Re: Special Meeting S Idaho

If I can stand to attend, I certainly will. I haven't been active in a year or so but this feels unusual. There is lots of speculation about pretty much every scenario. Our inactive rate hasn't drastically changed ( I live in the land of Ezra Taft) and our stake was recently realigned. Several ...

Re: Why People Leave the Church and Never Come Back

The comments are pretty fascinating if you want to recall how a TBM feels/thinks.

Re: Why People Leave the Church and Never Come Back

I really liked this article. I felt like it hits on some really key issues but is still "safe" for anybody to read.

Thinking of sharing myself but I don't know that I want to engage on the topic.

Re: Lex de Azevedo on Mormon Stories

I listened to it.

Although I can't remember specifics, I walked away thinking that he must of chosen to believe.

I loved how open he was about issues and that it comes down to love.

I also found it funny he didn't love "Saturdays Warrior".

Special Meeting S Idaho

I just learned that our area is having a special meeting in place of church Oct. 29. An apostle and 70 are scheduled to attend. Anyone had any experience with this kind of meeting?

Re: "I LOVE Jeffrey R Holland"

Not Buying it, yes exactly. Not buying his talk.

I specifically remember the Uchtdorf talk about "doubting your doubts". From the NOM view it was like, yes, someone gets it. The behaviors didn't change on a local level at all.

Re: "I LOVE Jeffrey R Holland"

Alas, thank you. I have loved reading your wisdom over the years. I can't figure out how to add the boxes of text while using my phone. I agree with putting the problem out in the open. My thought has been- what are they going to do, not talk to me? Already happened. We visited last summer briefly ...

Re: "I LOVE Jeffrey R Holland"

I guess it caught me off guard. Things are a bit better the last few months. Our Ward has a new BP and I believe people are allowed to communicate with us again. Mostly I just don't want things to be weirder so I can't decide if I should say nothing or something really sarcastic. I can't think of ...

"I LOVE Jeffrey R Holland"

This was a text I just received from a lady in our Ward who "use" to be my friend- maybe I should say we use to be closer than we are now. I haven't been very active on here but have read it for several years. Long story short, I haven't attended church for about a year and a half. I have a family ...

Re: Resignation

My husband and son resigned this past fall through quitmormon.com. I believe it is the same SLC lawyer mentioned above. The site walks you through the necessary steps. We received zero contact from the stake or ward. A confirmation email was sent when it was finished. Seemed quite uneventful after ...

Re: Protecting my kids..

We sent a letter out to our bishopric and SP a few years ago and it ended horribly. My 16 year old son was not allowed to have the priesthood, my 8 year old wasn't allowed baptism. My teen daughters were not allowed on any temple trips. Our request was called "creative" and "unnecessary" because the ...
