We are smack dab in the middle of awards season here at Main Street Plaza! If you have not yet voted for X-Mormon of the year 2016, this week is your last chance — do it here! Also, I’ve just cleaned up the categories and added my own nominations for…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Good Riddance 2016 Edition!
I’d be even happier to see 2016 gone if it weren’t for the fact that the main problems of 2016 are ones that will be blossoming catastrophically in 2017… 🙁 Adult Onset Atheist described the problem in a nutshell: One potential lead indicator, that has a lot of scientists worrying…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Christmas Edition!
Wow, just when you thought the CoJCoL-dS didn’t have a shred of integrity left to sell, they’re sending the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to perform for Trump’s inauguration. The same Trump that hasn’t even taken office yet in is already putting us all in an incomprehensible level of danger from both…

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: 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….
