Yep

(Late reply; I rarely come over here nowadays.)

I couldn’t really follow, because my husband is listening on his phone in the other room, but Oaks talk was one of his worst ever. He went so far overboard on the word “covenant”, that it started to sound just ridiculous, like every third to every other word, and he emphasized it, like maybe he is a ...

I came over here specifically to read the NOMference comments. Thanks, MoPag. I appreciate it, even though I rarely come here nowadays.

How has this man made it through his life without getting his a$$ beat on the daily? I mean... :lol: tell us you are a narcissistic ass without using those words... Both of you are really making me wonder what these men said (or was it only one man?). Same one. He talked about sitting behind and ...

Oh it's a suck up talk within a prayer!!!! How did I get so lucky? :lol: Now you've got me curious. What did he say during the prayer? Nothing really special. It was more the fact that they asked him to give a prayer, but he thought he'd give a talk in the middle of his prayer. Okay. I've heard ...

I really hope this results in public financial discovery of the LDS Corp coffers.

Quite a few years ago, a construction firm that I was working for at the time was involved in remodeling the church lawyers digs, which at the time was Kirton McConkie Poelman, and this was before ol' Poelman, who was a stake pres at the time, got caught with his pants down with a male prostitute ...

About senior missionaries, hubby and I have a relative who is on a senior mission with her husband. They kind of complained that they have them working 18 hour days, 6 days a week, and Sunday too if a car needs work so the important people can use it. Retired seniors working 18 hours. And his is ...

Thank you, Corsair!

Thanks Cap'n Salty & the even Saltier Crew.

Whoo hoo!

Yep. Any link I click, I have to go through the warning to open that link. If I click on "Board Index," I have to dance through the warning. When I clicked the link to respond here, I had to do it again. It's super annoying. I can't figure out how to turn it off. Wow! That's strange. I got a ...

Yep. Namby pamby. Wishy-washy. Don't take a real stand on much of anything.

When I tried to come here today, I got a warning that this site might be unsafe and might try to steal my info, etc. - or it could just be that some online certificate expired. 🙄 I pushed through anyway, because I know this site isn't one to ask for credit cards and all that. Anyway, I thought I wo ...

It is always a comfort to hear that someone decides not to take the drastic step of taking their life, as it has a long-lasting consequences for the living left behind. I've been suicidal many times. The main thing stopping me was the idea that God would be mad at me - and that it would not cause ...

Many NDE survivors come back with gifts, like increased IQ, skills in science, art, or music. That one really has scientists baffled. You are clinically dead for extended time and you come back smarter and better than you were? It might be worth it to have an NDE if I came back smarter or better ...

It would be just living your life, trying to be a good person and when you die- that's it. No heaven, hell or anything in-between. Good people die all the time, and if they are not religious, you miss them- at least I do. Love is not bound by any religious belief or disbelief, either one. To be ...
