Re: BYP Hosts Bill Reel LIVE - Reason & Mormon Apologetics, When is it reasonable to believe?

My shelf broke in 2013 when I first learned that Joseph Smith had 33 wives... I've never been a proponent or accepting of polygamy as it is simply a way for men to justify lustful desires and nothing more. Once I became aware that Smith was basically a serial adulterer, that was it, he wasn't a prop...

Re: A Recovered Resource The Use of Adam Clarke’s Bible Commentary in Joseph Smith’s Bible Translation

The arguments here for Joe's 'inspired translations' are like trying to re-arrange the chairs on the titanic as it's sinking. Smith was arguably one of the greatest con men this nation has ever seen, right up there L. Ron Hubbard and his scietology nonsense. :oops: :lol:

Re: The rock in the hat

We're debating about wherther or not a rock in a hat is just as legit as having gold plates in creating the B of M when we're talking about a highly iniquitous con-man with 42+ instances of criminal misconduct in a period of 24 years who created an illegal bank and currency and caused most of his re...

Re: Church 2022 growth rates by country

IMHO, at some point, the 'church' is going to be forced to convert to a charity or to a full-fledge real estate corporation as the truth about who the real Joseph Smith was and the fraudulent foundations upon which he founded the religion becomes more evident and mainstream. I think it's obvious whi...

Re: The rock in the hat

I just about died on the floor laughing watching Nellie pantomime putting his head into a hat, clearly he was uncomfortable and how in the world are you not disingenuous and looking to deceive by saying 'we have suggesitons how it was done'??? :lol: You can't make up this stuff (well, actually, Smit...

Re: Money is not the most important thing in the world, love is. Fortunately, I love money. ~ Russell M. Nelson

The level of spiritual and financial deception currently ongoing with this corrupt real estate corporation masquerading as a religion is staggering and unlike anything ever witnessed before in human history. If Joe Smith were alive today, he wouldn't be prouder. :lol: :x

Re: Above the law, above the truth

Just as egregious is the fact that the 'church' continues to send out missionaries into the world to perpetuate the notion that Joseph Smith created the B of M by translating gold plates with a scribe who jotted it all down when they admitted in their essay on B of M 'translation' back in 2014 that ...

Re: The Church (big C) shows how financial transparency is done

I'd be willing to bet money that if a full investigation was conducted into the City Creek project that they would find money laundering, embezzelment, grand theft, theft by deception and all sorts of shenanigans. And that's just one area, imagine what they would uncover if they did a deep dive into...

Re: This Sunday: IRS whistleblower to break his silence on LDS Church finances, will speak on ‘60 Minutes’

If only 60 Minutes was aware of this before their story on the $124 billion secret slush fund (would have been hilarious watching them drop this little tidbit on Waddell after giving his reason for hoarding that much money)... :lol: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/jan/30/from-book-to-boom-ho...

Re: Translation of the Book of Mormon: book by James Lucas and Jonathan Neville argues against church admission of seer

Lately, the 'brethren' have been telling members who have doubts to just have faith and believe, you know, like if you believe Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are all real, it will be so! :lol:
