Re: Lavina Vs. Avraham
Totally understandable. Avraham has had friends in high places, which always makes a big difference, especially in an organization like the Church. He's been supporting the Church's end-times theology. Lavina committed a sin worse than murder -- questioning the patriarchy. And being a woman. What ma...

Re: Has Tim Ballard Been Excommunicated?
Let's not forget MRB's history of fraud going all the way back to 1962: https://www.sec.gov/news/digest/1962/dig072462.pdf It goes back earlier than that. In the video that AllieOop posted previously, Lynn Packer meticulously details to Bill Reel and RFM Russell Ballard's long history of fraudulent...

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: Your tithing dollars at work!
To balance the haves with the have-nots I would explain that supporting the homeless provides greater security, the revenue returns dividends, having a third-party handle court or corrections responsibilities engenders peace at home, or publishing forums, reddit, news, or edutainment encourages kno...

Joe doesn't keep it organized so it's hard to find all of them -- it's a running tally. Here's the latest case he shared: https://www.joemygod.com/2023/10/florida-prison-chaplain-arrested-in-child-sex-sting/ He keeps the tally on Twitter (which I'm not very fond of, especially after Musk took it ove...

Re: Thom Harrison and "Visions of Glory"
I finished the second episode and I continue to be dazed by how broad Thom Harrison's influence is across the entire spectrum of fringe Mormonism, including Rod Meldrum and the Heartland BoM people, and disturbed by how respected he and his followers are as therapists. One of the panelists mentione...

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: Thom Harrison and "Visions of Glory"
One observation I would like to make, that was not commented on, is that many of Thom Harrison's visions seem to be deeply grounded in the teachings of Joseph Fielding Smith. Several of the excerpts they played were built upon JFS's theology and fleshed out by Harrison, often in very dark and distu...

Re: Fight The New Drug
And what is amazing, is that some of the people who commit the worst sexual excesses, are closely associated with churches, i.e., Jimmy Swaggert, or Jim Bakker, or a number of Catholic priests, or Jerry Falwell and wife. Or the prophet Joseph, who appears to have been a man of strong sexual appetit...

Re: Fight The New Drug
Maybe I am missing something or maybe something is getting lost in translation. But these recent posts by Bonfire make no sense to me. They don't even seam like something written by a TBM. It comes across more like AI generated nonsense than a coherent point about anything. Please correct me if I a...

John Dehlin's comments in a recent Mormon Stories episode regarding "Visions of Glory" and the problems around it really caught my attention. They weren't exactly related to this discussion, though FtND was mentioned concerning their connections to Thom Harrison. John posed the question, Why does th...

Re: Thom Harrison and "Visions of Glory"
I don't know that they're behaving in contrast to Thom's teachings or beliefs.
