“nothing like a Mormon concept at all.” I beg to differ . Look at Abrahim chapters 4and 5 and you will see it is the “Gods” who create the earth according to their ( the Gods plural )plans. Irrespective of you personal beliefs about the book of Abraham You can’t get more “Mormon “ than that. I reco...

For those ,if any ,interested I again recommend reading the whole talk which as mentioned will be posted on his website soon.The next conference will be in Layton UT at the end of Sept. The talk is up here: http://denversnuffer.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Our-Divine-Parents-FINAL.pdf He reall...

A lot has been said about Joseph Bishop and what he did as mission president at the MTC. Why did he continue to receive leadership callings for years while he now admits that he had a problem with molesting women? Was his calling inspired? If so what is the advantage of having inspired callings? An...

The messages were blandly nice, but could hardly be called transcendent. I can't imagine that anyone is panicking and worried thinking, "On no! the great messages from the prophet won't be there any longer! Where will I get my messages from God?" Did these messages ever really stand out as somethin...

I look forward to the pat downs and body cavity searches looking for writing implements and recording devices as we walk into the chapel. It will be like going to the airport except with less due process and no individual rights.

I got fussed at for saying that Mormonism doesn't celebrate Easter, and this is why. It's not that Mormons don't hide eggs, eat chocolate, and buy Easter outfits, it's that there's no specific religious rite that's associated with the holy day. Mormons observe Easter in the same way they observe Pio...

You're not selling this data to Cambridge Analytica are you? Kidding. I'll take it.

I took the survey and now весь текст на русском

It is the worst. People over 35 are insulted if you don't at least call. People under 30 never answer their damned phones if you do call, so catching them in person or texting is all you can do. Between those ranges... its a crap shoot. If I'm lining up speakers for at least two weeks out, texting ...

Imagine you're an 18 year old kid who bishop is delaying your mission for masturbating or looking at boobies. Then you hear about this guy. How can the church possibly punish horny kids for being horny kids while this guy walks? The best theory out there is that this Bishop guy got his second anoin...

I just finished reading Karen Armstrong's The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions and am in the middle of Larry Siedentop's Inventing the Individual: The Origins of Western Liberalism . Both of these writers touch on this. Armstrong's book traces the origins and transform...

Mine was processed May of 2017. Took about two weeks. No lawyer. Don't know why anyone would use one. Having been on the administrative side in the stake, here's the difference. When a resignation letter is given to a Bishop, they are the ones who have to put it into the system. They fill out a for...

I’m trying to make sense of the whole experience. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable to be the object of a virtual stranger’s fervent prayers. Like I said, I was moved -- but my disbelief isn’t a result of not praying and reading scripture, but of a whole array of problems that I can no longer ov...

I heard that big changes were coming, but maybe they should slow down a little. Whew!

So, they are pairing men w/ their wives to make sure the men actually go. My TBM husband never does his HT. I always tried to do my VT. I opted out of VT, including being visit taught, at least 5 years ago. It has been wonderful. So I'm not going to go "ministering", nor will I encourage my husband...

Here it is: @Mormon_Leaks - 4:05 PM - 16 Mar 2018 Additionally, multiple sources close to the matter have confirmed that the @LDSchurch is replacing the Home and Visiting Teaching programs with a program called 'Ministering'. Participants will be referred to as 'Ministering Brothers' and 'Ministeri...

If each person does a wimpy 2 temple sessions per week and has a two week vacation... Yes, that is baptism, initiatory, ordination, endowment, and sealings which might take you all morning for one name. But you only need to do two per week Doing this 2x per week with 2 weeks annual vacation for 1,0...

Does the baptism have to happen before resurrection? If not, then you could just resurrect everyone and the dead can help baptize the dead. Or, if it DOES have to happen before resurrection because magic, then you could get everyone from the first resurrection to pitch in. Since they have perfect an...

Remember, GC will be on April 1st.

It makes you wonder if the resurrection was on April fools day.

Peter - I just can't believe he's gone. I'm devastated and will never recover.

Jesus - Psyche.

I'm going to go through my normal routine. Anything interesting will be splashed all over the internet at the end of the day. If something's especially interesting, then I'll wait until its in print and read it. At this point, I'm more excited about the new Han Solo movie than discovering the latest...

...Apostates will be accused of living in the past and can't see the divinely guided future. Yep, I bet there will be something along these lines in at least a few talks. "Look to the Future..." they will say. Cuz we all know that the past doesn't matter. After all, they were doing the best they co...
