Re: No more “tithing settlement…”
Turning the mundane into a miracle easier than Jebus turned water into wine. Then you churn your followers guilt, fear, hope and tribalism into billions of dollars in cash and investments. It's like Monsters Inc., where they churn fear and screams into energy for their economy. Also, the word "settl...

Re: Cannabis. What is my problem?
Thanks for showing that chart on the compounds Hagoth. I have a similar chart. I bought an expensive German device a couple years ago that allows for exact temperature settings to cook and vaporized flower and or concentrates. https://www.storz-bickel.com/en-us/devices/mighty-plus I like to cook a b...

Re: Baby Steps: I get to have more agency?!
I would avoid any conversations on it or it usually just turns defensive where each hunkers into their corner. I would instead, double down on being a great spouse. Don't give them any reason to make you out as a poster child for their Beelzebub. Your being a better husband and father should not be ...

Re: Cannabis. What is my problem?
I have a couple friends with this problem and even one of our daughters. Just can't find a place for this plant in their lives. The endocannabinoid system is complex and so are all the compounds in Mary Jane. I had been exposed to MJ clear back in 1977 when I was just entering JHS. The plants was pr...

Re: Major Depression Diagnosis by State
I read a study a few years ago linking the higher rates of depression in Utah to the high elevation. But the map above show CO as AOK, so why the difference? Legalized recreational jazz cabbage perhaps? I can personally attest from my experience and DWs experience of our 40+ yrs in TSCC that it did ...

Re: Mushrooms and Mysteries
Thanks a lot for posting this RH! Really helpful to know your experience. I'm definitely curious about this topic.

Re: Holy Fetch!
A big congrats Red! One suggestion I'll make is to give her some solid ground to land on, that being in nature. Get out of town, go to the mountains, find a lake, do some overnights/quality hours out in the great outside (preferably on a Sunday). Get to some dark skies and look at the Milky Way. Tho...

Greetings fellow Sapes! Just stopping by to see how you wonderful humans are doing and saw Hagoth post up on one of my favorite topics. What a great thread! I love the QnA going on here.

Re: FIGHT THE OLD DRUG: PURITY CULTURE
It's all a male heirarchy thing - hold males to the same standards as females, and that would take care of a lot of it. Equal in nurturing kids, equal in cooking and cleaning, equally yoked in providing and protecting. Me and mine are slowly moving there, no longer living in separate spheres. Naile...

Re: In tune with Satan?
Satan must get equal or even greater ground to God for TSCC to keep the minions in a correlated check. TSCC constantly reinforces obedience, compliance, guilt, fear, defining "love" and "sex" for everyone, what the "spirit" is and how it feels, telling you how you should feel in every aspect of your...

Re: Gendered God?
I guess the Bronze Age men who wrote the Bible found it pretty hard to imagine anything more powerful and impressive than a king on a throne who could cause lightning and earthquakes. If my personal experience counts for anything, I'd have to say that God is a multi-dimensional fractal jellyfish-li...

Re: Tales of Tithing Settlement
Hey, the Intergalactic Spaceship Nauvoo is not going to build itself. You will be paving the way for Missionaries in Space. Belters will just own that ship someday anyway. I think that will be a backdoor deal by TSCCorp. Then the top brass can collect the insurance and not have to drain anymore of ...

Re: Why are temples going Moroni-less ?
As a TBM I always had a bit of cogdis over the gold Moroni on top the temples, seemed a graven image to me, like the golden calf. Also, why the hell would TSCC be buying all that low lying land in FL with global warming?! I guess if they bought most of it more inland, the value could go up significa...

Re: Why does religion exist?
I think the previous posts here covered it quite well. Just a few brief thoughts: Tribalism is wired into our DNA. Religion and tribalism likely evolved together. Religion is a highly successful formula to control sapiens in groups larger than 10ish people, to try and ensure trust enough to make a f...

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?

Thanks for posting up that link. I'd love to get my MIL to stop paying tiths on her retirement income that was already tithed when it was earned! The widows mite should stay in her pocket and not Rusty's huge golden vault!

Has anything really changed? Definitely the valuables for the top brass are more hidden, placating handcart pullers with care and support at the local level now.
