Re: NOM Conference call? Group therapy?

I think I could join either of those evenings after 6:30 or 7:00 MT.

If it happens, I'll try to dial in. I'd like to meet more NOMs. :)

Re: NOM touchstone - thanks!

I saw civilizations that ranged from 5800 years ago right up to the time of Spanish Conquest, so the Americas were massively populated long before and after BoM times. No gold plates, no wooden submarines. Oh dear. Hagoth obviously has succumbed to the peer pressure from all the anti-Mormon, bully ...

Re: Confused, directionless, and lonely

Sending good vibes. All I can do is commiserate. I'm 10 years into this path and it hasn't gotten any easier for me, sorry to say. A while back Red Ryder (I think it was) posted something here on NOM like "I used to be worried that DW and I would get a divorce. Now I worry that we won't." I'm feelin...

Re: My Sunday Doctrine

I believe the church should allow those of us outdoor types to hold class as some kind of activity. It does so much more for my well being than sitting at church ever could. [snark] But how can you possibly be feeling the spirit if you're not sitting in a hot stuffy classroom with a bunch of group ...

Re: JS Reference to "9 times out of 10"

You could haved asked what happened to the belief in the trinity in early mormonism and started quite a discussion or at least looks of confusion. :) Funny you say that... I came sooooooo close to asking about the trinity. I asked them if god and Jesus both have bodies and they all agreed. Then I a...

Re: JS Reference to "9 times out of 10"

Thanks for the info, I was hoping to have a bit of a spirited discussion with that quote. As it turned out, we didn't even get that far into the talk... had a couple of guys who were more than happy to yammer away re their thoughts on the god head. I actually wanted to have the discussion about "9 o...

JS Reference to "9 times out of 10"

I'm teaching EQ today and the lesson is on Rasband's talk from last conference, "Let the Holy Spirit Guide". Near the end of the talk, he has a reference from JS which says: The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that if you will listen to the first promptings, you will get it right nine times out of ten. ...

Re: It is better for one man to perish......

http://www.mormondiscussionpodcast.org/2017/06/premium-radio-free-mormon-murder-foul/ This podcast is amazing. For the first time I processed that Nephi actually became Laban in the end. Both wanted to steal the other's property and kill them. Nephi succeeded. (Apparently with god's help.) A great l...

Re: For those who believe in God,...is he a jerk or nice?

I'm sitting in my favorite chair with a hot cup of my favorite blend of coffee, looking out at a beautiful morning. The sun is sparkling on the leaves of our peach trees, which are laden with ripening peaches. On the ground next to the peach trees are the limbs of an oak that cracked and blew down ...

Re: Read through my missionary journal

I am seriously considering burning my mission journal. ^^ This is what I did and I don't regret it. It was early ~ish in my faith crisis but past the point of returning to naivety. I was on a back pack trip and had a couple of extra days by myself. Sitting at the campsite and watching the pages bur...

Re: Homosexuals are broken

Even if they will be fixed in heaven, why do we have to judge or punish them in this life? We don't do the same for mentally disabled. We don't do this for blacks (anymore). Interesting. Being the father of a mentally handicapped daughter, and not having any recourse to 'fix' that issue, was one of...

I'd like to come to one of these lunches. Any way we could meet at somewhere like Rio Grande Cafe that has easier parking?

I'll keep watching here for the next lunch.

Re: Stuck

Word.

If you are local to SLC or Davis counties and ever want to grab lunch and chat, shoot me a PM. Some cool NOMs around here that would be good sounding boards.

NOM hikes are cathartic too in case you ever want to join with some of us.

This is what I don't get... There is such a thing as video cameras that can record and then rebroadcast said recordings. If TSM is really still sitting in council with the other Q15 only is now working from home, he should be okay to let the church membership know himself either via prerecorded mess...

I've been thinking a lot about the OP and this thread. I have nothing but sympathy for you and situation. I know the feeling, and the pain.

Good luck TestimoyLost. Some of us here are on very similar journeys.
