Re: New Essay "Same Sex Attraction"

I checked with a missionary at Mormon.org, and he said it is okay for a gay man to marry a woman and have the woman role play gay sex by dressing like a man and using a strap on. So that's one option available for gay Mormons. I want to hear about the local ward bishop counseling a mixed orientatio...

Re: Fiddling while Rome burns...

Re: Prophets in New Mormonism

I think one might grant that it is good to have Greg Princes in the LDS Church to soften the blow for others. Also, I think it is fair to say that the Greg Prince Theology is a lot more healthy, realistic, and historically honest than the LDS version. So long as he is allowed to remain a member in ...

Re: Could Joseph Smith have authored the B of M?

Infants on Thrones had a brilliant interview with John Hamer about Book of Mormon authorship . This was, I think, John Hamer's first appearance on Infants on Thrones. John effectively argues that Joseph Smith is very easily plausible as the sole author of the Book of Mormon. All the elements of the...

Re: New "Rock In Hat" LDS artwork

So, remind me again why he needed some artifact like the (alleged) gold plates if Joseph could just pull this text out of his hat? If the Book of Moses in the PoGP needed no scrolls or plates, why do we need the historicity and existence of plates? In the recent Greg Prince interview , Dr. Prince re...

Re: Why do members leave the Church?

One commenter wonders aloud why this kind of honesty isn't displayed during General Conference... This will sound cynical, but encouraging saints to have sympathy with unfaithful people might lead to sympathy to their unfaithful ideas. LDS culture is still far too insular at the local level. This w...

Nelson removed the opportunity for that when he said... "Each of us during that sacred moment felt a spiritual confirmation," Nelson, next in line for the Mormon presidency, told the faith's young adults in the first official explanation of the hotly debated policy's origins. "It was...

Re: Calling Thayne, Can I Help With NOM?

Red Ryder and I did have lunch today. I would be willing to provide basic administration for a new site. I don't know how desirable a new site would be and I am reasonably persuaded for using the Celestial Forum for NOM support. I'm not sure that I am moderator material, however. In any case I don't...

Re: Never say never: Great Grandma sealed to two men in tem

This is an interesting story because it still affects Mormons today. I have some friends in my stake who are dealing with this right now. The wife was a young widow who was pregnant with a child when her first husband died in a car accident. She subsequently discovered this underground association o...
