Re: More NOM posters needed
uld be something like: I'd suggest using a different word than reevaluations - if you read it on the run, it looks like 'revelations.' How about 'doubts' ??? Good point, we should never underestimate the dyslexic factor! I would worry that the word transition might frighten some potential posters o...

Re: Zadok's Mission Report
What a marvelous undertaking! Sorry about that Brookings Institute lunch SNAFU. Don't forget to check out the Archimedes Waffle House in Eureka, California. You might even ask them for a peek at the hot tub where he had his famous Epiphany, (as well as her sister Euphonia and best friend Trixie). Th...

Re: United States election discussion
A Davis County relative of mine, whom I won't identify for fear of backlash, was blindsided by those she considered good friends and colleagues in her Mormon ward, or congregation, berating her 12-year-old daughter because the family had a Hillary Clinton sign in the yard. The harangue came during ...

More NOM posters needed
I support the Field of Dreams idea that if you build it, they will come. However, other affirmative actions can be effective once the structure is built. How is the quest for getting the word out regarding this message board coming? What can be done to advertise? Is there a budget for a sign board a...

Re: Closing the Little Factory
The Little Factory closing mirrors the advanced age of the Brethren. I suppose over time the Little Factories fell behind the building code for wiring and hydraulics, not to mention that their quotas were way behind schedule. I am assuming the Church wished to avoid the embarrassment this Little Fac...

Re: The Divine Genius of the Lord's Church - Ensign Article
But the basics of our doctrine are now well in place, and we are firmly established as a people, at least until the Lord should mandate another move. We do not need innovation . We need devotion in adherence to divinely spoken principles. Even the whitest sepulchers and most spacious of buildings s...

Re: Tithing blessings and magical thinking
People used to make offerings to placate the gods from sending bad events such a drought, pestilence, and floods into their lives. The gods were in the protection racket back then. Now the shift is to the blessings racket. For those who actually believe, you have to ask yourself if your God would tr...

Re: Worthiness
Control through shame and self-doubt probably lessens the worthiness of the individual inducing those feelings.

Re: Utah Mormons don't "have their back" for Muslims
This is evidenced by the fact that McMullen was in the lead until the white supremacist robocall accused him of being gay and same-sex marriage tolerant, at which point the votes immediately jumped over to Trump, who they saw as less gay-tolerant, which is a bigger deal for them than his own grievo...

Re: United States election discussion
Trump did not appeal to Utah Mormons in the most effective way. He could have reminded his Utah audience that it was an armed incursion from Mexico which illegally crossed the border and hunted down righteous fugitive Moroni. Those so-called Mexicans sought to persecute Moroni on "trumped up" charge...

Re: Alcohol and video games
It might be useful to put inebriated bar patrons in front of the video screen and let them drive home somewhat safely. Hope they are firmly seat belted to the stool when they inevitably hit some digital tree.

Re: Tithing blessings and magical thinking
Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a way to document whether the Prosperity Gospel works better for people who have more money in the first place, particularly those from wealthy families who inherit, are set up in business, or are afforded costly educations by way of family money.

Re: Soundtrack of the NOM
I would love to hear the Tabernacle Choir sing this song for General Conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSLPH9d-jsI It would be fine with me if some General Authority followed this rousing song with a plea to Dovahkiinize our lives with the help of a product line of Dovahkiin T-shirts and n...

A moment where it can call forth new truth and establish being Mormon as a spiritually fulfilling experience to nourish all willing to participate...

Re: New financial policy in Europe
Sounds like it is doomed to fail through an Orwellian bureaucracy and will ultimately cause members to leave the Church in frustration.
