NOM

I'm trying to remember the term used by the church for young men who have had multiple sex partners before their mission. If I recall, leadership drew a distinction between a young couple in love, who had "made a mistake" and a young man who had been "predatory" in his relationships with young women ...

The problem these idiots truly don't understand is that covenants and ordinances performed on earth by men, have no intrinsic saving power. In Christ's time the "ordinances" were burnt offerings and animal sacrifices. Mark 12:33 reads: "And to love him (God) with all the heart, and with all the ...

I tried alcohol a few times as a teen. Nothing good ever came from those few times.

My younger brother is alcoholic and I've had to watch what it did to his life. Not a fun movie.

My in-laws, who fancy themselves as dyed-in-the-wool TBMs but are in reality cafeteria Mormons in a big way, would do better to call it the "Convenient Path".

The "Exploitation Treadmill" works better for me.

Covenant treadmill has a nice ring to it.

Even better!

Does your friend have a white ceramic bowl and pitcher on display in their home? I haven't been inside his house since I learned about the sacred artifacts. He doesn't seem like the type to put them on display anyway. The ones I have seen (in use at the time) were a nice quality stainless steel ...

More temples...lots more temples.

They're like Walmarts now.

Mormonism: The Walmart version of salvation, only more expensive. Cheap religion at a high price.

The idea of sucking up to leadership MUST be reinforced to inferiors so that when it's Oaks' turn, no one will dare give him grief. It's the "get in line" principle. "I did it....you do it." This is the way the church operates and avoids the huge messes created when members gave Joseph Smith crap on ...

She's really sucking up to Nelson.

Worshipping the arm of flesh.

Be one.

By submitting totally to us. Then there will be no more contention. Just bow your head and say yes. See how easy that is?

Wow!

What a misrepresentation of the issues regarding B.H. Robert's.

A bit of a snooze fest really... This seems like one of the most pointless sessions in years based on the reactions in the threads. Other than reinforcing the absolute need for Mormon ordinances in order to access God (which is such a fallacy) there was nothing here that couldn't be found from any ...

Meuse:

In spite of its faults, probably the best talk so far.

You really can't believe in or represent Jesus unless you accept OUR COVENANT ORDINANCES.

What B.S.....

He met with "the consecrated" members....not the just so so members.

You only get to associate with God through OUR ORDINANCES.

Sorry Henry....

Your church is shrinking, not expanding and you are afraid to tell your members the truth.

Already with the shakey "I'm almost crying voice".

What a PHONY!

Everybody hear that huge sucking sound?

Cook.....the great suck-up to Nelson.

Did you all get that?

The 1st Pres. gave us more time with our families. How generous they are....
