Bona Dea you are the meanest person on this board and the biggest coward. You said that i write like I am only 14 years old, and then "the gospels were written in the first century a.d." then you RAN before my reply. Where can I read the first century gospels, other than a FRAGMENT! Attack, attack, attack, but you don't stick. BTW all the references to Bart Ehrman (or whoever) is

I like scouts, and helped with it a lot, same as you Ron. It made a lot more sense than most church bs, for the people who like it anyway, it has a purpose. I do also believe freedom of association allows scouts to preclude gay volunteers, but I for one believe they are wrong, that gay men would be bad leaders. Just one thing I would change. To me, being gay and being a predator are very serio

We wanted to do something, I think. We, you me, all of us wanted a mind blowing ride. People back home said "you'll freak out, it'll seem very real." Me: "whatever, just start the thing." Closing the lap bar, " you could be deaf or blind, or get mangled by a truck..." Me: "just go!" "There are virus, and wars, and Kolibians" &quo

What I like best about Leah is that she is kind of shy, soft spoken, you have to sort of read between the lines (just kidding). Hey Leah, you are exactly right, but oh my heck! =D

To guynoirprivateye I love the life after life stories. Sites and styles abound, many are surprising to me, and it's one of my addictions to read them, can't seem to resist. Maybe it's the Kolobian background but I believe them more than profits (prophets), and it fits my belief that we continue somehow.

No need to rush, read or talk with your wife, you need to progress together. Out now about thirty, and married over 20, but we still feel like leaving is a process. My final straw was the Temple, you probably didn't slash at your own throat and bowels, which put me in a club like many prison gangs, the most violent and satanic prison gangs. Next to that, I suppose it's reading the official

AIC was a missionary, she taught lots, but she is saying she wasn't aware of this teaching. In other words, it's obscure, and or hidden.

Cheryl is right. You have a right to the peaceful enjoyment of your life, unharrassed by power posers, who want a lot more than you back in the cult. You must not acknowledge any authority from him, for one thing, you'd be enabling a sick person, so for his sake as well as your own, not F you, just "I'm busy."

In choosing a religion I feel like I have been through hell, and god hasn't helped me, at all. Reminds me of Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. He has been captured, tortured, escaped, gunfights his way out of a bar, kills people hand to hand and chases a car in Los Angeles barefoot. Rescues Danny Glover and his daughter in a bloody shootout, and basically about kills himself doing all this. The

He was so funny, this is from memory, but pretty much it goes this way. JGolden is touring a distinguished visitor around Salt Lake and at every building the men ask how long it took the mormons to build the different buildings, and always replies that where he is from they could build them faster. When they arrive at the temple and they ask how long it took to build the Salt Lake Temple. J

The temple was my last straw, but after that I was COMPLETELY open to other shocks about my former life, even while still attending church for about a year longer. After the temple it was a friend telling me JS was a mason, then the polygamy. Masonry I'd never heard of, but Bro Law in seminary taught definitely that JS revealed polygamy only, did not do it himself. He also taught us that

Has potential, one life stand, if you connote it as your life and not your marriage. Most Kolobians get a look of horror at the mere suggestion that this is all there is. I have seen a woman literally stomp her foot and say "I know this life is just a trial." Believing this is all I've got makes me try harder to make it good, tonight for instance, is fish tacos! =D
