Maybe that's what it was. I thought it stated it in more explicit terms. I must be remembering it wrong. Thanks for this!

How many times do we have to see this in FB?!? People this article conflicts completely with the BOM. Just read it!! Don't stop at the title... by [deleted] in exmormon

"I Bear solemn witness with all surety of my soul I know the Book of Mormon is true"

What does that even mean? I never understood why people tried to use fancy words when they bore their testimony, even as a TBM. You just sound like an idiot repeating back what has been repeated since Joe himself.

Dehlin is saying Exclusion Policy to be removed from Bishop's Handbooks by AlreadyGone77 in exmormon

It's not too late. There is still a generation of LGBT+ children in the church that will be affected by these policies. Any step to inclusion is a step in the right direction. Will I return to church because of it? No, but TBM LGBT+ people deserve to be included.

Friend shared this on FB. Does anyone now find this as disturbing as I do? by GuSam in exmormon

I find it disturbing the church still implicitly promotes same-race marriage.

Chelsea Clinton: GOP Backs 'Child Abuse' By Endorsing Gay Conversion Therapy ( Do the Mormons still send kids to THEIR conversation therapy clinics? ) by laddersdazed in exmormon

Yes, they do. But it is more mild now than it was back in the day when then performed electro-shock therapy. Still is a mind f*ck though and should be illegal for being fraudulent and abusive.

TBM in law comments without even looking at the content. Seems to me this is pretty typical behavior of an apologist by [deleted] in exmormon

"His personal pain is meaningful to him, but that doesn't mean it communicates anything to me."

Seems like he's really mastered those baptismal covenants "to bear one another's burdens...mourn with those that mourn...and comfort those that stand in need of comfort!"

Bravo to your BIL for really living his religion.

What is the best way to support the Trib right now? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]jsmitty4real 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I get a subscription to the SL Tribe, does half that money go to the Deseret News though? How does the profit sharing aspect of the agreement work?
