Re: What does the Amazon warehouse purchase mean?

Does anyone know if polyester is flammable in large quantities when stored over time? Is large amount of polyester flammable? Yes. Time doesn't really factor into it much. In the US polyester used for consumer garments is required to have a fire retardant coating. There are also various fire codes ...

Re: Temple Prayer Roll

Back in pre-historic times when I was attending Polygamy Palaces, when they pulled out the "Prayer Roll" it looked like they had stuffed all the names into a fancy tissue box. Maybe it's the Fancy Tissue Box™ that holds all the Magick power to help all the people who's names are "on the roll" in th...

I’d just get up in sacrament meeting and type in a theme for a talk and read the chatgpt in real time.
The sad part is most people probably wouldn't notice. Either they will zone out like they always do, or just assume any weird nonsense is just a person goofing their talk.

Maybe something about how to spot lies in an argument so that you can known when you are being deceived? And then go into a summary of Carl Sagan's Baloney detection kit. Throw in a couple scriptures for good measure.

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?

Does anyone know if that "If god commanded it" exemption clause was in the original text of the BoM? Or was it something added as part of the "re-editing" the occurred over the JS years to update the book to his evolving theology? Just checked. Original text reads the same. https://bookofmormoncent...

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?

I think Joseph was contemplating polygamy early on. He spent quite a bit of time calling out David and Solomon in Jacob 2 stating that the Lord condemns having many wives but then he cracks open the door for polygamy in verse 30 where he says: " 30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up s...

If there was one girl, you might be able to say that and not be just defending the indefensible, but there is a clear pattern.

His place in line is assured. All Oaks has to do to inherit the big chair is not die . Why does it matter if he crushes his water bottles for recycling or not? Until he gets the big chair, he is still vulnerable. Look at how GBH smacked down RMN or how RMN smacked down DFU. He may be next in line, ...
