Priesthood Ban. Then: God has spoken: Book of Moses, Book of Abraham, 1852, 1947, 1971.
Now: Might have been Joseph, Brigham, George Albert Smith, Harold B. Lee, and others following society and its traditions.

I could spend hours discussing this.

Interesting. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall when the apostles or whoever debated this.

Sorry to post this in the wrong category. Feel free to move it. Make America Good Again is a better motto. Maybe a purple hat- purple being red and blue combined would be an appropriate color. Just This Guy and Nibbler analyze the problems very well too. Thanks.

I've been reflecting on political scene again, and came up with a prospective political credo. "Make Lying Un-American Again." :D But when I break it down it is discouraging. "Again" is unrealistic- when was lying ever Un-american? :cry: Am I being too negative? "Lying" is.... realistic? Can we ...

I'm am impressed with the overwhelming love experienced by many NDE recipients. The Bible says "God is love" and "Charity never fails." Love is something worth exercising faith in, in my opinion. :D And, in the words of John Lennon: "Whatever gets you through the night.... is all right." 8-)

I think if the Mormon church leaders really believed, they would promote a study of priesthood blessings with confidence that the results would be faith-promoting. But they haven't, as far as we know. :? As we all "know," the blessings depend on the faith of the giver and the receiver of the ...

Priceless!! Thanks Moksha!

I have always been intrigued by NDEs, but I'm not an expert by any means. I've never had one. I understand that some of them could be legitimate. To totally deny that seems unrealistic. Was it Voltaire who said, "Certainty is ridiculous?" :D I can see that a shared NDE is unlikely, though not ...

I think many MAGA people are like a defendant who knows he's guilty, but want a lawyer who will save them from jail, so they get a crooked lawyer to represent them.

I want to reply to Pale Rider, even if it is much later. I believe NDE's are subjective because they aren't shared. They have common characteristics, but they are all singular, individual experiences. I listened to Jeff Holland's NDE, and it seems very subjective. He's just saying the same old s#*!.

One of the many ironies of contemporary American life is that many people, possibly as many as 70 million :o , actually want a king; in the form of a single executive power that overrules any legislative or judicial power, or even constitutional power. Many of these same people would claim as holy ...

Lee wrote from his @BasedMikeLee account: “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.” Then a half hour later, in a tone that has been interpreted across the internet as mocking, he again shared the image with the message: “Nightmare on Waltz [sic] Street.” It appeared to falsely link th ...

1. Military Parades-trump Nauvoo Legion drills, etc. Joseph Smith 2. Wives & mistresses- trump Polygamy- Joseph Smith. 3. Get rid of dissent- trump Chase Cowdery, Whitmer and other dissenters out of Far West- Joseph Smith P.S. I almost posted this under Doctrine, because I believe Joseph Smith felt ...

Thank you Angel. I wish I could be there. Heat does things to my body, so I'll have to protest through donations and supporting others. I gave the first Democratic donation in my life yesterday.

This is just something I do sometimes to try and make sense of this crazy trip called life.
Impressions + intuition = the holy ghost?
intuition + narcissism + burned over district = prophet?
power + narcissism= ????

Mr. Deity is back with new posts on Youtube. He was always one of my favorites. Maybe he never went away, but anyway, he has put out some great new material.

The packet boats are a very likely inspiration for the Jaredite barges. If the Books of Mormon sold for $1.75, compared to 25 cents for the Adam Clarke volumes the comparison is interesting. Martin Harris paid $3,000 for 5,000 copies of the BOM. That meant Joseph/Martin were hoping to make more than ...

One problem with the endowment ceremony is that it indoctrinated Mormons (us in a former life) to have a very narrow view of God: white, male, long hair and beard, white robes, sandals, lives in a Geek style temple in the sky. Maybe it's because most people create god in the image of their father or ...

From Atlantic magazine: The Trump administration has demanded that Harvard hire additional conservative professors or risk losing even more of its federal funding. (Even as it made that demand, it insisted that Harvard adopt “merit-based admissions policies and cease all preferences based on race, ...
