Re: Past Stance Against Christianity
I wish YouTube had a recording of the early temple film, wherein a (obviously catholic, great and abominable church representative) priest (with a bad perm hairdo) is hired ("I will pay you well") by Satan to preach to Adam and Eve. The early missionary lessons (at least up to the late 80's) also ha...

Re: The Brigham Wheel
I'd like to see a new dinosaur exhibit up at the natural history museum: "How evolution created the Mormon church". It would depict a Jurassic sauropod eating a small chunk of banded jasper in N. America, then migrated south east of the Finger Lakes area where it pooped it out as a smooth gastrolith...

Re: Shunning by Decreee
Now that I've thought about it a bit more, seems to me the letter is actually crafted to be dummied down on purpose. It's just a threat to intimidate. I think they made it so it would not hold up in court because they can't really make that broad of a legal claim without some crime that had been com...

Jebus changed his mind; more land grab in Florida perhaps?
Guess he better cool the planet off a bit first before it's all under water.

Re: "We are belligerents defending good." Boyd Packer
Where'd all this war business come from anyhow? War in heaven? What the hell was that war fought with? Water balloon catapults, but using fence-sitters for projectiles. When I first read that I thought it said "face sitters" as in face hugger alien xenomorphs :D Now that would be a formidable weapo...

Re: Rethinking the Renlund's dented boat
I was thinking about Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern from Shakespeare's Hamlet and wondering how the play may have been different if they hopped out, walked to shore, and talked with Hamlet rather than being stuck in that boat. I mean, Hamlet could have had an alternate soliloquy and things would have...

Re: Lying
I think it depends on your TBM spouse.

That caused her more cogdis and she told me she didn't want to kno...

Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
I learnt I was in a cult!
But I couldn't call my dad because he's the one that got me into that mess. So I marched to that drum for much of my life.
But we both eventually escaped, thanks to the tender noodles of the FSM and other cosmic forces of good.

I like it! I'd add a bunch of stuff about how there's all these rules on the ship about what you can or cannot eat, that you'll be issued a special uniform to wear under your clothes at all times and lots of rules about sexual behavior, because there's only one "magnificent seaman" allowed on that s...

Re: Returning Missionary Procedures
Hey blazerb, that's pretty messed up and makes me sad your mission was a crappy experience overall. I was out there in the UK 83-85 but didn't run into that question upon my return. I'm guessing it was not a standard question for stake presidents (maybe it was just yours), but it may depend on the y...

Re: Eckhart Tolle describing NOMs
So NOMs have a strong element of insanity? That would explain the Starship Nauvoo and its multi-generational mission to "Hie to Kolob" and leave those of us so afflicted behind on Earth. Only to have their precious ship stolen from them by belters. This is the hope I have for Huntsman's lawsuit bei...

Re: How do you get your spouse to see that people can still be good after leaving the church?
My family is an example of one that escaped to better lives and relationships, which can be a big challenge here behind the zion curtain.

I've had this theory for a few years now: If there's an alien attack, it will have been manufactured by the more secretive powers of our government and the military industrial complex.
