Missed somethings in conferece

Normally I get a warning that GC is upcoming by all the conference memes that people post on Facebook. Either people are not hyping GC as much or I have trimmed my FB friends to the point they don't post conference stuff. Ahhh... Ignorance is bliss. However, I do follow a couple ex-mo groups, and I ...

Re: 2023 temple ceremony on youtube

Radio Free Mormon did a watch with commentary on the new ceremony. Think about it as something akin to a MST3K or Rifftrax commentary on the video. https://radiofreemormon.org/2023/03/radio-free-mormon-271-new-temple-endowment-hot-takes/ I am traveling this week.

Re: Where will you go?

Where will you go? What will you do? Brunch with friends. The lake with the kids. The barn with my horses. Visit the many various locations of the Church of the Great Blue Dome in my region. Sleep in after a long week. Work on projects around the house. Help friends with projects at their houses. Va...

Re: Can girls pass the sacrament?

Hell, boys can't even pass the sacrament in my ward if they aren't wearing a white shirt. I wonder if the shirt is more of a barrier than the gender. I have seen it back when I did go that some boy would intentionally wear a colored shirt so that they had an excuse to not have to pass. That way the...

Re: Sealing rules?

The conversation I was having came to an abrupt end when the ladies shut it down stating that God wouldn’t make them have to participate in eternal polygamy. Unfortunately this isn't true. If they are sealed to a man and then the wife dies and the man is sealed to another woman in this life, both w...

Re: Technology- has it ruined music?

If someone were to develop an AI to listen to popular music and generate new musics based on what is popular, I would expect that you end up with something like Nickleback. Everywhere you go,any one you ask, they always say they hate Nickleback. They are the butt of sooo many jokes about the music i...

Re: Is it possible to get your donation history from the church?

I guess another way to ask the question is do I have the legal right to request an accounting of all the tithing I have paid in my lifetime, and how would I go about it? I'm sure they have a record of it. Not that I would necessarily go to the effort if it turned out to be a complex bureaucratic ki...

Re: Is it possible to get your donation history from the church?

I heard a rumor that the church is deleting all member donation records. Probably just a rumor, but it would certainly make sense why they would want to do so with grumblings of class action suits floating around. I have seen similar rumors floating around. It could be a simple matter of bad timing...

Re: Church paying $5 Million SEC fine

If I am understanding thing correctly, the got a $5M fine for failure to disclose a $35B investment fund. So if they make 7% interest of that money, that fund alone will earn the $5M back in 6.81 hours. Meaning that by the time the check has cleared, they have already make back their money. $5 is n...

Re: Adam Ondi Ahman

I'm fairly sure that is the plot of the movie The Omen: The Final Conflict. Isn't the NT pretty clear that the 2nd coming will be when Jesus returns in full power and glory and will cast out Satan from off the face of the earth? Any 2nd coming without full power and glory could be taken as a false p...

Re: Church paying $5 Million SEC fine

To put this in perspective: If you had $100,000 in the bank and we’re fined by the SEC you would be paying a $5 fine. It says more about the lack of enforcement bite the SEC has to slap billion dollar companies with meaningful fines. The church won’t ever admit they hid assets and this is considere...

Re: Anyone want to discuss the changes to the temple?

Is the whole thing a slide show?

Wasn't the 2019 change a slideshow into at the start of the endowment and then live action film after that? Did the whole thing go the power point route or am I miss understanding this?
