Re: Trump and Joseph Smith as King
If Trump loses in November to Biden, perhaps Trump can pivot and turn the MAGA movement into a new American religion.

Re: Hello, Possums...My Final Exit from MD&D
To be fair, you started your md&d OP like this: Here are just a few quotes that support the once traditional Plan of Salvation that Butler is now walking away from. seemingly implying that the following section in a different font would be just quotes, which did have individual sources. However, th...

Re: The Insane Stupidly of Mormonism
Hmmmm. A founder who was convicted of fraudulent treasure seeking with a seer stone, to finding Golden Plates which he then translated with the same seer stone, to then fraudulently ruining a bank and the financial lives of thousands, to then lying about his polygamy and then destroying a printing ...

Re: It's Deja Vu all over again
But rules shouldn't apply to Mormons, right? That's the Brethren's demonstrated view of the Free Exercise clause.

Re: I am amazed at the change.
The last pronouncement I recall from one of the Big 15 ("prophets, seers and revelators") was April 1, 1985, when Bruce R. McConkie explained it thusly at GenConf: We do not know, we cannot tell, no mortal mind can conceive the full import of what Christ did in Gethsemane. We know he sweat great gou...

Re: The Insane Stupidly of Christianity
When you live in a smelly room for long enough, you eventually become accustomed to the aroma to the point where it no longer smells at all. They call it “nose blindness.” If you grew up in such a room, you may even develop a nostalgia and fondness for the smell when it’s absent. I view Christianit...

Re: I am amazed at the change.
I have observed, from the sidelines, a change in the counseling by the bishop. I hear that it is at least the go-to suggestion by LDS family and fellow members. I also understand that the LDS church conducts its own, alternative AA/OA addiction program. From what I have been able to gather, the LDS ...

Re: FAIR Board Member and Mopologist, Juliann Reynolds Is Openly Criticizing The Church's Treatment Of LGTBQ Members
Times sure are changing. In a thread about David Archuleta leaving the Church, Juliann Reynolds is now criticizing the Church's treatment of LGTBQ members. I've said some rather harsh things about Juliann in the past, but I really applaud her courage for publicly taking this stance. I'm sure the ot...

Fourth, Scott Grow--great, great guy.
So, for me, Big 15, 0 out of 2; 70s, 2 for 2, good guys.

Re: Have you ever met a Mormon General Authority…
Three come to mind. One was that I took Trust Law from Dallin Oaks at BYU law school. Much better person then than what I've seen of him as an "Apostle." The other was Vaughn J. Featherstone. Just an average Joe. Obviously was not going to get elevated to the Big 15. Third was M. Russell Ballard, wh...
