So part of my social awkwardness is due to the church.

Surely the second head and third arm had something to do with it!

The visit was different than those in the past, and it would be our final one. You see, she had taken herself off of dialysis earlier that week and her body was shutting down. Eighteen years on it was enough. So to me, her answers were fascinating as she stared at her own mortality and accepted wha...

Here's a fun excerpt from a BBC documentary called Conspiracy Road Trip: Creationism, in which as group of Fundamentalist Christians and Muslims are bussed around the US to look for evidence for and against evolution. This awesome clip is when they sit down with paleoanthropologist Tim White at Berk...

TLDR: My question is, what will the next guy do? So, 15 new temples announced today and the announcements just keep coming. People on the temple committee have admitted that Nelson is blindsiding them with temple announcements in places where no investigation has even begun. TBMs are oh so impressed...

People had dreams that made them feel like they had been transported to another world. They often saw their dead loved ones there. They ate plants that made them see fantastic otherworldly vistas and entities. Religion helped flesh out the idea that there really is and invisible world, and helped to...

I used to be fed tripe in menudo and it often tasted and smelled like you might think.

Once when tracting on my mission we went into a home that smelled like an open sewer. I asked, "is everything ok? Do you have a broken pipe?" They answered, "No. we're cooking menudo!"

I looked into my seer stone last night and am making the following prediction: They will double down on garment wearing this weekend at general conference and they will have a woman do it because they want a woman (who is willing to say what the men wan them to say) to try and get the women of the ...

Just dropped in to see what's up in NOM. I had totally forgotten conference was happening today. One big point for me! I will go away for a while now, thank you very much.

Questions to ask: -Where in scripture does it tell you how to wear your underwear? Where are garments even mentioned? -Did Joseph Smith receive a direct revelation that tells us how to wear garments? -Has any prophet declared that the voice of God told him that garments must be worn 24/7? -Has the ...

I can specifically recall following the guidance of the church and asking Godde for direction and personal revelation when I was questioning wearing the garment as instructed. As I prayed, I received a prompting to turn on the TV. No sooner had I done that, the answer to my prayers came in the form...

Had I known what I knew now I would have dropped out of Primary. BUT since I didn't have the benefits of time travel or perfect foresight, I would not change my life. Much of it has been very bumpy, but it is the journey that has made me who I am. My experiences in Mormonism and working my way out o...

Let everyone have existed everywhere experiencing everything - reincarnation, we all experience being poor, being rich, living in each life - equal opportunities, equal existence and experience - it is the only fair and just scenario, for all of us to live through everything then become all-knowing...

It's been a bit since I've been around...

Great to see you back in the neighborhood, Jfro!

How bout I just draw some Magick MORmON Masonic Polygamy symbols on myself every once in a while with a Sharpie™? LD$-Inc. could even start selling Consecrated Sharpie's. I'm not sure if it's fully church approved, but I saw an online source selling garment symbol iron-ons, I believe for military p...

The church does this to themselves over and over again. It's a pattern. Example: they don't like the negative press about the treatment of LGBTQ kids at BYU so they take the discriminatory language out of the honor code and tell the world the LGBTQ kids will treated like everyone else to prove they ...

Well, you really got me because I'm seeing it for the first time on April 3rd. Good one.

Poignant, lovely song from David Archuleta about the moment he told his mom he was stepping away from the Church.

Thanks for sharing that HappierNow. It made me cry.

I only wish for two things: 1- A so-called-prophet-seer-and-revelator telling wives that their husbands are no less worthy of love and respect because they don't go around waving imaginary Harry Potter wands. 2- A so-called-prophet-seer-and-revelator spontaneously revealing that he has come to a rea...

Self-righteous, elitist, arrogant, territorialist certainty that actually fears truth.......that's the fungus that kills honest spirituality. Not honest doubt. I love it. I always say, certainty is what makes people put on a dynamite vest and walk into a crowded bus station. Like the fungus that en...
