I think deep down she knows the issues are there from when we talked about it way back when, but if you don't look at them you can keep the worries at bay. Hmm... More of a, "If I don't look at it, it isn't there." type, I guess. You never know. Someday she might get a close look at the inner worki...

Hate to be the one to break it to you but the Proclamation has been official Church doctrine since 1995. Was that put up for a sustaining vote as being canonized or just kind of quietly considered doctrinal? I don't recall. Yeah, a Proclamation to the WORLD, from the PROPHET and his Apostles, publi...

Please give me a specific list of which sins you are assigning to me that are making me incapable of feeling the spirit. lol wut? ETA: If you want real meme territory it's to discount someone's life to something as inane as "they weren't following the commandments." But you weren’t, were you? Oh, k...

it's just not skin colour or physical bodies, but also what country you are born into! HBL seems like a nice guy. https://i.redd.it/9cs6kf7yxnxy.jpg Never knew H.B.Lee said this. It's pretty twisted and truly demonstrates the branches of false doctrine that have been and still are grafted into this...

Jim Jones and cults... she then said she doesn't know a lot about their history and I said it's good to learn how that happened and to read about how the people bought into it, and she said reading about it makes her uncomfortable..... The only reason that would make her feel uncomfortable is becau...

I think I confused Mormon Dialogue with Mormon Discussions. I thought it was Mormon Dialogue that had been shut down. Sorry....

So was it someone from Mormon discussions making these comments to kids on "Mormon Talk"? I'm not sure I'm following here. Is Mormon Talk something available online for anyone to participate or is "Twitch" some sort of closed chat room type of set up? If anything, Shades was promoting the show. The...

It was a ritual over there, with Dr Shades leading the charge and bumping the thread every time the show was on. The show is/was on a video game streaming platform primarily used by kids and young people, making it even more disturbing. His username on Twitch was DrShades1. I'm sorry. I'm an old gu...

Yep, I almost laughed yesterday when, who was it, Rasband?, stated that Joseph learned about the true character of God from the first vision. If he had truly learned about the character of God in the first vision he would have known that the BoM doctrine about God was incorrect when he translated i...

I could go on and on, but the most damning thing of all to me is that not only did Joseph Smith present a trinitarian/modlastic view of God in the Book of Mormon, but when he "translated" the Bible he actually went out of his way to *strengthen* the trinity. If he saw God and Jesus, why in the #$%#...

As I recall, Joseph did mention A vision to friends or family. Which was supposedly the visitation of Moroni. The church has tried to conflate any early recollections of angelic "visions" with the later fabricated First Vision. I don't believe there are any early recollections from Joseph's aquainte...

You first.

Exactly. By "we" he didn't mean the church, he meant "you."

Beat me to it...

Not only did the BoM need translating but so do it's offspring.

Yep, he really said that. I had flashbacks of the old non-doctrinal doctrine regarding why blacks were restricted from the priesthood. But I thought they were trying hard to bury that non-doctrinal doctrine. So big surprise that Oaks would drag that thing back out from under the rug. I would bet the...

As they say, the brethren have never been so United as they now are......and this pic proves it.

I liked Dieter’s talk the best.... Hmm, I thought his talk was just a worse version of his October 2013 one. That one seemed much more compassionate; this one compared people leaving the church to naughty children throwing a tantrum and "running away from home," only to come crying back when they r...

ummm...they left the church because it is TOXIC not because they are some kind of petulant child

This!!!

-100 For equating us with naughty children while you who can't face the truth about your own church history claim to be the grown-ups.

Hark when the night is falling Hear! Hear the pipes are calling, Loudly and proudly calling Down thro' the glen. There where the hills are..... Wow! we culturally appropriated a Scottish song. :? Yep. I thought it was Celtic of some sort when I heard it played on bagpipes one time. LDS.com has fore...
