Re: Is it time to update the “bubble of threats” chart?
True - the church has always reminded me a little bit of high school, where there was an "in crowd" of popular kids, but a much larger "out crowd" of people who knew that they would just never fit in or be able to conform to the rigid standards of wearing fashionable, expensive clothing, driving an ...

Re: You are not welcome
Excluding loved ones and friends from ceremonies that mark a major passage in life is one of the cruelest actions the church can take. And it is deliberate. It's intentional. Hopefully, later on in life, your brother will realize that. I agree w/ Fluff. Turn it back on them, and make them own it. It...

Re: Return and Report: Magic Mushrooms in the Desert
Wow, what an fascinating weekend. Thanks for telling us about your experience. Any time that psychedelics is involved, there's going to be a crowd that are part party people, part spiritual seekers, and part both of those. Agreed, sounds a lot like Burning Man. The spiritual revelations especially s...

Re: Spiritual experience at Longhorn Steakhouse
Thank you for sharing the spirit !! Your testimony has prompted me to make plans to go to the steakhouse with Mr. Wonderment tomorrow night.

Re: Trigger Warning: Surviving Sexual Assault
Talk to your parents or another trusted adult, and seek your bishop’s counsel immediately. WTH? They need to quickly talk to an ecclesiastical leader who has no training, and who historically represents a sexually oppressive church that espouses dangerous practices? Two implicit messages are immedi...

Welcome to NOM ! We're glad to have you here.

You took a very important step in claiming your space. :) Hang in there, and plea...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?
My husband and I are now fully vaccinated, each with two doses of Moderna vaccine. Only side effects were a slightly sore arm for about 12 hrs and a little fatigue. We were fine within 24 hours -- and we're senior citizens. We're in California, which has now administered 20 million doses of vaccine ...

Re: Forced Turning Point
In my life, I have accepted some leadership positions in organizations to which I had some objections, because I tried to convince myself that I could change the organization from the inside. This is fine, if the organization is looking for change and looking for leaders to help it do so. But, that ...

Re: Another Lawsuit
I hope that one of these lawsuits will stick and that hundreds of them will follow. If the church is found to have engaged in fraudulent deception to collect tithing, then I hope that Huntsman's lawsuit to have his tithing returned will be followed up by hundreds of other lawsuits. This cannot happe...
