NOM

Wow, thanks for ressurecting the thread, the podcast sounds great. I have quit listening to all of them, but this sounds worthwhile. In Mormonism, God the all powerful who created the entire universe, cannot help fallen man enough to grasp and be able to communicate his truth without distorting it. ...

.....and if allowed to live long enough, even graduate to Messiah. It is only the last step that Joseph Smith missed, because probably he was murdered too early for it to occur. All the other steps were the same, more or less. Wasn't it one of those Skousen boys that had the "Messiah Ben Judah and ...

This place is a godsend for many. Thanks ya'll, for being there for those of us who drift in and out. Although there is so much to chooses from, this quote from early on in my posting days has remained memorable. Thanks RR. Why does God have to be so distant? I used to ask this same question. Then I...

I love BJ videos! :lol: You will have to find a new source of these videos because BJ announced that this is the last BJ video he is producing. I suspect that he is not as interested in BJ activity nearly as much you might be. He appears to be moving on with new hobbies in his life. You could produ...

I found this article from a skeptical point of view pretty interesting: https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/why-is-there-something-rather-than-nothing/ . Whoa. This article is going to take some effort to digest. Into the pocket app it goes... I am interested in the other question. I don't think t...

I am going to reveal something personal here. I hate using public bathrooms. I hate that moment when you walk in and you lock eyes with someone you know, who is sighing in relief as he empties his bladder. I hate sitting down next to a heavy breather who is laboring intensely over something 3 stalls...

Ahhhh.... So your girls were changing their pads WHILE men were in the same room with them but the girls were in a stall. Is that what you're saying? I think I've been pretty clear so far. Have you been reading what I have been saying? If you go back and read what I have been saying, I'm saying: 1....

My husband tried that idea of keeping the Sabbath by trying to make home on Sunday like church back when we had small children. That was exhausting to me as mother. He goes off to study scriptures and I get to keep three small children, in the house, in their Sunday clothes, and being reverent so h...

Beach. But I had to conference earlier with the DH. And the new recommend question about keeping the sabbath holy is probably gonna come up later. I tried to forestall it by saying we all get to decide for ourselves how to keep it holy for ourselves but I don’t think that’s gonna fly after Nelson’s...

Didn't Jesus say something about the one and the ninety nine? Two is twice as much as one. Somebody check my math on that. O.K., lessee here.....mathematics, the subject I love but it doesn't love me.....O.K. add the 6 and the 34, divide by 8, subtract 3, add 9, multiply by 0, add 2.....yep, it che...

Having stressed everyone out by stressing the importance of GC, DW is now asleep.

meme alert: less wifi more nephi :roll: I will be looking forward for that in my social media feed in the near future. Thanks all you guys, for giving me the summary so I can gaze out the window blissfully drinking my coffee and reading. Not reading about Nephi. And if it sounds peaceful, keep in m...

Numerous times in the Old Testament God would essentially tell his people Israel, "Ok, you're in a bad spot here and you have done it to yourselves and now you want me to bail you out. Well, YOU DON'T DESERVE IT, but I'm going to do it FOR MY NAME'S SAKE." That's Grace. Mercy is, not getting the pu...

Salvation is entirely, utterly, and singularly ALWAYS based on an individual, not a group. And, salvation cannot have an in-between, no matter what or who that intermediary is, between the individual and God. The idea of a church is to expand, set up, work with, and help the individual gain salvati...

Skip the boiling and fortify it and you're most of the way to a Sangria which is good for warmer weather. Oh man, I had sangria the other day. It was really really good. One of my co-workers who is familiar with my situation told me I was taking to the alcohol thing way too well. Like “normal perso...

Someone here sometime suggested a "men of NOM" calendar. That might not generate enough to fund Corsair's sunstone trip. In the absence of an in-person photoshoot, it could be avatar pictures with best quotes.

The kids were learning "follow the prophet" at some point in the recent past. I hate that song, for obvious reasons. So I started to make fun of it substituting funny words. The word that stuck, that all my kids will sing now, is "follow the chocolate." Some new primary song is new and focuses heavy...

I used to really hate it when the drycouncil people would "bring love from the stake president." I guess when the mantle descends upon those who have stewardship over others it automatically enables them to love everyone with a greater capacity than before. What a crock. Especially when that stake p...

Church leadership is one of those jobs that could be done more efficiently by robots. All you need is a database of statements made by previous leaders and an algorithm that strings them together into semi-coherent 20 minute compilations. That explains Bednar. He must be the prototype apostlebot. H...

Sigh. This is what NOM is for, a place for you to come and share your feelings. I hope talking through things here is helpful, I will echo the support for RR's list. I have many pieces of sage advice, but a lot has been shared. What Corsair said is interesting, this is not a fork in the road. Think ...
