Book of Mormon dude. Turns me OFF every time I read it. Oh wait...you were looking for turn ons? The only one who had sex was Corihor,...and he got busted BAD for it. Publicly humliated, and his story (since it is real history mind you) has been used now for centuries to teach the consequences of se...

Oh wow....what would I add? HA! I would print a new section named "D&C Retractions & Corrections". Lets see,...what would I put in there?....humm.......? I would start with one on tithing: it was Joseph Smith's intent that you pay on your surplus, which is defined as the money left over AFTER expens...

My mother passed away about 8 months ago, and I am a care-giver now for my aged father. He is just this side of needing to be in a home. Mentally he is there, but he is cranky and can be mean. He is demanding, but I am holding on and doing the service out of love. We hardly have a single HT or anyon...

His son did some youtube stuff where he shares things that are, if true, pretty out there shaking the foundation. For example, the son said that during McConkie's slow death process, there was a moment where he was afraid to cross over. Why?...because, [Mcconkie] said, we haven't been honest enough ...

Been reading a little of Kraut's 95 thesis thing. I'm smiling. Whether you agree at all with the premise he postulates in the "before" sections, I have to admit it is thought provoking the "now" section that blows some pretty big holes in the earlier foundation, showing that shifting sands are the n...

Anyone have an opinion about this guy and his writings?

I didn't ignore you all.....i've been swamped today. Can you tell me when your normal schedule is?....lets do something in the Gateway. I will be there....I can do lunch any day during the week. Just let me know. I don't want to reveal too much about me (so I wont),...but I'm gunna laugh if you work...

I have had what I have previously ascribed as spiritual experiences - feelings of sustained euphoria/clarity and unusual coincidences. However, right now I'm too burnt out to jump back in to finding meaning. My instinct is that there is something, it is more than coincidence, and those feelings of ...

"Whether by my own voice of the voice of my servants,it is the same." Apostles and Prophets speak for God....as though they are God... Joseph Smith was ordained king of the world, and was referred to in more than one place as a god...even the personal who controls who will and will not get into heav...

Hi Bill.....

Hope you are doing OK man. You have always been kind. Thank you.

This problem felt magnified in Bill Reel's recent podcast on Spiritual Trauma in Mormonism . After listening to his deeply emotional message I was wondering how long Bill will be sticking around. At some point leadership roulette is going to spin up a leader that does not appreciate Bill Reel's ide...

Just listened to Bill's latest on Satan. http://www.mormondiscussionpodcast.org/2017/06/premium-satan-opposition-things/ I see Bill working his way out of the church. He may end up here eventually. WOW....I've known him for over 5 years,...and it is interesting how this is like an actual study, happ...

OD...loved the summary and post. I know Bill, and I wonder if he is gunna get "disciplined" any time soon. He is slowly working his way out. I know he feels frustrated with what he encounters over and over. I didn't hit my full transitional until I was like 45,...and I confess when I read some of Fo...

This "brown nosing" stuff turns my stomach.

I heard Elder Anderson (before he was in the Q15) do the same thing to Elder Oaks. It was disgusting. This was one of the last regional conferences I ever attended. I wanted to go puke.

If this is downtown SLC,...I can make it.

Let me know.

PS....

The way I heard it was, "You don't mud wrestle a pig. You'll both get dirty and the pig likes it."

Yeppers. That is about right.

Why did I immediately think of Boyd Packer when I read that?....hunh.....?

<<something to ponder>>

I have to remember an ancient proverb: "Never argue with a JackAss. You loose the argument,and you make the JackAss bray loud and hurt ears." This applies to the fantasies that creep into my mind of being in a Q/A session with a member of the Q15, and asking a direct question. Of course they wont a...

The Nauvoo Polygamy essay says: Years later in Utah, participants in Nauvoo plural marriage discussed their motives for entering into the practice. God declared in the Book of Mormon that monogamy was the standard; at times, however, He commanded plural marriage so His people could “raise up seed u...
