I'm ashamed to admit I used this flawed argument many times on my mission.

When Daymon Smith wrote about the project to publish new scriptures with computer generated footnotes and committee crafted chapter headings, he emphasized that the whole point of the headings was to direct people towards an LDS specific interpretation via "meta-text". LDS p...

Re: "Nevermind, just Stay in the Boat"
I'm in the same position of being in a virtual leper colony. My home teacher went on a senior mission and there is no replacement yet. Could just be laziness on the part of the HPG, but I sorta doubt it.

Re: Preaching Bro. Jake to teachers
I have also shared the brother Jake videos with my favorite non-mormon friends. They loved it. It's the most succint humorous guide to mormon culture and belief out there.

Re: Early LDS persecution
It's not just LDS persecution that is misrepresented historically, but early Christianity as well. There is a pretty darn good radio west episode "The Myth of Persecution" that is fun to listen to. I would almost say that modern Christians in the middle east have more legitimate persecution recorded...

Really enjoying this thread. Sometimes when I think I'm more mellow in the tribe, something jumps out that stirs up the anger again though.

Re: Science proves it's true
Yes the science justifications when they agree with tenets are heavily used. I was handed a big packet of Islamic publications once while in the middle east. It talked about the miracle of conception and how Allah designed it all perfectly. Very fascinating to look at the same methodology for suppor...
