I use that one all the time. They just have a stupor of thought, like their brain wont register it.

Beer vs Diet Coke

I have this ongoing debate with true believers that one beer is better for you than that 32 oz diet coke.

I have no proof, but sure seems like a logical argument to me.

Re: Calling Extended

10 years ago I called up the HP group leader. Back then we were high priests. I said no more teaching i was the instructor, no more home teaching, no more callings. I faded away after that and only attend occasionally. Its been the best 10 years of my life. It took awhile but my spouse came along fo...

Re: Q: What's the difference between...

Mormons think because their leaders speak in soft monotone voices what they say is from god. They are put of by the energy other evangelists put into their act. In the end it is the same, promises but no tangible results.

Re: Return and Report: Magic Mushrooms in the Desert

Whoever or whatever the Divine is sure makes it hard to be enlightened. Every one wants you to jump through hoops to get connected. Be nice to have a god who just would be willing to come have a chat with you. All the hype and drug induced euphoria is not my preference. Yeah, I think that's the com...

Re: Spiritual experience at Longhorn Steakhouse

I'm wondering if the spiritual steak experience could be enhanced with the use of A1 Bold and Spicy or else Lea & Perrins Wooster Sauce. Anyway, Bon Appetit at the Stake Center. Could Pad Thai be the middle path of the Buddha? Chow Fun as the way of the Tao? Tuna Casserole with corn flakes on top a...

Re: Momentum?

Probably part of a broader trend in society. Religion in general is on the decline. My theory is kids now just don’t need it. They have plenty in their lives demanding their time. Throw in that church has become about as boring as it can be for kids and the recipe is i don’t care to be mormon. Sent ...

Re: I will try NOT to FIX you

Re: Saturday evening General Conference is canceled

The church sure seems to be retreating. Not that they have a choice. Soon we may be down to a weekly email from the bishop, no meetings at all Reality is they cant reduce their way out of the problem they created. Boredom, coverups, and the fact more people realize it is all a hoax. How do you fix t...

Re: Elder Oaks as the next Prophet?

I think the next apostle in line could be a total vegetable and the would still prop him up as the prophet, and ordain him as such. Tell us how well he is doing at conference and he loves us all. Sure someone else could run the church but they would maintain their all important status quo they deem ...

Re: Your brain on Mormonism

Twelve years from belief I still find real mormon history and behavior entertaining. But given my druthers I would go back in time to my 17 year old self and convince me to run like hell.

The next prophet being ordained with obvious signs of dementia is a real possibility.

Re: One Month Down. 59 To Go.

Your not a hypocrite if you are using your position to help others and you can retain generally honesty along the way.

A real hypocrite would be someone who is doing it for power and prestige.

It is rather obvious it is all made up. But when you are in it to seems real. Its like some kind of virtual reality someone needs to pull the plug on.
