Re: Psychedelics in the Beehive conference
But considering that they are still sending members to Visions of Glory therapists (a friend of mine was referred to Thom Harrison's network just last week) that's probably wishful thinking. If the Church had some means of controlling the psychedelic visions to the point that it was assured of regu...

Re: Keeping up with Trump
But maybe you acknowledge that Trump is an asshole. If so, thats progress. I think it is a bit of a reversal that you are acknowledging that Trump is an asshole. Let's add a Supervillain and someone not to be trusted with the Presidency. Trump encouraging Putin to invade a NATO country is further p...

Tithe or you'll be burned?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kRsimOH4Mjc Pay us or you'll be burned!
Why do Mormon leaders say you will be burned if you do not pay them tithing money? Is this from the Prophecy of the Ensign Peak Investments?
What happened to a loving God?

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women
I was barely a teen in 77, but I'll never forget the name Sonia Johnson and how much the church demonized her for standing up for ERA. One benefit from being so damn old is that I attended that meeting in the Salt Palace where the Elders held up signs telling the Relief Society sisters how to vote ...

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women
I am uncertain whether they would seek to use the Relief Society en masse to vote against women's rights today, however, the Church has let it be known that women should not sit on the stand unless they are giving a talk or a prayer. Church leaders would recoil from the suggestion of equal rights fo...

Re: Looking back....
See, there's one way that God could give you a reason to make those commitments. How about a ceremony or sacrament that parts the veil briefly so you actually can remember? Are you talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster holding a brief demonstration at the IKEA food court? Gotta love those Swed...

Re: Communication skills
Reminds me of the Mehrabian Study in the 70s, Alas. When communicating emotionality, it's what... 52% body language, 47% tone, and 7% the actual words? I'm sure I have the percentages off slightly, but that's the gist. Clarifying is crucial. Like are they mentally performing the perambulations from...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
Sometimes these kinds of things remind me of Stanley Milgram's famous obedience study at Harvard... If I were a bishop, would I defy the church legal counsel not to report, risk being sued by the perpetrator, and make a call that possibly saves a child? What would Jesus do? This would be a fun upda...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?
One aspect of Mormonism is the interface between the real and the imagined; between the story and history. The Book of Abraham is a good example. Story : Egypt was a country discovered by Egyptus the daughter of Ham. Actual : The Egyptians called their land Kemet. The word Egypt came from the Greeks...

New Prophet/President of CoC
Stassi D. Cramm, 61, will be the first woman to hold the office of Prophet/President of the Community of Christ Church if her call is approved by the 2025 World Conference. Until then, her title is prophet-president designate. Here is a podcast on Mormon Discussions about this topic: https://www.you...
