Re: Search Engine Optimization

I usually get an ad for chatting with the missionaries as the top result then NOM. I think they’ve increased their search budget recently. Everyone needs to search “Is Lori Vallow Mormon? to connect the dooms say cult to Mormonism. I’m still annoyed the church hasn’t been connected in the main stre...

Must have been a fluke. I just googled New Order Mormon and LDS Inc did not have any hits on the first or second page.
NOM was first, and then a bunch of posts about what a NOM is.
Thats what I usually get. Now I am seeing their page *sometimes* but when I do, its first.

Search Engine Optimization

FYI: comeuntochrist.org hits first when I search New Order Mormon.

NOM used to be first.

Re: Sexism of exmormon men

I normally love Lindsay. I felt this post danced around the issue, to try not to trigger the fragile men while trying to get them to see, a bit, their privilege and how they think by leaving they are woke while they go on to harm and silence women. And she didn't go far enough to make it clear. Alas...

Re: LDS Church proposes new community near future Tooele Valley Temple

The Temple was being built in Erda to boost housing development sales. Once the housing development was off the table, there was no sense building the Temple in a pasture. Build it in Tooele and they will come. Afterward Temple goers can nourish and strengthen their bodies at Popeyes' Louisiana Kit...

Re: Church and Politics

Interesting discussion. I am fairly liberal minded but was raised by extremely conservative parents. My inability to reconcile the conservative viewpoint with the gospel was a notch in my shelf early on. Interestingly, leaving the church was freeing for my existing views instead of changing them.

Re: false negatives. They are telling people here with symptoms to self isolate 14 days with a negative test to be sure. I've had 2 saliva tests recently as part of screenings. Due to my public facing job I'm anticipating getting the vaccine as soon as this coming week. Waiting to hear about an appo...

A coffee grinder, better filters and a good machine were enough for me.

Today though, red wine with my garlic chicken pizza.

Re: Estrangement

I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this on top of everything else, Thoughtful. MORmONism basically estranged my family of origin from each other, even when we were all attempting to be good MORmONs.

Re: Estrangement

Sorry to hear that you are feeling estranged. That sucks. DW has gone to lengths to hide our disaffection from our family. However, there is still some suspicion, so we still get avoided a little. Thank you. This sounds like my side. My folks have taken it all better than I thought. I finally told ...

One of my best friends has symptoms. She has been so careful. She almost quit her job to avoid it. Her coworker has been at work sick all week and was afraid of the nasal swab. Coworker finally was tested and its positive. So my friend likely is positive also. My house is the safe space for LGBT Tee...

Re: #givethanks

My thought is: what breaking controversy or scandal is this covering up for?

If not, its just attention seeking and self validation.

But I told my mother I thought it was a nice message and we had a good moment on the phone. Sigh.
