Re: The Direct Approach, to the Lord - KJV & Prayer

Please share your intervention experience. It sounds fascinating. Prayer for me was a way to dump all my thoughts out on whatever issue was on my mind which always seems like confirmation that I was making right decisions. I’ve come to think of it now as useless and talking to myself but I’m always ...

Re: Utah in 3019

Elder Dillan Dallin Oaks III will be President of the United State Of Oaks. The 312 First Ladies, whose names are unknown for privacy reasons will be the Mothers of 96% of the population. Elder DDO3 will wage war against the former United States of America trying to push society back onto the Covena...

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebiesn

I would be interested in how you rate Sam Young? Is he the same as Wendy or Kate? Or is he a very different category because he is male? Or maybe because you understand his soap box and don’t understand Kate Kelly’s? Because I would put Kate in a very different category than Wendy who married power...

Re: Den of Sin

Ha ha ha! It’s a trap! Don’t go in there! You order a Granda Hot Carmel Machiatto, pay the cashier, get a receipt and an order number. When they call your number up you grab your cup and you're quietly escorted to a back room where you are handcuffed, stripped down to your garments, and held captive...

Re: My Journey out from the flock, Getting a Coffee Maker

I stopped drinking soda about 6 months ago which eliminated 95% of my caffeine intake.

I replaced with the free coffee from work but got tired of it. Now I do the occasional DD iced Carmel machiatto.

Drinking more water and paying attention to hydration has made me feel much better.

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

She isn't using her position to make life any better for other women in the Church. She is making it worse with her pharisaical brand of rigidly conformist Mormonism. She is an ironic figure in Mormonism - she has carved out a position for herself to wield more power than any woman that has come be...

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

Alas, I understanding what you are saying. Let’s call it the Sistoration! In some way I think Wendy is actually doing more harm to the teen/young adult membership base. I’ve heard comments from the youth who think she is crazy and can see through her bull crap as much as we can. It’s ironic that Aun...

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

I like her. But I like her because she's kind of terrifyingly fascinating. So let’s celebrate this deviation from the normal Mormon misogyny and continue to speculate how long it takes her to wrestle power away from Elder Oaks before RMN gets transferred to the spirit world in 2 years. YES^^^ :D I ...

Re: Help with outing myself?

Thanks everyone. This is helpful. My husband suggested just not saying anything also, but it’s hard to just not say anything. I have a sibling that got married, and was married for 6 months before any of us knew. My mom was the last to know. It caused a lot of stress and heartache for my mom, and I...

I know many of you have been in a mixed faith marriage far longer than I have, is there something I'm missing? In...

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

I’d also agree that she’s enthralled with her grab at Mormon fame. When was the last time anyone posted about President Benson’s wife, President Hunter’s wife, President Hinckley’s wife, or President Monson’s wife? Hell, how many people actually know their names? Now the First Ladies of Mormonism ar...

As to outing yourself I offer a different path. Why bother? Did you tell your parents when you stopped your Readers Digest subscription? Did you tell your parents when you switched to whole milk? Did you tell your parents when you bought new socks? Live your life as you want to and let them wonder w...

Sorry, I got nothin'. When I outed myself to my very TBM parents it was a complete disaster. They feel hurt and betrayed and are convinced that I pray to Lucifer, eat babies and snort cocaine.
Two out of three are true!

When are we meeting up again to eat babies and snort cocaine?

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

I’m going to suggest she’s not a gold digger. She was probably chugging along in Mormon life as a lonely single adult, questioning her whereabouts on the Covenant Path, and extremely worried about her eternal progression to the Celestial Kingdom. She lived a chase life, never had an inappropriate se...

Re: New Wendy Nelson video is giving me a serious case of the heebie jeebies

I'm not a Wendy fan at all. But I am amazed at folks' ability to read her character, desires and intentions, and interpret her life history in such detail. It rivals the ability of my ward members to read and make judgements on my character and life history based on an even closer degree of familia...

Out of ALL of the content on the planet and you chose to watch that? Maybe it’s a set up for the next “adjustment” RMN is going to unleash? Unpopular opinion here: I like Wendy! She brings a new level of weirdness the church has never seen before. What if she’s the driving force behind all the chang...

Re: Is NOM really "middle way" to any extent anymore?

NOM is a forum of thoughtful people who no longer believe in the truth claims of the mormon church, but still have the mormon church on their mind for their own reasons; in many cases those reasons are a believing spouse. I want to see the Church succeed because I think it can still be a source of ...

Re: Lively discussion for NBI: Fighting for Jesus; where do we cross the line?

Reading all of the OT/NT Jesus responses I think there’s an underlying question here I have to ask.

Is Jesus really any different than Joseph Smith?

How do we know Jesus didn’t just make everything up? Or perhaps the “Jesus idea” morphed out of biblical times?

Back to square 1: defining God.
