NOM

Ayn Rand is altogether odious, misanthropic, and antisocial. I regret ever associating with her "philosophy". It is refreshing not to have to believe ignominious bullshit or falsehoods, whether produced by Ayn Rand or Joseph Smith. Just googled Ayn Rand. Never heard of her. A quote I like from her ...

I have never seen this movie and now have firm plans against such as event in the future. Exactly what convinced you to watch this film in the first place? It's famous! Like, everyone on the bad movies subreddit is always all, "Thinly veiled reference to a Neil Breen movie" (paraphrasing), so I tho...

Wow. You bought that? With money? No question it is a special effects masterpiece, if the trailer is any indication. The jumping physics is especially impressive. It appears not to be available in the US. I will try to hide my disappointment. Yes, with money. Amazon Prime has graced us with so many...

2 things they won't mention at all: 1. The essays 2. Mark Hofmann I wonder if there will be any mention of current events and problems facing the world? Will they condemn the people of Erda for throwing a monkey wrench into their multi-million dollar real estate deal? Will the Brethren deal with th...

More important question is “Will MoPag be running her bi-annual NOMmentary?”

I hope to God this question doesn't end up being more than rhetorical.

10. Emily and Eliza Partridge had been hired on by Emma to help take care of her newborn son, Don Carlos. The sisters remained in the Smith home even after the baby died, and they were privately sealed to Joseph Smith in 1842 at ages 19 and 23. Two months later, Emma approached the sisters, taught ...

They will be saved. Don’t you remember that Christ’s atonement was for everyone on this earth as well as all the inhabitants of the other planets? That’s what I was taught. So what about their Temple work? I think a fella named Mark Hoffman found a Moon Quaker genealogy. We can at least help the pe...

Marc, did you check whether Jennifer was wearing the underwear she got at the Renaissance Faire a couple of years ago? Don't be thick, I don't mean you should have looked . You could have put your hand on her thigh and felt for it. Dude, the most important thing you can do is marry the right person ...

Milestones represent happiness that life is progressing "as it should." Walk when they are 9-12 months. Talk when they are 18 mo - 1 year. Go to school. on and on. When they dont hit those milestones just right it is kind of distressing. Mormonism throws extra ones in there. From the outside perspe...

I've been wanting to respond succinctly outlining why I find what they are doing is disgusting. Participating in and taking ownership of your own indoctrination and that of your family is next level messed up. If they're complicit in their own indoctrination, there's no way they could accept your p...

Nostalgic Mormon guilt seems to have krept into my soul today. It's weird when that MORmON guilt pops up when you've been done with the COJCOL-d$-Inc. thinking for a while eh? BAM! Where did that come from??? :oops: Well obviously Red Ryder's heart has been pricked by the Holy Pricker. Nothing else...

I have lost motivation to engage in the BoA and John Gee discussions. Now that I know what I know, it seems like arguing whether the tooth fairy is able to carry only coins or if it can also carry folding money. Bills only, of course. Duh. As a child, I only experienced the tooth fairy bringing a q...

Linked, it sounds like your wife holds you to an impossible standard. Does she hold herself to an impossible standard? Yes, definitely. A conflicting, impossible standard. A lot of it is the standard impossible expectations for the mormon mom. I strive to give her space to develop her own standards...

January's Mitch McConnell: I won't allow the trial until after Biden's inauguration.

February's Mitch McConnell: Trump is guilty as hell but I voted to acquit because he's no longer the president.

Kentucky should be ashamed to have a moral coward like this for a senator.

I like the BBC's analysis on this. Here's an excerpt: A year ago, only one Republican senator - Mitt Romney of Utah - voted to convict Trump. This time, he was joined by six others. It's no coincidence, however, that of those who broke ranks, three of them - Susan Collins, Ben Sasse and Bill Cassidy...

A famous dumpster fire named Twisted Pair has found its way onto Amazon Prime. Be warned that you can't just rent it. You have to own it. (At least in the UK.) IMDB summary: Identical twin brothers become hybrid A.I (artificial intelligence) entities, yet torn in different directions to achieve just...

... female "prophets"... While there were at least seven women prophets in biblical times, the patriarchy of the LDS Church now insists that God has become misogynistic, meaning He supports the Brethren's views. https://statics.ccma.cat/multimedia/jpg/6/8/1456938552086.jpg It requires some explaini...

Linked, it sounds like your wife holds you to an impossible standard. Does she hold herself to an impossible standard? It also sounds like she imagines that other people hold you to an impossible standard. Does she imagine that other people hold her to an impossible standard? Does she think she meet...

... I'm sure this plays out a lot in many relationships... Damned if you do; Damned if you don't. Once again, I know the feeling . Being up-front and honest causes strife. Being dishonest ("keeping secrets") about seed/bean-infusion drinking (as an example) causes strife. What's a normal human bein...
