Re: 36 new missions created - why?

More opportunities to call mission presidents? Which also increases the pool of future general authorities. The way I see this, there is already a pool of Stake Presidents that serve on average for a period of 10 years. What happens to the stake presidents after released? Our former SP was called a...

Re: Mom would have been a great bishop!

The At Last She Said It podcast had a good episode about this. In a world where women can be CEO’s, Doctors, Astronauts, etc… they surely are qualified to be a Bishop. Imagine masturbation and worthiness interviews with a woman Bishop! Son, you need to clean up after yourself! Yo Momma is so righteo...

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...

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 ...

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...
