Mrs. Græy came home from the walk and nearly broke down into tears asking me why polygamy didn't bother her. And then she continued from there... "Why doesn't church history bother me?" "How can I hear and read so much about what really happened and still go about as if nothing has changed?" I gave...

But somehow, vinyl is still thriving and I'm still buying it. From my first Boston album in 1977 to the latest artists; if it's an album I love I'll buy it on vinyl and we spin several of them every week.

Technology- has it ruined music?

Not yet.

Not completely.

There are still some "old-school" folks out there.



Give it some time though, and technology might complete the ruining.

Maybe we're missing the point. Has anyone asked Bing Chat AI what It's definition of True™ is? :shock: (Also: Maybe tell It to ignore sources from LD$-Inc.) Edit: Also Hagoth: If you remember the exact question you asked Bing Chat AI, you should try posing the same question to ChatGPT. Scientificall...

Wow.

So Holy the Ghost can "bear witness" to Bing Chat AI?

Maybe Bing Chat AI has been fasting, praying, and paying 15% tithing so the Ghost constantly dwelleth within it's circuitry?

"The church" was born out of secrets. Nothing has changed that in almost 200 years. Joseph started out as a treasure digger. Does anyone think he had an ad in the local newspaper "Want Ads" offering his services? I doubt it. As we know, glass-looking was illegal, so Joseph's first "career" had to be...

It would be interesting to know how far "back" LD$-Inc.™ keeps records of the donations of us peasants. Is there some sort of law where they have to keep a certain number of years on record for tax ( exempt ) purposes? If they do in fact keep peasant records for eternity, I'm sure it would cost a lo...

“Ribeye Presidents”

To be clear: That is blatantly plagiarized from a user on some other website.

Ok. By raise of hands, how many folks here think that Nemo himself actually believes that letters to Ribeye Presidents would actually result in a "disciplinary council" for the top 3 stooges of LD$-Inc. ? Anyone? Anyone? Nah. It's just a funny/creative way to point out the blatant hypocricy of the t...

2. How likely is it that the board of directors will demand an immediate super secret ex-communication of Brother Nemo before its April Conference? Once again shooting themselves in the foot by showing their true colors. I hope they do. The one thing they have no tolerance for is truth-speakers. An...

I value accuracy and truth over opinion, so if I'm wrong, and there is data to support that I'm wrong, I appreciate knowing about it, so I can then adjust my thinking and make corrections and apologies as needed.

Me too.

Thanks for your reply.

You know how people pressure on you to learn something new every time I go to the temple? I regret never having said, "Today I learned that it's all BS." (aside: our poor neighbor's husband who makes her report the new thing she learned each time. Talk about pressure!) "Today I learned the quickest...

I stand corrected. ... Cnsl1: I hope I didn't "offend" you with my post. I wasn't necessarily trying to call you out. I have seen several posts elsewhere asking "who" stated that the fraud was committed to hide tithing funds from members. I literally randomly found that screenshot over on that othe...

Everything is literal, until it isn't, then it's metaphorical/symbolic? How do you know what is which and when? It depends. If someone is asking a question, then "leadership" chooses the option that answers that question. The most important use of this flip-flopping is when giving a different answer...

No where does the church or Ensign Peak say a reason for hiding this money was a fear that people would stop paying tithing. That is an assumption that others have made. ...

Meanwhile, somewhere else on the internet:

... Will they hit harder on the need to pay tithing in an attempt to stem the flow? Will they back off and completely avoid the topic? Sentence 1: Yes. Always focus on paying more to the corporation. Sentence 2: Avoid which topic? They'd never avoid encouraging the payment of Polygamy Palace Dues, ...

Nephi killing Laban: Mistake. That's as much brainpower as I want to spend on BoM prophets making mistakes, I'm sure I could think of others. And the list of Joseph Smith's mistakes beyond the 116 pages? That list might be endless. That same endless list applies to every MORmON "prophet" since Joe. ...

I saw this on another forum. Thought it was brilliant: So if a person creates 13 aliases under which they commit all their sinning, can they still get a Temple recommend in their actual name? Why not just lie? It’s the same thing. Case Closed! (With either proposed temple recommend acquisition meth...

What is your ultimate desire for religion? Should all religions fall and people recognize that all religion is man made? Without religion, what would humankind replace religion with? What if humankind spent more time with science and reality and less time with religion and make believe? Less ignori...

You are amazing græy-bispo.

I never remember really "enjoying" any of the callings I had while actively believing attender; I can't imagine bishop-ing in your situation.

Looking forward to more returning and reporting.
