Psychics & Ballards
In the latest round of lawsuits around the Tim Ballard mess, the lawsuit claims that Tim Ballard's staff psychic also was employed by M. Russel Ballard as his personal psychic. It will be interesting if they can present any actual evidence of this or if it is all just hearsay. Additionally, the amen...

But I have always kind of thought that the one third the host of Heaven who said “no way.” We’re the smart ones. I mean, honestly, what does that starving ...

Re: Best part of conference?
I spend Saturday conference in Sugar Creek, OH. Amish country. Sunday was in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I would say I didn't miss anything. Did you go by the nesting site (Bath Road) of the blue herons? That's pretty cool to see. Were you in Ohio for the eclipse? It exceeded my expectations. Th...

Re: From 15th to 23rd
Since the whole discussion of happiness is based on the Gallup poll, it is interesting that that pole is getting criticism in that it is inherently flawed. According to one study, the way it is worded would favor someone who is better off financially, not necessarily happy with friends and family. I...

Re: The Mormon church is looking to crack down on... garments?!
The church is missing a major opportunity here. With the rise and acceptance of tattooing, LDSinc could open sacred temple tattoo parlors where the marks are tattooed on, for a nominal price. Of course, these tattoos would require regular touch-up work to maintain their symbolism. Renew your TR by g...

Re: Would you do it all over?
This is a difficult question for me. Growing up, I was very introverted. I wasn't good at talking to strangers or even talking with girls. For the girls, Church was a large contributing factor. You are constantly told how you have to be careful around them and they can cause you to do bad stuff. For...

Re: The Mormon church is looking to crack down on... garments?!
Admitadly It's been a long time since I had a TR interview. The question I remember was "Do you war the garment night and day as instructed in the temple?" Did this get changed sometime over the last decade to be more open? I do wonder how they will deal with Mormon celebrities / pop figures / athle...

I forgot about CG coming up. I have a bunch of family medical issues and this weekend I will be taking the family out of town to go see the eclipse. Hey, it's a once in a life time event to see, and I only live a few hours from the path of totality. I am not missing this. I do wonder what will get m...

Re: Apologizing for your faith?
I say:
I was raised Mormon, but I got better. Being on the East coast, Mormonism is only a minor player in the religion thing. So this usually gets a laugh out of whoever I tell it to.

Re: Tithe or you'll be burned?
I always heard that in regard to D&C 64:23 "Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming." The idea that I have always heard is that paying tithi...

It looks like these are most common with the shorts. I rarely listen to those, but they are click-baity. I feel like Bill Reel has adopted some unhealthy habits.

Re: Was tithing required to attend the temple
Didn't Jesus have a few choice actions for the money changers at the temple? Don't know about tithing per say, but it was defiantly pay-to-play back then as well.
