While I agree with your ideas around alcohol and mushrooms, I’m also a believer that some people just make stuff up.
I’ve heard a few whoppers told over the pulpit over the years as well as family stories. Some are just plain made up.

Re: Happy New Year!
I always imagined the jaredite submarine excursion to be comparable to a deacons quorum scout trip with a bunch of 12 year olds. They pack 5lbs of beef jerky, 3 lbs of sugary treats, 6 gallons of Gatorade, an old compass and a map and set off on their weekend getaway. They traverse 4 miles and then ...

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all of you apostates! Can you believe this place has continued since 2016? Thanks Thayne for passing the baton. How about we plan a NOM reunion for 2025? A place we can all get together and finally meet in person? SLC in late spring early summer? We can advertise on a billboard ...

Re: Officially declared non tithe payer and proud of it
Congrats! It really does get easier to participate at your own pace. It seems this year there was extra efforts made to reach out and get people in to declare their status. Normally we just don’t go and let whatever the bishop reports suffice. We simply don’t care why they report on our behalf. Yet t ...

Re: what's happening with the new Intro to the BOM?
I heard or read it was a new introduction in a BoM app that was designed for investigators of the church. Not necessarily pushed down into scripture to replace the existing one that has been changed numerous times already. So nothing to see here folks…. Continued revelation or policy change. ...

Lavina Fielding Anderson has been re-baptized!
Apparently a year after her death and approved by the 1st Presidency! The kicker….. They didn’t let her family do it. According to the Salt Lake Tribune article… some else else did the proxy ordinance. All the while she attended church for 30 years up until the pandemic and her declining health. Anot ...

Re: What is the most harmful lie the Church has perpetrated?
That a layer of cheap polyester with Masonic symbols can act as a protection against harm, the influences of Satan, and represent a commitment to Jesus.

Re: Changes in garments
This whole thing is an experiment in crazy thinking. Here’s a few thoughts. Hot climates, starting with Africa. Isn’t it weird dark skinned African members have to be clothed in white? Seems an odd contrast. Who decided what climates are considered hot? How does reducing the shoulder length 2” be ...

You quietly hooked up the double wide and moved us to a new trailer park without feeling a thing. Anyone know if our NOM ward records moved and they’re reading is in on Sunday?

Re: This garment underwear crack down is WEIRD!
Please don’t misunderstand. As you reach out for divine guidance, the Spirit will not inspire you to do less than follow the instruction received in the temple and the prophetic counsel shared by the First Presidency in their recent statement.

Hi Bishop! Thanks for the post. I agree with the church (and hagoth) but wonder if they even see the irony. Sexual abuse coercion = bad Religious coercion = good It’s a strange place to be when you can constantly see the church yak out of both sides of its mouth at once. PS. I need to confess s ...

I can’t wrap my head around why anyone would accept BY as a polygamist, assume the church was in apostasy, and yet continue to stay in it. Yup. Whether polygamy started with the first CEO, or his successor, it's still in their canonized scripture, it's still practiced today, and still a requirement ...
