NOM

Hi all. Thanks for being here and listening to the drivel so I don’t have to. Just the sound of GA voices is cringe worthy in my ears. So we sit here in stony silence at my house, each with our own headphones. For 10 hours this weekend. :evil: I can’t even. I just needed to drop by where I knew som ...

This sounds like a recycled talk.

Hi guys! Long time no see. Tired of hanging out at home? Why are we here watching conference anyway?

Is this worse than usual? I haven’t watched for probably 5 years.

Yeah, men are NOT THE PH!

Thanks for all the comments. The answer came to me in the middle of the night, as good ideas often do. ;) I do remember the GBH interview and the “we don’t know much about this or that, we don’t teach it anymore (that might have been the becoming gods? question). But the one I was specifically think ...

I realized that the values of the top leadership of the church don’t align with mine.

You have always told us not to expect you to be perfect, you have made lots of mistakes in the past, so I'm going to follow your advice about not expecting perfection and just assume that you are wrong in this case too."

Love it!🥰

Thanks!! It’s nice to be remembered.

Hi guys. I’m really trying to put Mormonism in the rear-view mirror, but about twice a year (conveniently) I check back in here to get the conference overview. I so appreciate the effort y’all put in on this. Sounds excruciating to me. I heard that DHO made a comment that mocked a woman who had con ...

Darn! I was off line for a few weeks and missed the Emu! Sure glad you checked in Zadok.

I like the idea that we are somehow connected to the people we love or are close to. I have had ideas or impressions come into my mind and sometimes they seem timely. Yet, more often when I have had impressions to call someone or do something (like the apocryphal story of dropping off a gallon of ...

Yes, that conference talk was a tough one. I wonder if Nelson has a personal belief in when the Second Coming is expected to happen. "Time is running out" would tend to support that, but I'll bet he still would not expect it to happen within his life. But that still leaves the rest of us in mixed ...

I’m sorry for your pain fluff. I had many a tearful, angry, anxious or irate afternoon after attending church. On a few occasions I walked out In the middle of the service even.

Yes, thanks to the pirate as well. It also takes people to post to keep the board running, so don’t underestimate your contribution.

Thanks Red. And thanks for keeping this forum going.

I just noticed I am due for my 100th post, so I’m putting this here to make it memorable. That is after being a NOM for 13(?) years or so and probably 2000+ previous posts on the old boards. I am at such a peaceful place in my faith journey right now. Still attending church weekly and have a simple c ...

The two-faced-ness of this sort of thing just irks me.
“This is our new policy/doctrine/etc.”
Hail, revelation!
“No it’s not anymore”
Hail, revelation!

Watching TBMs fall all over themselves upholding the brethren without ever acknowledging the process is flawed.

Somebody must have read Jana Reiss’s book. It’s time to save the Millenial generation! So, will they retroactively reverse the excommunications done due to marriage, some even done in the past month? Will they encourage families to re-engage with their gay children? Can they come for dinner or stay o ...

Welcome back beachinmama. It sure is good to see you around again. About life coaching - in some circles, yes, it is a thing. Some well known podcasters and psychologists/therapists are setting up coaching practices to help the disaffected Mormon crowd. I don’t know how widespread it is beyond Utah a ...

I have similar questions about the new RS format. So much so, that I got a sub for my other calling and am planning to attend the first meeting in January, on purpose, just to see what happens exactly. I haven’t been to SS or RS in the last 8 years, so that should surprise a lot of people. I’ll ret ...

My guess is this is a Shakespeare meeting...you know... MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING If something amazing happens you will find out about it. The reality is that it is probably a 'special meeting' to create a buzz and drive up attendance because if they said that it was a meeting with a general authority ...
