Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?

To the OP, my wife's poor friend has to report to her husband a new thing she learned every time she goes to the temple. And she goes a lot. What an unnecessary burden that must be. Seems kind of abusive to me. This is something that is a huge interest to me. Not abuse, and not the temple, and not ...

Re: Eckhart Tolle describing NOMs

Sending in the mohels is still considered normal, not pathological. That doesn't mean it isn't pathological. You cut off the end of a baby's penis because it's what your culture and your God (supposedly) tell you to do, so that's ok. But if it wasn't a long-standing tradition and some dude started ...

Re: Eckhart Tolle describing NOMs

I believe calling something insane, a medical or pathological condition that we can't truly qualify, prevents us from distinguishing actual victims from the fakeass victims. Calling someone insane, prevents us from looking at whether they are just imitating a group or whether they are truly submiss...

Every time I hear about Trump and his legal shenanigans, I am amazed at the parallels with the career of a Gaius Julius Caesar.
I am curious, do you see similar parallels with the shenanigans of the FBI and DOJ?

Re: Keeping up with Trump

Trump's legal team wants to set a jury trial for April 2026 because of the immensity of the evidence against Trump. They are hoping that Trump will get elected as President and issue a pardon to himself for all his crimes before starting on a new set of crimes. What else can defense lawyers do when...

So how many of your zone conferences included something about ETB saying, "read..... thebookumARmun"?

Re: A cage match I'd like to see

Take all of the writers of the various books of the Old and New Testaments and put them in a room together to discuss the nature and history of God. Put the leaders of modern Bible-based churches in there too. Give them baseball bats. See how many are left after 24 hours. Too bad Samson didn't writ...

Re: The Cost of a Janitor

Charity/ public health responsibilities = taking care of those who genuinely cannot help themselves. Enable/doormat = taking care of those who are able to take care of themselves.

Re: Everything scary was invented by The Church

Humans just can't help thinking in black and white. The loudest voices seem to tell you that you have to be either a godless tree-hugger or a God-fearing climate denier. What's wrong with loving God and his creation? What's wrong with being stewards of the home God gave you, rather than merely cons...

Re: How do you get your spouse to see that people can still be good after leaving the church?

When people leave, it naturally opens up other behavioral options they may have not previously considered. Most people, anyway. Very very few leave so they can participate in the other behavioral options without being encumbered with guilt or whatever, but the vast majority who leave do so through ...
