Re: What kind of list am I on?
Don't get me wrong, I'm overjoyed to be on the list. If they kept harassing me to do the stuff I can no longer do I would just disengage completely. I'm hoping some wise leader, probably the SP I mentioned earlier, believes me when I say I'm only there to support my wife and they don't want to lose ...

Re: Book of Mormon describes Church of the Devil as Current COB
I have also noticed a striking similarity with the Zoramites, at least when the get up on the rameumptum and thank God for making them superior to everyone else: "thanking their God that they were chosen of him, and that he did not lead them away after the tradition of their brethren."

Re: Apostate Quotes for Faithful Talks
he "Fight Club" quote did lead the bishopric to ask me to work with some of the more challenging youth in the ward. The figured that anyone with a strong enough testimony(!) to quote from Fight Club was obviously a good fit to fellowship the youth flirting with apostasy. So, are you considering sta...

Re: Apostate Quotes for Faithful Talks
Today I understand that Jesus gave us the gospel, but Satan invented church.

Re: What kind of list am I on?
It must be really confusing to have a member who doesn't believe, yet doesn't seem to be struggling in any way, who attends SM meetings regularly but won't go to HPG, who won't accept a calling but is happy to scrub the toilets, and (thanks to a very understanding former BP/now SP) is still a recomm...

Re: Mrs. Hagoth is reading RSR
That's great, Hagoth. I hope she comes away with more appreciation of your position. My wife read it right after I confessed I no longer believe (which happened not long after I read RSR). She said it reaffirmed her faith, and she has never waivered a single bit since then. Sigh. Good for her for a...

If you consider the topography of Holland it sorta becomes metaphorical by default.

What kind of list am I on?
HIPS's excellent thread about NOMing up his prayer got me thinking about this. After I turned down a couple of prayer assignments, a PEC invitation and a couple of callings they stopped bugging me, even though there has been a complete leadership turnover since then. I did get a stake calling extend...

Re: Asked to pray in church
That's an opportunity well used, HIPS. After my disaffection I really started dreading public prayer. Finally I declined to accept the offer and I have never been asked since. It almost makes me feel like my bishop really is inspired.

I'm not sure they were really listening to the presenters as much as trying to make sure there was no chance of them being gay.

Re: Different First Visions Accounts Shouldn't Challenge Your Faith - Whatever
When I hear the older dudes in HPG telling amazing, miraculous stories from their mission 50 years ago, in extreme detail, right down to word-for-word dialog, I always wonder what REALLY happened. Same with the official FV story. I think we need look no further than the before and after appearance o...

Re: What I wish I would have done differently
I wish I had realized sooner that the problem was not with me - that it wasn't my fault the church seemed so messed up to me. I blamed myself for not being adequately faithful or worthy when I was losing my testimony. I was disappointed with myself that I couldn't be a stronger example of a faithful...

Nice to meet you!
I'm glad to see the Introductions forum is back. Since we don't have our old introductions anymore it would be nice to have people write a brief recap of their story.

As noted, I was Kishkumen on the old board. I've adopted a new name for variety of reasons. We're just glad you're back! Confessions: I discovered hard cider at a pub in Ireland.
