Re: Elder Holland passes on.

I wonder if Holland ended up in Spirit Prison, but he thinks it's just another Wrong Roads thing, and he's waiting for God to put him on the right road.

Re: Polygamy deniers are so close to the truth.

Polygamy deniers are Mormondom's equivalent to flat earthers. In fact, I bet there is a higher than normal percentage of globe deniers among the polygamy deniers.

Re: Unusual Mission Call

Is the Swahili ward going to be moved to a prison camp? That would be an interesting mission.

Re: Elder Holland passes on.

So what you're saying is that if the cards fall "right" we could be looking at a Bednar presidency that lasts two decades or more. That would be great for the church, by which I mean it will make it smaller an more homogenous as an unprecedented number of once-faithful members make a beeline for ...

The legalistic Oaks era has begun

Remember when it was a victory for Satan to use the word Mormon, and church members were told to avoid it like a thing of pure evil? Suddenly podcasters and bloggers are getting letters from church lawyers demanding that they stop using the word "Mormon." The reason? It's OUR trademark and you're ...

Re: Offering a trade to apologists

I'm not an apologist, and I do see those two examples as comparable. I am convinced a lot of our differences are motivated by something other than the facts or data. Some things that we all are affected by: Bias and Pride, for example. Facts alone will not convince an opponent. Facts coupled with ...

Re: Pornography and the eye of the beholder

So penises are evil, but a woman's breast is perfectly fine? Man, there is some weird sexism with their definition of pornography. Insert a reference to the movie ZARDOZ here... Although there are certainly exceptions, Greek art usually has men naked and women clothed. Ha. I saw Zardoz at the drive ...

Re: Where's the beef (artifacts)?!

The Etruscan civilization was a proto-Roman society that is a good comparison to the Nephites in size, time period, influence and material culture. There are many museums filled with their artifacts: https://www.romecabs.com/upload/CONF99/20210930/Etruscan_Museums_Vatican__Etruscan_Tours_in_Italy ...

Offering a trade to apologists

Hey BoM apologists. You tell me that three of these South Arabic letters (can you find 'em?) are the Hebrew equivalent to NHM, which you say spells Nahom, which you claim is the location described in the BoM. Kinda seems like a not-all-that-impressive coincidence to me. https://imgs.search.brave.com ...

Mrs. Hagoth was sharing travel notes with a TBM neighbor. The neighbor (mother of one of the newest GAs) talked about what a horrible experience they had visiting Athens.

I find it interesting that we found the site of Troy, the city from the Homer's The Illiad . We don't know if there really was a giant wooden horse, but we know where the city was. For the BOM, a book supposed not even as old as The Illiand , we sure don't have any evidence of anything that it ...

Re: The wacky world of Martin Harris

Thanks for all the interesting history Hagoth. It seems to me that Martin Harris' support for the early church is a big blow to it's credibility. Like my conspiracy theory-believing dad's support for the current church was a big blow to my view of it's credibility... Yeah, church members never hear ...

The wacky world of Martin Harris

The Mormonism Live discussion of Martin Harris is very entertaining and well worth the listen. There are some interesting points they overlooked regarding the Harris/Anthon encounter that I think are worth mentioning: -The story we have in church history is not Martin's first person account. It is a ...

Do you ever have moments when you think there is a possibility that Hinduism, or Buddhism, or Daoism is true?
