As a first step in the projected server upgrades discussed earlier we’ll be doing some updates on the 7th and the 8th. There may be some downtime. If it takes longer than planned, we’ll post information on FLAK or post-mormon. In the meantime, feel free to post your tech comments…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: The Mormon Moment Comes Home to Roost Edition!
Mitt’s success has put Mormons in the spotlight around and the world, and it’s starting to get uncomfortable. Last week’s controversy hadn’t even cooled off yet when this new one struck!! Here’s the latest on the baptizing-other-people’s-dead-relatives scandal: The First Presidency officially told members to stop submitting names of celebrities…
Time to vote for X-Mormon of the Year 2011!!!
Which “X-Mormon” had the biggest impact in 2011? Note: We are not implying that any of the contestants here have left the church. Many are active, faithful members of the CoJCoL-dS. The “X” here is a variable, standing for any kind of exceptional Mormon. Let’s meet the contestants!! Joanna Brooks:…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Rest in Peace Anne Frank Edition!
Baptism for the dead has hit the news in a big way! With all of the criticism in the news about posthumously baptizing holocaust victims (including Anne Frank, again), the Hindus got wind of the practice (and they don’t like it either). (On a related note, overuse of the “N-word”…
Collecting nominations for X-Mormon of the Year 2011!!!
Which X-Mormon had the biggest impact in 2011?? Remember that — as always — the “X” is a variable that can stand for any type of non-traditional Mormon (eg. liberal-Mormon, New Order Mormon, etc.) — it’s not just for “ex” or former Mormons!! Here are some choices to start with:…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Short & Sweet Edition!

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Apostasy Edition!
In response to last week’s news (about all that apostasy), the exmo/borderland community stepped up with lots of helpful discussion and ideas! Including fun ways to introduce less faith-promoting information. Personally, I think correlation is the problem — if people weren’t told to discuss only what the correlated manuals tell…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Where Have All the Mormons Gone? Edition!
More and more Mormons are leaving the church — not exactly news, but it hit the news in a big way last week!! This is largely because an important LDS leader admitted to Reuters that “attrition has accelerated in the last five or 10 years” — while refusing to give…
