Linked - Your post is so sad. It hurts to think of what you're going through, and also what she is going through. I don't have personal experience, but you're definitely in my thoughts, as is she. It's understandable that you dislike the things your son is picking up from others. You have a right to...

I'll go ahead and prophesy an earthquake in California. If it happens people will think I'm psychic, if not, then they'll forget I ever posted this.

I'll predict a subduction earthquake in the NW states (separate from the CA quake) and an eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera.

Or subcutaneous marker implants. Anyone for pierced nipples?

Oooh - how about a tattoo of 666!!!

Other churches are also led by people who have their own lives, own families, and own homes, and they step up to the plate every time there's a crisis. The difference is that they are used to housing people during emergencies and they have volunteer members who pitch in, and if someone's home has be...

Next time; if there is one; bring some comfortable camp chairs to sit in

Or pack the camp chairs, and go camping instead.

I came here to say this.

I appreciate all the kind words. We're really fine. It was more of a mental shift than any physical or formal change. Our names are still on the books and we don't have plans to resign. We just don't consider ourselves LDS anymore. It feels strange to write that. I don't harbor ill will to the SP. ...

It would hurt to be told you don't really have the right to vote no, or to exercise your own free agency. The message is clear, of course, but the initial impact is a slap in the face. Sorry you all went through that. The journey through the Rabbit Hole is twisted and can be ugly, but it's also the ...

Good grief! The "Real Estate Arm" of the cult. Nice way to behave like a church, TSCC.

What's a kindle? :lol: We should have a book club post to discuss the book. I might have to look into a kindle unless there's a rock in a hat iPad translation app. I'll check with Elder Uchtdorf. RR- I think there may be an app on the computer. Also, if you have an iPhone or iPad, there's a great K...

Thanks for alerting us about that - I had it on pre-order, so I paid only $2.99 for the Kindle version. I can see what I'll be doing for the next few days.

I think I must live in Outer Darkness - I've never seen these are my local "mission field" Costco.

You'll need a TR to order them, I believe. You can order them with your own TR, but if he hasn't yet been through the temple, he may not be able to order them. It's been a while since I had to order the ugly, nasty things, so I could be way wrong. If you're in the Moridor, go to one of the stores th...

I feel bad that at first I felt some enjoyment at the spectacle. If no criminal charges turn up, then I feel sorry for the guy for the complete public shaming. Since when is it OK to release ex-communications to the press, especially with enough vague detail about what it was NOT to cause endless s...

I can't imagine how devastating this will be for him, his family and everyone who knows them. Whatever he did, couldn't it have been handled more gracefully? We have often discussed here what would happen to a GA's life if he lost his testimony. Regardless of whether Hamula boinked the babysitter o...

. Papa D - your son is so fortunate to have you and DW on his side as he makes the transition. I'm a Mama Dragon, with an adult trans daughter (formerly a son). My child has not yet had surgery, but has been on hormones for a long while, dresses as a female (but not always) and has legally changed h...

I can't remember who said these, but I love them - they're paraphrased here: "Sex Prevention Suit" (who came up with that one? it's so perfect!) "In one (sentence? statement?) the church tells you it has all the answers, and not to ask questions." (I'm sure I messed up the exact phrasing, but that q...

Thanks for posting an update, MoPag - you're in my thoughts every single day. I'm touched by the beautiful acts of friendship and support you've had, and I'm so glad those thoughtful things helped you through such a devastating time. Your DD is in our thoughts here, too - I've wondered and worried o...

Why keep a Magic Ranger Ring (or whatever) when you realize it's all fiction and that you're sending a message to the Magic Ranger scam program that says you believe in it, because after all, you still have it. Hey Wait!!! Does my Magic Ranger Ring have an expiration date??? Yes - didn't you see th...

Pfffft. Don't give them the satisfaction. You may think you are making a statement, but in a way you are legitimizing their authority - "here is your recommend back you authority figure you". The very fact you are going into a leader's office to hand him back a Recommend to some extent is recognizi...

Anyone up for another round of group therapy?

Either Wednesday or Thursday night this week?

Someone suggest a time.

Count me in, if it's a go!
