I've heard this explanation from Fair before and found it very satisfactory. In my own mind I bent this hoop even wider with the thought that the word "chariot" is just a borrowed name that the Hebrew/Egyptian cultures had aqcuired from the diasporan explorers that were scattered to the East Indian ...

All I can say is, there's nothing more dangerous than a salesman who is mis-informed or believes his own crap.

I think this issue is one of the main reasons the book of Job was written. Job had more than just wealth. He had a great family, good fortune and health. All of his friends regarded him as favored by God because of his righteousness. When he lost everything, the automatic assumption by his friends w...

I was raised by a mother who highly valued honesty. She had a highly accurate B.S. meter. She always told me that if I didn't tell the truth things would be much worse than if I had. Especially if she found out about it which was very likely. When I was 15 years of age, three of my friends and I dec...

Fools and horses lead the Church.

Except horses can be taught....

Wait....I'm a little confused. If Lehi left in 600 BC, which was 3-4 years before King Zedekiah was placed on the throne, then wouldn't it be impossible for Lehi to know about Zedekiah's reign? He wouldn't have been there for the commencement. Therefore Zedekiah shouldn't be in the BoM at all, right...

Just to add to the pot... Nephi states that the brass plates contained many of the holy prophecies until the commencement of the reign of Zedekiah: "And also a record of the Jews from the beginning, even down to the commencement of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah." So in order for the brass pla...

But my new question is: Did Lehi leave in 600BC as 1st Nephi 2:4 and the whole BOM suggests or sometime around 597-5, as the wikipedia chronology (which must have some scholarly basis) suggests would have been the actual first year of Zedekiah's reign. Some poor apologist out there wants so badly t...

So glad I don't have to worry about this crap anymore.... :| ..... :) It does seem like the second annointing and tied to polygamy, but the wording is so screwy... This is one of the reasons I know this stuff is phony. Joseph is supposed to be restoring the plain and precious parts of the Gospel, r...

So glad I don't have to worry about this crap anymore.... .....

Good job Caylee! You successfully ran away from all that uncomfortable and painful cogdis and got sucked right back into the tribe so you didn't have to face all those awful scary facts! The truth is...you are a coward and took the easier path, thus making yourself the perfect poster child for TSCC...

That is awful and that is exactly the kind of nonsense that makes me hate what the church is doing to doubters. She says, “I couldn’t determine what was from God and what was a crazy idea twisted and created by someone to throw me off. I could no longer discern what was truth and what was deception...

They are definitely calling this a change in "tradition and policy". http://www.ldsliving.com/Church-Leaders-Eliminate-Year-Long-Wait-Period-for-Temple-Sealing-Following-Marriage/s/90780?utm_source=ldsliving&utm_medium=email Which makes one wonder who's bright idea it was in the beginning or if it w...

Technically the phrase stating that the couple are "sealed" to one another isn't used. As you stated the officiator does marry them for "time and all eternity", and blessings are sealed upon them both. Just another case where the promises the church puts forth are compromised by the actual verbiage ...

Just doing some Biblical study of 1 Corinthians 13 today and looked at a number of different translations. In defining "Charity" in verse five, almost 80% of the translations include the phrase that Charity doesn't keep track of wrongdoings. From King James 2000 edition: " (Charity) Does not behave ...

The new podcast is up regarding the SCMC! https://mormondiscussionpodcast.org/2019/05/radio-free-mormon-064-spying-for-the-lord/ I decided to call it, "Spying for the Lord." Weird Alma was kind enough to let me use one of his songs to close with. It is dynamite! Looking at this title reminded me th...

After considering the SCMC issue today it just reminds me more and more of the Scientology cult. One begins to realize you're really dealing with a group of paranoid, narcissistic geriatrics. It doesn't matter anymore whether they are lying about what they truly believe or whether they're utterly br...

Crap this really makes me want my tithing back....

Im sure that will help the poor in London !!!!!! Not.

Right, I'm pretty sure someone is helping themselves. It is important after all to follow the profit.

Consiglieri, that is about as close to sticking your head in the lion's mouth and coming out alive as a person can get. On TV the big cats always look warm and fuzzy. In reality and in person, they can be extremely ferocious. To the church RFM looks like a hyena that needs a good clipping. Can you i...
