Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!
My thought too. This is a well known circumstance and the reasons behind it are very well understood.lostinmiddlemormonism wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 9:49 am"More are saying they are ministering than those that are being ministered to". No shit Sherlock, because your culture encourages lying.

Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!
I'm technically watching conference, but also simultaneously holding 2 separate text conversations with members whose lives are falling apart this morning and "need the bishop's advice" :roll: (Just for reference, these two individuals are ALWAYS in self-made crisis mode.) Do I still get conference ...

Re: Steven Hassan interview on MS
At one point Steve and John are discussing the time it takes to reprogram and heal. Steve thinks it can be done quickly while John says it needs to take a few years. It's also worth noting that John was in his duck for 45+ years, while Steve was only a member of his duck flock for 2.5 years. Steve ...

Re: 22 Months Down. 38 To Go.
Carolyn Pearson’s book “The Ghost of Polygamy” really put it in perspective for me. Sister Ryder ordered her book (with a quick note and signature as well) that was extremely effective at detailing the heartbreak of polygamy even in a the modern church. A true ghost that haunts every woman. Highly ...

Re: 22 Months Down. 38 To Go.
When Mrs. Græy says "polygamy doesn't bother her" does that include sharing you with multiple other women in Super VIP Heaven in the MORmON afterlife? (Inquiring minds and all...) Great question. Based on conversations I'd expect she would not be okay with polygamy being part of our future. I think...

Re: 22 Months Down. 38 To Go.
There have been some interesting developments with my wife regarding a polygamous family in our ward. :shock: No, no! Its not what you think. But it has led to some interesting conversations and an admission on her part the she no longer knows where she's at in her belief, nuance, or acceptance of ...

Re: 22 Months Down. 38 To Go.
Bishop Graey we need to discuss your inactivity at NOM. Ha! I know. I have missed this group and hope to do better in the future. You all are the best of the best! I highly recommend you and your wife listen to the At Last She Said it Podcast. It’s soft and gentle, yet hard hitting and honest expre...

Re: Youth activities
We have a small ward, on the best nights we get 12-15 YM, and 7 or 8 YW. Many nights we get half that. For the YM we hold planning meetings every 6 months and basically just ask the YM what they want to do and then try to make that happen. Our activities have included... * bowling * playing dodge ba...

Re: New Order Spirituality
I haven't yet found anything convincingly supernatural or divine post mormonism. I'm fine with the universe just being what it appears to be. There's plenty of interesting and wonderful things to explore and morality exists outside of religion. I feel this. I have told trusted friends that I'm lean...

Re: Temple attendance, temple recommend, temple, temple temple!
Next month, I get to show my true colors to family and extended family for the first time by NOT attending a sealing of niece. Very apprehensive about this and hope to survive and come out better for it. The church is setup in such a crazy way like this, either 100% in with temple recommend or OUT....

22 Months Down. 38 To Go.
Hey NOM friends! Long time no see. I hope you are all doing well! I apologize for being gone for so long, it has been a crazy 8 or 9 months. Not so much in the church thing, though that is still plodding along. We started a home renovation project which quickly turned into an 8 month nightmare which...

Re: Silly new apologetics site - Show Your Shelf
I like #212:
"Why would Joseph Smith say that Moroni waved the “rent” of his garment?"
Obviously Moroni decided not to charge people for borrowing/wearing his garments. He lent them out free of charge.

Re: NOMference Sunday Morning Fall 2022 - for Mopag
"Being in the church, praying, paying tithing, and making covenants will make life easier. Not really easier. In fact it will seem harder. But you'll have help so it's easier. You just won't be able to see, feel, or detect that help in any way and it will feel harder but really it's easier. Trust me!"

Re: NOMference Sunday Morning Fall 2022 - for Mopag
-50 for Nelson. I won't leave because the church asks too much. I'll leave because it isn't true, doesn't tell the truth, promotes other-ing, and doesn't deliver on its promises.
If it was what it claimed, I'd happily do what it asks.
