Re: Garments always hanging out and it drives me nuts

...women's clothing can be very tricky to find anything that is "modest" enough to cover them... Some women in my ward compensate by wearing "modest" length clothing that is VERY tight and revealing. That word "modest" has such a specific meaning in Mormonism that is totally alien to the rest of th...

How many plates?

How many gold plates contained the Book of Mormon? Let's see. Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer all claimed the bound stack of plates was about 6 inches thick and that approximately 2/3 of them were sealed. Martin Harris said they were about 4 inches thick and half were sealed. So, all...

Re: Garments always hanging out and it drives me nuts

I think this may be because they are such a pain to get replacements for. I think it is just as much about the problem of getting rid of them. Despite all of the instruction about how and when to wear your garments, there is never any specific information given about when to stop wearing them and h...

Re: Are you ready for Moroni Day?

Is the first truly recorded, detailed account of this visit from the 1838 history? I know there are allusions to spiritual visitors, but I cant remember this account being in any detail before that. Which of course is amazing given how backdated all of it is, not that members care... i just saw a l...

Re: Reintroduction and Star Wars Analogy

Welcome back, Sinister Simian! And thanks for sharing your story. Till eventually i was in the Bishops office being questioned on why i wasn't paying tithing and i came clean and told him about my earnest prayers and what the spirit guided me to do. He basically told me to ignore the spirit and obey...

I just discovered this:

FLOODLIT.org reports on sexual abuse cases involving members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).

The one place the LDS church will NEVER build a temple. I mean, besides the temple lot in Missouri.

My favorite Moroni Day tradition is putting on brown-face and watching the Moroni's Lament music video, by "I Heard Him Come" writer Jeff Goodrich.
Ooh. Chills.

Are you ready for Moroni Day?

Tomorrow, Sept 21, marks the 200th anniversary of the day a treasure guardian spirit stood in a pillar of light as bright as the sun in the bedroom of five boys in an Upper State New York Cabin and spoke in the booming voice of an angel for hours on end, but failed to wake four of them up. Many memb...

Here's another fantasy scenario that would be hilarious. All of the alt-Right Mormons split from the main church to follow Tim and his psychic.

Re: Garments always hanging out and it drives me nuts

I know I'm horrible, but I wish there was an easy way to be able to ask to not have them hanging out... but I know that would lead to a fight. I used to roll up my waistband to keep them from handing below my shorts but I was reprimanded for "modifying" them contrary to my covenant. The other annoy...

Re: What's the story with Tim Ballard?

I keep seeing comments from faithful members standing up for Tim Ballard and his fight against evil. Meanwhile, this sh*t is going on pretty much every day in their church and no one seems to show any interest:

Hagoth, has there been any thought of hiring an LDS psychic to channel Moroni and see if there are any Gold Plates buried in Sandy or Draper?
Yeah, and we almost had it but it slipped deeper into that ground.
