I don't think you can do "what if's" My wife does them all the time and they are just silly. "What if god came to you and said to have sex with a horse and if you do you will be saved. Would you do it?" I don't scare where a team of scholars are from, they aren't going to find anything. Also if it was a team from BYU, who said they found something, I would have a h

I know that my wife has a TBM friend who is divorced. And apparently all the divorced TBM men are sexing her up like crazy. She also had another TBM friend who got prego by a tbm guy and they got married. So yeah....it happens for sure.

I know that some women look at porn and enjoy it. But sadly my DW is not one of those. She has told me time after time how she can't stand men. How men are just disgusting creatures because they look at women. And how visual does nothing for her.

Very well stated. I am in the same boat with the way my wife looks to these "great" men. I have heard time and again how I wasn't doing things the "right" way when I was a believer. I have never been Mormon enough for her. So while I understand that you are making a point. I think in all honestly that some of these men and women do treat these church leaders like the

I agree with your SP sadly. My DW when looking at my reasons that led me out said about the rock in a hat "This sounds made up." Well, now that the truth is out, its all ok. Because she knows it's true. So her earlier thought of it sounding made up doesn't matter.

Very TBM. I had no doubts, I had no shelf to speak of to be honest. I wasn't always the best Mormon. I like tattoo's and had one. But I just thought of myself as "not the best Mormon." But I KNEW it was true. And nothing would ever change that. Or so I thought, when I some how stumbled onto Joe and his Magic rock in a hat. And a almost 15 yr old bride, and other men's wives.

My personal opinion is no, it does not. What does it give to youth? Lies, guilt, separation from "the real world." It teaches them to hang out with their own kind. It's nothing but going over and over the same thing so it becomes thought. Also in the church they don't teach you how to use your own brain, to think through things. You are suppose to just shut up and color. And lets s

And I have also heard a lot of this stuff in Institute. None of this has been hidden." I KNEW this would happen. Its the old "we already

I got mine and was masturbating at the time. I NEVER once admitted to masturbating because I was so ashamed of myself.

All I stated was they can't not keep me as a member. Once I resigned I am no longer a member. I don't care what games they play with in their church. No longer being a member does in fact mean they can't take any disciplinary actions against me. Why? Because I am no longer a member of their church.

I had a conversation with my wife the other day about baptism at the age of 8. Saying they are too young to make such a choice. She shot back with 'Your older son felt the spirit at the age of 5!

Right, per the LDS church that is their thing. But not per US law. They can't keep me from resigning. I have proof that they got my letter. Good enough for me. Because let's be honest, who thinks they really remove anyone's names? Nah, they just like a little button (Name removed) and keep your name. It help's the church to keep growing.

So I know I have heard and read the following: "..under US law, a church member can rescind their membership in a church simply by writing a letter to the church and documenting that the letter has been received. If a church then continues to publicly (at church meetings, at church events, etc) discuss the former member, that person can sue the church. The United States, unlike other coun
