Re: Your tithing dollars at work!

Oh come on Red and Jeff... Can't you see that bonfire's "proposals" are the modern version of the United Order? It's going to work! Really! Really Really!!! I’m interested in why the focus is college campus directed? At some point you graduate and get on with life. Bonfire, are you currently a poli...

Re: Your tithing dollars at work!

Voluntary organization is not government since there is no monopoly on violence. So is it the case that everyone gets to be equally violent, then? (Perhaps more seriously, or less) Is this proposal for a voluntary organization somehow related to libertarian principles? Or ... how does it relate to ...

Re: What's up with the "countenance" concept?

There is something to be said regarding countenances. When a person sins their behavior changes, or rather their spirit that moves them was distracted elsewhere since the last time you observed them so they are not interacting with you on the same conscious level. This concept, or something very si...

Re: Your tithing dollars at work!

No, I am seeking to reward local homeowners that want to sell so others around them can buy their place to use as community centers that act as halfway houses. What about zoning laws or neighbors that may not want to live next to a half way house/community center? Currently in Edmonton, the city is...

Re: Your tithing dollars at work!

We can do this on our own. I have mentioned a college subsidized by HOA yet there is so much more. When members collateralize their own assets to invest in each other without bankers nor businessmen there are no salaries nor services charges to cause entropy. By HOA, you’re referring to a Home Owne...

Have they announced a Queen Creek temple yet? I suppose that's next.
This easily could be a possibility in the near future. 🤣

I love this question BM! Story time. My father was child number 7 of 10. Nearly all of his brothers and sisters (my aunts and uncles) were inactive or had left the church completely. The circumstances were that his parents had left the church and come back so thr younger kids were raised in the chur...

Re: Joseph Smith was so damn tall

Funny story time. On my mission in California, we had somehow come across one of those small portable TV/VCR combos and took it back to our apartment. We shared an apartment with the Spanish speaking elders who were a bit more serious than we were. So we hid it in our closet. Pretty stupid now that ...

Hey Red Ryder, can we have a process thread?
Perhaps it’s because I’m 7 frames and 2 beers into my 4th game of the night, but I have no idea what you mean by a process thread?

Re: Obsessed with growth

The Corp. of the Presiding Bishop is renamed as the LDS Church sometime between June 5, 2019 and July, 8 2019. IIRC, the President, not the Presiding Bishop, is now the Corporate Sole. The Corp. of the President is merged with the LDS Church and dissolved effective December 31, 2020. Whoa. I had no...

As for hostility towards Mormons…

Most of us are still Mormons. Trying to leave. Trying to stay. But still Mormons. The freedom to speak our minds whether for or against the church is a great step in making our own decisions in life.

Re: Obsessed with growth

If you break the church into parts, the first two parts you will get are the corporations. One for the President and one for the Presiding Bishop, LOL!!!!! If you take those corporations and look at the parts, you will soon find that the "church" part of the church really is not a significant part ...

OK… We don’t moderate this board much. But it’s time to step in. Penguin and Elephant, please take your petty off board banter somewhere else. Personally I love you both and the voices you bring to the board. But this back and forth doesn’t need to continue. If it does, the posts will be deleted.

Is it possible they were made from wood?

Tree branches?

Cardboard?

Stone?

Kidding aside, how do the apologists explain this?
