Re: Three Months Down. 57 To Go.
I missed month two and I'm about a week early on this one, but it is what it is. :) Graey, your report is amazing. The Bishop's handbook should get a new addendum from your experiences. This feels more refreshing and realistic than most of the instructions from the institutional church. Too much of...

Re: I Learned How to Judge as a Mormon
Joseph Smith had to mess with the scripture where Jesus said not to judge, so it is doctrinal to judge "righteously" Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matt. 7:1) is changed to “Judge not unrighteously, that ye be not judged: but judge righteous judgment” (JST, Matt. 7:2). I remember one of the time...

Re: The fall of Communism/Mormonism
One thing companies with a large war chest do is to look to grow by acquiring other companies. I had never considered that happening in a religious context but that is what appears to be happening with Scientology and the Nation of Islam. Which is incredibly bizarre considering how Nation of Islam w...

Re: An April Fools' Reminder: Mormon Youth Sex Interviews Are Foolish
I was naive about so many things church-related until I began to hear others' experiences years after my LDS mission. I never had a church leader bring up sexual behavior in an interview- I always had to bring it up with them. They always seemed like they'd rather not deal with it. When I brought i...

Re: Did Netasha Helfer-Parker get Exed?
Edit to add: Given what Hawkins has said here, that he had a prepared statement, I'm starting to think this is not just a stupid local leader being stupid. Once again, the church is drawing lines that they don't need to draw. And it will end as badly as the 2015 policy of exclusion debacle, especia...

Anybody have a punching bag with Rusty N face on it? Can I borrow it? I don't have a punching bag, but I do have a spare copy of The Miracle of Forgiveness. My other copy is doing duty as a backstop for indoor pellet gun shooting. I would be happy to send the other to whomever might get similar the...

Re: Doubters are lazy learners!!!!!
I believe "lazy learner" is a phrase for an artificial intelligence algorithm. If I understand it correctly, the algorithm requires experience trials to develop. Modification of the learner is through experience only. In a eager learner algorithm, there are programmed assumptions. So the lazy learn...

Re: Forced Turning Point
So it sounds to me like your deciding factors had to do with your immediate family relationships and some hoped for positives there. Those are the best reasons I can think of so I hope that works out for you. If those things become negatively impacted don't hesitate to go for the extra bedroom. I do...

An okay positive message mixed with magical beings and religious jargon. No points.

Re: NOMference Sunday afternoon SP 2021
Oaks Condemned mob interference in constitutional processes. Emphasize rule of law and PEACEFUL civic processes. Reemphasized political neutrality, and no political test for faithful members. Endorsed separation of powers and no individual rule. I dislike DHO for many different reasons, but this was...
