I have studied some on this topic and Mohamed is the last “savior” that I would pick to show parallels to the Jesus myth. So, to me Dan Peterson sets up a straw man in Mohamed that is supper easy to knock down. Mohamed is seen as a prophet, not a Savior. Now, if Dan Peterson wants to educate himself...

- Me wanting to learn more about church history and doctrine (starting in 2012) is the same as committing adultery. How? Because, according to DW, I knew that in digging I would find issues that would lead me to question the church. This desire to know more about the church is selfish and thus the ...

I have noticed when leaders talk they tend to be invoke the love factor. They constantly say how much they love everyone and how humbled they are by it Frankly it annoys me. It is almost like it is used as an excuse sometimes. I love you so that justifies the comments I am going to make. Is it love...

Your wife KNOWS that if a person digs into church history, they will find all kinds of problems that say the church might not be what it claims, but she knows the church is true. Wow, just wow! She knows good and well the church isn’t true like it claims, but the church is still true, like it claims...

So many of us on this board are in the same boat, and there is some great advice here, and RR's list is invaluable, including his addendums. The only advice I can give is to realize that however hard it is, don't take the fact that your wife loves the priesthood holder you over the REAL you persona...

Pascal's wager has always seemed deeply flawed to me because it is entirely dependent on the premises of a given belief system. John Larsen was the speaker at our Oasis meeting yesterday. Mentioned an Evangelical friend of his who agrees with John that, from his Evangelical point of view, there is ...

I'd like to propose that well informed men who are of good character, see women's breasts as both functional in the nurturing of infants and as sexual parts of the female anatomy as well. And I think that's a healthy outlook. Obviously I don't agree with the exploitive trends in our society that em...

First of all ((hugs)) This rough, and we are here for you. Before you chose a path, I want to tell you a few things about your DW. I don't know her personally. But I know some things that might help you chose your path. Young women in the church are taught that if we don't marry a worthy return mis...

But it isn’t lady like to let on to the men what we all find sexy, so we don’t tell often. It’s one of the things the girls talk about, but don’t often tell the guys. That would be an interesting topic of conversation. Women tell each other stuff about their way of thinking, but they keep men in th...

I foresee a topless March in Salt Lake in the near future. A march for breast feeding or ERA.

No, it is much too cold in March to go topless. Now if you had not capitalized it, we could have a topless march in June. But in March, I am not marching topless.

This reminds me of John Larsen's analogy about the wall and the flashlight. We can replace the wall with the arch. You're standing in a dark room examining a brick wall with a flashlight. You point the light at a single brick and see that it is cracked and crumbling. "It's ok," you say, "the wall o...

But if you remove the book of Abraham stone, the arch falls. If you remove the Book of Mormon stone, the arch falls. If you remove the Jesus stone, the arch falls. Sorry.. I never got around to the punchline of my comment. Everyone whose shelf collapses has something in particular that triggers the...

Well, since naturists are on the list, I would align with that group (not necessarily the LDS version, but here's a link for you anyway). http://ldssdf.org/v2/ Well, I might not be quite that natural, seeing as I like to have boob support and to cover surgery scars and baby stretch marks. But I thi...

Guys, you are arguing over which one element of the church is the “key stone”. Now, step back. What exactly is a key stone? It is the top stone in an arch, which if removed, the whole arch falls. Only problem is that if you remove the stone next to the key stone, the whole arch falls. See, in an arc...

I am a retired social worker and did a small amount of what would be called marriage counseling with couples where there had been domestic violence, and I do have one thought from my experience and that is that it is never a good idea to tell your spouse your sexual fantasies, or even that you have ...

So it would make sense that they make some organizational changes to streamline their corporate structure and then throw a small bone to women by letting them be a witness... I mean it's all a lie anyway so what does it matter? But yeah - giving women the ability to be a "witness" will absolutely g...

Huh? :?: George Langel of Ft. Collins pointed out what he says is a contradiction of laws: Just seems like a contradictory of laws a woman can expose her breasts, but a man can’t go in an alley behind a dumpster and take a pee without coming up on criminal charges. How is baring one's chest in publ...

Before I had any real job experience, except mother of three, I was advised to put down volunteer experience. I had a bit of that, even in the mental health field. Whoever the advisor was, I asked specifically about church volunteer positions and without knowing I was Mormon or being Mormon himself ...

I am just now getting up to speed with Ol' Nellie's talk. Can anyone explain why he would even talk about the policy reversal like this right now? I know it was a topic of discussion for a while after it happened, but like most news, seemed like the tide had past. Is the policy reversal still a hot...
