All of this business acquiring leads me to assume that, as the church owns and operates more and more for-profit businesses, that the emphasis on promoting General Authorities will lean even more heavily toward lawyers and businessmen. What are the implications for the future of common members in su...

Raytheon huh? Are you sure the church hasn't moved from building malls to protect its temples to building anti-anti-Mormon missiles?

While observing the battle between the law and the spirit, Jesus thought the spirit should win. However, Jesus did not have a multi-national corporation to run or payrolls to meet.

And look where THAT got him.

I don't think this law was aimed at TBOM musical. It was meant to discourage strip clubs.

Yes, interesting how such laws can be twisted into acts of counter-persecution in a behind-the-scenes theocracy.

Also, at the end of 2016 the total running costs for the Temple View project was $97,332,000 with capital commitments of $23,535,000. Add in a pending expensive Temple, patron motel and temple workers accomodation refurb and I dare say this project will approach $150-200,000,000. That's obscene. Wh...

Let's be honest here: The definition of "inappropriate affection" for a same-sex couple in a LDS-Inc. "church" meeting would be ANY AFFECTION AT ALL. Correct, and if they are sincere about only expecting gay people to conform to the same laws of chastity as straight people they need to start cracki...

At no time does anyone define "inappropriate affection." What if a man has his arm around another man? What if two women are holding hands? Are these inappropriate? In the church's various attempts to appear openminded they admit that there really are gay people but that, gosh darn it, the same rul...

I felt similarly as I was doing the research. It was like a long series of WTF?! moments. Glad you liked it! I have a favor to ask, Consiglieri (you have no obligation to comply, of course). Would it be possible to get a short list of the instances of intentionally modified documents and "remembere...

I finally listened. What a fantastic piece of research, Consiglieri. I didn't think this could happen to me anymore, but I was almost shocked by the blatant lies that were published in the History of the Church, particularly the ones where the wording of documents was intentionally changed to say th...

Fascinating stuff. Thanks, no1saint.

I saw this and found it rather boring. These guys are just pulling answers out of their a$$es. There is no evidence-based knowledge ever shared or know by these clowns. And that's exactly why this stuff is so dangerous. A Prophet Seer and Revelator and apostle of Jesus Christ spews this crap and pe...

From John Dehlin: Last night during my interview with Grant Palmer about "Restoring Christ" he revealed three things: 1) His GA is not James Hamula. 2) His GA spoke with James Hamula yesterday, because they have a previous close relationship. 3) His impression is that Hamula was excommunicated for a...

Here's a fascinating article that details a specific example of the duplicitous holy mafia management style of God's Kingdom on Earth:

(Those of you who know me in real life - If I "disappear" from the DAMU, see the above sentence in parenthesis to figure out what happened to me. )

The NOM board has an amber alert poised to be deployed if that should happen.

Here's an excerpt: http://i.imgur.com/QNxte4w.png I did not add the highlights. A couple of other gems that popped out at me are: From the answer to the question about how to deal with same-sex couples showing affection: "We have to be certain that our legislature protects the church." From the answ...

. Only the BoM has been singled out to disallow adult beverages during the performance. All other performances so far have permitted drinks. I saw Spamalot in the same theater and it easily had as much sexual innuendo, although hot as much R-rated language, as the BoM Musical. I'm trying to remembe...

There is also an astoundingly high correlation between those have schizophrenia and the reported incidence of visions and hearing voices from the beyond.

It's called building the Kingdom of God on earth. Haven't you read the parable of the talents? They don't want to be unprofitable servants, even it its at the cost of being unservicable prophets.

Do Baptists, Evangelicals, Jews, Muslims, and Scientologists all have some sort of testimony that their beliefs are ultimately and directly from God to the exclusion of all others This is one of my favorite things to point out (see my signature line). It is the height of arrogance to assume that ou...
