Apologists need another N-h-m stone, or maybe a Stela 5.
Or maybe they'll just add "may be among the ancestors of the American Indians" to the BOM intro.

Re: How do you get your spouse to see that people can still be good after leaving the church?
... but there probably is a shift in morality. Like drinking coffee or drinking alcohol reponsibly and being less strict about movie ratings. ... There is absolutely nothing "immoral" about the things mentioned in the above sentence/quote. Maybe you should do some simple math with your spouse: Acco...

One Can of Worms... out of many.
I think I was about 16-17 when I became aware of Matt. 22:30 "In the heavens they neither marry or are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven." To my mind then, and now this was a clear contradiction to LDS teachings. Probably a year or two later I read an LDS explanation in Joseph Field...

The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it . . . ” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 247; see also, vol. 4, p. 53-54, 219-220)....

I'm cheating by posting this early Sunday morning, but predicting a tithing talk is 100% guaranteed.

Re: Shunning by Decreee
I Loved the podcast. A very sweet young couple gets bludgeoned by TCJCOLDS/Kirton&McConkie. It was like killing a fly with a sledge hammer. The brother's printed testimony was appropriate. The Stake Pres. evidently overreacted. Kirton&McConkie's letter was embarrassingly strident and insensitive. It...

Re: "We are belligerents defending good." Boyd Packer
... Good and evil, and Mormons are the good guys and gals. Every one else- the bad guys and gals. That's a beauty for sure, but after all, we have a secret weapon- we made covenants. Zowy. What a weapon. Who needs sacrament trays when you have covenants? BigCovenant.jpg :lol: :lol: Yeah, we have th...

"We are belligerents defending good." Boyd Packer
"In the Church we are not neutral. We are one-sided. There is a war going on, and we are engaged in it. It is the war between good and evil, and we are belligerents defending the good. We are therefore obliged to give preference to and protect all that is represented in the gospel of Jesus Christ, a...

What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
When I first went through the temple in the 1970's I had a lot of false hopes built up by such comments as "The temple is the Lord's University," "You'll learn the whole purpose of life." and "Every time I go to the temple I learn something new." When I went through the temple I was expecting to LEA...
