Was the shooter raised in the mormon church? The current mayor of Highland Park said she was his cub scout den mother when he was a little kid. Unless she is/was also a mormon, it seems to me that he was in a non-LDS troop. The family was/is highly dysfunctional, with lots of arguments between the parents,even in front of customers at the father's deli and police were called to the home on d

When did the women get to stop veiling their faces? This was the worst part of the whole she-bang for me. I almost fainted in the prayer circle once because of the heat from that stupid veil. I'd like to know what "revelation" or justification was made for making this go away!

I know this BB is pretty small, poster number-wise. It looks like that other exmo board has a huge following. Questioning mormons can find either one of these very easily as well as all the other resources out there. I believe that Eric K is the one who started the on-line exmo movement on a wide scale, and for that, I thank him!

I had to have a mild sedative for the claustrophobia I get in the MRI tube. Not all the way out but calmed me down. I also kept my eyes tightly closed through the whole procedure. Good luck!

I mailed a birthday present to a family member on 6/21 with the expectation that 4 days would be plenty of time to get it the 34 miles from south Salt Lake County to Provo, UT. Tracking it each day was an exercise in futility. Day after day all I got was that the shipping label had been created and was awaiting arrival at the USPS facility. Finally, this morning, it had arrived at the facilit

I have driven by the construction going on just off I-215 about 4700 S and wondered for months what was being built there. Today I noodled around and realized it is the Taylorsville, UT temple! OMG, it is right there by the freeway near business areas. If any cars or trucks wreck there and go over the barrier, they will almost certainly crash into a sealing room.

I am sure he didn't. The Black Menaces group got started after this interaction with Wilcox. This group has been going around campus doing interviews with students and posting on Tik Tok.

I know the mormon church split with the Boy Scouts. I got a flyer a couple of years ago about the flags planted in yards on holidays. The local ward still wanted me to donate to the "young men's program" to keep doing that. I never responded. At least 12-15 houses on my block used to have a flag in the yard on Memorial Day.

This deserves a new thread. In today's SL Tribune print edition (front page), is an in-depth article about a new group of black students at BYU called The Black Menaces. It all started after Brad Wilcox's talk back on February 6, 2022. Some in the group who tried to reach out to Wilcox (unsuccessfully), decided to post a reaction instead. That first video got 5000 likes when it was posted. Then

Back in my school years (60's) we were strongly discouraged from wearing crosses. I never owned any cross jewelry. Today, a BYU player (Allgeier) got drafted into the NFL and when he was interviewed his cross was big and prominent. I don't know if he is a member but he was on the football team. It was just an observation and I wondered if there would be any scolding from his minders.

I first posted about this just days before Russia invaded Ukraine. Nothing has been reported on any proposed meeting with these students and since the semester is now finished, I doubt there will be any meeting with them. Seems it has gone down the memory hole. Brad and LDS.inc are probably very relieved.

Had a conversation with two BYU fans who know a lot more about this new transfer portal rule. They don't feel like there is any big blow up about all those players transferring to other schools. Now that players can transfer without losing a year of eligibility, lots of players everywhere are trying to find the best situation for themselves.

Her hair is longer and quite grey. Obviously the State of Idaho would not let her get it bleached while she was getting her mental competency restored. Her hearing was in the same courthouse as Chad Daybell's earlier in the day. I'm sure they didn't see each other. Pity JJ's grandparents were there and spoke to the media briefly.

The aspect of the essential oils business that disappoints me in addition to the idea presented of relief and healing is the attitude that "we" are doing it wrong.
