I haven’t posted in a long time. But I’ve been checking in to this site quite often. I feel like I know you all. Anyway, When graey posted this thread the other day it really got to me. I was a Bishop years ago. I was not sure I could do it again. However after reading through this I am impressed wit ...

This is a great place with some fun people. I love the humor. I’m mostly a lurker. However, when I read your post it brought me back to when I started questioning things. I feel for anyone going through this whole transition thing. The folks on here know what you are going through. It’s seems no one ...

I questioned my own integrity for at least 5years , I finally decided that I didnt need to have integrity at all !!! I am in the church but I am a huge Liar !!!!! I dont believe a word of it but I am there for my family who I love more than I hate the church. I have no calling right now and enjoy ...

I have definitely come to recognize the value of religion for many people. It doesn't work so well for those who lack or lose the ability to suspend disbelief, to take orders from people who claim man-behind-the-curtain authority, and for those who just can't believe in a personal God. But 90-plus ...

Hey everyone, It’s been ages (years I’m sure) since I posted but today I had an experience that has pulled me out of lurker status... I’m the financial clerk and just met with the bishop to do tithing and cut a few checks. He mentioned that since all this pandemic stuff has started he’s seeing an up ...

Wonder how the 'church' is doing with its stock portfolio since the market is down 35%? Internally they're talking about what a bad business decision it would be to dip into this money for charitable use in a depressed market, even though they legally claim it as a charity. Better wait until hard ...

Is everyone carrying emergency bottles of consecrated olive oil so that you can give yourself and your loved ones a quick dab of protection? Feel free to add in some cinnamon oil for a nice holiday smell. Might as well bless some clove oil for those having toothaches. All kidding aside, what a ...

I like how my mormon friends keep saying “he did say it would be a conference to remember!” Like this is the reason for that. If it were and he had previous knowledge of this, he’d be a real jerk for not telling people to be prepared or alerting authorities 😂🤷‍♀️ I’m too am so tired of hearing “he d ...

Welcome! Based on your profile name and picture I would guess you are in your 40’s? That movie made an impression on most teenagers in the 80’s. I just turned 54. Back in the day Chevy Chase was my favorite actor. Christmas Vacations and Fletch movies were the best. There were some gems like Spies L ...

I’m new here. This whole thread has been therapeutic. I use to think all the people leaving the church were a bunch of wackos. Haha, now I’m one of them. Seriously, what well thought out postings here. I can relate so well to everything that has been said. Thanks for your time and effort in these pos ...

Something has to break internally for them to want to know, and then it's game on. And that is the moment that I find so fascinating. Some people have a very slow, gradual burn, but many of us can remember the exact moment when the rope stretched so tight it finally snapped and we understood that ...

Moon River! Welcome Fletch! I've been out for a couple of years but I remember well the pain I went through to get here. I still have family and friends that are TBM and some that are in transition. This is the best site on the web for good people trying to make sense of it all and work their way ...

Loved those Fletch movies. Glad my new name (haha) got some comments. We quote Fletch often around our house! Now, you just need to find a good avatar! How's this? :lol: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2a/b3/44/2ab344e57663948a7da47c14ba45d777.jpg AllieOop....I got my new avatar. I love it. I’ve b ...

Thanks for the nice welcome and great advise. Great humor around here too, which I like. I think I’ll be sticking around. Loved those Fletch movies. Glad my new name (haha) got some comments.

This is my first post. I’ve been reading this site for about a month. Everyone seems so nice. There are some really nice, supportive people here. Been a member my whole life. But, I’m sensing some things just aren’t right. And there isn’t anyone in my circle that I can talk to about it. My whole worl ...
