Re: The Cost of a Janitor

We know that the members do the regular cleaning of the church, but he church does have deep cleaners come in and do additional cleaning and maintenance that the members don’t do. You would never guess who in my area owns the company that deep cleans many church buildings…..three guesses…. If you gu...

Re: NOM for Thee, NOM for He, or NOM for me?

I think NOM represents the values of love, mutual respect, kindness, understanding and forgiveness… unlike some other social media sites. Most of us have transitioned through or are in the process of transitioning through Mormonism, but it is hard to fully leave the tribe that we have been apart of ...

Re: The Cost of a Janitor

Using a real janitor would give back so much time to the 10 families that clean toilets every few weeks

Re: So, why did Jesus have to die?

I also believe this is a manufactured event. Over time, people started making stuff up…Christ’s death was upgraded to also a resurrection…then time goes on and the atonement was added….this process continued as Joseph Smith invented some special Mormon theology using the rock and a hat trick…RMN and...

Re: Decline of Mormonism in USA

Thanks Jeffret! I don't know if you've heard Mormon Stories interview with the sitting bishop in Mexico (I think there's a new one after he finally left). The census there requires people to declare a religion. I can't remember the actual statistics, but the number of Mexican people who self-identi...

Re: Podcastinterview of one of my best friends

I listened to this podcast and thought it was great. You have a good friend. One thing that stood out to me was his discussion about temple work. Why are we going through such lengths to identify relatives and perform the temple ordinances for them when in the millennium everyone will ride from the ...

Re: So many Holes in the gospel, so few explanations.

Critically analyzing the gospel (yeah I know we're not suppose to do that!) has a price. It doesn't add up! The ultimate goal is to be like God and get a planet and raise a crop of other potential Gods. Well, at least the that used be the goal. :roll: If so, why are so many literally unable to fulf...

Re: Bible banned from schools in Davis County, Utah

Personally, I think that banning books is a childish, selfish ego driven act. Hell, if you don't want to read the Bible, don't read it. Who gives a s**t? No one. If you do, it's not going to make you an ax murderer. I'd bet that of the people wanting to ban the Bible, that there's not more than 5% ...

JFro's Mormon stories podcasts are excellent. I enjoy the "Just the facts, Ma'am" approach. Thanks a million, dude. :D
I agree. These factual episodes are great.

Re: So Many podcasts, so little time.

I have enjoyed many podcasts. I don’t listen to many of them if they are too long. My favorite ones at the moment 1) Mormonism live 2) Radio Free Mormon 3) Rameumptom Ruminations (usually only 20-30 minutes) https://rameumptomruminations.org/ 4) Mormon Expression with John Larsen (I find them in the...

Bible banned from schools in Davis County, Utah

There has been a lot of hate lately in society, especially around books. People have been uptight about having any books in their school library that has “pornography” , LGBTQ stuff, etc. A complaint about these types of books led to a new policy in Utah banning anything as Pornographic or indecent....

Temple Prayer Roll

Can someone explain to me how the names placed on a piece of paper (maybe even electronically today) can receive special blessings via a prayer? If the names on a prayer roll works for prayers, why not just perform temple ordinance for all dead people in one big single ceremony? For example, “I bapt...

Good to hear from you Mel. It seems like you were living in Netherlands. Do the stakes or wards in Europe cross into different countries? For example, does a stake in Belgium have wards in The Netherlands or Germany?
