Polygamy: Why Does it Matter?
This is the fifth in a series. You can read the first here, the second here, the third here, the fourth here. This claim comes up a lot. Like, every time. If you bring up polygamy with a faithful Mormon, they will tell you it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s over. But it’s not over. It’s… Continue reading

Family Christmas Letter
We didn’t send out a Christmas letter this year. And we are not quite ready to be super public about this, but I thought it would be fun to go ahead and express it anyway, for my blog readers. And let it go down in history for when we do go public! Dear friends, What… Continue reading

I am a Sinner!
A year ago, I spent the month of December wondering what does it mean to be a Christian? I didn’t know that question was connected to a faith crisis. I wouldn’t have told you I was in faith crisis at that point. I would have just said Brigham Young was a false prophet but everything… Continue reading

This is the fourth in a series. You can read the first here, the second here, the third here. Blogger’s Husband here again. You may start to hear more from me. Some of the things she writes gets me more fired up than others and she’s been on a tear lately with this polygamy stuff… Continue reading

Gaslighting Through Sweet Voices
I can recognize this because it’s bringing up things from my past I’ve already experienced, due to my personality. Let me explain. I’m a fan of Carol Tuttle’s four “energy types.” (New Age Mormon culture is another interesting topic I need to address at some point.) I’m a type 3. I’m known for being highly… Continue reading

Polygamy: Justifications
This is the third in a series. You can read the first here and the second here. When I posted on Facebook about polygamy, here’s a shocking comment I received, in justification for it. “This was about far more than Joseph. He needed to start it. I would not be here today without polygamy. Neither… Continue reading

Polygamy: Do It Or Be Damned!
This is the second post in a series. See the first here. Many of us are very concerned that the church is teaching this to children. And in such an innocent, cute way, with nice little pictures. The overall message is that God wanted Joseph, Brigham, and others to practice polygamy — but it was… Continue reading

Polygamy: I Wonder How God Feels About It
This is the first post in a series. There’s a lot on talk over social media in the ExMo community about this new Church History manual for children next year. 2025 is the year for the D&C rotation in Come Follow Me, which we all know concludes with section 132 where “the Lord” commands plural… Continue reading

Thieves in the Sheep Pen
In John 10:1-13 Jesus tells the parable of the sheep pen. When this was portrayed on The Chosen, it was unfamiliar to me. It’s been great to study it. I’ve often wondered about other religions besides Christianity; I’m really interested in other cultures and find value in them. I think God leads them too, to… Continue reading
