Re: Was JS the only person who claimed to use seer stones?
I think for Pres. Uchtdorf's analogy to be viable I would have to be able to make a phone call to him from a rock that I found in a well. Make sure you get the exact digital stone number from directory assistance first. It is one thing to call the Church offices, but you need to also know the miner...

Re: Was JS the only person who claimed to use seer stones?
This quote slipped my mind earlier, but everyone is to have a seer stone: In 1841, Joseph showed his other, whitish stone to the Council of the Twelve in Nauvoo and told them, Brigham Young reported, “that every man who lived on the earth was entitled to a seer stone and should have one, but they a...

Re: BYU Honor Code Office Sweeping Changes
I hope this does not simply mean that traditional Honor Code practices will be conducted in an even more clandestine manner. The time-honored black hood and robes seemed anonymity enough. Adding those black hockey masks will ultimately prove uncomfortable and take some of the enjoyment out of their ...

Re: Politics Post - Evan McMullin
You can just look at Evan McMullin and tell he is the White Horse (sorry Rafalca) who will save the Constitution, which became caught on a thread from the flak jacket of a Trump supporter who refused to acknowledge the decision of the voters in the General Election, and instead chose to take it to t...

Putting a smile on it was very clever PR move. If it helps ease the pain and suffering of gay youth and their families in LDS society, then it was a good idea.

Re: Was JS the only person who claimed to use seer stones?
Similar things are mentioned in the Bible. I think in both the Book of Milton and the Book of Bradley, mention is made of a Magic 8-ball, which was a technically more advanced version of the Urim and Thummin Yes/No Breastplate. I understand that many years later this same brass breastplate was melt...

Re: Who can I tell?
This reminds me of a line from a movie, "What will the Gefilte fish say?" The correct response was, "Who cares what the Gefilte fish say. We're going to eat them already." When the time comes, chances are your family will be functional enough to support your decision and any ravening crowd can be de...

We are all in charge of writing our own narrative. Perhaps you could add this to yours: "Jinx decided that dwelling on regrets ultimately took too much energy and only tended to be self-perpetuating. Jinx decided to call a halt to those regrets and chose the realization that life goes on and that wh...

Hallelujah on the Salt Flats
This seemed like a good rendition of the Leonard Cohen song by some fantastic singers known as Pentatonix:

One other song if you like that kind of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9LJDwZOprY

Re: Moderators, hosting, and other admin
It was expressed to me to quit asking to have Zadok reinstated. I think the mods were taking a cue from a soda pop bottle falling out of a giant flying bird that made a humming noise. Glad they did not apply that cue to penguins. I think it would be nice for not all mods to think alike. That way the...

Diet Coke. Chilled, not stirred or shaken.

Or must you be a lass and take it from the glass?

Re: Politics Post - Evan McMullin
President McMullin will make sure the Smithsonian has a Nephite exhibit.
It might be required for President McMullin to have a cage match with Mitt Romney's dancing pony Rafalca in order to claim the White Horse title.

Re: What art captures your experience and emotions?
Literature has had a profound effect on my perception of life and my values. The spoken word has also contributed greatly. My favorite art forms currently are video games and message boards.

Great title. I am imagining an encounter on Pan Am flight 1023 back in 1956 between Apostle and Champion Commie Fighter, Ezra Taft Benson and an up and coming young singer named Elvis Presley. They had been assigned as seat mates in first class and the airline had instructed the stewardesses and pil...

Can only think of three things right now: 1. Greater honesty in Church history. 2. Acceptance of diversity among Church members. Specifically, let Gays be gay, let NOMs be free to think and express their thoughts, and realize that we should never encourage Mormons throughout the world to adopt the p...
