Re: Worldwide bicycle ban?

https://www.toyota.com/avalon/ (I had to look it up) Only two companionships in our mission had cars. The rest of us were on bikes. If true I don't think they're going to be purchasing vehicles all over the place, I think the bike areas just became walking areas. I'm sure it has to do with liabilit...

Are they personally aware of any documents, records, or papers discovered that were not included or published? If so, which ones and why was the decision made to not publish them?

Re: Finally Saw Rogue One

[But I'm afraid that this may be where these movies are heading, you need an immense amount of background knowledge to enjoy this stuff nowadays or even know what's going on... Might it have something to do with the expectations going in? If you go in expecting the worst and it's average you probab...

Re: It's that time of the every-other-year again

I have kept a recommend up until recently, even though my wife, Bishop, and Stake President all know I'm a non-believer and minimal participator, yet all of them think it's so important for me to have an active recommend. I don't get it. Can someone help me understand? 1) The organizational church ...

Re: 2017 General Conference Autopsy Report

For example, one of the themes discussed is that the LDS Church is more important than anything else . . . including your family. Listening live that message came through loud and clear. I'd say it was the overall theme of the April '17 conference sessions. Another theme is that there are no more m...

Re: Don't think I can go back to church after today

•Satan has perverted “other” churches and those religions oppress the members. ROTFLOL. LDS church, I served other churches. I know other churches. Other churches are friends of mine. LDS church, you're no other churches. My experience in other churches is that you attend and largely relax as the p...

Nerd hat.

Wookies have a lifespan of 400 years. He was about 200 in e4 so he was about 230 in e7. Still, that's slightly over the hill. Old enough to have a little gray.

Re: Finally Saw Rogue One

Probably goes wihtout saying but the prequels killed my enthusiasm for all things Star Wars. Up to that point I had read some of the expanded universe books so I was somewhere between fan of the movies and all out SW nerd. I didn't want to watch e3 but forced myself to, just for sake of completion, ...

Re: ‘Trust gap’ hounds the Mormon church, research shows - SLT

I've heard the following phrase quite often: "I'm not having a faith crisis, the church is having a truth crisis." I find myself wondering... will the "trust gap" create a generation of people that are essentially written off as a lost cause, but the rising generation won't be as affected because th...

Re: Bednar talk on missionary callings

So,senior missionaries can pick and choose where they go. Is their calling different? Are they not call by the lords anointed? I think they do it that way for a few reasons: 1) Senior missions don't follow that same program the youth missions follow where everyone pays the same monthly amount regar...

Re: Satan Uses Logic and Reasoning Against Us?

It sounds like another way of saying "trust in the lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding" or "for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the lord." He tries to convince us that it is useless to live the principles of the gospel. What are t...

Re: Where Did All The Pioneers Go?

Here's a quote I dust off from time to time: A genuine first-hand religious experience like this is bound to be a heterodoxy to its witnesses, the prophet appearing as a mere lonely madman. If his doctrine prove contagious enough to spread to any others, it becomes a definite and labeled heresy. But...
