Re: Is StayLDS at its end of life?
I’m relieved this site is sticking around. :clap: :D And thank you so much to all the admins/moderators! I haven’t posted in a loooong time, but I do lurk at least once a month. If it were entirely up to me, I wouldn’t StayLDS, but I do it to support my husband. He’s an adult convert to the church a...

Re: Time's Up
Hi Kipper, I was reading your post and wondered what happened in your meeting with the HPGL and the resulting reaction/consequences.

Re: Book of Mormon- does a literal history matter?
"I'm perfectly fine with me not believing the BoM to be literal while those around me do - and I don't need to say anything about it. To me it's sort of like reading any novel - I don't have a literal belief in it, but if my neighbor wants to believe To Kill a Mockingbird is a true story, what do I...

Re: Book of Mormon- does a literal history matter?
When talking religion I think homogeneous belief is one of the areas in which the one true church would pride itself. This is the way things are, how could someone feel differently? We're probably going to have to relax the expectation of correlated beliefs before we can create space for a non-lite...
