Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?
I read somewhere it was an Area authority who said this. Rasband, I think? So Elder Rasband instructed the stake presidents in the McKinney Temple area to push this lie about the steeple height being a sacred obligation for the Saints? That steeple height claim sounds like something I would come up...

Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?
The stakes near the proposed McKinney Temple in Texas were instructed to mention how the height of the temple steeple was essential to the LDS faith at the city planning and zoning meeting. I suspect the Church was trying to push this lie so the steeple height would be less of a stumbling block. Th...

Re: Physics Society.
As far as teaching goes, technically I can teach whatever I want. I'm required to offer what amounts to one course each semester, but I have Lehrfreiheit —the freedom to decide for myself exactly what it is that I'll teach. What a blessing that is! I've created a couple of courses for my university...

[...] Jorgensen offers up a number of reasons why "none of the accounts that record the miracle [were] written on the day of the manifestation or shortly thereafter." Readers will need to decide whether any of them are convincing. [...] As always, Tom, you remind me why I rush to read any time I've...

Re: Hi! Welcome To Troll ChatBot....
The Phoenix Suns is an NBA team, the current home of a pair of players whose careers I have followed for years: Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. There is a forum dedicated to this team, and to no one's surprise, trolling happens there also. This comment explains: I've been posting on Suns' forums sinc...

All I have the patience for is... "Nope. Didn't happen." (eyes roll vigorously.) Maybe with a corollary...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
You aren't the only person that shares responses from A.I. to assist in conversation. But this is the first time I've personally seen someone get upset about it. Meh. No one is upset. When others have used A.I. here, it's been to laugh at and call attention to the goofiness of the whole thing. But ...

Re: Feel a bit crap.
Dear god. Given that list, and including all the other issues you've mentioned I can't imagine any organization having a problem with you cutting back on your volunteer work. And giving an outdoor party for children where you have to BBQ when you have a dislocated hip sounds like an utter nightmare...
