Re: RubinHighlander's avatar
You've all got it wrong. I've met RH. That's a picture of him. He actually wears that hat everywhere he goes. And he carries an ice chest. Don't ask him what's in it! OMG, you'er killing me Hagoth! I do have a unicorn mask I've been known to wear out there in the west desert. I promise to acquire a...

Re: Oh the times they are a changin'
Times are changing, but the law hasn't. It's a huge fallacy across the Christian world that the Christian god founded and rules everything our federal and state governments do. I used to think that way. According to WikiP, Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible when taking the oath in 1901. Both Joh...

Re: Ikigai, or having a raison d'etre
Achilles bro, so sorry to see you suffering like this. Can't add a lot to what's already been said, but have you tried any CDB for your physical ailments? It's literally been a miracle daily supplement for my DW at about 50MG per day, not only for her arthritis but her mood is so much happier. She h...

Re: Would you let your kids be chipped?
Our last child, now a teen, has been more a pain the the assets than all the rest of them combined. I might be tempted to utilize said chip if it provided a significant reduction in drama and dumb assery.

Re: Need Advice - Potential Visit from a Seventy
Pull out a copy of the Faith Crisis Report. Point out that the church has had the information about the major reasons people leave for over a decade now. So far all the changes they've made look like an admission of guilt. Or, just use one particular example, go to Radio Free Mormon and use the info...

Re: Talking in tongues
It can also be done either sincerely or deceptively and there's no way of disputing it. In fact it can be made to look even more genuine if another believer or accomplice claims to understand the gibberish. Which leads us to the Kirkland(?) temple vision where Joseph describes what he is seeing and...

Re: The long rumored temple changes are happening now?
Easy - put all the funny clothing on before you go in and sit down. Without all the dressing and struggling with the switching around of that apron, robe, chef's hat and string, I'd estimate you'd chop 20 minutes off the session. The sisters would also appreciate getting rid of that veil over their ...

As far as the whole last days narrative, judge for yourself if you believe the world is getting worse and the last days are upon us:

Re: Areas where science has forced the church to change their story/approach/whatever?
Blessings of healing are not necessarily out, but no one expects them to work all by themselves without science-based medical care. Plus modern expectations for them are already so low that we now have Elder Bednar asking the critical question, "do you have the faith not to be healed?" I think they...

Re: Areas where science has forced the church to change their story/approach/whatever?
Maybe this was the Mormon version of climate denial at that time. Speaking of climate change, what is the Mormon/LDS/Saints Church position on this? Any visions or revelations? I think this is a topic of convenience for TSCC. They use natural disasters to drive fear into members about the last days...

Re: Alcohol Content of Beer in Utah vs Walmart
I rarely buy beer from the grocer, it's better to buy directly from the brewery and distillers and bypass the bullshit. There are no breweries here that I know of. The local state liquor store is the closest (and the most expensive) place to buy liquor with normal alcohol content. But, then, there'...

Re: How to Reconcile LDS Doubts
I’m going to leave this community with this: I’m the literal spirit of the soul that was known as Azrael in the time before Adam. I hold the Keys to Resurrection and Reincarnation. I’ve known these truths since I was 4 years old. I’ve been guided by the spirit to know my role and destiny. I’m the l...

Re: How to Reconcile LDS Doubts
So far most of what I’ve encountered here are fragile discussions propped up in opposition with fallacy and blanket statements rooted in fear and illogic. Nobody has been able to articulate why they disagree with anything I’ve said except, “I’m here because I don’t even believe, but let me tell you...

I have vivid memories of many years of awful painful moments, dealing with a cheating narcissistic spouse and divorce with three kids. I'm glad I wasn't going through my faith crisis on top of it! I would try to use the affair card with your TBM family. They may still put the blame on your faith cri...
