NOM

That's great advice, Red! I'll have to bring this up with her. She doesn't know I'm on this forum yet though, is that bad?! No - I wouldn't bring up this forum tbh... it's a good place for you to have some community and if you tell your wife before she's ready for a place like this it could really ...

FWIW I think Joseph Smith was a sexual predator. I don't think he was a pedophile - that has very specific (technical) meaning and I don't think that's an appropriate label *and* it turns anyone off that might otherwise be willing to listen to the problems with Joseph Smith. But he was a predator - ...

This is a perfect example of why I don't trust my kid to be taught at church - the idea that they're telling them to ignore everything they can see and read to focus on a box that you won't ever actually see if just awful. I have a feeling that if you showed this to a Mormon and changed the wording ...

So sorry! Like Linked I don't have any great advice since I'm in a similar situation, but definitely feel for you since I know my wife reads some of the craziest apologetics and assumes everything else is unreliable. If nothing else hopefully you can vent here and maybe take some of the edge off, bu...

The wife’s aunt lives there. They are extremely happy today. They admitted they have no idea how it will be staffed because they can’t get enough workers for the DC temple. They go 1 day a week to work in DC now. That will end when they get there own. One of the greatest ironies of Mormonism is tha...

A talk on Fortune Tellers blessings.

I know you're not referring to patriarchal blessings

That's it? Already over... and no RMN all day? Oaks must be really feeling it right now because it's almost his.

Fingers crossed the next generation will be coming in with a whole different perspective than the current leadership

A bit of a snooze fest really...

This seems like one of the most pointless sessions in years based on the reactions in the threads.

We haven't heard from Rusty yet, which is weird he usually likes to take the stage at least once per session. But since he couldn't talk, every speaker made sure to completely kiss the inside and outside of his a$$. And now it is nap time. Didn't RMN have to sit last time during his talks? I'm wond...

Thanks to those of you who are going to sit through this and entertain people like me who aren't going to watch any of it.

You're all legends!

My running theory is that Nelson had a handful of things he wanted to do in order to cement his legacy and he burned through them quickly because he's so old... now he's going to be more on the 'adjustment' period where they just make minor changes and proclaim that as divine "inspirations" as Nelso...

I just find it funny that the Utah flag now features a symbol that came from the Masons.

It'll happen someday and they'll use this to justify the change, completely ignoring the rules they set in the interim

This reminds me of the dude on Twitter that said he asked Chat GPT to write the Book of Mormon with a whole ton of prerequisites and Chat GPT said they couldn't do it so the only conclusion therefore is that the BoM is true and joseph could've never written it. The wise, old saying still holds true:...

Also, what did Joseph think someone else would do with the copyright? I mean, if the guy who actually claimed to have discovered and translated a gold book of scripture couldn't get people to buy it in an environment like the Burned Over District, who in Canada would be delusional enough to think t...

2. How likely is it that the board of directors will demand an immediate super secret ex-communication of Brother Nemo before its April Conference? No chance - as stupid as they are, I think they are well aware that excommunicating Nemo would elevate him exponentially and would expose that many mor...

It's crazy that this is coming from the Maxwell Institute because as has already been said in the thread, if you take this one step further the entire need for Mormonism crumbles and undercuts Joseph Smith's First Vision claims as well. Not that most members will ever read the book, but it's amazing...

I've killed so many threads and group chats that I no longer feel it - I'm like Dexter when it comes to killing off threads! But to Hagoth's and Alas' points, we visited my in-laws in AZ last week and my mother in law was talking about how many people have not returned since COVID and she was perple...

That Word of Wisdom had me laughing out loud... my kid asked why I was laughing and I had to make something up.

These are great- I already shared the WoW with some people because it's so goofy and yet awesome at all once!
