Re: Heartlanders at it again
Woof. Dang it Michigan is pretty narrow...Distances still seem to be an issue but, you get to believe what you want to believe.
Hence the Bigfoot sticker on my rig...Or should it be a Cain sticker?

Remember "the book of Mormon isn't a historical document". It's the new narrative.

Re: Ministering, YM, EQ, and the Bishopric
Curiously the Bishop is the President of the Aaronic Priesthood and that's why he has 1st and 2nd assistants who come from the Priest's quorum. As long as 20 years ago when I was EQP I was taught that I was "the Bishop" except for worthiness issues to the Elders in the ward. I had to go to families ...

Re: Shifting towards gay acceptance?
Denver Snuffer is leading a schism right now, the reason I consider it a schism is they have their own version of the standard works (canon). https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article171025577.html They have enough serious organization, "conferences", unique and revised doctrine that they ar...

Re: Missed Tithing Settlement
The idea that someone in SLC is going to read the Bishop's report and say "ah-ha!" Is an example of how fearful you are of what is a voluntary organization. Nobody anywhere cares but you. The Bishop may have an "oh poop, missed one" moment but that's about it. Nobody is losing their recommend over t...

Re: Shifting towards gay acceptance?
In my lifetime: 1978 Priesthood ban lifted. No schism. (Schism defined as the formal separation of a Church into two Churches or the secession of a group owing to doctrinal and other differences) 1990 Huge changes to temple endowment includes penalties removed, language changes like removing "Popes ...

Re: Shifting towards gay acceptance?
Also in the lexicon of the church "LGBTQ" is now far more commonly used than SSA (Same Sex Attracted).
*** Just used LDSliving with its own search tool:
LGBTQ gets 50+ returns
Same Sex Attracted = 0
Same Sex Attraction = 0
That's saying something.

Re: Shifting towards gay acceptance?
The trick isn't finding an over 40 year that's got issues with gay marriage -- it's finding an under 30. This will be change from the ground up. As mentioned most LDS and LDS related folks keep it off the radar...but once Cosmo is out you can't hide him again. The new handbook has a very interesting...

Re: Anti-miracles
I was always taught that Satan is powerless in this world--just as he cannot create, he cannot force. So I can see the idea that Satan is busy planting bad ideas in folks but really--why did that chunk of concrete fall off that building? And right when a kind, generous person is passing beneath? One...
