You see,the reason why you left the church was so that you could look at porn without feeling guilt. If you didn't have a problem with looking at sexy, naked women with come hither looks enticing you with their glossy pages of evil, you would have remained valiant to the covenants you made at baptism.

So they were holding a Slow and Testimony meeting today. I came home early because I am not feeling well. Which is actually true, I am not 'faking' it to get out of church. They had a baby blessing and I was listening to the words about how said baby will grow up and be a strong member and get married in the temple, etc. etc., and it occurred to me that many on this board have had the same thi

I thought that it would be kind of funny/silly to play a game. 1. List a popular character from cartoons, comic books, or fiction, and then decide if they are Mormon, Liberal Mormon, TBM Mormon, or Ex-Mormon, and then explain you reasoning why. I will start.

I saw it in this mornings Tacoma Tribune. Seeing the Utah connection caught my eye, and my first thought was... why does the church even bother preaching the anti pornography thing at all, since none of the active members even listen. I think they make it so evil, it becomes overwhelmingly enticing to them.

I as a membership clerk in the ward was asked to call up ward members to collect email addresses. I asked what the purpose of them was in case someone asked. "Oh just so the Church has them as part of the membership records." I was told. "Well, just as long as they aren't planning to use it for SPAM or such." Knowing how things work, I took my membership directory and

The more I look into the history of Christianity and other religions, the more I am beginning to think that all of these religions and teachings are man made and come down to no more than 'imaginary friends' for adults.

How many failed media campaigns will the church do until they burn through their money?

I just finished reading a compilation of 'The Buddhist Scriptures' earlier today. Talking about the 4 Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path.
