NOM

Things to think about. Could they be trying to stay connected to your DH's children, even though he gave up parental rights? Might they have liked each other when the first marriage was good and think that enough time has passed that all bitterness from the divorce is healed and that it is alright t...

Once when I was in the YW program the Beehive leader said that the incoming Beehive girls are so innocent and so pure, and she wished more than anything that she could keep them that innocent and pure. And I think to myself, "Yeah, wasn't that Satan's plan?" According to the plan of salvation, we ha...

OMG you know how they do holograms of dead celebrities at concerts? Well, we should do a Packer hologram denouncing us! And the TBMs would think he is really trying to reach out to them from the spirit world to warn them about the so-called New Order Mormons. I can almost hear Ron Weasly saying,"Th...

I think those of us who participate on other websites can spread the word just by mentioning how NOM helped us. I just put an advertisement up on Feminist Mormon Housewives.

I don't think it is easier to be male or female and disaffected, just slightly different. Men seem much more tolerant of the slight heretic, while women will socially shun another woman who shows the slightest sign of unorthodox thinking or unorthoprax behavior. For example, men can ditch the unifor...

I don't know your dad, but most people near death would not be comforted by knowing family agrees with them about religion, near as much as they would be just knowing that they are loved and will be missed and that they did the best they were capable of in this life. My father at that point just wan...

Good to hear from you. It is different living as a nonbeliever in Utah. I stayed active as an unbeliever, until we got stationed at Hill AFB in Utah. Then attending church just made me crazy. We moved out of Utah and I was active again....until we moved back. Utah Mormons are really a different anim...

It isn't the amount of caffein, but the taste. Yuck! Bitter and burned. And I do drink tea, but normally I drink that weak too because it tastes bitter. I like chai tea and green tea best. But they even have some of the bitter taste. I never would have described green tea (admittedly I've only done...

News of local happenings? Seeing as I live just up the road from Bundyville, I could report that the Bundys were acquitted. But everybody knows that. Or since I also live a block away from where the pligs shop (Walmart) I could report that courts have decided that welfare fraud is a religious libert...

Because both you and Mrs Kori are unsure about staying active, I really would just let the dust settle for a while and not do any follow up. You have friends still in the church, and the more dust you stir up, the less likely they will be comfortable with staying friends. Being a quiet disbeliever i...

Thanks for the kind words, I hope I didn't come across too needy! I was around long enough to recall many names who have come and gone from NOM with nary a mention. I just had a eureka moment where I realized if I NOM died, no one would notice. ;) Which is no indictment of this place or anyone here...

[quote="Red Ryder" SG, write something up you would like to see added. We can then run it through the correlation committee and meet with the apostles in Thursday. Elder Gong said he had a short presentation so we can piggy back off his open time. Assuming Elder Oaks doesn't bring up the homosexual...

Oh, and yes, I started to drink coffee trying to get a less chemical form of caffein than Diet Coke as a way to control ADD. But to make it less gaggy, I had to add cream and sweetener. What is the point of coffee if I still have to add artificial sweetener? I am in the group of, yes I like a littl...

Let's mix it up a bit. Let's say one of the people is a Muslim, and the mom comes over and says she wants to put a team BBQ together and have some pulled pork sandwiches. How would you expect the Muslim person to react? Wouldn't it seem perfectly reasonable for the Muslim person to point out that h...

I only have my iPad and the pictures on it, so for now this is the only real flesh and blood picture I can access. I will look for a warm blooded picture of me and return and report if I find something.

Interesting thoughts on community and how we must be cats and cats don't run in herds. One solution, I suppose is to accept being a cat. Now, for extreme introverts that may work. I almost qualify, Hermit the frog. I am in kind of a situation right now where I am feeling a need for some kind of soci...

I wonder if BYU just put up a curtain to separate title 9 and the honor code office. You win. Literally laughing out loud at this. Seriously, though, hopefully more victims will feel like they can get help now. This is good news, even though BYU would have never done this without Madi Barney''s ext...

Anya is someone I can contact. Last I texted her, she had seen NOM was down, but in the past was worried her X had figured out her identity, so she may come back but stay anonymous. I will let her know where to find us. Atolia is here, under a new name. She told her story, if you recognize it. She w...

I have had the kind of dream where I am looking for the way out of the church building, but the halls go n and on. I turn a corner, and more halls with classrooms, and bishop's offices, and nobody will talk to me, and I just keep searching for the way out. And I don't know where my husband is. Is he...
