Here in Idaho there is a fight over the CBD oil. One of the biggest backers in a right wing organization called the "Idaho Freedom Foundation." It has heavy ties to mormonism. There has been a back and forth on facebook about the issue where mormons that are pushing this group to support the issue are calling out legislator mormons for the "no" votes......

Dropped this before.....but still funny if you grew up around the Morg... Catholic priest and mormon bishop walking down a road. They spy a young boy tied over a fence naked. Priest says...lets go over and screw that boy....Mormon bishop looks puzzled and says "out of what?"

Out in the garage cleaning up, and have the TV on to some random channel that starts a mini series on the entire Arias-Alexander debacle. Glossing over the sexual relationship aspect of the relationship, seems to be the case now. Apparently, it is OK in mormondom for the male to have sexual intercourse in his search for the perfect wife, but not the female. You can apparently reclaim the

I think you might be able to trace the rift back to this little word smithing... "And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the

mentioned this before, but my moment to speak up was in high school. The supreme court had just handed down a opinion that eliminated school credit for seminary. In my 85% + LDS school they solved the problem by signing up all the kids to be teacher aids, and then let them go to seminary. I should have spoken up on how grossly unfair and dishonest this was...

Lies my mission president told me... It is not spiritually healthy to delve into the history of the church. It is Satan himself, that expressing himself with your doubts of the profit Joe Smith. You have more power in your pinky finger than the Pope has in his whole body regarding God. Only through scriptures and prayer can you gain faith in God. The blessings you will be rewarded

Im long past the point where the two years matters on a resume. But when I was in the job market, 25 years ago, I never put it down. I never got asked about it.

I have to meet with a lot of TBM's in my job. I try very hard to schedule all of my meetings with them at Starbucks. i fein innocence the they balk at the idea. Most will meet, but like to point out that they don't drink coffee. I always ask them, so tell me, what was section 89 all about anyway. When I was on my mission, I could not for the life of me figure out how we could drink Coke, and

"Years ago the owner of a popular restaurant in Utah was accused, by a young female employee, of groping her at work. The charges were later dropped (suggesting the owner’s innocence) but most people still thought of him as the guy who groped his employee. When critics charge Joseph Smith with sexual licentiousness in his plural marriages, it’s difficult to undo the mind’s-image once t

This post hit me. I tossed my journal whilst still on my mission. Teaching the discussions to a Prospect on a US base in Japan. I was a TBM and by G-d, my testimony was unassailable. Then I was asked how I reconciled my beliefs when in the first vision, Joe told at least 8 different versions, none of them the same. I mean, if G-d appeared to me with his son in a sacred grove, I'd think I might

I watched this all the time growing up. 6 of us graduated from high school with 4.0's. 4 were LDS. 2 of us were not. Guess who got the two speech spots at graduation. The prayers before every game ended with 'in the name of Jesus Christ." The secret little groups that kept non Mormons from bein in choirs, bands, and student goverments. Girls who did not date LDS boys. Friends would all the

A particularly effective method for buttressing your argument is to bear your testimony. I too got caught up in the whole worried affair tonight reading about this young mans journey to finding truth. It is both freshing and sad to go through this affair. The depressing part of this is the SP's refusal to even try and help the young man understand. He never even attempted to try and answer o

It's the whole damn issue we have been fighting for since we found out this "Church" is so full of twisted lies, deceit, and Masonic ripoff. No evidence? No problem, just have faith. Bald face lies? No issue, just believe with your burning heart. Having doubts? Satan at work. None of this shit makes sense? Study hard. JS married multiple wives, banged 14 year olds? Just have a co

Tevai is correct, but the practices are different depending on the congregation. In my case, when I married a cradle Jew, I made a commitment to raise my children in a Jewish environment. Later, some life experiences occurred in which I became spiritually involved in the Torah (the Jewish Bible.) I took the introduction classes for a year, and then indicated to the Rabbi I wished to convert. He

Life insurance for a private pilot is expensive, and limited coverage. Idaho law does not compel you to carry aviation liability insurance. As a pilot myself, I carry a million 'Smooth" per seat in my plane, which is pretty standard. So if the pilot had liability insurance, there might be some insurance for the family of the parents who were not pilots. Presumably, this family could also sue

The pilot earned his rating last fall. The aircraft was a 1958 Cessna 182. Four adults, full fuel, flying in the mountains of Idaho. My TBM friends have been posting on FB about a fund for the children. Sad.
