Why don't they teach this aspect of Celestial Marriage?
I read a paper about this topic. The feet washing was used as a way to further enforce BY being the rightful next leader because he had his feeties washed and guys like Rigdon didn’t. This is what is called the “Second Anointing”, “The More Sure Word of Prophecy”, “Having your Calling and Election M...

Does belief equal stupidity?
I detect a wave of stupidity sweeping across this nation. It's not that people are getting dumber... As someone in education, actually, there is a wave. Online education through covid hit hard. Our school is adding unprecedented sections of lower level math. 3,500 incoming college students tested i...

Re: Photo of Joseph Smith
When I saw that photo, I had to look up David Miscaviage.

Re: Did Robert Kirby retire?
I saw the original article. The LDS leadership doesn’t and probably can’t accept that gay is not a choice. So they have to force the issue lest god be a creep by predestining a significant number of his children to damnation. I’ve also found it interesting why celestial sex seems to be akin to exalt...

Re: What was the actual reason for the Mountain Meadows Massacre?
These men, like BY and George A, supposedly had their calling and election made sure. Oh yes, of course they'd received their 2nd anointing. It all plays into their warped mindset....what a cluster that ended in such a tragedy. My ancestor (Jesse N. Smith) writes about the 2nd anointing like it's j...

Re: What was the actual reason for the Mountain Meadows Massacre?
These men, like BY and George A, supposedly had their calling and election made sure. And this is what they could justify doing? They were culpable if not direct instigators! You know, Adolf Hitler probably never pulled a trigger himself, but do we justify him because of that?…and exonerate him from...

So, did this same George A get his second anointing?

Brad Wilcox
Anyone following the news on Brad? He is getting his a$$ handed to him. I looked closely at what he said the first time around, and it has a "us and them" implication that is pretty clear to me. I think he is trying to pay homage to the FACT that early leaders in the church said it was GOD who put t...

Blistering article in SL Tribune about BYU honor code (and USU)
A blistering pair of articles appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune yesterday and today that highlighted what I believe is a bigger problem of white privileged misogynistic men, heavily influenced by LDS culture, creating and perpetuating a rape culture in higher education. Both articles were blistering...

Re: What neuroscience tells us about Mormonism
Hello NOM. I'm still alive out here......occasionally checking in and seeing what the latest is. The "feeling the spirit" events in my life are very interesting. VERY interesting. What blew the lid on it being subjective for me was when watching Star Wars. When Luke has his force moments, and the Jo...

Re: Truman Madsen and the JS Tapes
I remember in those tables that Truman claimed Brigham Young wanted to know WHO Joseph really was. Joseph's response was: "If I told you who I am Brigham, you would leave the church!" And Truman said Brigham's responsed: "Then Don't Tell me!.....for what I know I know." What a load of rot. I've read...

Re: Examples that every prophet since JS have been wrong
Joseph Fielding Smith:
TK Smoothie
But, along more serious lines, he was rigid that life on this planet has only existed for 7,000 years. BRM got a lot of that from him.
And then you have to start inventing things for the dinosaurs to make it all fit.

Truman Madsen and the JS Tapes
A few days ago my partner and I drove south and ended up on the BYU campus. She told me about the places she worked, where she took classes, etc. It got me thinking about my TBM days, and specifically the Truman Madsen cassette tapes you could purchase on Joseph Smith. Truman lectured for about 6 ho...

Re: What do you believe about it now?
The Church has developed a well-staffed bureaucracy and dedicated volunteer corp that could put its collective shoulder to the wheel and help a lot of needy people. I actually agree with this Moksha. But the church would have to make some pretty big changes. I am concerned about the total illusiona...

What do you believe about it now?
With regards to the LDS church, I believe its a load of crock. I came to that conclusion about 10 years ago. The tipping point was when I could no longer justify the lack of accountability the leadership took in their words and actions. Since that time, my eyes were opened enough to look harder -- a...
