Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a long time lurker but I would like to start contributing to some of the discussions here. I've been LDS for over thirty-five years (convert). I've served in many church leadership callings, still active, but I've been becoming more and more of a NOM as time has gone on. I'm very leery of some of the LDS apologia (esp. Book of Abraham) and I am just left of center when it comes to politics. I'm sure I'll get into more details as things progress.
I know this forum can be rough and tumble sometimes and though I'm registered under a pseudonym I promise to keep my comments within civil parameters and treat everyone with respect (I hope to receive the same). I have no problem dealing with differing points of view on LDS topics or politics. I'll do my best to focus on the arguments and I'll try to avoid snarky and ad hominem remarks like the plague.
I look forward to participating on this board.

Hi.
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

Welcome!
Word of advice, if you want to make it here, you are going to need to join one of the gangs for protection. You are also going to need a weapon, just in case one of the local predators (why me, for example) comes at you.
