Shulem's many threads on the Celestial Forum at Discuss Mormonism cover this topic in great detail.

Shulem is Paul Osborne. He was, at one point, a hobby apologist. His writing on the topic is unmatched.

Wow..... wow. The bigoted projection and unfounded accusations are noted. Seems that these jew-hating accusations are all a projection, moksha. Any chance you are going to put down your projections for just a minute and answer any or all of my questions? Must you try to excuse any of Trump's past a...

I generally agree with you, ME. I just don't think there's an global plot to castrate people. Like I said before, nature and technology will be the determining factors, not evil conspirators. We move forward constantly in other scientific fields. Why not use our knowledge to pump less crap into the...

Now this one is funny. “I hope that there are options and alternatives that reflect the important challenges that we’re facing, and that reflect leadership to meet those challenges, but that choice can never be Donald Trump because a vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get...

Where I am, there are several empty ward building. Various wards and branches got small enough they had to be consolidated and the ended with fewer wards than building. LDSinc. still owns the building. I wonder how they feel about having to maintain buildings that no one uses. I think this is a big...

The math says - there is a problem with this model. Basically, the minimum required to create a ward is less than the minimum required to staff a ward. It is hard to fathom what has happened to lower the standard to this level. Wards in the midwest will go without executive secretaries or SS presid...

The unified requirements used to create a stake will now include the need for each stake to have 2,000 total members in the stake. Stakes in the U.S. and Canada previously needed to have 3,000 members. Those outside these two countries needed 1,900. Stakes will need 150 active, full-tithe-paying Me...

Is anyone else ever put off by all the leaders from Bishop to SP and above who all seem like pompous asses because they have soooo much education and are smarter than everyone else ??I mean really I was never able to afford a great education got what I could an associate degree in criminal justice ...

Like I said, we cannot sustain endless population growth. We don't have to sterilize anybody. Nature will put itself in balance, and we may not like the way that happens. Maybe we should try to be participants rather than victims. I agree with you, Hagoth. It will run its course naturally. And all ...

On the other thing, I will bite. The depopulation thing is not about the environment. Its just a fad among hippies and fancy people. I am cool with it. People who dont like kids or dont care for kids shouldnt have kids. People who think their electric car is better for the environment than my Mom’s ...

Well, i have a different take. Politicized science is about as legit as that Mormon priesthood authority but at least it weighs less than a stack of gold plates, and, so far, doesn’t appear to be in the underpants business. If the consensus was real, and the science was legit, I sure as hell wouldn’...

I've been interested in the new standards for creating stakes and ward : https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/187zkj6/a_lot_of_wards_esp_outside_the_usa_are_about_to/ Stakes are required to have 150 full-tithe paying priesthood holders. There could be a problem as more people check out. "Mini...

The thing conspiracy theorists have in common is that whatever the topic: climate, age of earth, shape of earth, evolution denial... they are all similarly convinced that the scientific consensus on their particular topic is some kind of unfounded religion-like mutual agreement between millions of ...

No. I'm just challenging your conspiracy theory proposition, and wondering why you think a post-Mormon support group is the best platform to preach it. I would enjoy addressing this "wonder" that you are having, Hagoth. If there is an appropriate time and place for that conversation, I would absolu...

So basically, you are asking me to be more like you, and less like me, so you're comfortable reading my threads? No. I'm just challenging your conspiracy theory proposition, and wondering why you think a post-Mormon support group is the best platform to preach it. I would enjoy addressing this "won...

Hagoth's and RR's posts are true. So true. I would never recommend 17 years of inauthentic living or rationalization. I also do not recommend tossing away a great relationship over something as jackassed as dressing up, shaking hands, and repeating some lines. I do recommend, however, loud laughter ...
