Re: Fiona Givens and BYU

The early church leaders use to teach that god and jesus where polygamists to justify it.

I think satan had a few extra wives also.

Re: Fiona Givens and BYU

I think the dont talk about because there could be many heavily mothers, because it is highly likely that god is a polygamist. Can you imagine one woman producing that many spirit children?

Re: Anti-Catholic Litertature Wanted

Re: Have you had this experience? Care to share?

I have had similar things happen. I was reading D&C 132 and had this overwhelming impression that the church is totally made up. I later confirmed it through Google searches.

This is the approach i take also. Ive tried to limit the indoctrination of my kids and it caused some serio...

Sacrament topic; Joseph Smithmas.

Ive only gone to sacrament meeting a few times this year, somehow each time the topic is about how awesome Joseph Smith is/was. It seems the church is really focusing its efforts on building credibility with joseph. One speaker said he really has a problem with Joseph's follies but goes on to to rel...

Re: The Rebranding of Revelation

God is offended if nick names are used for his church according to RMN, and the use had slowly crept in over the years. Dogma is what has crept into the church. So RMN, if he is right about this, just confirmed that god is a passive aggressive god, he has been pissed off at all the other prophets fo...
