my sister is pressuring me about our mother's tithing. 90 year old mom in an assisted living mentioned she wants to get her temple recommend again. Bishop tells her to start paying tithing again, but lets her off the hook about the back tithing she hasn't paid (oh so generous!) I pay all her bills out of her account. Now TBM sis is asking me if I've paid it yet. Help! I am so against doi

I often see special "missionaries" downtown Salt Lake, usually walking to Trax in the middle of the City Creek construction, so I think they are coming from the COB or somewhere around there. These are the young men who are mentally challenged, but have been called on some sort of mission. I was walking behind two of them today and it just got me thinking about whether this is a goo

I never was told outright but it seemed to be assumed. Very odd.

I think I remember someone (ETB?) telling the church membership that they couldn't be a good mormon and be a democrat. I do not intend this to turn into a political discussion, but I would like to understand why that was put out there and why most of the members just fall in line with that thinking now????

That's me. Even if I am dead, I will rejoice if my kids and their kids find their way out of this cult. Right now, they are all very entrenched. I believe part of it is because of their gay father and their mother who is living in sin with her fiance. They are shell shocked by the family dynamic that has changed drastically in the last several years. They think they have to be an example, don

Well, I have noticed that the building fronts that are starting to emerge look, well....drab. I do notice they are putting the ZCMI facade back on that building where it used to be located and at least it has ruffles and fourishes...but that is the ONLY building that does. The others look like plain office buildings. Oh well....another Christmas season with fake trees and canvase paintings mad

Well, they certainly are consolidating businesses into one building...Deseret News, Beneficial Life(what's left of it), KSL all packed together now in the Triad Center. It's been quite the mess to see them move the Deseret News out of their own building and I can tell you the employees (what's left of THEM) do NOT like it. It is utter disarray. It feels like they are really trying to cut back

Monson is in Rome ready to break ground for a temple there. Seriously. It boggles my mind that such a thing is happening there. What, do they have maybe 100 mormons there? It's just too unbelievable for me to wrap my head around.

First of all, SusieQ, I was also in the 37th ward in Wymount Terrace, but not until fall 1970. What a hoot if we had known each other! And about those RS homemaking projects....when we went to graduate school, I had a co-worker at the bank where I worked who asked me if resin grapes were a part of our religion. I was taken back and said "no", why do you ask? She said she had seen

I just saw in the SLTrib that TSCC is closing many of the distribution centers and laying off people. 1-Where will members buy garments now? Online? Older folks can't navigate the internet too well. 2-More layoffs????? Does anyone have any insight into the why of this move?

Did anyone else keep checking back to see when the board would be back up? I know I have been I can hardly wait to see what everyone has been doing the last couple of weeks. I am still getting unpacked, still engaged, still in love, and still hate TSCC. That is all....
