Re: Biggest changes in the church in your lifetime

Jeffrey mentioned correlation of finances, but a bigger part of correlation than just financial was making the relief society into nothing but a sham of a “women’s organization”. It is no longer a women’s organization but a men’s organization for their women folk. It is completely run by men now wher ...

Re: Make Lying Un-American.... Again?

I don’t know that this is in the wrong forum, because to my eyes, it applies to the church just a little too much. Do I need to put up examples of the lying from the church in recent years, let alone all the way back to con man Joseph Smith? Or what about other denominations who also engage in s ...

Re: Keeping up with Trump

There is good evidence that Trump is suffering from Alzheimer’s. There is an article by two psychologists that shows a video of him walking along the red carpet in Alaska where he obviously cannot walk in a straight line. It points out that he is swinging one leg wide, which causes him to veer one d ...

Re: Kings in America

Trump is selling hats with the slogan Trump in 2028 in the White House gift shop. The Quorum of the Twelve will declare that there is nothing in LDS doctrine to prohibit this and that they will take no position against this move. They will point out that the Constitution is purely a secular matter ...

Re: War in Heaven: The 3rd Party

The "War in Heaven" is fun to discuss with MORmON believers. The contradictions it invokes are "fun," as Hagoth has shown. Does anyone out there in NOM-land know anything about what other religious sects believe about the pre-earth-life "War?" Other Christian religions pretty much believe there was ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
