hawkgrrrl, this is just awesome. There are only minor points where my situation would be much different than yours. One might be in the Extended Family category. I have been noticing an increasing urge to find some way to just spill the beans to all of them. Let them know where I stand. Part of this...

I have been in a position to be part of the hiring process for quite a few years now, and I regularly Google candidates. I would not use religion against them, but I've seen some things that absolutely influenced final decisions. Understood, and I think it's an extremely valid point that we should ...

I am in the process of applying for a job with the church right now. I wouldn't want them reading about my faith crisis at all.

I am reading Rough Stone Rolling to finally try to get to know Joseph Smith. The more I get to know of his life story, however, the more I start to feel like he ...

Women were free to choose their spouses, whether to enter into a polygamous or monogamous union, or ...
