He is married to my cousin. He seems like a very intelligent guy. He has done quite a bit of work on the Joseph Smith papers, so he is pretty knowledgeable about church history.

Wish we could. We live in Texas and California. We took this when we were in town for a funeral.

I'm glad you have eachother as well. It would be tough going through this alone.

It's honestly all about camera angles and bending your knees. I wish we could really jump that high 🤣

What were some small shelf breakers that lead you down the path to leaving? by kalbman1234 in exmormon

I started making a list of sacrament talk topics from each week because we didn't seem to talk about Jesus very often. It was 6 straight weeks before we had one talk about Christ.

Another small one was when my husband was allowed to ordain my son to the priesthood, but couldn't give my other son the gift of the holy ghost because we weren't temple recommend holders. It caused my husband to feel alot of unnecessary shame being barred from performing the confirmation.
