http://radiowest.kuer.org/post/crucible-doubt If you didn't catch it, this KUER interview yesterday about the Givens' new book was excellent. The Mormonism that the Givens describe in this interview is the Mormonism I believe in. I'm going to have to finally read their books. They also said the chur...

How about this? I just found this. Does it ring true with anyone here?

Thanks for the kind words.

If someone wants to try to explain to me why the traditional answers don't help folks here, I would like to understand that. It's totally outside my own experience.

I have decided to stop visiting this site because I don't feel I can make a constructive contribution. Thank you for considering things I've said here. I apologize if I've offended anyone. iI wish you all the best in finding your individual paths back to our Father in heaven. A few parting thoughts,...

But fairly liberal about most other things - economic justice, role of government, environment, taxes, corporations, anti-nationalism, etc. F...

I'm late to this party, apologies. When I read the official statement it sounded exactly right. All these official first presidency statements do. I guess that means I'm a TBM. Regarding Kate: I assume this topic has already been beat into the ground here, but someone raised it here so I'm respondin...

I've thought about this a lot over the years. I have concluded that the classic "Abrahamic Test" is bad theology. God is straightforward. He doesn't mess with us, set us up, move the goalposts, or test our loyalty with cruel manufactured scenarios. It is not in His character to deceive. What you se...
