Re: Ward and Stake Combining

I'm not looking forward to a bunch of new faces who may not know to just smile and say hi... My ward combined with another a few years before COVID when I still attended. I would have liked to get to know the additional people better as they are our neighbors, just in another direction (I'm also in ...

Re: BoM "in a different realm"

I wonder if the next step is to have the BOM story happen on another planet. The planet would need it's own place called Jerusalem for people to migrate from, but not it's own Christ, since the atonement that happened on our planet is supposed to be infinite and apply to all worlds. Then, of course ...

Re: The Road not taken. by Robert Frost.

Another poetry lover here. Your post sent me on a quest for my favorite anthology called The Best Loved Poems of the American People. I think all the poets mentioned on this thread are represented in that volume. Happily I found it. The composer Randall Thompson chose a set of poems by Frost to put ...

Seriously. That would explain a lot. They could keep deep faking until he's 115 with AI.
As long as it keeps Oaks from taking charge, I'm all for it!!! :lol:
Then do the same with Uchdorf until Susan's husband goes. This could be inspired tech.

Good makeup work. Great tan on a 99 year old. Looks surprisingly well for his age given how unforgiving 4K cameras can be.

+50 for the organist for pulling out the big stops. That is a fine instrument. You can buy anything in this world with money.

I'll give him some credit for using a teaching of Jesus as the foundation. +5.

He almost made a good point but he had to play both sides against the middle.

I've often thought the Conference Center could fit a Space Mountain sized indoor roller coaster inside along with several simulation rides. Cumora Coaster and Wings Over Moab and probably a few more.

Re: The usefulness of prophets

I suppose prophets would be a very useful thing if they actually existed. As far as I can tell, the opinion of the average Man on the Street is exactly as useful as Russel M. Nelson's. They have spent and continue to expand great efforts to lower our expectations of what prophets actually are in ...

I'm glad our admins are reasonably committed to not doing a Thayne repeat. This board still feels more like home to me than others. I don't fit the vibe of exmo Reddit, in fact I consider it a success if my comments there get equal up and down votes. Then it feels like I might actually be ...

Re: Feelin the feels.

In Mormonism we often get the stories of someone getting an impression that someone else, and even someone unknown to the one with the impression, is in need of assistance. I tend to accept that we may well have avenue of communication between us that or science has yet to study in depth. Where I ...
