Re: Is Mormonism an example of harmful Religious Addiction?
How long since you heard "moderation in all things" in a church talk?

Re: Oaks wants a cease fire...
“How would the great movements toward social justice in the United States, such as the abolition of slavery or the furthering of civil rights, have been advocated and pressed toward adoption if their religious proponents had been banned from participating on the issue by the assertion that private ...

Re: Does Mormonism Correspond With Reality?
Hugh Nibley was considered successful in TBM eyes. But he usually avoided reality, and dwelled on remote possibilities.

Re: A Question to those who left the Church....
I felt vindicated. For all my adult life I felt there was something "not quite right" about the church, and there it was, plain as day, on the internet. It is a challenge to navigate LDS society at times, but I no longer have to wonder "Why am I the only one who doesn't feel the Spiri...

Re: Internet not only threat to Mormonism...

Re: LDS old man explains how monogamy is the order in heaven
This article is a bit long, but worth the read. This man makes the case that monogamy is the way of the Celestial Kingdom, and polygamy isn't coming back. m Eugene England was a lifeline for independent folks at BYU in my era but his writings do not age well for me. He worked hard to provide a brid...

Re: Is JoAnna Brooks in the sights of the excomm' quorum??
Seems to me like JoAnna Brooks is working to solve a problem- the LDS perception of Gay people. For some crazy reason, despite all LDS church leaders are doing to solve the problem, some people still think people's sexuality can be fixed with some kind of therapy. Why would God cause anyone to think...
