Saying Lord Lord
There has been a heated debate for the thirty years I’ve been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as to whether Mormons are Christians. You’ve probably read my own thoughts about my hesitation to call myself a Christian, but that is not what this post is about. Jesus said…

Inactive or Feral
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would consider me an inactive member when it considered me at all. But “inactive” is boring and weak. I don’t want to be as lame as that sounds. I have begun to refer to myself as a feral Mormon. That sounds weird and a little dangerous.…

Baptized Twice
When I was a few months old I was baptized as an Episcopalian. It’s pretty easy to be Christlike as a little kid. I was thirteen before I learned the Ten Commandments. That was right around the time that I was confirmed as a member of the Episcopal Church. The bishop had powder on his…

Mormon and Me

A Choice of Life or Death
I ponder 2 Nephi 2 again today. “27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and…

Ultimate Rebellion
I’ve had 10mg of THC and I’m facing down the question: Am I a Mormon primarily to rebel against my dad? He’s an amazing guy but he takes money in exchange for his witness, When I met The Missionaries they preached the gospel for free. They even paid for the privilege to preach the gospel.…
