Re: Harmony Pennsylvania and Joseph's Seer Ability

This stuff drives me absolutely crazy. It's like a reasonable thinking person has to accept XYZ happened so that PDQ could be true in all instances where ABC was greater than 123. Then, LMNOP is true because Joseph Smith said so and he was super uneducated and couldn't possibly be making anything up...

Re: Feeling anxious about new YM/YW announcement

I realized I didn't respond to unsure23! Welcome to NOM. The FAQ's mention this: However, being ordained to a priesthood office for young men and obtaining a limited-use temple recommend for young women and young men continue to be based on worthiness, readiness, and personal circumstances. You and ...

Re: Feeling anxious about new YM/YW announcement

This clearly has to correlate with the shear number of youth masturbating at earlier ages than in the past. Got to get them in for interviews! Only in Mormonism can you remove 1 hour of bore and create a whirlwind of change and more to do! 2 Hour church = 29 more things to do + 35 changes to policy!!

What is Nelson doing? Think of the 13 year olds affected by this Mormon Bomb!
Likewise, Mia Maids and teachers may attend dances and youth conferences before their 14th birthdays.

Re: I'm about to be officially "outed": NOM Crowd-Sourcing

The worst part is TBM people actually pity us for not having a temple recommend! Well it's actually a pretty good gig minus the missing WTF's Kid Wedding part. I actually enjoy not having to be subjected to a repetitive bad movie and cos play! Not having to do a TR interview is pretty damn nice as w...

Re: Former Bishop Accused of Sex Crimes with Boys

But, hey, the whole leadership one-on-one worthiness interviews are no big deal, right? Nothing bad comes from establishing that kind of expectation, right?!

Re: Former Bishop Accused of Sex Crimes with Boys

Another boy told police that Head would discuss sex "all the time," according to the charges. One night, after a church activity in August of 2017, Head drove the boy home. But when he got to the boy's driveway, he "locked the vehicle doors and stated, 'We have to figure this masturbation thing out...

Re: MTC closures

I guess I see this type of thing as normal operations for a large organization. I've indirectly facilitated the closing of multiple operations locations through cost analysis and looking at returns on investment. It's a necessary thing to do to maintain profitability and manage a business. I recogni...

My soon to be adult son just revealed to DW that he doesn't want to talk to me about anything real deep anymore because I have "strange views" about the church. :cry: There's Schwarzenegger level irony going on here. Church doctrine is an inch deep and a mile wide. Talking about anything deep means...

Re: Advice to help a friend

Is it "you don't give me enough sex, so I found it elsewhere" type of blame?

That's ridiculous he blames her for his infidelity.

Re: Coffee 101

Carmel Machiatto is my Starbucks drug of choice. Love it hot or cold.

As for office coffee, I pick the French vanilla medium roast, with 2 sugars, and 2 Irish Cream.

Not sure if that's mixing international races or not.
