Re: Lori Vallow and apocalyptic religion

What ever ends up happening to these types? Julie Rowe was claiming that her visions showed that Jesus was going to return, what 6 years ago? Does she just keep resetting and moving the goalposts when it doesn't happen? When this Lori Vallow lunatic doesn't help usher in the 2nd Coming this summer ...

Re: Lori Vallow and apocalyptic religion

I looked at some of those websites from the presenters list in RedRider's post. This guy writes BoM fan fiction: https://thewarchapters.com/ Interesting that what his fan fiction is about is war. Not the teachings of Jesus, but war. This guy's website appears to be about how science can't be trusted ...

Re: Basketball Legend Kobe Bryant Killed Today

I wonder when someone will do their temple work. Not trying to sound snarky but it wouldn't surprise me if their names have already been processed at the temple.

Re: Whistle Blower Files IRS Complaint

I was just reminded on something. Back in 2008 or 2009, when the US economy was collapsing, the Ensign published a story told by TSM. He spoke of an older single man who was basically living in abject poverty. This older man lived in a shack, had no transportation, had one set of clothing, etc. The ...

Re: Whistle Blower Files IRS Complaint

What has me confused is why the church needs billions at the second coming? Why not feed the hungry now? Clean water? Vaccinate the entire world? That’s a great point. Everything I was taught about the 2nd coming means money would be useless. If everything and everyone (except TBMs) is going to be t ...

Re: Whistle Blower Files IRS Complaint

This will (hopefully) be a game changer. $100B in charitable assets is almost inconceivable for a church/corporation. I recall that Damon Smith book that came out 10-15 years ago. He worked at the COB. He said the church takes in tithing and fast offerings, puts that money in interest bearing ...

Re: Mission rules are now just suggestions.

I wonder if this is a response to the fact that 50% of returned missionaries are leaving the church or becoming inactive or that 1/3 or missionaries come home early, mostly for mental health reasons and for "health" reasons that are often cover stories for underlying depression or anxiety. I also ...

Re: How to Tarnish Your Brand in 5 Easy Steps

Is Medicaid State funded? If so perhaps the state of Idaho put pressure on byu-Idaho to pay for insurance. Maybe I'm way off base but I could see it happening. I mean a bunch of religious conservatives would never want government funded healthcare, would they? When I first read the story my first ...

Mission rules are now just suggestions.

I saw an article on KSL.com a few days ago, It said mission rules are now no longer meant to be taken as a hardline black & white. The mission kids can now take a softer approach at the rule book. Missions may be slowly becoming less and less culty. When I was out missions fell into the cult ...

According to 23 & Me I have Neanderthal DNA. I'm walking proof that A&E did not literally exist. That story makes absolutely no sense. Why should anyone take the A&E myth over the creation myth of Native Americans or the Aboriginals of Australia? Just about every culture has come up with a creation ...
