Re: Help reconsidering participation in ministering
Opting out of ministering sounds like a good option. You could instead request a family and companion of your choice if you would like to continue visiting the guy you mentioned. That's what I do. I tell them I will minister the same two families that I have ministered since I was active, many year...

Church Finances and the CBC
So some interesting news. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's signature investigative news show, The Fifth Estate, has put together a piece on the church's finances, and it will broadcast this coming Thursday. This is a big deal. The Fifth Estate is like Canada's version of 60 Minutes . Now, gra...

Re: Fish out of water
It was the redoubtable pirate Corsair who likened the situation to Rorschach from the movie Watchmen, who, while in prison, shouted out to all the inmates who wanted him dead, "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me!" I have made that my mantra ever since. It takes some se...

Re: Fish out of water
That's the NOM reality - neither fish nor fowl, condemned to be on the sidelines while the Mormons do their Mormon thing. For me, it's been over a decade it's been like this, and not only have I accepted it, I have embraced it. Much to the chagrin of the other Mormons around me. They don't know what...

Re: Supporting our own
Jfro, Just wanted to pass along a happy message. Syster Ryder has been listening to your podcast series. She’s 5 episodes in and said she enjoys the “just the facts” tone. No anger or biased side taking. Just presenting the information in a good solid information sharing tone. She found the podcast...

Re: NOMference Fall 2022 Scores
Thanks for your auditing report, President. It was far more accurate and transparent than the church's auditing report.
All hail Mopag!

Re: What’s wrong with the cross?
It is dumb, and the only saving grace of what Holland said about it, was that we shouldn't give anybody grief who wears one. But his explanation of why not was just standard nonsense of "worshipping a living Christ" instead of his death, etc. etc. Really, it would just cost a crapload of money at th...

Re: Ultra-quick summary of conference?
Very succinct, SI, and less rage inducing than actually reading transcripts or listening to it.

Re: Apostle complaint
Here's the quote (taken from FAIR): Brethren, I want you to understand that it is not to be as it has been heretofore. The brother missionaries have been in the habit of picking out the prettiest women for themselves before they get here, and bringing on the ugly ones for us; hereafter you have to ...

Re: Apostle complaint
Hey kids, I'm trying to remember which early apostle complained about the missionaries grabbing all the pretty convert women before they got to Salt Lake City, leaving him with only the homely ones to choose from. Anybody out there who can help me find his quote? It was Cook's great grandpa, ol' He...

Um, feelings of inadequacy don't always come from the adversary, Ryan. Must have missed Pearson's talk.

I dont think I have ever given or taken away a point to any one of Eyring's talks. They are just so...vacuous?
