Re: Prophecy and Modern times
I believe there is a non-zero chance (somewhere less than 5%) that humans will be stupid enough to start world war 3 and destroy the world and life as we know it. (I see Iran etc.. making a lot of threats but other than a few rogue terrorists with missiles, none have the guts to risk destroying thei...

Re: Prophecy and Modern times
I called the topic prophecy and modern times cause that’s the name of Skousen’s book that was on my bookshelf as a kid and a lot of us gen-x ers were taught from it whether we knew it or not. The most disturbing part for me was not the death and destruction and gore but when he said that all of mank...

Prophecy and Modern times
So here we go with the possible start of open war between the armies of Israel against Gog and Magog. Cleon Skousen and all the 19th to 20th century Mormon prophets have laid out the blueprint. We need two apostles to go to Jerusalem and perform signs and wonders as they hold back the heathen armies...

Re: After 10+ years inactive, I decided to return for good
Thanks for all the great comments! Now I find myself trying to fix the things I feel got damaged or broken inside, after years struggling with my own feelings, my faith or lack thereof, my sins and doubts. Honestly, I dread the idea of being on my death bed, having denied God because I got doubtful...

Has Ensign Peak bought and bribed AI?
I asked ChatGPT if Joseph Smith married underage girls. The response was more ridiculously apologetic than anything I’ve read from FAIR: Yes, Joseph Smith did have marriages with women who were younger, including some who were under the age of 18. It is important to understand, however, that the pra...

Re: Club-Q shooter was not an ACTIVE Mormon
By the way, in the early 90s I myself was a very inactive college student but still had very homophobic opinions based on my church upbringing. Mormon beliefs don’t just wash off you the minute you walk out of a church building

Re: Club-Q shooter was not an ACTIVE Mormon
Failing the inactive argument, they could always claim he was acting as “a man and not a member”. It must be nice to be able to nuance all your evils away by playing with words so that TSCC can still be the one perfect institution on earth.

Re: Church Finances and the CBC
Live in Canada and this was an early shelf item. Believe I discovered in 2013 the same Canada revenue website which showed LDS donations going to BYU.

Re: God loves the apostate?
100% agree with this. I’ve noticed that ex-Mormons and PIMO’s are by far the most devout and well-read scriptorians and church historians. It’s the TBM’s who seem to be the lazy learners and lack the drive and curiosity to examine their own religion and beliefs.

The most well read Mormons are….
Ex-mormons. I think it’s more pronounced in Mormonism than any other religion and it speaks to the nature of the con men that created it. You don’t see many ex-Catholics that know the catechism or whatever better than an archbishop, you don’t see ex-Jews that know the history of the Torah better tha...

Re: Joseph Smith and the curse of the flaming sword
Why does an angel need a sword to destroy someone anyway?? Lol I guess having a sword and omnipotent priesthood power is better than just omnipotent priesthood power.

Joseph Smith and the curse of the flaming sword
Just thinking back to my TBM days when I’d go on splits with the missionaries and an investigator brought up Joseph Smith and polygamy. The missionaries enthusiastically chimed in that Joseph didn’t want to do it but an angel with a flaming sword threatened to kill him if he didn’t. It speaks to the...

Re: Technological advances BEFORE 1820?
Lol you can’t beat Mormon apologists that way. I remember being one. The orthodox story is that every advancement pre-1820 was to set the stage for the Grand First (Second,Third,Edited for a new audience…….etc) Vision. God had his hand on everyone from Christopher Columbus through George Washington ...
