Re: The Refiners Fire of Sic et Non

I think the main point of etiquette may just be to be serious. That's certainly a big apologetic issue. Even more than most religions, I think, Mormonism is either true or ridiculous. It all rests too entirely on Joseph Smith's goofy books, and on the whopping pretense that the modern heirs to his ...

Re: When will missionaries be instructed to stay home?

In other words, when will the Church jump on the panic bandwagon? toon, Like the ignorant comments of Trump himself on the issue, your smart-ass question is the kind of naïve nonsense that makes things worse. There are good reasons why the professionals are taking Covid 19 seriously. They do not ad...

Re: A New Trailer Drops for the "Witnesses" Movie

Far from the dramatic film the Interpreter Foundation claims it to be - from its trailer, The Witness looks more like a mocumentary of the Joseph Smith story and a textbook example of Poe's Law in action.

Re: Visual perspective on the $124 billion

Information provided by Dr. Moore was well thought out, well executed, and provides great perspective. Dr. Moore selected impactful metrics for his comparisons. None of the ratios graphed are anything that the Church leadership should be proud of. Dr. Moores financial indicator selection, coupled wi...

Re: Trump Tells Romney His Religion is a Crutch

Hard to imagine just how much the Evangelicals must love Trump after his unhinged attack on the religion of a fellow Republican.

Best way for Trump to lose big in 2020? Just keep being Trump.

Hope Utah Mormon Republicans write in Romney for President in 2020.

Re: New LDS manual teaches racism. Mistake?

Here’s the bottom line. Either the Church holds to the doctrine that a black skin was, as is taught within The Book of Mormon and this new printed manual, a sign of disfavour in the eyes of God - in which case stop playing spin doctor and own it. Or it doesn’t. If the Church doesn’t hold to that do...

Re: The Sacred Curse

Is mfbukowski and outlier with this PoV? Yes he has some very different ideas about reality which you will have trouble finding a few in the church that think the same way. Thanks for responding to my question. Your perception on the issue is much the same as my wife's, who still attends for a sens...

Re: The Sacred Curse

mfbukowski on the other board made these nice comments (insults?) "Sigh It's just the old historic vs the newer spiritual understanding of our beliefs. It's no different than Book of Mormon geography vs horses in the Book of Mormon, metallurgy, translation vs revelation, the Book of Abraham, a...
