Re: UT.gov: Back to Church RMN: Not Yet
Hagoth wrote- Also, Pres. Nelson has received an enormous outpouring of praise for proving himself to be a true prophet allowing people to have Sunday school at home. Regardless of what he says about when to go to meetings or not go to meetings it will be received as testimony-edifying prophesy. Ex...

Re: RFM: Nothign Up My Sleeve...
I thought RFM did a great job with this. It's a new angle, something we rarely get. And the BoM translation is the one thing that I've never seen a good explanation for. One thing RFM didn't mention was the pulpit-curtain trick he did in Kirtland. Remember how he dropped a curtain around himself (a...

I hope that the author never has to face himself in the mirror and repeat these words, "Oh no, it was all made up and I wrote what??"

Don't forget that this will be the THIRD fast for the Coronovirus. They did one just for Italy on 3/11-3/12.

Re: No Book of Mormon, no gathering of Israel???
This April En-sun talk pisses me off for very personal reasons. There is a lot of damage in my family over the hurtful, shame-filled teachings that my DW was raised in. Now, when her uber-TBM mother reads this crap it sends her into mean mode and she breaks all the communication rules we have reques...

Re: COVID-19 -- game in play
In in NorCal. My best pal is a law enforcement office way up in the leadership (trying to be careful). He just told me he heard that looting has begun in SF. It's such a big, populated city with one of the largest homeless populations (not blaming here, just stating a fact) and I have to imagine ki...

Re: Alex Boye's "American Prophet" (An Urban Musical)
Minute 1:36 to 1:43, the guy helping people out of the wagon/cage. That looks like Rod Meldrum. That would actually make sense to me, he's a hustler with just enough delusion to think that this would be a good investment. I didn't see his name inthe credits, but I'll bet my last senum its him.

If it gets headlines, and then another gets headlines, etc... then I am happy for the press alone. Time to wash off the squeeky clean enamel.

Re: Cremation v.s. Burial
Best funeral ever: I have a loose bunch of friends who build sailboats and expedition rowing boats. One of them died and his grandson suggested a Viking funeral. One of the guys built a yard-long replica of a Viking ship, filled it with tinder and gunpowder and poured the cremated remains on top. W...

Re: Cremation v.s. Burial
My mom died in 2018, was cremated and wanted to be spread some day with my dad. He got sick shortly after her passing and died in 2019, almost 12 months later. Oddly, both from pancreatic cancer. Anyway, both of them thought that expensive caskets and gravesites were a waste. They wanted 2 things; t...

Re: Is there a better example to show that all of this is made up than the transfiguration of Brigham Young?
I recently discovered Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth on Prime video. I think I had to rent or buy it, but it was worth every penny and I will definitely rewatch. It's an old PBS interview from the 80s and at first glance looks boring and has terrible production quality. But if you haven't see...

Re: Key Indicators?
The phrase "key indicators" made me go into seizures. We had that beaten into us when I was a young bishop being trammeled by an SS Commander SP. Anecdote: in 2019 an old mission comp (super TBM guy with family connected to GAs in one of those GA-rich wards, and a dad in a high-profile church office...

This one is SOOOO egregious that I am almost forced to bring it up with my TBM family. They are force-feeding the gaslighting now.
