Re: NOMference Sunday Morning SP 2021

Way to screw up our very first perfect positive NOMference session. -10 just for that. Seriously!! Way to kill the mood Rusty! It is obvious that he is a manager, not a prophet. His doubt-shaming is awful. I think it functions more like pre-shaming. The talk isn't directed at us. We're just collate...

Re: Quoting each other, is it getting worse?

I've just been sort of drifting in and out of conference (wife has it playing in the other room) and the main thing I have noticed is that EVERYONE spends part of their talk praising and doting on Russell Nelson, and quoting him. It almost feels like they have a contractual obligation to make a dem...

+10 for Jesus fixes unfairness -100 for the Church of Jesus sitting on $100+ billion and making more money during a pandemic Well, you know, he'll fix unfairness later . Anything the church could do something about is something Jesus will fix later. Just gotta have that convenient eternal perspecti...

-10 Holland for intimating that depression can be fixed by principles of righteousness.
Maybe he thinks he fixes his that way.

Along with his gay.

I think that name was first uttered when Joseph the carpenter stubbed his toe.
Joseph the carpenter liked anachronisms as much as Joseph Smith, eh?
I can see this as a Monty Python sketch.

Re: NOMference eve!!!!

Can I start by giving Elder Holland preliminary points? I don't know whether he'll give us an uplifting talk or a taffy-pulling stinker, so I want to award him +0.

Re: Forced Turning Point

First, graey, wow. Wow. If you do accept this calling, you can delegate almost all the tasks that would make your stomach turn. No bishop can do everything a bishop is responsible for anyway. Find people to do them who love people as deeply as you do. If you don't accept it, it's not the end of the ...

Whether or not you accept a call to be a bishop, this strongly indicates that LDS leadership is either desperate ...

Re: Forced Turning Point

I don't care to continue my activity in the church, but my wife does care about her activity. And she intends on taking the kids with her. My goal is to be involved enough that I don't have to continually fight messaging that I am an unworthy father, or destined to hell for not doing priesthood-y t...

FAIR taking a page out of the Joseph Smith book:

'Polygamy is awful, but plural marriage is awesome!'

FAIR today: 'Apologetics is awful, but faithful answers is amazing!'
Either way, they're still playing the part of counsel for a guilty defendant.

Re: Well, at least here in Michigan...

At work, we have found working remotely has been advantageous and has allowed us to cut several $million in work space leases. This is something I’m surprised with the church. The church has been doing sooooo many things over the years to cut costs...I will list a few examples below, but I’m curiou...

Tough time in the land of QAnon imaginings . https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExM0e07VIAIa0o_?format=jpg&name=large Got my first dose last weekend. It was exactly like that.

Re: Thought I was finally going to hear a miraculous healing story...

And isn't this just the point of this addendum? That we want our TBM significant other to come to this conclusion, like a normal person would? I think that's the happy ending of this story, no? It's actually kind of weird... it's like she (and many other TBMs I know) believe in the blessing but don...

Re: I'm tired

One last comment on this particular issue. This really bugs me. The church makes a huge claim that it is founded on Jesus Christ. "We're Christians! Actually we're the only true Christians!" Blah, blah, blah.... Yep - this one for whatever reason is just so crushing to me, because it shows how comp...

Re: What has changed since 1850.

Sounds like 1860's apologists. Which reminds me....I was lurking over at Mormon Discussion today. Hadn't been there for a long while. I was dismayed by how utterly petty and mean spirited they are in splitting hairs in order to shade the truth in their favor. They can't possibly be winning souls th...
