On the old NOM board, we use to post a real photo of ourselves on our avatar for a few days, then change back. Almost everybody did for a few days. My real photo will be up for 2 days only!

This is so cool and inspiring! Go Dog Go!

What a great connection. I wish I lived up north. I would invite myself to said kayak trip! Well git yer but up here! Open invite to all, BTW. Of course, I can't speak for No Tof, but I'm very plugged into meeting some NOM folk (I think he would be to. He's just that kind of warm) - hope to see som...

If you're willing to share - are you located in the morridor or the field? This "I know you" story would be extremely remarkable if it was in the field. Just a couple of field stones gathering moss . . . N. of the 49th lat. BTW, I am so green with envy of you boldly making your avatar, you! I want ...

With a nudge from MalcomVillager, and finding I’ve got a small window of time, I thought I'd post something very cool! It happened with a NOM member. After posting on Question #8 of the temple recommend questions, I got a private message from No Tof. It was very timely, with some sound words of wisd...

It's been interesting as I've alluded to in some of my posts. I'll try to get an update posted soon - something very cool happened with another NOM member. Thanks for asking.

Sorry! When I went to pick up the link, I noticed it was for premium members only so won't be available until July 18th. This podcast is very raw, emotional, and Bill throws around some light swearing (bull shit, worked my ass off, etc.). The whole podcast seems uncharacteristically darker than what...

My heart goes out to Bill Reel tonight. This little David nailed the institutional Goliath squarely between the eyes with his emotionally charged podcast, "The Spiritual Trauma of Mormonism". Bill. Even though your aim was perfect, your rocks are too small (um . . . I'm talking about the rocks in yo...

It's been approaching two months since I posted my book-length post on publicly declaring my disaffection. I'd be interested in any math formula's anyone might have in the after-math of your faith crisis. Clearly I'm no good at math, but here's my after-math formula: 2 months since disaffection - a...

Go for it, Korihor should you feel so inclined. Funny you should bring this up. My oldest son (35yo) handed me a bag to hold with some stuff he bought while we were on a recent holiday. I peeked inside and saw a big fat cigar. He's very open - especially now that I'm transitioned. I was immediately ...

Do you strive to keep the covenants you have made: I didn't make them. Some medievil (sp. intentional) stone masons made them. They are weirder now that I know the truth than when I was first traumatized by them back in the late seventies. to attend your sacrament and other meetings: Again, these a...

Great discussion thread, Rubin. I had one more thought on the math. Make sure your numbers subtract the inactive who are headed for lesser kingdoms so although their membership records are retained to elevate to the faithful that they are part of an unstoppable force to be I-reckoned with, they don'...

Epic. I wish there were a stronger word to describe my enthusiasm for this podcast. Love the 'what if' especially at the end. I couldn't help think of a few more what-ifs - one in particular. What if (insert name of individual who took his/her own life because of same gender attraction policy of the...

Yeah, I think I remember some apologetic attempts at explaining swords of steel as really being instruments that seem a little more like clubs with a cutting or smashing edge made of fastened or embedded obsidian. Am I remembering this apologetic attempt correctly? I mean, how on earth would they e...

Well, maybe the father was inspired. I mean, the kid wouldn't have to pay rent, etc. if he lived at home. Not sure what to do about his companion, though. :D Btw, what happened? Did the kid serve here or did they issue a new call? My friend? Inspired? :D Where they chose to live had el zippo to do ...

Well now, that's a pretty awesome discovery! Makes me wish I'd gone into paleontology or one of those fields instead of hammering on a keyboard all day long. Did anyone here every hear a story or theory that the neanderthals or other non-homo bones were some decedents of Cain? Obviously a crazy mad...

I don't even know how to express the scope of difference between the stone-aged technology of humans 130,000 years ago and the metallurgy claimed in the BoM. This question is already raised by the confirmed presence of humans in the Americas circa 15,000 years ago, but if these new provisional conc...

Thanks for posting a link to your blog. I have read it and it's a very impressive document. Some thoughts . . . First, I see you are dead serious about contacting the brethren. I would suggest that because you have been so completely shut down locally, you stand little chance at getting any attentio...

I am so far gone- the only thing that would change my mind is a visit from Jesus himself.

. . . AND a recent photo ID.

Very well said, concise, and on point - especially quoting past prophets (I mean presidents) to firmly establish the half-truths perpetuated by church leadership. The feelings of betrayal are staggering. I know this. Thank you. I connected very much to what you are saying. I think you're fifty two p...
