Re: Great Surprise--National Geographic
In 2021, Radio Free Mormon interviewed geneticist Dr. Simon Southernton. Dr. Southernton is the guy who first did the DNA research that found the BOM had no link to middle eastern DNA. This is a very detailed look at the science of DNA and exactly why the BOM has no DNA evidence. Big shout out to Dr...

Re: Martin Harris- why did Jos. Smith trust him with the 116 pages?
The simplest explanation is that the idea of the small plates were created after the loss of the 116 pages as a way for JSjr to replace the lost work of the 116 pages, but not have to recreate them word for word which he would be incapable of doing. In a way, it is a surprisingly effective literary ...

The LDS Discussion website and the podcast gives a very detailed dive into the 116 lost pages and the issue with the story.

Re: O.T. Prophets who messed up.
It seems to me that Moses is a fictional account. There is no supporting evidence. All of the stories of the patriarchs were compiled much later than they supposedly happened, and It makes sense to me that the authors took the various oral mythologized myths and legends of the founders of the vario...

Re: Counter Attack: Think Celestial = Think Polygamy!
Could planet K2-18-B possibly be Kolob? The data for the atmospheric composition seem promising. More data will take about a year to analyze, but in the meantime, we could be sending them pinpoint high-frequency broadcasts of Music and the Spoken Word , as well as quotes from Russell M. Nelson.

Re: Daughter on records of church never baptized
Supposedly church policy is that if a child is blessed, but not baptized, they will be dropped from membership records when they turn 18. No idea of that is actually enforced or not.

What's the story with Tim Ballard?
I'm seeing a bunch of stuff about Tim Ballard. I gather that LDSinc is tying to attack him. But for what? Who is Tim Ballard and why is he on the Mormon hit list?
I'm missing something here.

My FIL used to be a bishop and he readily admitted that he got exactly on exactly 2 things for his training as a bishop. "Ja...

I am in the middle of this podcast. I just got to the part of the letter from K&M. WTF???
I have to wait until I drive home from work to finish this episode. May be a good thing since that episode was getting the blood boiling a bit. This is messed up so far.

Re: Please Sir, I Want Some More... Church
What does your son really want here? It sounds like your son wants to go to church to see his friends and right now church is where they meet. Can you encourage him to meet his friends outside of church? An after school or a Saturday activity?

Re: Rethinking the Renlund's dented boat
To further grow the revised analogy, when you are brought onboard, you are shown to some of the guest rooms and are amazed by how nice they look. They have windows, but always have the curtains pulled closed. Once you agree to stay and take the time to really explore the ship you find that you were ...

One thing that stood out to be when I first got my endowment in 2000 pre-mission, was just how much of a let down it was. It is hyped to such extent about how amazing it all was and i came out thinking that I had pretty much heard everything already and there was very little that was actually new. O...

When i got home, I had to report to the stake president. Before he released me, he asked if a church court had been held for me while on the mission. I truthfully answered, "no." He told me that was a standard question that he had to ask all returning missionaries. May I ask how long ago this was? ...
