I have done all that I can to ensure that my kids will never have to choose between having a relationship with their father and his partner whom they both love, and being involved in the church that their mother loves. Now, because my boys live with me part time,…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: More fun for the women edition!
As you might imagine, the discussion of last week‘s essay on women, the priesthood, and Heavenly Mother isn’t done. The doctrine of a Heavenly Mother that you aren’t allowed to talk to or about is just too problematic. And the bit in the essay about women and the priesthood seems…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: New essay edition!
The CoJCoL-dS just released a new essay — this time on women’s roles and Mother in Heaven (u redd it first here) — and everyone is talking about it! As usual, not everyone is thrilled by it: I need a mother. I don’t need the notion of a mother, or…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Another week, another SiOB edition, ;)
Sigh, this week has been pretty calm compared to last week. I guess there was this article about mishies not getting the healthcare they need, which gave some deserved publicity to the Sick RMs organization. President Newsroom’s response made me sick. Just a couple weeks after the fiasco of handing…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Ponderize Edition!
I just love the week after General Conference! We get treated a to a whole week of discussion and analysis (and parodies and oodles and oodles of podcasts!) of all of the good parts of what was said — and, boy, did this last one have a lot of stuff…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Armageddon deferred (again) edition!
September ended, the “blood moon” came and went, and — surprise, surprise — the end-of-the-world financial collapse (predicted by Julie Rowe and the preppers) didn’t happen. I was just wondering why so many people go bananas over disaster predictions that are just made up when there are so many reality-based…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Mental health edition!
Andrew S contrasted the attitudes of John Dehlin and Dan Wotherspoon using a quote that illustrates this week’s LDS topic: It’s not just these isolated positive emotional experiences that I had, that you have had, that others have had…it’s the fact that those are tied to an institution that brings…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: tidbits edition!
This past week didn’t have one big, over-arching Mo-related scandal (for once), but there were oh-so-many interesting tidbits!! Archeologists recently found the mass graves of the victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Mormon population numbers don’t add up, and the fight for women’s reproductive health in Utah just got…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Julie Rowe Edition!
Whatever happened to that old-time LDS religion that was always on about how the end of the world is nigh? Probably some members like the newer, calmer CoJCoL-dS, but others are clearly unsatisfied with the weak porridge (and deletions) that the correlated corporate church serves up — they want the…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: The Return!
Hi folks, I’m back!! When we last checked in with the church PR leaders, they were huffily, grudgingly sticking with the Boy Scouts as their youth program (and continuing their policy of ignoring girls). On immigration the right-wingers also have the opportunity to be out-of-sync with a political position held…
