This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

Are you taking the piss, or is this real? Is it actually called PISS?

They probably order them differently to avoid the acronym, but yeah, those are the four things.

Which is weird. In recent years I could have sworn that the church was against at least two of those.

It's possible they were told to get that close, so it would look good. Or maybe he thought it would look better.
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.

It seems like the wives are more visible/vocal since Nelson became president.

Thanks for the play by play. I like the fact that they were short but descriptive.


Also, I had no idea this was even happening. (If I did at one point, it slipped out of my head permanently.)

Which wives? The 1st wives, or the 2nd wives?

Think he's having revelations via Sister Nelson?

FWIW, my wife likes this change, without of course disliking the old way.

Physical justifies the church basketball culture prominent amongst the young men. Not to appear sexist, physical supports the boob job capital of the world for the “I’m FINALLY done having kids at age 45” lady members of the church.

Intellectual, we all know where that leads if your considering critical thinking. However, the church is full of intellectuals that have never had a critical thought towards the church or their testimony.

I'm on the fence about this . . . but, possibly so.
