DH is nevermo and christian, but not very into organized religion. I was just starting my journey out when we started dating, so he's been with me for all that fun, but now that I've landed in the agnostic (leaning towards atheist) camp, I realized I was kind of afraid to tell him. We finally had a pretty good conversation a month or so ago where I just came out and confessed that because of

I had to stop reading this 4 separate times and go back to doing boring and very non-entertaining things because people kept looking at me funny for bursting into giggles. Can you upload this as a book review on amazon?

As usual, the comments include a good mormon following everyone around and trying to say they are just lying or don't know what they experienced...

This sounds like a much better life choice than the one my 18 (almost 19) yr old cousin made to get out of a mission. He's getting married next week (and from the picture, I think she may be 14...)

This is so sad. Here she has her family around her, and all she can do is mourn that she won't have them in the afterlife.

"the other half are basic truths that she somehow managed to avoid learning, for 30 years, then suddenly discovered and has who-knows-what problem with." I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they 'somehow avoided learning' these things because the church decided they were not 'faith promoting' and has been letting them slip through the cracks. After I was out I was amazed at

Wow. The original post was so beautiful. I wish I had stopped reading before I got to the poster that seems proud of themselves for shunning a child that has 'chosen a different "path" in life and it is not the one I raised her to follow' What love...

But right now the church is making a big push to have non-members do exactly that, judge them by their people.

Yeah, I was disappointed with most of their statements about just not liking it (and especially Katheryn H's 'I like to sin') Chelsea was the only one who speaks out about the bad.

Not to pile on (ok, maybe to pile on a bit) A TBM coworker just proudly showed off a sample of the shiny new floor vent covers that will be put in the SL temple. $1600 a piece. A nonmo coworker commented that it was sure a lot of money for that, and another one piped up with "imagine how much they have to spend with 10% of everyone's money"

I definitely don't remember it ever being a choice, never once did the words 'yes I want to be baptised' leave my mouth. It's just what you did when you turned 8.

I had been married (and changed my name) and moved 3 times since the last time I'd attended. We were living in my in-law's house for a year (while they were in another state for FILs job) when DH came down to inform me that the RS ladies had just dropped off cookies and a newsletter. (He got a giant kiss for telling them I wasn't home) I was later lamenting to my exmo aunt that they tracke

I am kind of worried that this has happened with my younger sister. She is very accepting and open to all sorts of people. She also doesn't enjoy her singles ward and thinks all her friends that got married right out of HS and are working on having a bunch of kids while living in their in-laws basement are nuts. She is a lot like I was at that age and I have such hope for her. But she is

Something hit me this morning while I was getting ready for work. I had taken a benedryl to combat whatever fun new thing is in the air and was deciding what kind of coffee I was going to toss in the keurig when I went downstairs.

I know the majority of the interior designers in my office went to USU and have good things to say about it. It wouldn't include picking up and moving across the country, but it might be a bit far for a job in SLC.

I agree. I was also glad to read that she didn't have to go as far as killing either of them because of her husband's stupidity. Even though she would have been genuinely afraid for her life and justified, I can't imagine how messed up she'd be knowing afterwards that she had killed someone who just thought they were acting out a fantasy...

That is funny. I was in Seattle a few weeks ago for work. We went to WSU to tour a couple of the buildings. While we were walking through the big plaza we saw a set of missionaries. I was halfway hoping they would come say something to me so I could ask them about some of the things that they've probably never been taught, but they didn't.
