NOM

One of my favorite books.

I learned to say that something was meaningful to me when it really was just boring, and to think that there was something wrong with me because I didn't find value in God's greatest gift to mankind.

If I didn't know better, I'd think that this organization was led with a bunch of guys, all with different opinions on how things should be run, instead of being run by God himself.

It seems to me that the church has some lame excuses for why Joseph had to lie about polygamy but I've never read anything documented from him as to why he had to lie. As far as I can tell, the church never admits that he lied. The church makes the argument that the denials were carefully worded an...

Oh, I didn't write this for Mormons. I wrote it for myself, and then I thought you guys might enjoy it. I don't plan on sharing it on Facebook or anything. I did put basically the same text in my Goodreads review of the book, but I edited out the cussin'. I do have Mormon Goodreads friends so I thou...

I just read and reviewed Saints: The Standard of Truth so that you don't have to.

You're welcome.

Hey Doug, good to see you here.

I live on the Eastern side of the Sierras in Southern California and love to hike the Sierras. Let me know if you are going to be somewhere in the Eastern side of the Sierras hiking and want someone to join you. I'm up for fairly rigorous hikes. I'd also be willing to travel to nearby states if, say...

She did watch an r-rated movie recently. Holy Ghost was probably grieved. Now Satan has taken her over.

I know my wife is very different from most TBMs but joking about resignation surprised me.

My wife is out of town hanging out with a daughter today at the zoo. I just had a really interesting text message exchange with her. As background, she is very anti-Trump. Me: Trump finally found a music group willing to play at his inauguration. Guess who... Her: One direction, Miley Cyrus, The Wig...

Well, sorry for keeping everyone waiting for the report. It wasn't a tense conversation at all. We spoke for about an hour and a half. I felt understood and like I got to genuinely connect with someone. He stated a few times that he was not trying to get me to come back to church. We did not start o...

I added Tyler Glenn's new song "Devil" to my Amazon playlist. 10 year old daughter found it and it is her new favorite song. Not sure what the wife thinks of the chorus "I found myself when I lost my faith" blasting through the house and all four kids dancing away.

OK so God hates gay sex yet he consciously decides to create people who are exclusively attracted to their own sex. Then he tells them to just skip the whole love thing for their whole life and live alone but be thankful for your trials!

God sounds like kind of a jerk.

I won the ward chili cookoff. My secret ingredient was burgundy. Worst yet, when I expressed concern that it might be unethical to feed burgundy sauce to Mormons without disclosing it (even if I simmered it for six hours) my TBM wife *forced* me to do it anyway.

Well, if you end up on the Eastern side of the Sierras, stop by Ridgecrest, CA.

I think that the leaked videos will mostly go unnoticed except I think that one of the Senator fawning at the brethren's feet may make it more difficult for Mormon politicians in the future, especially for those with presidential aspirations.

Well, I get the feeling that his "faith crisis" is something he considers to be in the past. I'm expecting, from what short conversations I have had so far, that he is somewhat like Bill Reel in his outlook on the church. Probably the point I plan on touching on for sure is that I don't see how fait...

I have a Hotmail account and never got a validation email. I checked the spam folder and there is nothing there.

I design vacuum tube amplifiers.

I just like NASA's solar photography.
