Re: QAnon - consider yourself influenced

I'm surprised you found someone who is still so consumed by QAnon. I thought that BS had come and gone like some "bird flu" or coronavirus from the past. Yikes it incubates among us.

Re: Washington Post: Mormon Church has misled members on fin

Defrauding charities? Evading taxes? Amassing huge amounts of wealth for selfish purposes? Priestcraft is called "good business" in 2020 Trumptown USA. The garden is in full bloom.

Re: Yet another MTC is closed...Guatemala

OMG, 18 foot tall missionaries. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: LDS Scholar says J S "Skillfully wove" Bible texts into

Skillfully woven A magical phrase that allows one to admit that the Book of Mormon is essentially plagarized, while derailing discussion down the rabbit hole of how the Book of Mormon was produced, i.e. nobody saw him anywhere near a Bible during those fateful days of "translation". How di...

Re: Problems caused by Policy change was Dehlin's fault

If their works had stayed in the dark where they belonged, no one would've been hurt. It's the whistleblower's fault. Well, it's the same as the original pattern laid down by Joseph Smith of old. Whistleblowers were constantly challenging him by tattling about money digging, and fake banking, and p...

Re: Argentina MTC to close.

We have actually learned that it is often less expensive to bring a missionary to Provo than to maintain an MTC in their home country Why are they needing to learn how to waste the sacred funds of the church doing inefficient things? The Lord could have just told the prophet at the get-go: "Be...
