top 5 smoking guns

I posted this on reddit too so apologies for the double if you see both. Just looking for some help. Here's what I posted: "Hey all, the time has come for me to open up to friends and family about my disaffection. I don't want to go into details about the evidence against the church in the letter I ...

Proof

I was thinking about something the other day. I saw (yet again) that we cannot prove Joseph Smith was a prophet and we cannot prove he was a fraud. We are all free to choose what we believe about him. I thought to myself, if the Bible were true (it isn't) then "by their fruits ye shall KNOW them ...

Using your agency/Presiding

Two unrelated light-hearted topics but have something in common I thought was interesting. Has anyone every noticed that "using your agency" is just the Mormon way of saying "making a mistake?" "I was so disappointed in myself because my son left the church, but I realized he can use his agency ...

More Evidence Against BOM

http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170328-the-first-people-who-populated-the-americas "The team concludes that the ancestors of the first Americans came to Beringia at some point between 23,000 years and 13,000 years ago." Somehow in the debate about genetics, we keep forgetting to bring up that it is ...

Buzzfeed covers MormonLeaks

Anyone see this?

https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimdalrympleii ... .mmAekjVa0

It was on the homepage of Digg as well. Wow, two big media outlets covering MormonLeaks, that's got to move the needle a bit on traffic numbers, right?

Native Americans from Middle East

I kid you not, the following article was the first thing I saw on my Facebook feed this morning: http://natives-today.com/2017/01/20/dna-scientists-claim-that-cherokees-are-from-the-middle-east-2/ The caption? "Hmm... Are you telling me there might be some truth to that little thing called the Book ...

Standing in the circle?

Ok, so since my disaffection 2 years ago I've done some research into what I can and cannot do now that my temple recommend has expired. I've discovered that I am still able to baptize my children if they decide to be baptized, so long as I am not guilty of any great sin. However, I would not be ...

Laws of Physics

Just realized NOM had been moved here, so thought I would join up for an occasional post or two. So I caught something the other day I thought would make for an interesting discussion. We're always taught God is the master scientist who lives within the laws of physics, yes? I'd like to offer up ...
