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...

Re: Replacing the New Order Mormon

As far as readers, maybe we should ask some podcasters to mention this board.

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.

Mormon Discussion Youtube Videos

Mormon Discussion is the parent organization for Radio Free Mormon and Bill Reel. Am I the only one who is super annoyed at their constant use of click bait video titles?

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.

Re: Mormon Missions ARE Human Trafficking

Missions usually have a policy that passports are to be held in the mission office. They usually use the excuse that it is for the protection of the missionaries to keep them from getting lost. I get that. I knew too many missionaries in my time that I wouldn't trust not to loose an important docume...

Re: Anybody know anything about Patrick Kearon? New Apostle

While reform is needed, it still have to go through the guys at the top and the current ones are as set in their harmful ways as ever. So I won't not get excited to see any change until for a very long time. At least until the current group of bigoted old men kick the bucket. Just a quick count and...

Re: Anybody know anything about Patrick Kearon? New Apostle

John Dehlin noted that new apostle Kearon effectively rebuked that crazy Mormon idea that victims are guilty of being victimized. He said that perhaps Kearon can bring some much-needed reform to Mormonism. A lot was said about Updorf bring needed reform to the church as well. However, he was as muc...

Re: Requirements for a Stake

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...

Or the reverse order. Imagine this.

And it's worded as a hard-core, honest to God, no bones abo...

One thing to keep in mind is that globally birth rates are declining. The UN is guessing that total population will plateau mid to late this century. Overall population growth is projected to peak around 9.7 B. And it will likely start declining early in the early 2100's. https://www.un.org/en/acade...
