Hi Everyone. DJ Williams, a somewhat infrequent commenter on MSP, recently published a book that, while not primarily about Mormonism, addresses it as it relates to BDSM. I recently read and reviewed the book and DJ has agreed to respond to comments on MSP. Here’s the review: Even though the…
Author: profxm
I'm a college professor and, well, a professional X-Mormon. Thus, ProfXM. I love my Mormon family, but have issues with LDS Inc. And I'm not afraid to tell LDS Inc. what I really think... anonymously, of course!
new theme and features
Hi Everyone, In order to implement a new feature request we had to upgrade MSP to a new theme. It’s not all that different from the old one; we know how everyone on here hates change! 😉 Anyway, the new feature request is related to the comments. You should now…
The Future of Religion in America?
I was riding my bike through myneighborhoodwith my son the other day when I noticed a “For Sale” sign in an odd place – in front of a local church: Yep, the local church is for sale. I couldn’t help but think that this is reflective of the growing number…
a little black e-book for Mormons
Ever wanted to meet a Jew turned Mormon? How about a female, in her mid-20s, living in South America, who is a former Buddhist? I haven’t, really, but a new feature on Mormon.org allows you to search for them: Meet Mormons. (FYI, lots of former Jews, no former Buddhists meeting…
How bad must things be in the US?
Did anyone else catch the latest change to proselytizing in the US? Mormon missionaries are now surfing the web looking for people. Baptism numbers must be way down if the LDS Church is allowing missionaries to spend time online searching for converts (of course, with a companion looking over their…
atheism – the bane of Mormonism
I’m not exactly sure what is going on, but apparently the LDS Church is increasingly worried about this whole atheism thing. Russell M. Nelson just gave a talk to young adults in Massachusetts in which he railed against atheism. This combines with a talk from the October 2009 conference (I…
LDS Inc. sets gold standard on reporting child abuse?
I caught this article in the MormonTimes about the LDS Church being criticized by Marci Hamilton about its cover ups of child sexual abuse. I highly suggest your read Marci Hamilton’s article first, but I’ll give you the conclusion here: Thus, the LDS Church has created essentially the same opaque…
Mormons love them some porn
We had a good discussion earlier about Mormons and porn here, but I just caught this news article and thought everyone on MSP would enjoy the graphic: Via: Online MBA Two interesting tidbits – highest porn consumption day: Sunday. State with highest subscription rate to porn websites per capita: Utah….
um, was I right?
In this earlier post I suggested that calling the Mormon Church a hate church may get them to change their position on same-sex marriage. I didn’t get a lot of takers on that position, but I have to wonder if maybe I was right. Turns out that the champion of…
National Day of Prayer – bye bye!
My crazy uncle (who I really like) just send me one of his amazing emails. Here’s the email with some comments I couldn’t help but add included in blue: HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY for Andy Rooney (hilarious that they think Andy Rooney would write this!). I myself have been grumbling and…
