Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
How’s the eye? And the house? I haven't logged-in to this board for several months. I was able to return to work in August. My eye is much better than it was. The pain and light sensitivity are gone, but everything is extremely blurry. I usually close my one eye when I drive because I can see b ...

Re: Garment shortage?
With the garment shortage we are now authorized to just wear pasties….er…um… stickers. There was a website where you could buy iron on decals to turn any underwear into garments. It is gone now but you can see it via the way back machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20151222035954/http://mak ...

Re: Nephite Coin - Proves the BoM True :)
Most TBMs whether they only see the headline or even if they read the article will go away only remembering that they have seen documented evidence of Nephite coins from a reputable source... When I asked my TBM (now ex-) wife if she knew of any archeological evidence of the BOM she said was sure ...

Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
I just want to add that my family has been very supportive of me during this difficult time. A couple of them brought up church solutions initially, but when I didn’t express interest they didn’t press the issue. Some posters here on NOM offered advice about this that I found helpful. I got a lot of ...

Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
Jeez, I'm glad to hear things are going in a positive direction, even if slowly. Do you have any idea how an amoeba enters the eye? Was it from wearing contacts? Just wondering if they gave an explanation. From what I have read 85% of cases are from contact wearers. Rinsing contacts in tap water ...

Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
How’s the eye? Any updates? I had a cornea transplant surgery a couple of weeks ago. My doctor told me yesterday it successfully got rid of the amoeba problem! I am feeling much better and light sensitivity is slowly improving. I hope to return to work in two or three weeks. My vision is still very ...

Re: Adam/God/Michael/Whathaveya
I was listening to the Mormonism Live podcast about Adam/God. It seems like Jehovah is the square peg in all forms of Mormon Doctrine. The current doctrine of Jehovah-as-preexistent-Jesus is very messy and contrived, in my opinion. Jesus seemed to think the God of the Old Testament was his father ...

Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
I went to get a second opinion and the good news and bad is that the second doctor agreed with the first and said the first doctor he’s doing everything right. So for now I will be putting three or four eyedrops in my eye every hour while I am awake. It kind of burns and I guess that’s the way you at ...

Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
This is hard to imagine. So sorry that you have to go through this and really hope it goes well. How does one get an infection of this nature anyway? Thank you for your support. I don’t know that all of this has fully sunk in yet. It is an extremely rare condition. Most get if from rinsing their c ...

Re: Should I get a Priesthood blessing?
I have not been very active on this forum lately. The last time I checked in I was probably when I was going through my divorce from my TBM wife. That divorce was actually finalized in the last week.

Re: Thought I was finally going to hear a miraculous healing story...
Brilliant move - make the husband feel important while shifting the blame for the failed priesthood blessing. I bet they use this one often. The only problem being is now the husband feels guilty because he must have had a bad thought earlier in the day that cost his wife her life. Interesting that ...

Re: Netflix doco - Murder amoung the Mormons
I just bought a copy of the June 1980 Ensign that has the Hofmann article in it. It includes the famous photo of Hofmann showing the top leaders of the church the forged Anthon transcript. This photo was featured in the Netflix documentary. I have been looking for one of these for a while. There ...

Re: Attending my Daughter's Temple Wedding?
I was in this exact situation 4 years ago this week. I went to the wedding and I’m glad I did. I acted as a witness too. My extended family didn’t know about my change of beliefs (and still don’t). My recommend expired after that and I have not renewed it. I even went through the temple with my daugh ...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?
My son-in-law just got a positive test. My wife is sick and can't taste or smell anything. I am showing symptoms now as well. We are getting tested tomorrow. The lack of taste and smell is an indication that it is COVID. Flu never gives you that symptom. I hope it is mild and you and yours recover ...
