Bull received (from his TBM brother) this unsolicited catalog of all of the types of those who leave the church: Group 1: People who have battled patterns of behavior who fight until they conquer it Group 2: People who go inactively quietly in an attempt to minimize feelings of shame…

In the Shadow of the Temple
There’s an exciting new documentary in the works, coming out in the Fall of 2009! Called In the Shadow of the Temple, it’s about the lives of ex-Mormons and of people who don’t believe but still practice Mormonism for family reasons. The filmmakers have finished taking all of the footage…

LOL Nacklz!
It looks as though — now that Snarkernacle has fizzled out — a new mocking-the-Bloggernacle-themed blog has popped up to pick up the slack (which I found through the comments of this post)! Complete with LOL catz! I probably shouldn’t admit to reading this sort of thing (since gawking and…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: vacation’s over edition!
Hi ladies and germs. Last night I just got back from a lovely vacation visiting family and friends in Paris and Maastricht. Since I had only a few minutes of Internet here and there the whole time, naturally the Outer Blogness folder of my personal reader was overflowing with several…
