Re: So Many podcasts, so little time.

I only listen to religious-themed podcasts that involve jfro. I also get sucked in to a Mo-Sto podcast that sounds interesting here and there though... I spent way too many hours mired in apostate podcasts when I first discovered LD$-Inc.'s truth crisis. It helped a lot to know that I wasn't the onl...

I have a black leather bag from my mission that I keep my shoe polishing kit in. The temple name bags look just like my shoe polish bag, just in white "leather" instead of black.

Re: Temple Prayer Roll

Back in pre-historic times when I was attending Polygamy Palaces, when they pulled out the "Prayer Roll" it looked like they had stuffed all the names into a fancy tissue box. Maybe it's the Fancy Tissue Box™ that holds all the Magick power to help all the people who's names are "on the roll" in the...

Re: Temple Open House

I'm surprised they don't present all attendees with a list of "Approved Questions." (Here is the list of canned questions for which volunteers have been trained with canned answers...) I'm glad no-one invites me to these any more. You've seen one Polygamy Palace™, you've seen them all. I've wasted e...

Re: Reasons not to resign from church

Reason not to resign: If elderly parents find out, it will likely kill them.

I mean... I don't necessarily want to hang out with them a lot, but I don't want to kill them either. (Wait... Did I type that out-loud? :o )

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?

Well, according to Hugh Nibley, we're reading that story all wrong. It is actually describing a Mesoamerican ball game. So your BoM comic should have looked like this: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F474x%2F1f%2Faf%2Fab%2F1fafab0569deed4ec55bfd905232cc0a--...

Re: Mormons are disinterested in spirituality

I hope I don't offend any comic book aficionados out there, but I think Mormonism is to spirituality what comic books are to literature. I know of folks who will literally tell you that they "learned how to read" because of comic books. That makes comic books infinitely more important that MORmONis...

Re: Joseph Smith “sexual predator” label?

Now, if you go as far as defining whether or not Joseph was guilty of rape, you might have a quibble point. Is sex with a 14 year old statutory rape if she thinks she is married under God’s law? Um... I feel like we should mention that the encounter with the 14-year-old also happened "A few years b...

Brother Ryder:

Where does consent fit into your questions about the predator label?

What about coercion?
