Despite all the posturing, the testimony, the "body of good work" at the end of the day this is still a religion based ENTIRELY on: A dude that made a living divining treasure and water with a velvet hat over his head. Received a set of plates that were inscribed in a language he could not read, no one else ever saw, and in the end the plates disappeared. On two tribes of peop

I might have mentioned this before….but I am reminded every time the "take your daughter" to work day rolls around…Several years ago, I made the mistake of hiring a TBCMDB. He has a daughter about the same age as mine, and I asked him if he wanted to bring his daughter to work with us, and then we could take them to my club for lunch. He comes back the next day and tells me he can

bs, Poly Sci....Ba History....mpa.....working towards PhD in political theory.... Struggled with the concept since liberation from the morg. Finally decided that God exists in sort of an sort of "suspended animation mode" which means he may exist somewhere at some level. Although, you have to admit that Pascal's wager make a compelling argument.

Other than is absolutely correct. You need to find out if your state is single consent. I have a friend of a friend that defended, and lost, a case where a motorcyclist mounted a go pro cam on a helmet, got busted by a cop, and recorded the whole incident without consent....crazy stupid stuff out there, which makes it right at home with the morg.

Sheesh....I never thought about it from that angle. Brilliant, I might need to work that into a conversation at some point when the subject of the LDS church comes up, and I need to say something positive.

My children are 5,7, & 10. I have been very careful not to impart on them my feelings, opinions, and observations of the mo church. At this age, they are really not quite understanding of the concepts, however, my middle son has started asking why we are Jewish, and who is Jesus, and do we go to heaven. These questions I can answer fairly easily within the Jewish dogma. However, as they prog

After converting to the Jewish religion, and my language skills, I thought Hebrew would be cake. It sucks, but learning another language once a week is a lot different at 55 than back in the day.

Fluent in French and Italian. I can converse in Japanese (where I served my 2 year LDS incarceration.) My German and Spanish are adequate for use in those countries.

I noticed the other day that our jackmo baby-sitter was wearing a crucifix on a necklace, Turns out it was a gift from a non mo...it got me thinking that we, the collective good, should assist our brethren in designing a religious icon, other than a CTR ring, because they don't have one. Nothing identifies your religion better than an icon. So my idea, is to help the church by designing an icon

I have to chime in. I found it very interesting that the outdoor advertising for city creek contained women with dresses on that could never be worn by a TBM.

This is always a head scratched to people when discussion of the Mormon church comes up. I like to point out, how many LDS women do you know that have professional degrees. I have never met a female Mormon lawyer or dr in the 49 years I have lived in Idaho. Now why do you suppose that occurs?

In Idaho Falls, a Bishop in the Ammon ward admitted to an affair with a member who was seeking counseling because her husband was having an affair with one of his employees. I worked for the guy, and it was his last straw and he left the church over it. He hired exclusively TBM for his business, and we were pretty shocked when the whole thing became public.

I decided that on my mission that the garments were just about the dumbest thing since, well the first revelation. I had a close never mo friend of mine mail me a dozen Haines undershirts. Then I just switched the tops out, and then just boxer shirts, but taped my thighs to give my the brotherhood look. What a stupid, idiotic idea.

Checked into a spring hill suites tonight in Pasadena. Kids running around the room, and I notice one of them has that familiar Blue Book that Mr. Porn and Booze purveyor JW Marriott likes to include with the Gideon Bible. Felt it was my duty to all those whom follow me, to inscribe the title page with a few helpful hints regarding the prose they are about to read. I hit the main topics, God on

The rumors of the love interest have been persisting for years. Various news reports are really hitting the Mormon, No Drinking, issue pretty hard. But he has 4 years to repent his ways. Might even end up getting him more nonmo votes, because he shows he is one of us drinkers...

I converted to Judaism after leaving the morg, so basically it is a day off for us, we do exchange some presents, but try very hard to take the religious aspect of Christmas out of the day....which now that i think about it is not that hard. We also eat Chinese food, and watch James Bond discs..

I am sort of in awe over the trousers in Church topic. In awe that we even have to have the discussion in the first place. it is 2012, not 1812, and we care what women wear to church? The mormon church is like the Republican party, eventually, both will run out of angry white men, and either adapt, or become irrelevant.
