NOM

I found him rather annoying on his rant. It seems like he is defending Tim Ballard without knowing the whole picture. I think he has been manipulated

It appears in an amended lawsuit against Tim Ballard from Operation Underground Railroad (OUR): "The Davis County Investigation, according to OUR’s own internal documents, revealed that Elder M. Russell Ballard and other authorities from the Mormon Church, provided Mormon tithing records to OUR to h...

My understanding is that service missionaries also report to the mission presidents in the areas they serve. More missions means fewer missionaries per mission president to oversee.

Wow. Tactics right out of the Joseph Smith playbook.

Did I read that this was because Lot’s son did drag shows on the weekends? Oh, wait, that was Brigham Young’s son. I wonder what this story was trying to convey back in the day. I do not believe most of the Bible stories to be true. Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark, there were all fables passed down a...

I haven’t read many of the replies to this topic, but I find the statement that Porn is the new drug to be repulsive. I think is is a manufactured “drug”. There are multiple bad things about porn, don’t get me wrong. I believe pornography is an industry. It sometimes takes advantage of people, parti...

Tithing != being right before the Lord

I agree. Straight from the mouth of a bishop.

If I’m not mistaken, the Norwegian saints get free university in their country. Why pay to come to BYU?

Pet peeve: I really dislike the look of men wearing the Gs tops that have the full neck and then wear a t-shirt and the garments stick up about a half inch above the t-shirt.

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...

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 ...

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

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...

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...

I know my love for my wife and family is true.

I love my Utah Scone with shaved carrots and parsnips on top.

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 ...

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...

This is hilarious

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% ...
