Hi Froggie, glad you found us!Froggie wrote:IMO, 8 is way too many mods. That requires correlation to correlate, which is simply not efficient. My experience in moderating suggests that three is a very good number.

Re: Gob Doesn’t Love Me and Earth is an Insignificant Ball Travelling through Cold, Dark Space
Welcome, Shawn! I think I see your problem. You need to start praying god God to rescue you from the clutched of Gob! My dear and very faithful wife does tell me how God works in subtle ways in her life. I could respond with a skeptical response about confirmation bias and cherry picking of pattern ...

Why is Satan a better communicator?
I hear all the time in church about how clever and powerful Satan is and how effectively he's getting his message out. He's making it very clear what he wants everybody to do, whether it's looking at porn, voting for same-sex marriage, reading anti-mormon literature, using elicit drugs, what have yo...

Re: What was God commanding Martin Harris NOT to reveal in this revelation?
OK, this is the section that was "revealed" when Harris, a universalist, had a meltdown when he first read about a literal hell of fire and brimstone in the BoM. He freaked out and demanded a "commandment" (revelation from Joseph). This was a problem for Joseph because he needed Harris's money to pu...

Was this before the loss of the hundred sixteen pages? If so I would suspect that what it's talking about.

Re: Politics Post - Evan McMullin
I think it would be awesome if, when they show the big, post-election map, every state has voted for either Donald or Hillary - except Utah. The whole world will be wondering what the hell is going on here.

Re: What kind of list am I on?
Don't get me wrong, I'm overjoyed to be on the list. If they kept harassing me to do the stuff I can no longer do I would just disengage completely. I'm hoping some wise leader, probably the SP I mentioned earlier, believes me when I say I'm only there to support my wife and they don't want to lose ...

Re: Book of Mormon describes Church of the Devil as Current COB
I have also noticed a striking similarity with the Zoramites, at least when the get up on the rameumptum and thank God for making them superior to everyone else: "thanking their God that they were chosen of him, and that he did not lead them away after the tradition of their brethren."

Re: Apostate Quotes for Faithful Talks
he "Fight Club" quote did lead the bishopric to ask me to work with some of the more challenging youth in the ward. The figured that anyone with a strong enough testimony(!) to quote from Fight Club was obviously a good fit to fellowship the youth flirting with apostasy. So, are you considering sta...

Re: What kind of list am I on?
It must be really confusing to have a member who doesn't believe, yet doesn't seem to be struggling in any way, who attends SM meetings regularly but won't go to HPG, who won't accept a calling but is happy to scrub the toilets, and (thanks to a very understanding former BP/now SP) is still a recomm...

Re: Mrs. Hagoth is reading RSR
That's great, Hagoth. I hope she comes away with more appreciation of your position. My wife read it right after I confessed I no longer believe (which happened not long after I read RSR). She said it reaffirmed her faith, and she has never waivered a single bit since then. Sigh. Good for her for a...

If you consider the topography of Holland it sorta becomes metaphorical by default.

What kind of list am I on?
HIPS's excellent thread about NOMing up his prayer got me thinking about this. After I turned down a couple of prayer assignments, a PEC invitation and a couple of callings they stopped bugging me, even though there has been a complete leadership turnover since then. I did get a stake calling extend...

Re: Asked to pray in church
That's an opportunity well used, HIPS. After my disaffection I really started dreading public prayer. Finally I declined to accept the offer and I have never been asked since. It almost makes me feel like my bishop really is inspired.

Re: Different First Visions Accounts Shouldn't Challenge Your Faith - Whatever
When I hear the older dudes in HPG telling amazing, miraculous stories from their mission 50 years ago, in extreme detail, right down to word-for-word dialog, I always wonder what REALLY happened. Same with the official FV story. I think we need look no further than the before and after appearance o...

Re: What I wish I would have done differently
I wish I had realized sooner that the problem was not with me - that it wasn't my fault the church seemed so messed up to me. I blamed myself for not being adequately faithful or worthy when I was losing my testimony. I was disappointed with myself that I couldn't be a stronger example of a faithful...

I'm glad to see the Introductions forum is back. Since we don't have our old introductions anymore it would be nice to have people write a brief recap of their story.
