Recent Asian DNA influence in Americas
A new study finds DNA evidence that Asians were influencing Native American DNA as recent as 1500 years ago and vice versa. Apparently "Native American" DNA has been recovered in Asia recently. I think these guys were better seafarers than previously thought. I'm thinking ancient Israelites were ...

Re: The Brigham Wheel
How about a medium sized saltwater aquarium with 15 large sea Groupers attempting to swim around in it? Big fish in a small pond so to speak. Some varieties of Grouper have the ability to change color and skin patterns depending on their surroundings.
Hmmmm......

Re: Does anyone tell the truth anymore
I've told my kids (all married now) that the time is here when the most precious thing to find will be the truth. It reminds me of an Old Testament scripture from Amos. 11. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water ...

Re: Book of Mormon reaction

Just goes to show what can happen when kids are made subject to "the (incorrect) traditions of their fathers...." "Didn't any of you guys think to fact check this stuff?????" :roll:

Re: A positive thing about Utah
So the Native Americans/Indians originated these? What kind of flour do they use? Doubtful that they were “invented” by American Natives, as they are made with refined white flour. Alas is correct here. Here's a little history (sad) if anyone is interested. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/637 ...

Re: Ken Jennings a NOM?
Did you grow up believing in Heaven and Hell? Yeah! And, to some degree, I still do, perhaps more out of a sense of aesthetics than conviction. Like, wouldn’t it be so much nicer if there were something bigger? But, growing up in the Mormon faith, that’s a very complicated, esoteric Heaven that’s tr ...

Re: A positive thing about Utah
When I go on the "Rez" (reservation) or to the Powwows, I see fry bread done in both a savory and a sweet configuration. My mother, who was not raised Mormon was taught by my grandmother to make the sweet scones from when she was a child. Love both versions.

Re: Reasons to resign
Number 1. The church is phony and dishonest. Number 2. I resigned because as long as you are a member of record, the church usurps to itself the privilege of dealing with you how they see fit and on their terms......not yours. I'm a hunter, thus the following analogy. The church is like a bull elk ...

Re: So Many podcasts, so little time.
I do a mixture of different podcasts as well. Depends mostly on whether I think I can learn something new. I doubt that there are many folks in that 65-85 age group that are watching these but the effect on 15-45 year olds must be devastating for the church. Leadership must be turning themselves ...

Re: Another Utah man kills family
That may be the way it is in some town in Utah but in other parts of the country the police and other organizations are prepared to help women and children in abusive situations. They can be sheltered. As a part of our "tithing", we now donate to a local shelter for abused women and children. They ...

Re: Another Utah man kills family
Interesting that the "in-laws" frequently seem to be involved in these cases. President Spencer W. Kimball used to say that after a couple were married the in-laws needed to butt out and let the couple solve their own problems. Which I agree with totally. In-laws are not experts or professionals ...

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?
The thing to ask is if there is any archeological evidence for the great wars that are fought in the BoM. It would be interesting to see how they get around that.
Godless
Watching this fictional, dark themed Western on Netflix called "Godless". The main antagonist (deep sociopath) is a character who, as a young child, was part of the Fancher party that was massacred at Mountain Meadows. He was under 8 years of age and so spared of death but then raised by one Isaac ...

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?
Does anyone know if that "If god commanded it" exemption clause was in the original text of the BoM? Or was it something added as part of the "re-editing" the occurred over the JS years to update the book to his evolving theology? Just checked. Original text reads the same. https ...

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?
It's interesting there's no polygamy in the BOM; like the other thread Red started about predator vs opportunist. I guess we really don't know when JS first started thinking about polygamy; I'm guessing at a pretty young age if the stories about his bible study are true, but he did not write it up ...
