Re: Helping DW with a sacrament meeting talk
Maybe something about how to spot lies in an argument so that you can known when you are being deceived? And then go into a summary of Carl Sagan's Baloney detection kit. Throw in a couple scriptures for good measure.

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?
Does anyone know if that "If god commanded it" exemption clause was in the original text of the BoM? Or was it something added as part of the "re-editing" the occurred over the JS years to update the book to his evolving theology? Just checked. Original text reads the same. https://bookofmormoncent...

Re: Gratuitous violence in the BOM?
I think Joseph was contemplating polygamy early on. He spent quite a bit of time calling out David and Solomon in Jacob 2 stating that the Lord condemns having many wives but then he cracks open the door for polygamy in verse 30 where he says: " 30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up s...

Re: Joseph Smith “sexual predator” label?
If there was one girl, you might be able to say that and not be just defending the indefensible, but there is a clear pattern. What if apologists were to argue that God wanted Joseph as a prophet because of his uncontrolled lechery? There is always that percentile that will throw away all critical ...

Re: Alcohol?
I drink occasionally. The average month, I will have enough drinks that you can count them on one hand with fingers left over. For me it's mostly cocktails and ciders. Occasionally a craft beer. However, lately DW and I have been experimenting with Baileys in coffee or cocoa. There is also a Strawbe...

Re: What's the point of Oaks sucking up?
His place in line is assured. All Oaks has to do to inherit the big chair is not die . Why does it matter if he crushes his water bottles for recycling or not? Until he gets the big chair, he is still vulnerable. Look at how GBH smacked down RMN or how RMN smacked down DFU. He may be next in line, ...

Re: NOMference Sunday Afternoon Spring 2023!!
More temples...lots more temples. They announced one in Winchester, VA. This is surprising. Winchester is a moderate sized town in semi-rural Northwest, VA. It's about an hour from Washington, DC. It's a bit over an hour from my house and my former stake back before they split the stake a bit over ...

Normally I get a warning that GC is upcoming by all the conference memes that people post on Facebook. Either people are not hyping GC as much or I have trimmed my FB friends to the point they don't post conference stuff. Ahhh... Ignorance is bliss. However, I do follow a couple ex-mo groups, and I ...

Re: 2023 temple ceremony on youtube
Radio Free Mormon did a watch with commentary on the new ceremony. Think about it as something akin to a MST3K or Rifftrax commentary on the video. https://radiofreemormon.org/2023/03/radio-free-mormon-271-new-temple-endowment-hot-takes/ I am traveling this week.

Re: Can girls pass the sacrament?
Hell, boys can't even pass the sacrament in my ward if they aren't wearing a white shirt. I wonder if the shirt is more of a barrier than the gender. I have seen it back when I did go that some boy would intentionally wear a colored shirt so that they had an excuse to not have to pass. That way the...

Re: Sealing rules?
The conversation I was having came to an abrupt end when the ladies shut it down stating that God wouldn’t make them have to participate in eternal polygamy. Unfortunately this isn't true. If they are sealed to a man and then the wife dies and the man is sealed to another woman in this life, both w...
