Re: Doubters are lazy learners!!!!!

I believe "lazy learner" is a phrase for an artificial intelligence algorithm. If I understand it correctly, the algorithm requires experience trials to develop. Modification of the learner is through experience only. In a eager learner algorithm, there are programmed assumptions. So the lazy learn...

Re: Forced Turning Point

So it sounds to me like your deciding factors had to do with your immediate family relationships and some hoped for positives there. Those are the best reasons I can think of so I hope that works out for you. If those things become negatively impacted don't hesitate to go for the extra bedroom. I do...

He had a wonderful chance to say to get vaccinated if eligible and he didn’t say it. -50. He is a doctor and should promote vaccination. I have good member neighbors who are refusing for no other reason than they believe the fear mongering.
Add my -50. Sins of omission, dude!

This "publication" he's referring to is the one where the Church swore left right and center that they WEREN'T doing polygamy, isn't it?
That was the publication I thought of. I do not know if it is the same.

Re: NOMference Sunday afternoon SP 2021

Oaks Condemned mob interference in constitutional processes. Emphasize rule of law and PEACEFUL civic processes. Reemphasized political neutrality, and no political test for faithful members. Endorsed separation of powers and no individual rule. I dislike DHO for many different reasons, but this was...

I agree with the previous poster that we should keep this no old white guy trend going. This is shaping up as a very international session. I like it
Agreed. Despite my cynicism it is a step forward to emphasize diversity, despite it being way out of character based on past practice.

Re: General Konference Predictions

Wasn't the last GenCon one of the most boring and pointless ones under Nelson? It feels like at this point Nelson pushed through the changes he wanted to do and the church made a lot moves in recent years to reorganize the structure of Sunday meetings, etc. Last October there was so much hype given...

I predict several Texas sharpshooter fallacy bullseyes. Anything the Church did before the pandemic that **just happened to be beneficial** during the pandemic will be **proof** of our leaders' inspiration. I already heard one of these whoppers in a temple workers fireside. I'm sure there will be mo...

Re: Is the FLDS church a cult?

Re: April Conference and the Elephant in the Chapel

I don't have a lot to add, but our Stake held conference this month, not that long after the 6th, and there were a couple of things that seemed driven by recent events (I only tuned into the live stream sporadically, but did pick up a couple things). The SP actually spoke against racial prejudice. O...

Give us a rational argument, or a polite rant, but for your own sake "make allowance for our doubting too." (Kipling) Don't let a persecution complex cloud your posts too mu...
