That's a quick slide from sacred to sexy!

In the probable words of Joseph Smith Jr. "That's the best kind of slide!"

Question:

Where do dead prophets go after they die?

1.Telestial kingdom

2. Terrestrial kingdom

3. Celestial kingdom

None of the above......they go:

UNDER THE BUS!!!

But many of the BoA apologetics are weakened even further when you add the Book of Joseph (Ta-shert Min papyrus) to the mix. There is no missing scroll argument here, for one thing. The Joseph scroll reinforces many of the problems with the Abraham scroll: it has been translated and says nothing ab...

This one made me laugh, then cry, then laugh again.

Now that I am mentally out it seems creepy as hell that Mormons are preoccupied with each other's underwear. I have witnessed it many times, brother so and so shouldn't be wearing shorts that short because of his garments. Sister what's-her-bucket stayed in her yoga clothes too long. I personally he...

If going back and having my faith crisis earlier was an option that's the door I would choose! Like 18 would be sufficient.

DW is not interested in tithing settlement either.

Wow is this progress? or just avoidance of problems?

My DW scheduled us early and I went to our tithing settlement this year and pretended to gobble that crap up like a public toilet during halftime.

I am sorry to hear about your aunt. What a terrible thing for her to have to endure.

It wasn't on our radar either, until oldest DS and his wife asked if we were going to watch it. Then it got turned on. I noticed that DW and kids listened to and enjoyed the music, but totally tuned out, talked over, left the room etc. whenever someone started talking. I didn't hear more than two wo...

I thought Jonah's problem was that he was afraid of the Ninevites and that they wouldn't appreciate his message. Not that he thought he was better than them. Yes this is true, he was probably afraid of them, but even after he sort of waits around to watch God destroy them, but that doesn't necessar...

I read the Ensign article as well as the "references" cited in the ensign article. Its really just the same old apologetics, making rube-goldberg connections where there are none. It seems as though the church is now embracing them openly in the Ensign here though... Both of the references cited are...

My daughter is in my class until the end of the year. I am trying to teach good moral principles, and i mostly gloss over or skip entirely the mormony "stuff" I am consistently with a semi-active brother as my teaching companion, because frankly I am ALWAYS there and they want and anchor in each com...

Ask a Mormon if, instead of "LDS pioneers across the plains", they try out "Jaredite barges across the ocean". On the upside, it's a lot less walking. Just have a group of teens get inside a bit wooden box. Each of them will get a good flashlight since the Brother of Jared did provide glowing rocks...

Wow that's cool, and much more significant than what I hear as rock solid proof in Fast and Testimony meeting on the first Sunday each month.

Slavereeno thinks every marriage and sealing was all about sex for Joseph Smith. First of all, I would refer you friend to the official essay: Sealings for time and eternity included commitments and relationships during this life, generally including the possibility of sexual relations Eternity-onl...

I love this.

Pale Rider, thanks for this, in my response I mentioned Stockholm Syndrome also. aren't the earliest primary sources pretty solid in that Emma and Oliver were pretty pissed about Joseph having his fling with Fanny Alger, and it was likely sexual in nature? Ask him to take a step back and count all t...

Not weird at all that JS would be attracted to GILS (Grandmothers I'de Love to Seal).

Great, now that's going to be rolling around in my head next time polygamy gets brought up...

My Guess: Joseph made it all up. (I got that from Red Ryder)
