It never really made sense to me that a man would have 12 sons, and then each of them would have lots of kids and grandkids and eventually become their own separate tribes. Who do they marry and who do their kids and grandkids marry? Are lots of outsiders marrying into these tribes and severing thei...

Turns out the board is up but everyone is using old bookmarks that go to the wrong place. Here is a post from Dr. Shades that explains: Dear user, If you're having any problems with the functionality of this board--viewing older threads, posting replies, whatever--then do this: 1.UPDATE YOUR BOOKMAR...

No one is disputing the numbers from the CDC.

Forget biased news & mob mentality. Look at the facts. Mob mentality is far more dangerous than this virus.

Which news sources do you think are biased and which ones are trustworthy? What are the best sources for facts?

:roll: MANY more die each year of FLU (than this overhyped virus). CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 28, 2020, there have been: 39,000,000 – 55,000,000 flu illnesses 18,000,000 – 26,000,000 flu medical visits 400,000 – 730,000 flu hospitalizations 24,000 – 63,000 flu deaths h...

Isn’t it at the April GC where church membership numbers are released?
Are there any projections?

I bet the number of missionaries will be way down!

I just heard from a mother of a missionary in South Korea that her son is coming home tomorrow. All of the missionaries are being sent home. He is supposed to self quarantine at home for 14 days after he arrives. They don’t know if he will be reassigned to another mission or if his mission is over. ...

Similarly, in order to say "don't do it" John avoided posting the interview on his own site, but then provided a way to access the information anyway "for it is given unto thee."

He was only doing that which has been done on other podcasts.

What is that?

He said, "I try to help them realize it's not the end of the world and that there are good alternatives out there and that they should at the least hold on to their faith in God and Christ and the Biblical Scripture." This is not unlike a TBM saying that you should hang on to your faith in Joseph S...

My (TBM) wife got tickets to this conference about Joseph Smith Polygamy and she wants me to go. I told her before that I wasn't interested, but she got some tickets and has invited a friend and wants me to join. The only thing worse than going might be having her go without me. I really don't want...

Congrats! I really like the Under Armour briefs. They are spendy, but only the best for the bois. https://www.amazon.com/Under-Armour-Original-Boxerjock-Black/dp/B019Z2WRWW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29CZBZVCFZTCT&dchild=1&keywords=under+armour+mens+briefs&qid=1582653879&sprefix=Under+Armour+mens+br%2Caps%2C2...

He didn't mention anything about it being ok for gays to date at BYU now?

I recently discovered Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth on Prime video. I think I had to rent or buy it, but it was worth every penny and I will definitely rewatch. It's an old PBS interview from the 80s and at first glance looks boring and has terrible production quality. But if you haven't se...

My favorite thing to learn was that the artist John McNaughton (sp?) is a Mormon artist, and he is also apparently heading some sort of Mormon splinter group... which is just amazing.

Do you have any more information on this splinter group? I have never heard of this.

Polygamy is starting to make her shelf creak and little bit. Any resistance on your part might make her want to reinforce it. Just wait patiently. Eventually it will crack, then break. I wish this were the case but I don't think so. I first brought up Joseph Smith polygamy before the essays came ou...

What you're waiting for is an official general conference where a number of the general authorities take up the subject of polygamy IN HISTORICAL DETAIL and declare that it is the official stance and doctrine of the church. Ask her if she thinks the GAs are afraid to discuss it. Why are they lettin...

I would love to be in your shoes with my wife. Here’s why: It shows she is bothered and needs to reconcile or learn more. Hello entrance to The Rabbit Hole! Here’s what you do: Step 1 Simply agree to go with her! Then Shut your mouth, pass go, and collect $200 worth of emotional bonus points. Keep ...

There are probably some very key bullet points that are factual and should be brought up. I'm not an expert on this topic, but maybe when JS approached the first girl, regardless of whether there's a smoking gun to show he had sex with them, just the fact it was done without Emma's knowledge and th...

If you do go... definitely let us know what sources they deem OK and not OK - I always love how the church is the only one that can tell you which sources are OK and which are of the devil. I am pretty sure I already know the answer to this. It is the same as it has always been. If a source conclud...
