I recently for fun composed two limericks. Can you add yours and share the fun? Oh the Mormons always have it right Which is why they always act so bright But their heads are buried in the sand Its darkness all theirs to command And this is why the’re not able to see the light For years I hoped the Mormons had it true Acknowledging all the while I never knew Then the Book of Abraha

“Christianity as a whole is declining. The US is losing 100 church's a day according to one article I read.” I too recently read that report. Finding this thread here at RFM prompted me to add a comment. 100 churches a day! Here is my guess why: USA citizens purposely have been and are being impoverished from a hundred different directions. They have lost faith, hope, jobs, homes, s

I have a report you might find interesting. I served my mission in Uruguay 1964 to 1966, and I left the church ten years ago when I learned how the BOM is a man made document. I have some cousins etc here where I live and we get together for parties once in a while. Some of them are TBM. At the last event I attended there were two missionaries present and as it happened I sat by them for a whi

This always works: Have a bucket of water on the porch near the front door. When the HT or VT knocks on the door, just simply go out on the porch, pick up the bucket and without a word soak them from top to bottom. it works equally well with a garden hose. They will NOT return.

Hello everyone. I resigned 7 years ago. Life has been better without the TSSC albatross around my neck. Stilll I have 2 questions which interest me. My absence has sparked these inquiries. 1. Does the church still promote itself as the restored church of JC, the only true church on earth? This is what I grew up with. 2.

What a wonderful story. Love is the great secret in this temporary life on earth. Love is what we receive from God every day without exception. To the degree we show love to others we receive love back, both from our acquaintances and from God. By showing unconditional love to everyone including TBMs you are doing what God does to us. Think about this for a moment. If you are critical or angry

This is your answer. Research local psychiatrists, psychologists, hypnotists until you find one who does regression therapy into past lives. That person will regress you to the event in a past life that initiates this current trauma. With that new understanding your fear of dogs will completely disappear. Dr. Brian Weiss has written several important books on the subject. Here is an Amazon link

This thread reminds me of something that happened to me during the seven years I was on the high council. In one of the early Sunday morning high council meetings being led by the SP and his counselors, the SP went into a long and very serious discussion about the chalk being used in our meeting houses. Seems the poor quality chalk would leave a residue on the board that was difficult to complete

Here is an interesting thought which I do not remember being discussed here at RFM. Christianity was created by the Piso family who were leaders in the Roman government. It is my personal belief postmo that there probably did exist a spiritually inspired man named Jesus 2100 years ago. The new testament stories about him are mainly concocted out of thin air for political purposes, which are nicel

One of your first responses was to hold on to your passport. I would make a phone call to your future mission home in Chile and they will tell you what their rule is.
