NOM

McMullin's Utah electors would just throw their votes to Trump in the Electoral College roll call if it looked close after Texas cast its votes for Trump.

Is there any word on getting data from the old site back? I'm a software guy with database and web skillz and will volunteer time to do a data conversion or whatever might be necessary. PM me if my help is needed. Thanks for getting the board back up! Thanks for the offer to help, lightbulb. We're ...

"... a general obsession in the Church with control, and the effect of that control seems to be nothing so much as the ghettoization of Mormon intellectual and social life." -- Professor Karl Sandberg The Salt Lake Tribune has an excellent article on the history of the "Honor Code" at BYU. Many tha...

Knock it off you two. There will be none of that
under the watchful eye of Captain Moroni!

It's like there should be some sort of meme attached to a picture of a tapir, koala, panda and penguin all standing around the office cooler talking about the World Series or else playing poker.

Could NOM 2.0 be listed at the Mormon Archipelago, Wheat & Tares, and Mormon Matters? BTW, in the subtitle, I think you might attract a larger audience if you changed the term faith transition to faith reevaluation . I know as a member, that would be less off-putting to me. I intend for my next tran...

Sounds like a good group.

You can tell that Hagoth has a head on his shoulders. Otherwise, he would be the Headless Tapirman.

Sorry, too close to Halloween to resist.

Welcome back, Notchet and thanks for being an oldie but goodie.

Welcome to the board WdSkate.

I think for Pres. Uchtdorf's analogy to be viable I would have to be able to make a phone call to him from a rock that I found in a well. Make sure you get the exact digital stone number from directory assistance first. It is one thing to call the Church offices, but you need to also know the miner...

This quote slipped my mind earlier, but everyone is to have a seer stone: In 1841, Joseph showed his other, whitish stone to the Council of the Twelve in Nauvoo and told them, Brigham Young reported, “that every man who lived on the earth was entitled to a seer stone and should have one, but they a...

I hope this does not simply mean that traditional Honor Code practices will be conducted in an even more clandestine manner. The time-honored black hood and robes seemed anonymity enough. Adding those black hockey masks will ultimately prove uncomfortable and take some of the enjoyment out of their ...

You can just look at Evan McMullin and tell he is the White Horse (sorry Rafalca) who will save the Constitution, which became caught on a thread from the flak jacket of a Trump supporter who refused to acknowledge the decision of the voters in the General Election, and instead chose to take it to t...

It's like when you take this face and with a pen and eraser change it into this face

Putting a smile on it was very clever PR move. If it helps ease the pain and suffering of gay youth and their families in LDS society, then it was a good idea.

Similar things are mentioned in the Bible. I think in both the Book of Milton and the Book of Bradley, mention is made of a Magic 8-ball, which was a technically more advanced version of the Urim and Thummin Yes/No Breastplate. I understand that many years later this same brass breastplate was melt...

This reminds me of a line from a movie, "What will the Gefilte fish say?" The correct response was, "Who cares what the Gefilte fish say. We're going to eat them already." When the time comes, chances are your family will be functional enough to support your decision and any ravening crowd can be de...

We are all in charge of writing our own narrative. Perhaps you could add this to yours: "Jinx decided that dwelling on regrets ultimately took too much energy and only tended to be self-perpetuating. Jinx decided to call a halt to those regrets and chose the realization that life goes on and that wh...

This seemed like a good rendition of the Leonard Cohen song by some fantastic singers known as Pentatonix:

One other song if you like that kind of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9LJDwZOprY

It was expressed to me to quit asking to have Zadok reinstated. I think the mods were taking a cue from a soda pop bottle falling out of a giant flying bird that made a humming noise. Glad they did not apply that cue to penguins. I think it would be nice for not all mods to think alike. That way the...
