Re: The Kirtland Temple: Visions and Vomiting

Joseph Smith would be bored to tears in his own church in modern times. There's no way he would be a member in good standing, he would call DCP a nerd and steal his wife.

Re: Prophets can't explain the Book of Mormon, they ask the experts to, scholars!

He says the prophets are "declarers" not "explainers." But that is a modern change in order to add plausible deniability. They were "explainers" plenty of times before the last decade or so. They just realize now that their explanations are easily criticized with the Internet and not just taken at f...

Re: Tim Ballard, A True Mormon Hero

The thread title needs to be changed to "A true Catholic hero" https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/1bq8ct9/2_is_a_hoot_tim_ballard_announced_he_and_his/ Just goes to show, for many Mormons it's not about the religion or the theology - it's about the externalities. Throw away the social aspect...

Re: A Darkness Settles Over "6 Days in August"

No, Daniel has money to make and can’t just let anyone watch it for free. It’s not like this is a movie about Jesus . Conversely, he has also said it’s NOT about the money, the intention was always for as many people to see it as possible. Which is odd, as making it freely available via You Tube wo...

Re: Open Message to the Open Stories Foundation Board of Directors

...This is the first time I am seeing this. I'm not sure that there is anything that can be done to help and I wonder if people telling her to stop is actually fuelling this spiral further. No, that's not what is fueling her spiral. It is something far more internal. The saddest part is that therap...

Re: Latter-day Saints have the highest rate of weekly church attendance

It’s almost true by definition, because Mormonism is a high demand religion.

You can’t easily identify as LDS and not attend. You can’t really be a member in good standing without attending.

Re: Gemli explains...

I’ve been reading DP’s replies to Gemli. There’s no substance. Zero. It’s entirely ad-hom attacks and lazy arrogant dismissals.

Again, just sad to see a PhD and former BYU professor act so childishly.

Re: A Darkness Settles Over "6 Days in August"

STW: "Daniel do you have any updates on Six Days? Are you still hopeful for a theatrical release this summer?" We've done roughly 90% of the filming. Maybe more. But a big and complicated scene -- the opening scene, in fact -- remains to be done. We have it set up for late April. That will happen, ...
