Re: How do Religion based government compare to secular based?

Re: JS Polygamy deniers?

Either way one picks to look at the polygamy problem, there is a problem. It is a pick your poison proposition if one wants to believe the church is true. We are told the Lord will never allow the prophet to lead the church astray, then we have to pick who to throw under the bus. The church picks ...

Re: The length some people go to

Thank you everyone. You guys are still my people, even though I am not posting much or even here very often. Daughter in law is sleeping almost all the time now. She probably only has a few more days. It is so hard to bury your children and this one is my daughter more than the woman who gave birth ...

The length some people go to

To maintain their denial. We have a situation in which my daughter is forced to deal with her in laws. Well, OK, I’ll get to the situation AFTER I tell the funny story about the parents of my daughter in law (lesbian) and her sibling. But yes, several things going on with the situation and it may be ...

Re: Martinsburg WV Sex Abuse Settlement Details Leaked

The Good Samaritan did not go chasing after the robbers to get them to repent and leave the man on the roadside to die. The Good Samaritan saw to the injured man. And he let God see to the sinner. The church does it the other way around. They only care about the repentance of the sinner and leave ...

Re: Temple Cafeterias Returning with Chick-fil-A Partnership

Is this related to money changers in the temple? Odd bedfellows, as most of the right wing religions consider us to be non Christian. On the other hand, even my TBM husband boycotts them because of their political stupidity. I read it to him and he just said that even being inside the temple doesn’t ...

Re: Martinsburg WV Sex Abuse Settlement Details Leaked

Once again, the church had a duty to report because their knowledge of abuse came from victims telling their parents, not confession. But the church seems like it thinks it is easier to repent for the perpetrator if they are not punished by the law. So, they talk to the perp, telling him to repent ...

Re: Mormons to ban LQBTQ+ Flag

I think this was just plain dumb what the state legislature did. I am a supporter of LGBTQ people. To be transparent, I was not a fan of gays commandeering the rainbow. I used to have a rainbow air freshener on my rear view mirror and so there was that problem. I recommend LGBTQ do another takeover ...

Re: Negotiating with Reality.

The more time you spend trying to prove to others that you are correct, the more likely that you are wrong.

Church that sends out missionaries, more likely wrong.
Trump throwing his weight around to prove he is strong, most likely weak.

I am not quite as cynical as Nibbler. I just think this is a case of wanting to bully just to see if they get away with it. Throwing their weight around just to prove they can sort of thing with no “evil plan” behind it. On second thought, maybe that’s worse than nibbler’s theory of having some purpo ...

It is my country, right or wrong because when it is wrong, I can openly disagree and vote against them. Well, at least before Trump I could. Now it could cost me my job or social security.
