Re: Is the church headed for a schism ?

I have heard a few examples, but I think they are far from any major change. A trans person can be baptized if they transitioned before investigating the church and if they get direct and specific permission from the First Presidency. Gay couples having callings and taking the sacrament seems to be ...

Re: 9 stories from those who returned to the faith

I was told to just believe. Satan is attacking you. Have more faith. Read your scriptures. Attend the temple Pray more. When I tried to talk to people about it, the following happened: "Yes you DO have a testimony. I have felt it. Why would you deny it?" "You know a testimony is found on your feet,...

Any idea if they recorded that or not?
I think they did. My friend Chad had cameras set up and told me he had been tasked with video recordings. I guess keep and eye on thedivineassembly.org for updates. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Re: Keeping up with Biden

That said, calling someone a shiteater is an interesting approach here. I'm just saddened by the fact that Americans are so starved for inspiring leadership that they have to cling to someone like Donny. It's ok for him to slander everyone else with false claims and childish name calling, but peopl...

Please tell me what Trump has said that's so bad I shouldn't vote for him. That's between you and your conscience, my friend. You know as well as I do what he says and does.

Re: Tithe or you'll be burned?

So silly if you look at it from even 3 feet away with one eye closed. Any institution that puts a dollar ransom on salvific ordinances is obviously a fraud. No matter how much good you do in your life, and no matter how sincerely you seek truth, in the end it all comes down to a final judgement that...

Re: Who wants a Christian "Sharia" society?

The biggest problem with a Christian America of the kind Mike Johnson dreams about is that it would eventually lead to the doom of most Christian religious freedoms. You would end up with a political governing body that would decide what constitutes "Christian" and what does not. They would claim it...

Re: Keeping up with Biden

Biden just said the president of Mexico should open the border with Gaza. In the meantime, the justice department said Biden was too senile to be responsible. Yeah, he's definitely on the downhill slope. Here's a fun exercise for you. Listen to one of Trump's recent rallies then go back and listen ...

So, in the best case scenario, some get the witness, and the others just have to trust them.
Exactly like every other religion. Might as well start paying tithing to some of them too, just in case.

Re: Looking back....

They are presented in a "Take it or leave it fashion." I suppose this is OK, but something about it just doesn't quite feel right. :( It's OK unless it's all just made up. If it really did come from a real and loving personal God, I would expect that there would be a foolproof way of knowing. And I...

Re: Psychedelics in the Beehive conference

A few years back there was some chatter about maybe opening up coffee as an acceptable Mormon beverage but that was shot down hard taking green tea with it. I knew some folks who felt they had to repent after that. Green tea is probably the healthiest thing you could possibly put in your body. Too ...

Maybe they should also frame the Code of Hammurabi and the laws of the other ancient pagan theocracies the Ten Commandments were plagiarized from.

Re: Replacing the New Order Mormon

This is true about the site. If it is a site for a single ideology, the targets of the inevitable name-calling will either not participate (as proven so far) or react to the name-calling then get shushed then get banned. For what it is worth - that is not unique to NOM. That is true for every conve...
