The Federal Appeals Court rejected Trump's claim of absolute immunity. “We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election resul...

Trump won't live forever, but Christian Nationalism wants to get in bed with him, and the children of that union make me shudder. :( https://img.freepik.com/premium-photo/goblin-hyper-realistic-hyper-detailed-fantasy-masterpiece-full-body-exploration-from-head_983420-10089.jpg "Tricksie Biden stole...

I was barely a teen in 77, but I'll never forget the name Sonia Johnson and how much the church demonized her for standing up for ERA. One benefit from being so damn old is that I attended that meeting in the Salt Palace where the Elders held up signs telling the Relief Society sisters how to vote ...

I am uncertain whether they would seek to use the Relief Society en masse to vote against women's rights today, however, the Church has let it be known that women should not sit on the stand unless they are giving a talk or a prayer. Church leaders would recoil from the suggestion of equal rights fo...

See, there's one way that God could give you a reason to make those commitments. How about a ceremony or sacrament that parts the veil briefly so you actually can remember? Are you talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster holding a brief demonstration at the IKEA food court? Gotta love those Swed...

Reminds me of the Mehrabian Study in the 70s, Alas. When communicating emotionality, it's what... 52% body language, 47% tone, and 7% the actual words? I'm sure I have the percentages off slightly, but that's the gist. Clarifying is crucial. Like are they mentally performing the perambulations from...

Sometimes these kinds of things remind me of Stanley Milgram's famous obedience study at Harvard... If I were a bishop, would I defy the church legal counsel not to report, risk being sued by the perpetrator, and make a call that possibly saves a child? What would Jesus do? This would be a fun upda...

Trump has been ordered to pay $83 million for the defamation of E. Jean Carroll.

One aspect of Mormonism is the interface between the real and the imagined; between the story and history. The Book of Abraham is a good example. Story : Egypt was a country discovered by Egyptus the daughter of Ham. Actual : The Egyptians called their land Kemet. The word Egypt came from the Greeks...

Outside the Happy Valley Conference Center seems like a good place to make wise decisions.

Stassi D. Cramm, 61, will be the first woman to hold the office of Prophet/President of the Community of Christ Church if her call is approved by the 2025 World Conference. Until then, her title is prophet-president designate. Here is a podcast on Mormon Discussions about this topic: https://www.you...

Which one would represent a golden convert opportunity?

My guess is that the orangutan is the most likely, while the howler monkey would always be discussing politics in the Elders Quorum.

Yeah! They're like that treasure chest that always slips away just before you see it.

Probably from the powers retained by the White Salamander.

Or do we let this place go the way of all the others before it and let it rest? Things to think about but for now we’ve committed to another year. I want this board to continue as much as I want the Church to continue. The Church produces some wonderfully kind people. Many of my best neighbors have...

Even if public schools guaranteed wall space for every faith tradition's tenets, that is not what American public schools should be about. We are not supposed to promote a public religion. The fascist movement in America is presenting itself as Christian Nationalism. It would be better if that Logan...

Or in other words: More to come. Probably. Maybe. Or maybe not.

Let your thoughts roam free.

Mormonism has many sides. Two of those sides are:

1. A hopeful framework to worship God.

2. A multinational corporation with a church attached for tax purposes.
