Re: The Prophet and Apostles are out living their wives.
I can't count the number of times I have heard members claim that the longevity of The Brethren is evidence of their prophetic/apostolic calling, when in fact it is merely evidence of their access to a degree of healthcare and mollycoddling that the rest of us can't even comprehend. These are the st...

Re: The Prophet and Apostles are out living their wives.
Not to mention the lost sleep when you get woken up in the middle of the night by your husband kicking you out of the bedroom because he is getting a message from his priesthood antenna. And think how much work it was for poor Emma to move those heavy gold plates around so she could dust underneath...

Re: The Book of Mormon and Modern Conflict
Their view, in essence, was that the high number of Palestinian deaths is a consequence of war. This was the same response Timothy McVeigh gave for killing children in the Oklahoma City bombing. His analogy is that individual storm troopers and members of The Empire might not be bad people individu...

Respect
Is it just me, or do Mormon leaders seem to demand absolute respect for themselves and their belief system while being the least likely to extend a similar degree of respect to others?

Re: The Prophet and Apostles are out living their wives.
Yes, Taoism is the true religion. Just the stress of living in fear that you might shame yourself by accidently standing up before your husband in a meeting where thousands of people have come to adore him might be enough to make the difference. Because the husbands are totally consumed by such dema...

Re: Original Doctrines
….they believe women exist for the purpose of giving birth and being someone to rule over, not that women are fellow multidimensional humans walking the same hero’s journey as the (male) creator of the doctrine. The church makes a big deal of Heber C. Kimball being so heartbroken at the idea of hav...

Re: Strange Results from Heaven War
That may have prevented Rodin's The Kiss and The Thinker from being banned from their scheduled exhibition at BYU. That was so utterly ridiculous. It's a good thing they were never offered Michelangelo's David. Can't show his naughty bits, can't put him in garments. Apron? Nope, also too sacred. Di...

Only if you then put him in a suit to keep the garments out of sight and mind. They are sacred but not secret. Except that they are also secret.

Re: Happy Fam's Day
Wasn't it Parley Pratt who suggest that before long the church's missionary efforts would expand to include the moon and other planets? IIRC he said it just depended on how soon they could come up with some sort of vessel to convey missionaries to those new districts.

Re: Evolution of God.

Re: Work for Neanderthal Dead
The easy answer is that the Official Children of God™ line began with Adam and Eve 6000 years ago. All of those other beings are part of the big mystery of God that we won't learn about in this life. I'm gonna say the eventual answer, if they were forced to come up with one, would be something like:...

Re: New Spaulding Theory?
I think it's much more likely snippets of some of these things picked up at Dartmouth by Hyrum were mentioned at family gatherings or in talking to JS and made themselves into the BOM. I think you're right, and we should see it as an illustration of how much the Kirtchner/John Smith/Spaulding world...

If that's the case with you too, Stuck, I says dunk him and then take him out for ice cream. Both activities will make people happy.

Re: Psychics & Ballards
We have Mormon friends here who have a Mormon "seeing holistic healer" who, over the phone, diagnosed the herbal deficiency that was causing the wife's hip problem from 110 miles away. "She's amazing", said the wife. I'm seeing more of this lately. Our RS president has an "energy healer." I'm wonde...
