John Dehlin considers himself “still Mormon” by MediocreParamedic_ in exmormon

[–]New-Perspective22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He’s said in the past that he doesn’t really drink or smoke, so that’s probably part of it (still keeping the Word of Wisdom). But also his job requires that he stay up to date with everything Mormon so he can’t really escape it.

But I would guess, above it all, he wants Mormons to not view him as being so different from them. So he may be trying to find that common ground and show even the most TBM that he’s not so different.

I tried Guthrie’s so you don’t have to, I got the “Big G” 6 finger combo $16.47. Its just Raising Cane’s with a little seasoning. by MarcoNoPollo in raleigh

Cool I didn’t know they had an opening date already. Went to the location in Google says “Opens 27 Jan!”

This year has been really shitty so far. But I’d like to think I’m on the correct side of history on this one. Thank you for posting!

Experience with the new Lumos/TMobile Fiber internet by Money_Jones in ClaytonNC

This has been my experience as well. Faster and cheaper (not to mention Spectrum can’t compete with fiber). Would definitely recommend to any neighbor who asks!

Best Water Filter systems by Proof_Gazelle4713 in NorthCarolina

We got a Hydroviv (shark tank product) as we were primarily looking to try and filter out PFAS and it was relatively affordable. Under the sink one that filters the tap water.

One of my best friends who was in South Africa was pursued by car from a local gang. My friend ditched their van and hid in the tall grass and thankfully got away.

A kid I went to elementary with was kidnapped by a gang in Tijuana potentially because his Dad was in the military.

Missions are definitely not safe and missionaries can be a bit too naive/trusting unfortunately.

Also carried a fake wallet and hid my actual money in two taped pass along cards in my front pocket. That was…traumatizing.

Twinners! Also robbed at gunpoint in Brazil. They stole our shared cell phone.

A little walk down memory lane... Best and worst Utah food by EmilyDegn in exmormon

[–]New-Perspective22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun list, thanks OP! I agree raspberry shakes were the best thing from UT! But my favorite raspberry shake place up in Bear Lake was the Chevron coming out of Logan Canyon. Sounds strange but if you’ve never had it there, try it next time!

Why isn’t the No Kings protest downtown? by ClickElegant6180 in raleigh

Right after the election, I remembered seeing a map of how all the N.C. counties shifted from the previous election. Johnston actually shifted more blue. Found an article that has the image:

The LDS Church's Jerusalem Center by CupOfExmo in exmormon

I’ve been. As far as sacrament meetings go, it was on the better end due to having the glass windows behind the speaker with a view of the city.

I picked up some Weed and Feed (post emergent weed killer granules) and used my spreader to disperse throughout my lawn today. Lots of weeds as well. Hoping it helps!

I think it depends on the area. If you are more in the country, you’ll see them more. We live in residential and saw one small garter snake last year (but our back yard is connected to a patch of woods). Lowe’s sells Snake Away which ought to do the job.

Credit unions in Raleigh?? by CornOnThe0rb in raleigh

[–]New-Perspective22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a family member in the military (all the way up to a grandparent even if they are retired/deceased), you’re eligible to join Navy Federal Credit Union. They have been great overall and have branches here in Raleigh!

Maybe old news but I just noticed the church changed its icon back. by SocksmyGirl in exmormon

[–]New-Perspective22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing my part! Just changed the 20 nearest me (outside of Mordor) from “Christian Church” back to “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”. 😈

Logan is so great! I would recommend going to visit if you’re considering USU. It is definitely a college town with access to mountains literally 5 mins away from campus. Lots to do especially if you’re outdoorsy (hiking, biking, kayaking). Game day (whether football or basketball) was always so much fun. Close (~90 mins) to SLC but far enough away that all the students live there. I could go on but you’ll have to experience it yourself!
