Re: Recipes for Spam

Speaking of recipes for SPAM, Monty Python has a few: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE

Did learn on another message board some years ago that Spam is a Philippines favorite.

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. Movies and TV programs to a lesser extent. All of these art forms are improved by adding in overlays of humor...

Re: An encounter on an airline

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...

Re: What improvements would you want for church?

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...

I'd like to get moderators in place by early next week, insert forum rules, and maybe add some requested functions such as tap a talk, a cancel button, a resource page (think Reddit sidebar), and maybe some other ideas.

Re: Politics Post - Evan McMullin

The latest Utah Presidential poll: Trump - 30% McMullin - 29% Clinton - 24% My own prediction is that when the majority of Utah voters enter the polling booth, they will go into a religious trance and press the straight Republican button. Once they leave the polling place, they will snap out of the ...

Re: Potential Relay Station for Kolob

Twisting the solar-system as it does has twisted something in our brains causing us to have a crisis of faith and to forget the overwhelming spiritual witnesses we have received. A very astute observation. Perhaps it is like being moon-struck, but with much greater gravitational force. One thing is...

If you are unable to find their famous Institute, perhaps you can check and see whether they have a famous pancake house.

Re: An image to show how things are here.

Holding the iron rod at an elevation of an extra 20 feet sounds wise. It is not a case of deserting the tulips as much as preserving future tithe payers.

Potential Relay Station for Kolob

This really isn't about Mormonism. It is about a new idea presented by researchers at the California Institute of Technology to the annual meeting of planetary scientists of the American Astronomical Society. They presented new research on the possibility of a gigantic, unseen planet beyond Neptune ...

Re: Different First Visions Accounts Shouldn't Challenge Your Faith - Whatever

Does it make a difference whether you are telling your buddy about the 8/22/135 pound fish/alligator/Cthulhu you caught last weekend on your fishing/hunting/safari trip...? Meridian Magazine would suggest that it does not matter since everything caught is rather fishy. I respect their point of the ...

The leaked videos

Did anyone see those leaked Church videos that were in the news in the last two weeks? If so, did it strike anyone as odd that the best and the brightest (and perhaps the most obsequious when it came to politicians) were making the presentations rather than asking the questions? Why didn't the Breth...

Sometimes it is hard to hear above the crunching of popcorn and drinking Diet Coke. Sound like you heard both what was said and what it meant.
