Re: Still waiting on God

The determining factor isn't the adherence to the "proper" form of worship as much as it is the intent and quality of the heart. If a person loves God, treats his neighbor as he would be treated and has faith in Christ's atonement, I don't think God is going to fuss about the details. This is why I...

Re: Beware of Murder Among the Mormons!

You mean Corsair! He’s the ultimate indifferent Mormon we all shall become. :lol: I appreciate the title, but I was not aware that I might be in danger of being a role model. Has anyone been successful at making these types of compromises before and if so how did you do it? While I have had some su...

How did his wife, Egyptus, feel about their arrangement? Maybe it was not as confusing as having a Greek name in a world where everyone spoke Adamic.

Be warned that this excuse will not save you if you quote from the Gospel Topic Essays or use phrases like "several months before her 15th birthday".

Re: Post COVID Church scramble

Overall I think that attendance will allow lots of people to simply not attend and this will be reflected in church attendance all over the world. It will slowly approach pre-COVID levels but it will take a non-pandemic emergency to reach or surpass 2019 attendance. My ward just announced that the s...

Re: What about Neanderthals and Ancients?

The folks who have already been endowed will of course be the ones performing those ordinances. The big work is actually ahead of us rather than what Mormons are performing presently. I obviously am skeptical of the need for vicarious temple ordinances, but it does lead to an amusing conclusion. Te...

Re: What has changed since 1850.

We know from Elder D. Todd Christofferson that doctrine is what all apostles are saying. Any discussion of plural marriage can be cast aside as non-doctrinal now that only Oaks and Nelson have the slightest interest in polygamy. No other apostle will be discussing it, after all. Nelson and Oaks shou...

Re: Netflix doco - Murder amoung the Mormons

I generally think that most Mormons will consider this movie to be spiritual pornography.

Just like Jesus changed water into wine, I mean grape juice, we know that Abraham would have changed any alcohol served to him back into water. It's like Chiasmus for the Word of Wisdom!

Re: Utah of the Past!

Those are fun pictures. I had some elderly friends born in the early 30s who remember that time.

They were very happy when the war ended and the streets were again lit up...
