This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

Of course I have to listen to the worst session. That was bad from start to finish. Thanks again, Mopag, for allowing ranting to take place. Better than sitting in silence!
It was the worst session!
At least we can suffer together as a ward family.

Many thanks to President Mopag! I could only handle a little of this today, but my NOM friends made it bearable.

Good makeup work. Great tan on a 99 year old. Looks surprisingly well for his age given how unforgiving 4K cameras can be.
My wife and I both commented immediately that he's been "botoxed" and done fillers. Seriously, they've done something with him. That's pretty vain at his age. You know he had to ask for it.
"There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily."
"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light."
I think Elder Stevenson and President Oaks both oppose the second portion of the Great Commandments: Love our neighbor, because it runs afoul of the Brethren's white-hot anger toward the LGBTQ community. They are willing to throw this prime teaching of Jesus under the bus to satisfy this deficiency in their way of being.
No wonder young members of good conscience are fleeing the Church.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
