Re: The Church of Climate Change in these Latter Days

In your personal common sense opinion, would the earth be better off with the atmosphere having a CO2 level of 200 ppm or 800 ppm? My personal common sense: - emissions from petro-based fuels is unsustainable and unhealthy for all living things on the planet (crappy air quality crappy life) - the p...

The reason I say this is because the field of climate science is still in its infancy stage and has a very long way to go before it is fully developed.

What is your background and expertise that allow you to make this judgment? What qualifies a science as infantile or developed?

Re: Thom Harrison and "Visions of Glory"

I just squirted an evil spirit... Oh my gods! I'm just over 3 hours into this podcast and it just gets crazier as it goes. You can't make this crazy $hit up! The culture of my mormon life here behind the Zion curtain, the culty corporation I lived in for so many years, just continues to surprise me ...

Re: A Uchtdorf rise to the Prophetic throne is reasonable.

Uchtdorf stands as one of those restore the Church potentialities rather than one who assists it into steady decline. Depends on what you mean by "restore". Or what he would restore it to. I don't think there's much that can be done to halt it's steady decline. I'm secretly hoping Oaks will make it...

Re: Elder Ballard has died

A former state legislator observed to me that it seemed VERY convenient just before he had to give depositions. Maybe Thom Harrison or one of his gang saw evil spirits entering through the invisible hole in the top of Elder Ballard's head, and got the message out that it would be a favor to him to ...

Re: Testimonies and Idol Worship

When children, adolescents, or adults bear their testimonies, what is being done? You may hear "beyond a shadow of a doubt" or "I know this church is true" so many times you begin to pair the speakers with the sacred yet personal truths they are going through. This can be very dangerous unless you ...

Re: Fight The New Drug

Do not worship the human form, man or woman, or any beast or thing, instead of worshipping the living God. Everything on Earth is a tool and a gift. To bow to any other person or thing is dishonoring the creator. Give reverence to God in all things and for all creation. How many elders in the churc...

The fear of genital removal really is problematic only for men. The ability to spiritually procreate and populate endless planets is sold as a reward. Gonna need that penis because it’s a tool for success.
So that's the real reason dear leaders put Min's penis back on in the BoA!

What comes to mind when I hear that scripture, the practice the Catholic church started with the celibacy of their clergy. The idea that you are married to the church and none other. The mormonism madness is just that: a little mystery (gods ways are not your ways) to create some wow factor and spec...
