More inoculation by dropping hints of polyandry? Most members won't do a search for background on the story. I wouldn't have. I was all about focusing on the spiritual principals and doctrines. A story's greatest purpose is to communicate spiritual truths. Even though Renlund doesn't go into details...

I'm late to the party, but I just have to say my favorite part was when Andersen basically said that God intentionally offs the apostles He doesn't want to become prophet. :lol: Might makes right! When God kills someone it is good. If I were to kill someone (for any reason besides self-defence) it ...

While this change does exist, it is really tiny. There were some parents that requested to be present for interviews before. From the anecdotes I heard, most bishops were understanding. But some crazy bishops would threaten not give the youth a temple recommend or advance in the youth program if the...

I have it on some authority that you can have this conversation with NewNameNoah (the guy who filmed the temple videos) and he might be able to get a recommend to you.

When the missionary age was lowered they advertised the broadcast as an "historic" event that we wouldn't want to miss and I swallowed the hook like a fat ugly fish-farmed catfish fully believing somethin...

I think coffee might be a secret cousin of chocolate. Its that delicious. Agree. Also, I once had a beverage made from brewed, roasted cocoa beans, called "choffee." It was pretty amazing. I know a TBM who has brewed this "choffee". Didn't know that was what it was called. Maybe if I'm super nice t...

I have lots of snarky thoughts but I am usually not confrontational. I think my ideal temple recommend interview would go something like this...

Bishop: I hear your brother is getting married. Would you like a temple recommend?

Me: Yes, please.

Bishop: Here you go.

Me!

I think you meant Friday, March 30th. Otherwise, I requested the wrong day off from work.

About a year and half ago I had the audacity to not honoring the sabbath and breaking the Word of Wisdom. I walked to Smith's and purchased some chilled coffee. I then enjoyed it at a nearby empty park. It was excellent. I think coffee might be a secret cousin of chocolate. Its that delicious. I am ...
