Collecting Nominations for X-Mormon of the Year 2016
It’s awards season again, and this year’s contest for William Law X-Mormon of the Year looks like it will be the most exciting one yet!! When Jeremy Runnells excommunicated the church at his disciplinary council this past Spring, I immediately concluded that he had the 2016 X-Mormon of the Year…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Still still not OK edition!
Awards season is almost upon us, and this year’s race for X-Mormon of the year is likely to be our most exciting ever! I hope to have the nominations thread up on Friday of this coming week. The depressing part is that things are still not OK in this world….
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Quick break edition!
Hi folks, I have been too depressed about the state of the world to do SiOB this week, sorry. SiOB will be back next week, and we have an exciting awards season coming up soon! In the meantime, I’m taking a pause for some less-stressful activities: drawing my comic book,…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Still not OK edition!
So, the reason I didn’t get SiOB done yesterday is explained in this helpful comic. I was thinking that rounding up this past week’s Mormon discussion would distract me from our current crisis of democracy, but it appears that the LDS-interest bloggers are also still talking about the election. Well,…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Mourning in America edition!
Folks, I wish I had some good news for you. Unfortunately, we’re screwed. The fact that Mormons voted overwhelmingly for Trump was a particularly cruel disappointment, especially for their fellow religious minorities. I’m not really sure what’s in store for our species, for our future, but I guess after a…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Unhappy anniversary edition!
One year ago yesterday, the members of the CoJCoL-dS learned that their church had launched a new policy of excluding the children of same-sex couples from the church’s principal ordinances. This one event broke many people’s hope that the CoJCoL-dS would one day do right by its LGBTQ members, and…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Mormon and Gay edition!
This past week the CoJCoL-dS launched a new website showcasing some personal stories of how it’s possible to be Mormon and gay — by living a life of celibacy or mixed-orientation-marriage. Well, sort of: I understand why the November policy wasn’t mentioned, but I couldn’t help but think about it….
Sunday in Outer Blogness: It’s not over till it’s over edition!!
After last week’s high note on US/Utah politics, things are getting muddy again, with Trump triggering PTSD in assault victims, and the news that Utah’s own dark horse (or rather white horse) candidate may actually win in Utah (I guess that’s better than Trump…?) I think Adam Lee makes a…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Mormon integrity edition!
It’s starting to look more and more like Hillary Clinton has a shot at winning Utah in the upcoming US election!! I’m really proud of the Mormons for having rejected Donald Trump months ago — as a matter of integrity — rather than supporting him out of expedience or making…
