That was amazing.

Here's the problem and a recommended solution. Ready for this? Problem: Your eyes have been opened, you have awaken from the stupor of Mormonism, and you now see it for what it really is. The problem with "this problem" is that it awakens your mind to the stupidity of things like religious ...

I just came here to rant. Please enjoy or ignore as it suits you. Thanks for being here guys. I noticed the GC gushing on Facebook and man did it ever depress me. "If you do what's right, you need not fear." [rant] That passive aggressive fear-tactic garbage makes me so mad. Like all-caps-mad. Like ...

Welcome to NOM! I'm obviously fairly new as well. I've found that this is such a welcoming, uplifting space.

Okay, in the short time since I posted my reply I've been agonizing over what feelings I may have expressed about divorce. I know that my language did certainly seem to endorse it. I'm not for divorce. I do not ever want to consider that path for myself, and I'm not suggesting anyone else should ...

Honestly, I find the idea of attending to 'support' the spouse ridiculous. If you decided you wanted to be Catholic would you then expect her to go to mass with you? I can't say I agree with this. I think that every relationship is different, and some spouses will really feel the need for support ...

I don't want to smash worldviews, but I also feel if others can bear testimony, why can't I? I think because your testimony threatens to destroy their world and identity. I want to say : You have some awesome parents!! That's so cool! I've been thinking a lot about the BOM problem. Holland really ...

Hm. I have to say: This advice is not at all what I expected, which is great. What good is advice that I can predict? I can just think of those things on my own. This would be quite a shift in character for me to just give non-answers and change topics. I'll definitely weigh what you guys have said ...

Never take the bait to enter a religious conversation no matter juicy a softball they throw at you. Your unwillingness to engage will eventually become a force field of social discomfort that will automatically steer all conversations to simple things. I endured an entire family reunion under the ...

The Church must have people or software watching the Internet to see how its trademarks and names are being used. I thought that they had lost the right to trademark the word Mormon. Did they? http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27708734 I don't know the answer to that, but your post brings ...

I'll be disappointed if we don't also get a letter. However, it might end up with Hagoth because he registered the domain name. If so, I'll make sure you get a copy that's suitable for framing. Or throwing darts at, or whatever. That's what I was thinking. There's a play named after a copyrighted ...

Good Day All, My little sister is wonderful and I love her to death. She's TBM and married to an absolute blockhead. BIL sent me one of those "I read this and thought of you..." messages recently. His tone and choice of words was unbelievable. I knew this guy sniffed his own farts but I didn't ...

We had a nuanced lesson on the history of tithing and implementation policies in church history. It was silent in there, it i think was news to everyone but me and the teacher. Then a former bishop jumped in and started arguing, and the teacher said, "hold up, you're jumping ahead to 1970." And ...

Standing for Something More: The Excommunication of Lyndon Lamborn (by the titled author) is a great read. The author spent time researching mind control organizations and spiritual experiences. The author's story is very interesting and well-written. Someone (either here or on r/exmormon ...

Thank you Captain for the work you do keep things real in here.
Thank you RR for the best use of a facsimile I have ever seen.
I'll probably just continue PMing people.

My initial reaction (and I've been wondering this myself) is that this impression is mostly due to our new circles. I know that as a member I was entirely oblivious to any "bad news" about the church, and I've only been out for a year. I doubt that things have changed that much in that short time ...

Thank God

Hey Guys, So I haven't been here long, obviously, but I love this space and I feel like it's a much better place for those transitioning than the more angry exmormon subreddit. So I've been PMing people, inviting them to come over to NOM.net. I guess I was expecting at least one person to come check ...

Wow, this is really cool! I can't believe what they can do now! The argument won't be that this is THE book of mormon people, it will merely give them ammunition to say "see there's hidden stuff that we didn't find before!!" and "ramparts and fortresses". To me, this is actually a fair argument ...

The church is far from any imminent collapse, but presumably they're concerned about the decline in numbers. If they're headed towards 170k, they'd end up with a 1.1% growth rate. Still growing, but definitely slowing. A few more years of that and they'd end up in negative growth, though they ...
