Hmmm...after I read this thread I had a fleeting memory...something about an Ensign article on her art. Had to have been over 15 years ago. Why do I remember this stupid stuff.

Just keep everyone spinning in circles and holding to the rod and then all is well, all is well.

Testicle wins it for me!!

I'm going to have to bring along my hat and my seerstone to these places. I'm going to need some revelation to really sort it all out ;o)

That is just eccentric and plain weird. Someone was sampling the psychedelics methinks. That place goes on the list!!

That is a great idea for a book! I could leave it front and center on the COFFEE table when the TBM parents visit. Could you imagine? Facial color would be nonexistent and excuses would be made to vacate the premises. Hilarious. Thanks!!

I've been to Sacred Grove, Susquehanna River, John Johnson Home and Carthage Jail. Never to Temple Lot or Haun's Mill. More places to consider. I'll have to look into those and think up some truthful commentary to go along with my pics. Thanks.

LOL...probably.
Forum: Recovery Board

Yes...it's like the dark side, yin and yang and all of that gobbledygook. I just think it would be great fun and I could be all kinds of disrespectful - to a limit of course and look at these places with opened eyes instead of with glittery blinders on. Thanks for the suggestions and the link...I'll check it out.
Forum: Recovery Board

Great suggestions. Some I have heard of and some I haven't. Thanks!

That's really taxing my brain for memories from seminary. I'll have to look that one up.
Forum: Recovery Board

LOL! Now you're putting all kinds of bad thoughts in my head. All that time wasted at some of the sites and I just sat there in stunned awe at the magnificence of it all. Perfectly wasted opportunities down the drain.

What's Gilgal Gardens? Not sure I have heard of that one?

Yes...here we are in 2016 and Adam ondi Ahman hasn't happened. I hope I don't get struck down by lightening for collecting souvenirs....or maybe disemboweled even.

Oh yes, one of the things I have retained from Mormonism is my weirdness! I just moved from NE Ohio about a year ago and had forgotten that the places you mentioned existed in Mormon history. I lived close to the John Johnson Farm, actually attended girls camp there and of course, Kirtland and the Whitney store. Now I will have to make a list and dig around in the real historical facts for "

Great videos, I want a sip of what you're drinkin or maybe a few swigs. Phew, almost had a Blair Witch Project seizure! All kidding aside, they gave me a great perspective of what to expect both from the sites and your commentary. And I think it's great that you went on Pioneer Day. Thanks for posting!
Forum: Recovery Board

LOL. Nice.

Oh...I realize there might not be much at any of these places, even just the town placard will fill the bill. Hmmm...just thought I could get a photo at each one of the gravesites of Joseph Smith's teen brides. I just feel like a photo journey will help in the healing process, for me anyways, something as tangible as the lies.

New to the forum. Hi everyone. I've had this idea brewing around in my pretty little head for a few months now....I remember when as a TBM in the hinterlands (Ohio) it was part of the lifelong goals to make a trip to Mecca (SLC temple) and other historical sites. Now I find myself wanting to visit the REAL historical sites, not the fantasy morg versions that we were taught in seminary. So I am st

You have much more patience and tolerance than me. Since my last visit to church, probably 2003-04, I have had only a few instances of anyone from the church contacting me, and two days ago I was contacted for the second time in a year and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I know my TBM mother is sending them my new address with every move and that enough gets my blood boiling. Yes,

Another option to get a BOM would be the local library and yes, I have seen them in thrift stores...lots of times...haha.

Hello everyone. I just emailed my resignation letter within the last few minutes after being a member of the LDS church for 43 years. Long story short...my parents found out about the Mormon church when on a family day trip to Vermont to scope out covered bridges and got sidetracked to the Joseph Smith birthplace. I was excited to be baptized and really tried to be a TBM even though there were ti
