Please tell me what Trump has said that's so bad I shouldn't vote for him. That's between you and your conscience, my friend. You know as well as I do what he says and does. Most of it makes it impossible for me to vote for him, but I get it that some of you folks eat that sh!t up and I'm certainly...

So silly if you look at it from even 3 feet away with one eye closed. Any institution that puts a dollar ransom on salvific ordinances is obviously a fraud. No matter how much good you do in your life, and no matter how sincerely you seek truth, in the end it all comes down to a final judgement that...

The biggest problem with a Christian America of the kind Mike Johnson dreams about is that it would eventually lead to the doom of most Christian religious freedoms. You would end up with a political governing body that would decide what constitutes "Christian" and what does not. They would claim it...

Do you realize the crap you're allowing the mainstream media convince you of is being done the exact same way the brethren of the church spoon fed you information as a Mormon? Look at what you write about Trump! Can you not see that the MainStream media has turned Trump into a Satan figure for you ...

Biden just said the president of Mexico should open the border with Gaza. In the meantime, the justice department said Biden was too senile to be responsible. Yeah, he's definitely on the downhill slope. Here's a fun exercise for you. Listen to one of Trump's recent rallies then go back and listen ...

So, in the best case scenario, some get the witness, and the others just have to trust them.

Exactly like every other religion. Might as well start paying tithing to some of them too, just in case.

They are presented in a "Take it or leave it fashion." I suppose this is OK, but something about it just doesn't quite feel right. :( It's OK unless it's all just made up. If it really did come from a real and loving personal God, I would expect that there would be a foolproof way of knowing. And I...

Hilarious. Probably some books about critical thinking in there too.

A few years back there was some chatter about maybe opening up coffee as an acceptable Mormon beverage but that was shot down hard taking green tea with it. I knew some folks who felt they had to repent after that. Green tea is probably the healthiest thing you could possibly put in your body. Too ...

Maybe they should also frame the Code of Hammurabi and the laws of the other ancient pagan theocracies the Ten Commandments were plagiarized from.

I apologize for getting tangentially political here. Somehow I thought I was in the Coffee Shop. I will gladly delete anything I said here if asked to.

This is true about the site. If it is a site for a single ideology, the targets of the inevitable name-calling will either not participate (as proven so far) or react to the name-calling then get shushed then get banned. For what it is worth - that is not unique to NOM. That is true for every conve...

Yeah! That made me wonder if some people know how to slip non-facts into Wikipedia. :shock: She is depicted as being like the Three Nephites, she still hangs around earth, was sighted a few times up through the 1980's. Oh boy. I would love to hang out with her! Is there a protocol for summoning her...

Sounds interesting. It was. It sold out the huge ballroom at the SLC Grand America. By the raise of hands it was about 75-80% ex/post/inactive Mormon and about 5-10% active Mormon. Last week I had lunch with a guy who is an active believing Mormon who had reached the end of his rope with treatment ...

Getting in touch with RFM, Bill, or John Dehlin will only make things worse on the site. They do everything they can to bring down the church, and they do it in a bad way. If you want to appeal to the DEI, men can become women, and let's worship wokeness crowd, then you should definitely cater to t...

Paul Stamets, who you might know from the Fantastic Fungi documentary, will be the keynote speaker at the Psychedelics in the Beehive conference this Friday at the Grand America Hotel. Paul is a mycologist and one of the biggest names in psychedelics. If you're interested in psychedelics and their f...

Once again, this cannot be looked at through a black-and-white camera. Here's my observation from personal experience with LGBTQ friends who grew up in Mormon families. The majority are either disowned or submitted to either a constant stream of harassment, accusation, guilting, and denial, or an en...
