I just finished the selection of Zen writings edited by William Barrett, and I was astonished at how fascinating it was! This would make sensational Priesthood Meeting material except for one mosquito in the soup. It wouldn't validate the Angel Moroni and it would certainly make Russell M. Nelson at...

I am but you are not too far away either.....I mean, we're talkin food here man....

I predict a new book of scripture announced, due to the angel Jan-moor-exilint from ancient India bringing an ancient papyrus from India for RMN to translate vie looking into his napkin while it is in his suit pocket, which will show what words to say to his scribe Elder Holland, who will remain clu...

What do you mean IF the church went on trial? It's already on trial, and we are the Prosecution. The Internet is the Prosecution. All the church has is Kirton McConkie.....

Yeah. Idaho dudes gotta stick together. We be profound.

Idaho dudes need to get together and do lunch or even dinner!!!

Wow Pale Rider! What a fantastic response! Thanks for sharing your ideas, and I think you are attempting to say more or less the same thing I am with a bit of a different thrust, but very excellent. I enjoyed reading that.

I haven't seen this You Tube video interview up yet, here on these message boards I mean, but think it is interesting to note that Givens is turning to the LDS Egyptologists and getting more and more involved with the Book of Abraham and the Papyri. I have made a couple comments on the video as has ...

Thanks alls yous guys n gals. I shall try (perhaps not too hard) to not make myself too obnoxious......It's good to be back amongst such a great group of people!

Ah well, the good ole ego is hard to suppress when one sets oneself up as hero to many thousands of youth who need their help...... it almost makes one feel giddy with excitement doesn't it?

Yes, I sympathize with you entirely. The stupid way Western man has treated the Goddess is inexcusable. Lucky for us the East looked askance at the West and said, no thank you, we don't want to be dopes like you are being. The good news is, the Goddess can never disappear, so it will rise here and t...

Oh hey thank you. Hey did anything ever come of those rescue missions? Was anyone at all rescued? And what were they rescued from anyway? I was too busy rolling my eyes over the very idea to pay much attention to it at all.

When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone? That was a fantastic book! I couldn't get enough of it for many years. In fact it kinda catapulted me into Raphael Patai's materials on the Hebrew Goddess stuff which just still blows my mind! And I'll tell you another one, that if nothing else is unmatched for...

I understand your sentiment, but I think you are mistaken in some respect Pale Rider... What is a church for actually? It is an organization which is supposed to help individuals gain access to God. It is, to use one of the most spectacular phrases I have ever read, supposed to help make us transpar...

I actually do like reading what Daniel C. Peterson writes sometimes. But you can take it to the bank that about once a year or so, he brings up the bogus parallels of Kearsey Graves and the other 16 Savior figures to Jesus, and then triumphantly proclaims a victory for Jesus and does a victory lap a...

I have sincere and quite strong doubts that the gents know what love even means, even on an ecclesiastical level. One of the most profound books I just finished reading (Besides Martin Gardner's " The Why's of a Philosophical Scrivener " My gawd he was a THEIST! Truly! That was very encouraging actu...

You do know why Satan is so much easier to read minds with and grasp what he is doing don't you? Because he doesn't have to test our faith at all, he just throws the bowling ball at you and if ya don't duck....well, sucks to be you! The supernatural ideas and views are so skee wompus anymore, even t...

It's great to be here among so many fantastic thinkers and cool people. The subjects here never fail to stimulate and encourage and help one grasp issues. Looking forward to learning more with you all.

Gosh if only we had a prophet who knew how to use a seer stone... if only we had a prophet who actually could and would prophesy and help out a little bit. I guess we'll just have to settle for second rate science... :shock: A seer stone would be so much more enduring rather than the paltry science ...

Yeah when I say we, I am speaking of FAIR. I am one of its original founders, Kerry Shirts. Well, the church did try the I am a Mormon campaign, but still, for every Mormon online, there are an overwhelmingly number of responders who just see through the bullroar anymore. Me? I'm just a little slow ...

Years ago we were hashing out what the internet was going to do to the church. Most of us took an optimistic bent and said when the truth flows out of our websites, the world is gonna sit up and take notice. My goodness the church has been in full reverse mode now for over a flippin decade! And apol...
