BTW...The Book of Abraham is really dodgy. It was the first major crack in my testimony of JS's teachings...

Same here.

But at least we still have chiasmus in the book of Mormon!

The "whatever happened to the lectures on faith?" Question may become the "whatever happened to the pearl of great price?" Question...

I kind of think this has already happened. Is there even one example of the Correlated lesson manuals for this year referencing Book of Abraham in any context?

That was almost sad. There IS no help for the widow's son.

"Stay in the Boat" (that)Leaks

If you only had faith enough to bail faster that boat would not be sinking.

It seems like an old form of stuffy english. Or a good way to weld different clauses together to make Even more unwieldy run on sentences.

Man, I leak all the time!!

What kind of hits do you get for the name "Zelph"?

Seems like there is a lot of interest in the Book of Abraham controversy and current apologetic efforts to obfuscate the issue. Here is some additional information that just wrecks the apologists' arguments. There is an Egyptologist with the University of Chicago, Robert K. Ritner, who initially pub...

This is the smoking gun I tell ya. If you want "proof" that Joseph Smith was not what he said he was, it's right there in the book of Abraham.

Same here, I will never be normal. I don't really even know what a normal relationship looks like.

Sigh.

On the other hand, if your goal is to develop a core following of zealots among youth and scare away reasonable youth, then it’s a brilliant strategy. It's either a brilliant strategy, or the Law of Unintended Consequences in operation again... either way the result is the same - further alienation...

In January 2016 Elder Nelson announced, at a BYU-Hawaii talk, that this exclusionary reaction stemmed from a revelation. See how the church keeps painting itself into historical corners ? What will they do 20 years down the road, when they will be forced to admit that LGBTQ people should not be dis...

At least none of these figures are really canopic jars.

And I would love to know what the snack tray is going on about.

Just be yourself, she will figure it out. Maybe make sure your co worker knows that her being LDS doesn't matter to you...

Best wishes.

I'm not a witch [slave].

But you look like a witch [slave].

You put these on me! [Carved my snout and ears off]!

Please tell me that was a parody.

That tears it. We have to change the forum name to

"New Order Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saintses". NOCoJCoLDSs for short.

Catchy, no? Remember to use the correct font, please.

Good one Hagoth. I guess ridiculing the Apologist can wait since logic and facts work so much better.

I have always thought it was strange that 1800s racial views got embedded in the interpretation of Facsimile 3.

Well, of course there were Caananites in the land, it was right there on the scrolls: Book of Abraham Facsimile 3: https://broadcast.lds.org/crowdsource/mobile/images/1241076/92b7fc97b4a04b14a3a3d4854db393f5/3162x2048.jpg Everybody else is White, the Caananite is obviously indicated by the color of ...

Oh, yea, somebody shot J.R.
