NOM

Respond to abuse with kindness, children... -50 Missed it, came here for synopsis. Can you elaborate on this? Were children told to be kind to those who abuse them??? It was this weird story about someone being emotional and probably verbally abusive (they didn't use the word abusive, but that's ...

I just read an article explaining why so-called Christians are acting so hateful and UNChristlike. It talked about vertical and horizontal morality. Vertical morality is that morality comes from a top authority figure, while horizontal morality thinks about the effect on other people. So, these so ...

Interesting. Those three bodies (FP, Q12, Q70) should each get one vote. No, the RS presidency and primary and YW presidency all need one vote also. That way, women have equal say to all the men in the church. And if there are any disagreements, then that group’s vote is just canceled. Because I am ...

Will you please expound on that? He just kept going on about the good old days before technology, families were better then, blah, blah... He knows we could use a man like Herbert Hoove again. Didn't need no Welfare states. Everybody pulled his weight. Gee, our old LaSalle ran great; Those were the ...

Speaking of “nobody cares anymore” we used to get like 300-500 lurkers and 50 signed in members and 20 different commenters here during conference. Now it says I am the only one signed in and we have 7 lurkers and 2 bots. Sure, NOM is not attracting near as many people now that so many folks are lea ...

I may or may not be able to join. We do not pay for a TV subscription, so pulling it up off of the internet is our only option of watching and dear hubby is trying, but can’t find parts and so on. Shows how much interest he has that he didn’t even plan ahead. So, maybe I’ll join and maybe I will have ...

It is illegal to deploy troops against citizens, but that has not stopped Trump yet. See, all the officers of all military branches swear to uphold the constitution not be loyal to commander in chief and they do not have to obey an illegal order or violate the constitution because the president says ...

Mormons need an alternative to embracing fascism. Why? they went along with fascism when Hitler was taking over Germany and still when he was sending Jews to the gas chambers. They just keep their mouths shut and don’t stand up and call evil what it is. Easier to just go along approving of whatever ...

And it turns out, he was not in a relationship with a trans roommate. The roommate is not trans, only kind of a pretty guy, and they were not in any kind of relationship. He was not believed to be in any romantic relationship. All made up bunk by the MAGA liars. They can make up imaginary crap ...

And sorry governor Cox, but fascists have never been talked out of killing everyone who doesn’t look like them and some who do by talking politely to them. So, talk polite right up till they throw you into a gas chamber. Being polite never talked anyone out of hatred. Trade the word Jew for Mexican, ...

The evidence so far says this was far right on far right violence. There is a kind of young man insanity where they want to prove their manhood by killing off their own tribe leader. Quite instinctive actually. Gorillas do it, baboons do it. Far right idiots do it. Well, looks to me like this ...

It seems like, at the very least, churches and all other nonprofits should be required to have 100% transparency if they are not required to pay taxes. If they choose to be secretive, they are welcome to keep it to themselves and pay taxes. The entire idea of churches and the law appears to be ...

I love stuff like this. Mormons LOVE going to church, but they are strangely overjoyed whenever the number or length of meetings are reduced. They have such deep respect and reverence for their sacred temple garments and the modesty they dictate, but it's like a Black Friday brawl when skimpier ...

Treatment of LGBT folks... One recent change that has been very significant for me is the transgender bathroom policy. The church has told me that my family is not welcome in their buildings. No amount of flowery talk about how much they love and welcome their LGBT members will compensate for the ...

Different Holy Ghost. The wives rotate callings every few eons, just like at church.

Jeffrey mentioned correlation of finances, but a bigger part of correlation than just financial was making the relief society into nothing but a sham of a “women’s organization”. It is no longer a women’s organization but a men’s organization for their women folk. It is completely run by men now wher ...

I don’t know that this is in the wrong forum, because to my eyes, it applies to the church just a little too much. Do I need to put up examples of the lying from the church in recent years, let alone all the way back to con man Joseph Smith? Or what about other denominations who also engage in s ...

There is good evidence that Trump is suffering from Alzheimer’s. There is an article by two psychologists that shows a video of him walking along the red carpet in Alaska where he obviously cannot walk in a straight line. It points out that he is swinging one leg wide, which causes him to veer one d ...

Trump is selling hats with the slogan Trump in 2028 in the White House gift shop. The Quorum of the Twelve will declare that there is nothing in LDS doctrine to prohibit this and that they will take no position against this move. They will point out that the Constitution is purely a secular matter ...
