Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?
Its fascinating to me how the lawsuits from churches and businesses are overriding the best scientific knowledge. America will kill itself off via rugged individualism and personal "rights". Meanwhile, other countries govts incentivise compliance and they are succeeding, at least, more than we are. ...

Re: Coffee question
I prefer a Folgers-like coffee. I like the most boring, non flavored coffee with some half and half, and a little sweetener. I've tried some of the "fancy" stuff and I don't like it. If I'm out and about (which is almost never), and stop at Starbucks, I get blonde roast. It's not so bitter. The les...

Re: Coffee question
I drink filtered dark roast coffee with a splash of almond milk, using freshly ground beans. Seems to be pretty consistent. One thing to consider is that unfiltered coffee has some health detriment compared to filtered. I do not filter mine because it tastes more bitter without the oils the filter ...

Re: Are member's testimonies changing?!
Spouseman was in a conversation with an active TBM lady week and they volunteered the thought that, "the church is really a mess right now. Their aggressive stance against everything LGBT, women, and race is just spiraling into crazy."

Re: Keeping up with Trump

Re: Worship the church rather than Christ
So, so many sacrament meetings where Christ was only mentioned in the prayers.
Spouseman and I used to tally Jesus references because they were rare.

Conceptualizing God
The more I think about Mormon God, the more douchey he seems. Rules are rules because he says so, so sex with children is fine, if he says so. Slavery also fine if it suits his purposes. Anyway. Picture a God(dess) who is the same yesterday, that, forever. What would they be? What would their prophe...

My nevermo friends are fascinated by Mormon prepper doctrines. I try to give them background to make things make sense and it is soooo crazy sounding.

Re: How essential is a literal Adam and Eve story to Mormonism?
The word "Adam" just means "man." The story includes a talking snake. It's not really even a myth, it's a fable. It's impossible to imagine this fable as history. There is zero chance that there are historical figures involved in this obvious fable. Yup. Man beguiled woman with his “snake” and thus...

Re: New handbook changes
Looks like some new changes. I no longer have to ask my regional sales manager bishop down the street if it's cool if I get a vasectomy apparently, although it's still discouraged. Also if you're a young teen who has a kid out of wedlock you have the option to jump straight into Elders quorum or re...

And then came the "Joseph wasn't a polygamist" by Kenneth Card. :shock: I started watching that presentation and it was very painful. His argument seemed to be, "all of these scriptures show that plural marriage is not right and then these statements show that Joseph was not a fan. Therefore, Josep...

We were listening to Bert E at Sunstone last night on the literary origins of heaven and hell. 9yo: He's not supposed to say h.e....
