Re: Reading List

I love this thread and think it's a great idea to make it a "sticky thread". I was going to post some of my favorite books, but most of them have been named already....some excellent suggestions.

I'll go ahead and pin this thread.

Re: Used to be in

Children began questioning and leaving the church (without my permission no less) and I was sure I could solve it and find the answers to their questions. One rabbit hole later I find myself confident it is all a facade. Wow, this is so familiar to me. I watched the PBS special "The Mormons" and he...

Re: Hi, I'm Bonfire from the old forums

Hey, I was looking for the old forums where I posted of enduring my crisis of faith while being a missionary. This has always been a wonderful and caring community, so I hope to return some of the kindness I have received (: Welcome! Glad you found us. I too would love an update regarding how you'r...

Re: The Masonic Book of Abraham

Previously on the board I wrote extensively on the Mormon-Masonic connection. In addition, I promised at some time to share some of my research on the Masonic roots of the Book of Abraham. Sadly, other important tasks have largely superseded and I have never gotten a chance to post the information ...

Re: The Masonic Book of Abraham

I hope none of you will mind me adding a new thread to the New Order Mormon - Doctrinal Discussions group. I just received a message from one of the groups members alerting me to the recreation of the New Order Mormon site. George? Is it really you??? :D I saw your name as the newest registered mem...

Re: A New Name, an Old Friend

Thanks for the warm welcomes. :) My husband is still a believer, but he rarely attends anymore. We had a few rough years (there were other issues already creating problems). He was sure that the devil made me do leave the church, thanks to bishop K. :roll: We are at a pretty good place now acceptin...

Re: How did you find the new site?

Finally found you all! I got a notification on Tapatalk of a chat going on. I scrolled up and saw I missed a ton of chatter, including the new address. I've missed NOM so much! I signed up a few days ago, waited for an activation email that never came, then found I was able to log in anyway. So hap...

Re: A New Name, an Old Friend

All through this process, I discussed everything with my TBM DH. He was supportive of all of my questioning and searching until I found that I didn't believe. Then we could no longer talk reasonably about religion. There was never any threats of divorce over my leaving the church, but it definitely...

Re: Utah Mormons don't "have their back" for Muslims

It is true that his mom is now married to another woman. It's irrelevant to whether or not he would have been a good president, but true. Ok, I hadn't checked that part out. I agree with you that it's irrelevant. I immediately thought of the new policy when I heard these members discussing that, th...

Re: Utah Mormons don't "have their back" for Muslims

This is evidenced by the fact that McMullen was in the lead until the white supremacist robocall accused him of being gay and same-sex marriage tolerant, at which point the votes immediately jumped over to Trump I heard a few whispers of this among some LDS friends. Yup. What I heard was from those...

Separation from gentiles, treasure seeking/"seeing" with magical objects, and polygamy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Israelites Gee, any surprise that Smith Sr and Cowdery Sr apparently were involved with this "sect" and later Joe Jr and Oliver Jr created a sect that would ultimately have thes...

Board Rules

1) No Foul or abusive language, name calling, bullying or personal attacks; Keep language PG and question/critique ideas not people. 2) No Over-the-top disrespect for the church and believing members; This is basically what separates us from the "angry anti-mormon" forums. 3) No openly mocking of th...
