NOM

Bible media referrals were quite popular in the southern US on my mission in the 90s. We gave out a lot of generic KJV bibles with the red highlighted "jesus quotes".

Bait and switch to first discussion.

I have this fantasy that for stake visits my house gets chosen and he shows up so I can grill him over the fire with questions and ask him to heal my paralyzed neighbor. I'm guessing apostles don't stoop that low though.

First time saying no is the hardest, after which they eventually stop asking.

This is similar to the question of whether the GA's are in the know or acting on true belief. Victims or conspirators? Lots of speculation. Perhaps Emma believed Joe's hype at least initially and became trapped in the web.

Incidentally if he is also coming to your stake next week we should try and meet each other. Pretty sure I'm the only NOM here though.

Looks like the Silver fox is joining us for stake conference next weekend. Guess I will have to try and attend that one to see what all the excitement is about listening to a former airline pilot and corporate executive board member who still can't heal people.

Here is where the coffee and tea interpretation likely comes from or was "stolen" from: Although the revelations left many of the issues raised by Samuel Underhill and his Kendal Community (see chaps. 5, 7) unresolved, the growing Mormonite congregation continued to discuss these issues among themse...

What is the main instruction in the new training that is supposed to mitigate abuse?

The first thing that stood out to me like a huge sore thumb was how many of the apologists over there turned out to be lawyers!!! They were all saying that in their legal opinion the suit doesn't stand a chance. I wondered if ...

I think this is where the essays' real purpose will come into play. An attempt to reduce damages in lawsuits like these.

Advice on telling people you changed religions by Coach Kim on KSL: https://www.ksl.com/article/46615821/coach-kim-telling-your-family-you-changed-religions The funny thing about religion is there is no ultimate source of absolute truth about God or the afterlife. Even though people say they know th...

I think the irony lies in the fact that KSL employees like Deenie Wimmer and Ashley Kewish and the other reporters have to work on Sundays. God is pissed they don't shut down the station on the sabbath. Nah, they don't pay them for Sundays, so it is not work. Do they really all work pro-bono on Sun...

Great presentation. Really enjoyed it.

Was it interesting? I know Utah politics can be pretty easy to predict.
