NOM

A lot of the recent changes remind me in a way of how Coke tried to rebrand itself a good many years ago. Also, how fast the New Coke was rejected. Coke went back to the old name and formula. I could only imagine what would have happened to Coke if they didn't change back. Would they be where they ...

Prediction: the new schedule will be accompanied by a new lesson schedule that abandons the 4-year rotating scripture study and replaces it with prophet worship lessons. We just had that with the Teachings of the Prophets in PH and RS the last 15 some years. I sure hope you are wrong the prophet ...

On Education: We believe in getting as much education as possible. Preferably at one of the Churches Universitys. They are ordained of God, almost as holy as a temple. Other church educational programs such as Institute, Seminary, and other similar classes are also ordained. Secular schools are run ...

The comments on the Deseret News story are so...disappointing? Definitely to be expected but disappointing all the same. Time and time again I've seen it stated that Sam had great intentions and just went about it wrong. Exactly how does one give constructive criticism or share an idea with church ...

Hello from the Seattle area

At least it isn't smoky as it was last week, nor as hot.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the dialogue. Quite often, it is thought provoking, even when being on the humorous side.

The fact the church is going this route makes me angry. I have not used pot. I do, however, have a legitimate medical reason why marijuana would be prescribed for me. But the church, in its wisdom, has decided to make the decision for me. ARGGGGG!!!!!! They are SOOO ARROGANT! ------------------- I ...

Yesterday evening, around 9 in the evening, I had to help my son jump start his car at the Safeway parking lot. I seen the missionaries out and about tracting or ending their day. What kind of organization would let 2 young guys that age wander around at that time of night ? I certainly would not ...

This being said, I did believe the church was true on some level, but I never had confirmation that the Book of Mormon was. I always thought I was the only mormon in the world who had trouble that book. If only I had the internet back then.... I am the same way. I still believe the Church is ...

I quit wearing my garments a long time ago. I have MS (multiple sclerosis) and heat bothers me. Here in Washington St. we are having, for us , a heat wave of sorts. Many days a bit over 90, a couple of weeks over 80. I cannot wear them, no matter what. I do wear the tops when I make it to church ...

To a great degree, we are all one. We were all together in whatever the Big Bang was. We were all the same singularity, then as the heavens cooled and started forming gas, atoms, molecules, the stars , galaxies, the planets, and everything else we can, and cannot see. You, I, the other readers in ...

From Advocate over in the Girls Camp thread -- As much as the church gives lip service to being authentic, we all know that it is just lip service and the culture doesn't bear it out. If you don't believe it, try bringing up something you struggle with in gospel doctrine on Sunday and see how it is ...

On all the ships I worked on, the Propellers were some distance from the stern. As, the rudder or rudders are directly behind the props. Depending on the ship and its purpose, the size of the propeller, the pitch, and other factors, it would be highly unlikely to be able to see a prop in most any ...

When I last attended in April, when it was first instituted. I was not fond of it. My opinion of it has not changed. It is hard enough to attend when you have little in common with your fellow HP. I have even less in common with the young guys now, most are engineer types, like in mechanical, etc ...

Thank you for sharing the act of bravery on Bro. Sam Young. He is a real hero. Frankly, If I was Elder Christofferson, this morning, I would be totally ashamed of myself. For not responding to Bro. Young personally. Then again, it is what you get when you a house high on the hill with a moat. A lot ...

I was on the original NOM 1.0 board a while back. Temple experiences or more truthful, lack of them were a common thread. Perhaps, it is one reason we are here. I wanted to have filet Mignon, and only got cardboard. When you say cardboard, do you mean the church in general or temple experiences in ...

Yeah I thought the same thing. I guess the one question she had was about affiliating or associating with groups that were against the church.

Is she a Democrat ? Or a Liberal?

Welcome aboard. May your journey be a safe and joyous one. I think the difference in services is partly due to the fact, most other churches, their pastors, priest, etc, get some sort of theological training along the way. Also training in how to organize and run a congregation. For me any more ...

Very good for you folks.

I bet it made the interview a lot less intimidating for your DD, having a support system in place.

Also, for the most part, what can as 12 year old girl say, that would get her in trouble in the church ?

The last time I went to the Temple was back 5 years ago ? For the sealing of my Daughter and her Husband. About the only saving grace for that was seeing how happy it made my daughter and the Sealer I have known for 35 some years. So he really personalized it for us. The first time I went, was for ...

Do you feel the New Elders Quorum is now more similar to what RS has long been? I have a hunch, it may never be what the RS is. From what ours looks like, it has the same form as did the EQ and HP groups as before. President, 2 councilors, Secretary, a few instructors. No one has been called to be ...
