Re: The widow's mite, or the widow's MUST
Off topic (sorry, but curious). Just wondering if the activities for boys has become as crappy as activities for girls? Without the boy scouts, have the activities for YM and YW become equally underwhelming? Yup. According to our ward activity rates it’s pizza night mingled with scripture and swimm...

Re: Why conferance is so bad
It doesn't really matter how good or bad conference is. It doesn't matter if it's the same old stuff. To the TTTTTTBM, it's an uplifting, glorious experience. The gushy memes that show up after conference are distasteful to me, but I have to remember that I used to think the same way. I try to watch...

Re: Mocking Bald Prophets
I love how an unconditional, loving God and His unconditional, loving leaders are all about violent destruction--when you don't live up to their conditions. Related question: can bald prophets also summon flocks of flesh-ripping pigeons? Hmmm. Alfred Hitchcock wasn't a prophet, but he was bald. If a...

Re: God’s Intervention
This assumes a much simpler religious landscape than actually exists. Which God? Even among Christian denominations you could be damned for the wrong choice of faction. The odds don't favor Pascal's choice. I would think that a truly loving God would know how you lived and felt. Humans have a terri...

Re: I've lost it !!!!
I lost it years ago. I went from being a 'TBM' to a 'wanna still be TBM' to 'clinging to whatever will keep me being a TBM' to being atheist. All of this in a very short period of time. The vengeful God always bothered me. Unconditional love, as long as... God became more like the mother in Mommie D...

Re: Ward Conference Approacheth
I would suggest a counter offer to their rider. This is what we can do for you. We'll start the prelude music 2 min early, unless you can have your stake music chairman send an organ sub. We're gonna visit just one family afterwards. If you want to visit more, have your stake exec sec set that up f...

Re: Fight The New Drug
This thread ruined my hope for humanity. Enjoy your porn you sick animals. Goodbye. Wow? I don't think anyone here has really said they "enjoy" porn. They just disagree that it is a drug that will lead to abuse, obsession, and ruin. Your statement implies that anyone who disagrees is thick into obs...
Re: Love
I think we are commanded to love everyone. It doesn't mean you have to like them. It's often easy to love those we don't know, and harder to love those we do. I feel bad for the messenger that has to let people know they have to wear a mask in church or any public place that requires such. The angry...

Re: Fight The New Drug
Good points. Probably should keep carrots, cucumbers, and bananas behind the store counter. Have you seen some of those memes out there? Anything can be a drug. Any activity or hobby is someone's unhealthy obsession, leading to addiction and destruction. From food to plastic surgery, there is health...

Re: Elder Gong: “Please don’t post that photo…”
Good on Gong for having dinner with his son and partner. Bad on Gong for trying to hide it from social media. It's no secret. He could be such a support for other LDS members who "struggle" having LGBTQ children; a show of inclusion and acceptance of those who use their agency. It isn't like his son...

Re: “Carry Overs” into the next life?
If any adverse mentality that we have will carry over to the afterlife, what happens when the adverse mentality is a result of mortal imperfections? Example, a person live in chronic pain due to a genetic defect, say multiple sclerosis. This has resulted in an dependence on opioid painkillers to ge...
Re: Big Love
I don't get it, just like you 2bizE; But there are lots of True Believing Polygamist Mormons (TBPM's?) who are perfectly happy with their religion/lot in life. I'll bet not that many are perfectly happy. They are obedient, but I would guess few are happy. Just like a select few LDS are happy; there...

A good example of how we are told to vote our conscience......as long as your conscience agrees with the church. Let the consequence follow.

Re: What are you watching right now?
Just finished Fatma. Pretty sad. I recently watched Squid Games. I too can't stand to watch with dubbing. I have to watch in the native language with subtitles. I've started so many programs on Netflix, just to abandon them. Good shows are occasional. Luckily I'm old enough, and forget so much detai...

Re: New Year’s resolutions?
I am glad you said this, as I am a fellow hater of New Years resolutions and the commercialization of all the holidays. That is why unrepentant Grinch and Scrooge are two of my favorite people. At least in Grinch, he learns that perhaps Christmas doesn’t come from a store. But the first thing Scroo...

Re: New Hymn book announced!
Are the hymn books the same world wide? Seems they could leave the patriotic stuff in the USA books.
I remember, years ago, when the new primary songbook came out and my mom was livid that they left out Give Said the Little Stream. I thought she may leave the church. Hahahaha.

Re: New Year’s resolutions?
Dropping all, but one, streaming subscription. I have dropped most streaming subscriptions already, but must choose only one to keep. Streaming is out of control. So I'm back to paper books and CDs. Netflix is crappier by the month, I don't know which subscription I should choose because they are al...

Re: If there isn't there should be.
Should be. Wouldn't it be something if you could get a panel from the right and left to have a live debate? An actual organized event to debate the political topics that have become so toxic? Something like the old McLaughlin Group. It can get heated, but stay respectful. Give equal time to present ...
