It would be very interesting to see someone with a "checkered past" actually ascend in to the ranks of MORmON royalty. As mentioned, it's highly unlikely. They have plenty of semi-celebrities to fawn over who have "Alma" stories: The tattooed MORmON and Tom Christofferson spring to mind for me, and ...
... Why hasn't lds.org come up with an essay justifying this official belief in Bible fundamentalism? Surely they could play "plain and precious parts removed" card in combination with historicity of the BOM world view. But they haven't done it. They just leave the rationalization to FAIR. Any insi...
Who remembers the hoopla that LD$-Inc. made about the April 2020 General Conference? Rusty and the other 14 stooges made a big deal out of coming up with a new "Proclamation." The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Funny. Rusty's own university has now proclaimed that his big, ...
"Black or white magic" What's the difference? The color of the magician's hat? ;) White magic is the “good” kind and black magic is the “bad” kind. “Bad” magic is like summoning demons and the “good” kind is like sending Dorthy back to Kansas. “Bad” is done by witches with green faces and “good is ...
“We're witnesses to a process of restoration,” said the prophet. “If you think the Church has been fully restored, you're just seeing the beginning. There is much more to come. … Wait till next year. And then the next year. Eat your vitamin pills. Get your rest. It's going to be exciting.” The Ongo...

One of the most powerful spiritual experiences of my life told me to marry my now ex-wife. It's obvious how that turned out. Sometimes those hormone rushes lead to good things, and sometimes they lead to bad things. I think they tend to lead to good more often just because almost any decision usual...
... Is this just me being wacky, or is there something to it? Honestly, I had to read through your post multiple times and the do some ponderizing before much really sunk in. Maybe because I almost immediately jump to being self-aware as "consciousness." Nope. While those two things may be componen...
What was life like in Zion before you were born? Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc5N5cxcfFo Wow, so much of that stuff is still here. I really enjoyed the Saltaire footage. The train track grade is still there and I always wondered what kind of vehicle ran on it. I was thinking a hors...
... While giving the blessing I felt very “moved” by the spirit. ... My Fluffy logic tells me that "feeling the spirit" is the normal emotion of any decent human being who knows and experiences empathy. Just speaking worlds of encouragement out loud to another human being - whether done with hands ...
... Based on what I recall, the format was much different and there was a lot of green.. the color green. Maybe some pics of plants or forest? ... You're not wrong. OldNom.jpg There's quite a bit of "stuff" from NOM 1.0 out on archive.org for those who want to reminisce. And may I add my thanks to ...
... The background the the picture through the window does not look like SLC. The apartment building and other buildings look more like Europe, so good chance this picture was taken years ago in Germany and the coffee pot is a German model and we won’t find the exact picture. ... That looks like SL...
I chatted with a friend today who's brother lived a couple houses down from the Haight family in Enoch. The brother's family knew the Haight family well, and according to the brother, the outcome of this situation was not a complete surprise. Let's just say that those who truly knew the Haight famil...
... Any chance this whole disaster was precipitated by a faith crisis? ... I have read in multiple places / articles that there were previous issues with domestic violence with this family/home that the authorities are not really "talking about." In other words: police had been called to the home "...
