Re: Update on Me
Good to hear from you. It is different living as a nonbeliever in Utah. I stayed active as an unbeliever, until we got stationed at Hill AFB in Utah. Then attending church just made me crazy. We moved out of Utah and I was active again....until we moved back. Utah Mormons are really a different anim...

Re: Do you drink coffee?
It isn't the amount of caffein, but the taste. Yuck! Bitter and burned. And I do drink tea, but normally I drink that weak too because it tastes bitter. I like chai tea and green tea best. But they even have some of the bitter taste. I never would have described green tea (admittedly I've only done...

Re: Challenge: share 1 dramatic thing happening in your homeland
News of local happenings? Seeing as I live just up the road from Bundyville, I could report that the Bundys were acquitted. But everybody knows that. Or since I also live a block away from where the pligs shop (Walmart) I could report that courts have decided that welfare fraud is a religious libert...

Re: Should I follow up with BP?
Because both you and Mrs Kori are unsure about staying active, I really would just let the dust settle for a while and not do any follow up. You have friends still in the church, and the more dust you stir up, the less likely they will be comfortable with staying friends. Being a quiet disbeliever i...

Re: I wonder where _____ is???
Thanks for the kind words, I hope I didn't come across too needy! I was around long enough to recall many names who have come and gone from NOM with nary a mention. I just had a eureka moment where I realized if I NOM died, no one would notice. ;) Which is no indictment of this place or anyone here...

Re: Do you drink coffee?
Oh, and yes, I started to drink coffee trying to get a less chemical form of caffein than Diet Coke as a way to control ADD. But to make it less gaggy, I had to add cream and sweetener. What is the point of coffee if I still have to add artificial sweetener? I am in the group of, yes I like a littl...

Re: Do you drink coffee?
Let's mix it up a bit. Let's say one of the people is a Muslim, and the mom comes over and says she wants to put a team BBQ together and have some pulled pork sandwiches. How would you expect the Muslim person to react? Wouldn't it seem perfectly reasonable for the Muslim person to point out that h...

I only have my iPad and the pictures on it, so for now this is the only real flesh and blood picture I can access. I will look for a warm blooded picture of me and return and report if I find something.

Re: At odds with Religious Community
Interesting thoughts on community and how we must be cats and cats don't run in herds. One solution, I suppose is to accept being a cat. Now, for extreme introverts that may work. I almost qualify, Hermit the frog. I am in kind of a situation right now where I am feeling a need for some kind of soci...

Re: BYU Honor Code Office Sweeping Changes
I wonder if BYU just put up a curtain to separate title 9 and the honor code office. You win. Literally laughing out loud at this. Seriously, though, hopefully more victims will feel like they can get help now. This is good news, even though BYU would have never done this without Madi Barney''s ext...

Anya is someone I can contact. Last I texted her, she had seen NOM was down, but in the past was worried her X had figured out her identity, so she may come back but stay anonymous. I will let her know where to find us. Atolia is here, under a new name. She told her story, if you recognize it. She w...

Re: Saturday Night Dream
I have had the kind of dream where I am looking for the way out of the church building, but the halls go n and on. I turn a corner, and more halls with classrooms, and bishop's offices, and nobody will talk to me, and I just keep searching for the way out. And I don't know where my husband is. Is he...

I have decided that simply to stop thinking is the only way to ever make any logical sense out of Mormon doctrine. Oops, there you go again, expecting dogma to follow the rules of logic.

Alas, I should reintroduce myself
I suppose since even us old timers are giving an introduction, I should too. I am one of those "come from pioneer stock on all lines" but I am hardly that type of Mormon. I have always felt conflicted by that heritage. My grandmothers were both *that* type of Mormon, who were so proud of the heritag...

I picked Kermit cause I'm Miss Piggy. Years ago, my husband described being an incest victim like having green skin. Everyone can see that you are different. But nobody dares to ask why you are different, or even mention it. Yet it frightens them, so they stay away. So, Kermmy and me, it's not easy ...
