Primary Program 2023
The kids in my ward had their moment in the spotlight on Sunday. Some kids read, some memorized, others struggled through, and one got so nervous he had to sit down without saying a word. They seemed to enjoy it over all. The adults lost their minds over it though. It frustrates me how these grown w...

Re: TIL: Nauvoo Expositor Is Part of 7th Grade Utah History
JS was a pedophile, is this what was published? The wicked take the truth to be hard... I love that Star wars had good guys that looked like an ugly squid, and bad guys who appeared as kind friendly leaders. Great for kids to learn there are wolves in sheep's clothing, that some church leaders are ...

Re: TIL: Nauvoo Expositor Is Part of 7th Grade Utah History
Seems to be an interesting nugget of history as it pertains to Mormons, who settled Utah more or less. It's the thing that landed JS in jail at Carthage together with his brother Hyrum, which I've never sorted out in my mind why Hyrum was there...anyway, it is what lead to Joseph and Hyrum Smith's ...

TIL: Nauvoo Expositor Is Part of 7th Grade Utah History
My 7th grader learned about the Nauvoo Expositor in his Utah History class at school. I don't remember learning about that in my Utah History class, but maybe I forgot. I guess it's an important part of the mormon pioneers leaving Nauvoo for Utah, but it caught me off guard. Our conversation started...
Re: Them
I always have warm thoughts regarding the kindness and service orientation of Mormons. As individuals they are A-okay. I struggle to overlook the ulterior motive behind the kindness. They may deny it, even to themselves, but it's so core to being mormon that it would be a miracle if it weren't ther...
Re: Them
I don't remember whether it was on NOM or elsewhere that someone recently said that we as humans have a desire for community but in recent years many have had to settle for merely being part of an audience instead of a true community. While I don't think I ever totally fit in with Mormons even at m...
Them
As a believer my ingroup was Mormons, and my outgroup was "the world". There was a grey area for bad-acting mormons and good-acting not mormons. A big part of my faith transition was realizing that my values didn't align with my ingroup, I started seeing "them" among "us". I still haven't discovered...

Re: "Mormon is a victory for Satan" - good idea or bad?
If the top brass are able to keep the push to use the full name of the church up then it may help muddy the waters in the long term. Similar to Philip Morris rebranding to Altria in 2003. Everyone knows what Philip Morris is, but I’d guess few people connect it with Altria. Especially with the churc...

Re: Welcome to the Tuesday Podcast Club!
They had to take down Adam's interview. Mormon Stories was served a restraining order. https://www.youtube.com/live/ogKZ4tMWZwU?si=DoEUkfakZ_ETCtCq I wonder if it had to do with his settlement with the Scouts. Adam mentioned that the settlement amount was sealed, and later gave an order of magnitud...

Re: Garments always hanging out and it drives me nuts
Garments are awful. Uncomfortable, difficult, ugly, conspicuous, conforming clothes that constantly remind of the divide between me and my spouse. 0/10, do not recommend. I saw my TBM parents relationship with their garments, then watched all my brothers and sisters adopt them, so I knew it was comi...

Anyone listen to the Adam Steed Mormon stories episode 1809? He was one of the kids abused in scouting and later had his live destroyed by Jodi Hildibrandt. Elder Hillam helped to cover up the abuse. Jodi became a counselor on the LDS family services approved counselor list. Anyone who doesn’t thin...

Re: Please Sir, I Want Some More... Church
When I was a kid some of the girls in my class started asking me to come back to church, saying they missed me and all. But when I went back, come to figure out, the teacher put them up to missionary work, to reactivate me. They did not care if I was there or not, but they wanted the brownie points...

Re: Please Sir, I Want Some More... Church
If you want to blow some minds, come up with a non-church activity on a Sunday, invite "church friend" and tell him "it would be good" if he attended with your son. Oh, that's a great idea! My first response to hearing that this friend was pressuring my son to go to church was frustration with the ...
