Feeling at home...on a website

When I first came across By Common Consent, I considered it strange, fascinating, and vaguely heretical. After all, one guy there was talking about his expectation that women would be given the priesthood. It was just so unknown.

Then I started reading it regularly. At first, it was to get the thrill of reading something heterodox. But then something happened. By Common Consent started to feel normal. I felt at home there. I felt like I knew the contributors. It was no longer a strange foreign world. It was home.

Now I wonder how I could ever have thought it was weird. Even the writers with somewhat unorthodox views don't typically loudly proclaim them unless asked.

Anyways, there you go. I now live at By Common Consent. Unless I'm visiting Times and Seasons for a while. Or maybe I'm over to see if Feminist Mormon Housewives has decided to post something interesting yet (or ditch their ugly color scheme). Or I might be at Millennial Star to see how the ultra-conservative Mormon base is doing (even though they really aren't that conservative, that's the way I feel about it).

  2. Hahaha... rjh, that made me laugh.

    BCC is pretty interesting, I enjoy reading it as well though not as regularly as you.

    And The Millennial Star is ultra-conservative? The last time I looked it was Obama-nation. But I haven't checked them out in a while...
