Taking the Bible Literally
Some years ago, a co-worker expressed her frustration to me. I don’t know how we got on the topic, but she said she just wanted someone to tell her exactly what was in the bible and what it meant. I didn’t make a comment about this, as I wasn’t actively…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Conference Edition!
Now people have had a week or so to contemplate the most recent LDS General Conference, and it’s getting some interesting reviews! According to the Swearing Elders, the take-home message includes things like “don’t wear flip flops.” (They went on to explore this deep message with a funny flip-flop photo…
the enemy of my enemy…
Is Fred Karger! Okay, that’s a little hyperbolic (I don’t consider LDS Inc. an “enemy”), but I’m certainly not a fan of the LDS Church’s efforts to disenfranchise a minority population in the U.S. Fred Karger, a covert Republican operative for years and now a Schwarzennager Republican, is leading the…

Our Visions, Our Voices: A Mind Expanding Experience
The Our Visions, Our Voices: A Mormon Womens Literary Tour is over now. It has been discussed quite extensively throughout the bloggernacle, but I find myself still thinking about the experience. I thought Id share those thoughts with you. I was just back from the OVOV tour when my husband…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Easter Meat and Milk Edition!
We’ve had quite a collection of both hearty thought-provoking articles and light funnies in Outer Blogness this week!! I’ll just mix them up and let you guess which is which! First — in honor of Easter — a bunch of news from the Catholic Church. The evidence of institutionally-endemic child…
What’s with Mormons and porn?
LDS Inc. is at it again – fighting porn. Apparently they have set up a new website for porn addiction: http://combatingpornography.org/cp/eng/ So, the only reference I can find that actually says anything about pornography being unhealthy on the page for individuals is to the work of Victor Cline, who appears…
