I’m ok with members cleaning weekly. But God forbid, can we please have someone do a deep clean on a quarterly basis? Our building smells so bad when you walk in even the Holy Ghost gets offended as we all swear under our breath. It’s a hint of mold, dirty diapers, stale air, and dirty deacon socks...

Honestly, I dread the idea of being on my death bed, having denied God because I got doubtful about church money, controversies, contradictions, church history, while denying all the good blessings I had received as a believer. I don't know who originally said this, but I find it truthful. There ar...

I think a good portion of the decline is a reflection of the internet in general. Message boards like this just are not as popular as they used to be. A lot of people shifted to sites like Redit & Quora, but even those have seen declines in the number of posts of that last few years. I am a member o...

If anyone is interested in fringe religion and fringe science in general, I would suggest Oh, No Ross can Carrie. The tagline is: "When it comes to religion, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal, we show up so you don't have to." They will investigate various religions, often joining them for ...

Lets put some numbers to this and look at the results. Numbers come from US Census Bureau and the article linked. In 2008, US population was 304,100,000. 1.8% of that is 5,473,800 LDS members. In 2022, US population was 333,290,000. 1.2% of that is 3,999,480 LDS members. WOW!!! So in a time where th...

Pages 3-50: pictures of people being really happy as they write tithing checks, walk through the temple doors, sit in meetings, gaze lovingly at the TV during general conference, and scrub the toilets. Wow, they've been doing photo ops like these for so long that I can already vividly see each one....

The prophet has received new revelation!

"No Penguins" Well, there go the Linux servers... We always knew they had stock in Microsoft. Anything to grow the portfolio.

2 is a late forged addition to Luke. It's a fake. That revealed scripture doubles down on it only proves the falseness of three Mormon claim. This is new info to me. Can you share more?

This is the type of scone that I was raised on. I still love the occasional one with a drizzle of honey butter.

This has caused me a lot of confusion since I moved to the east coast and here they have the traditional British style scones. I have to make my own.

I pick and choose. I have a long commute so I listen to a lot of podcasts. Science, news, economics, hobbies, etc. There is some ex-mo podcasts, I'm really picky about them these days. I used to be big fans of Infants on Thrones. However, that team has fallen apart and the little new content they do...

Does anyone know if polyester is flammable in large quantities when stored over time? Is large amount of polyester flammable? Yes. Time doesn't really factor into it much. In the US polyester used for consumer garments is required to have a fire retardant coating. There are also various fire codes ...

I am finding conflicting reports. MSN says that it was purchased via one of LDSinc's property investment companies. https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/other/mormon-church-buys-wembley-amazon-warehouse-for-%C2%A374-million-via-charitable-company/ar-AA1bIPIk But other news outlets are saying it was part ...

https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/18/tech/elon-musk-world-hunger-wfp-donation/index.html A bit over a ago, the UN came up with a proposed program that estimated that they could end world hunger for about $7B a year. LDS inc has the resources to set up an endowment that could fully fund such a program for ...

Back in pre-historic times when I was attending Polygamy Palaces, when they pulled out the "Prayer Roll" it looked like they had stuffed all the names into a fancy tissue box. Maybe it's the Fancy Tissue Box™ that holds all the Magick power to help all the people who's names are "on the roll" in th...

Yeah, I had the cassette single of that back in the day. Different world then, back when the church was allowed to laugh at itself.

Reason not to resign: Infuriate those people who think/say "you should just leave" when you interrupt in Sunday school/priesthood/Relief Society again when a "Well, actually..."

I’d just get up in sacrament meeting and type in a theme for a talk and read the chatgpt in real time.

The sad part is most people probably wouldn't notice. Either they will zone out like they always do, or just assume any weird nonsense is just a person goofing their talk.

Most of the links seem to be working now, except the one on the CBS News site: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/the-churchs-firm-sunday-on-60-minutes/?intcid=CNM-00-10abd1h Worked fine for me. I laughed at this exchange: Reporter: What do you think about the idea that secrecy builds mistrust? LDS Mana...
