Re: Writer excommunicated during ‘September Six’ purge loses her bid to rejoin the LDS Church
Everyone, please remember... it is not a church, it's a massively wealthy Babylonian real estate corporation masquerading as a religion. As such, we shouldn't be shocked when we hear or learn about actions that are unethical, dishonest, immoral, unforgiving, incompassionate, judgmental, heartless or...

Re: Green tea is officially bad for you, against WoW
TSCC is against medical marijuana because it has stock in big pharma. The WOW is a joke - members can drink soda and energy drinks out the yin yang until they get diabetes, heart arrhythmia, obesity, depletion of bone density, teeth problems, etc. while coffee and tea are prohibited, both of which a...

Re: Elder Snow: Race essay was intentionally ambiguous
All the essays are worded to be ambiguous - this way they can say they're trying to be more transparent with the truth while stopping short of creating real doubt and questions in a TBM's mind.

Re: New WOW Video
Ug...after reading all the sappy crappy comments on the video I couldn't stand it. I'll probably regret this but I just posted this on there: Just love how these videos gloss over the details, like how the Saints drank alcohol, even made it and sold it in the Salt Lake valley, long after JS was gon...

Re: The sacrament and baptism
From a Christian perspective I think the sacrament or the Lord's supper is encouraged/ expected when viewed from the Biblical scriptures. "This do in remembrance of me." It's obvious that no "religion" has the current authority to claim exclusivity in the performance of that rite. Only that the pat...

The sacrament and baptism
OK, so it's obvious the church isn't what it claims to be given all of the information that has surfaced on the character of Joseph Smith and how the church is basically nothing more than a massively wealthy Babylonian real-estate corporation masquerading as a religion and so where does this leave b...

Re: Thoughts on tithing
Do you suspect there may be elements of an obsessive-compulsive disorder going on here? Or just a gold old-fashioned mormon guilt/shame and over-compensation complex. I confronted her about this and it did not go well. I admit I did not handle it well. We have had other marital issues in addition t...

Re: church opposition to the Equality Act
While providing extremely broad protections for LGBT rights, the Equality Act provides no protections for religious freedom.

Re: No more year wait for sealing after civil marriage!
A rather interesting turn of events - for the last year or so the rumor was that the church was getting out of the marriage business altogether as a way to protect itself from ever having to do gay marriages but looks like that isn't on the radar yet, even though in every other country on the planet...
