Re: Vaticinium ex eventu

The Disciples at that time never fulfilled the role of Board of Directors since they were involved with religion rather than religion acting as a front for a multi-billion dollar business. Well.... they were in the industry of fishing for men... they probably learning you can tune a guitar, but you...

Re: I am amazed at the change.

Mr Skinner article is interesting: He cites hematidrosis which is a term used by the medical profession. So that means ordinary humans experience this. He also cites hypovolemia which humans also experience. The LDS church wants you to know only one person, Jesus Christ whose father was a God and hi...

Re: I am amazed at the change.

Thanks to all, Huckleberry, Pirate, and Jersey Girl. I think Jesus was afraid, very afraid, of being executed via crucifixion. That's why he was praying. No one wants to die that way but that's the way it was done to certain people in that time. I think the drops of blood were similes. The authors u...

Re: I am amazed at the change.

I find myself responding to Yellowstone’s post in a way that does not fit the first thread so I will try a separate thread. I may have tried to ask this question before but perhaps failed to clarify what I was wondering about. My memory of church in the 1960s includes no memory of contacting a bish...

Re: Off Topic Split from 33 Years With New Questions

What two people of the early LDS church spoke, sent notes or letters in Nauvoo that created a plan to murder Joseph Smith? I love history and I've been on this earth 62 years and never seen or heard of such a thing.

Re: The Insane Stupidly of Christianity

To be told over and over since childhood that you are a broken person and in need of divine intervention is wrong. If it leads to depression, anxiety, withdrawal from these you enjoy it's abuse. Being told someone within the LDS church such as a Bishop can give better counsel than the friends you gr...

Re: Selling Infinity

Sometimes I don’t understand the LDS church selling the infinite. One can be in touch with the now through breathing, mindfulness and other concepts. You just conflated two unrelated things. The LDS church isn't selling "the now," so the church doesn't care that one can be in touch with "the now." ...

Selling Infinity

I sometimes think about the LDS blueprint plan: families are forever, it is sealed, a done deal. Follow the prophet, attend the temple, pay your tithings et. al. Sometimes I wonder about Buddhism which stresses nonattachment and impermanency. People do become attached to other humans and other warm-...

Re: TSCC?

Apologists have backed off the expression "so-called" taking the humor out of TSCC. I saw a photo of plate or something inscribed on the Mountain Meadows Mountain memorial that the LDS church put at a site and was surprised to read it happened during the "so-called" Utah War. The word/words "so-cal...
