The church knows the BOA isn't real. If they really believed the papyrus was truly written by Abraham, they would have a huge museum to display it. If it was really written by Abraham's own hand, then about half the world's population would come to take a look. It would be considered the greatest ar...

This doesn't look good.

Sure they’re volunteers. Just like the way prisoners volunteer to make license plates.

I have read a couple of books about Intelligent Design by a LDS biologists. An LDS biologist was an expert witness at the Kitzmiller v. Dover evolution case. I keep seeing the concept of Intelligent Design pop up in LDS conversations and articles. The problem is that Intelligent Design doesn't work...

There are so many awful parts of mormon history that slavery is often forgotten. Slaves were part of the first ...

Imagine the confrontation between Brigham and Russell.

When I was just off my mission in Bountiful every stake had its own young adult ward. Now that my kids are that age most of Farmington and Centerville make up just one young adult ward. That’s a huge area to form just one ward.

The good news is that my kids are not active.

[/quote]How did Jimmy Marsden get on the cover of that pamphlet?[/quote]

Maybe he was a masturbation All-Star so they awarded him with the additional shame and guilt by putting him on the pamphlet.

Are those new members wealthy enough to increase the church’s wealth? That’s the only increase that matters.

This is why women cannot be ordained to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Because he (Jesus) is not her lord. Her husband is her lord. Well, that makes sense, in a weird, sick sort of way... In the temple endowment a women is told that she will be a priestess “unto” her husband. So if a woman is invo...

I've always loved The Smiths. Took my son when Morrissey was at the U about a year ago.

This makes me sad, I didn't know he embraced the alt-right ideologies.

Johnny Marr is one hell of a good guitar player.

I recently caught up with my best friend from childhood. A bit of background, we grew up in the same ward, left on our missions one week apart. We were each good influences on each other. We each have three sons, about the same age. A few years ago we were skiing and talking about sons going on miss...

I was about 10 years old when SWK lifted the PH ban for black men. Even as a 10 year old I realized the PH ban was bullshit.

I was just wondering what happened to her. Seems like it should have happened back when people were selling their homes and cashing out their retirement based on her prophecies.

Temple Rumor: When the three pioneer-era Temples are refurbished in Utah, the dinosaur in the mural at the Manti Temple will be changed to the Utah Velociraptor.

Will Ronald Reagan be astride it, waving a machine gun?

Ronald Reagan will escort us thru the veil.

Of course a literal WOW would permit beer.

I think it’s wishful thinking, they won’t permit coffee in my lifetime. I just bought a coffee maker so I don’t care.

Will the Church be able to rebuild the structure keeping the intact brick walls?

More importantly, were the pictures of Jesus miraculously not burned in the inferno?

Yep. Miracles abound.

The church is going to stick this on the contractor.

Of course no one is stopping you from going commando right now.

You know all my secrets.

Concessions: Free Cool Aid for sure. The rest is BYOB.

This is just one more area where the church painted itself into a corner. From the beginning church leadership and lesson manuals said the same thing, that there was no death until A&E ate the fruit. They still cling to that at times, but they are a lot less vocal about it. Just a few years ago JRH ...
