church exodus in a century her response: That's just God making sure that less faithful members who are not needed anyway are leaving to keep the Celestial kingdom pure !!! I looked at her shook my head and th...

Yes it was me. Ready to move on now with or without my wife.
