In short, to equate human leaders with God is a dangerous, fascistic thing to promote. There is that risk. But then on the other hand we have Amos 3:7. But what about the centuries and centuries of the so-called Great Apostasy when God could do nothing because he had no prophets to reveal anything ...

Yes, a mod did it. Of that you can be sure. Yeah, well, I don't like it. I think this needs to be changed. It isn't cool to single out posters in such a way. I'm sure it will get corrected right away as soon as a mod hears about it. I agree. It was a bit of a cheap shot but maybe it's some kind of ...

He got it from porking girls behind the barn...

Poor Emma.

I’m not now nor ever have been a fraud. An example of fraud is when the nose of Anubis was hacked out of the lead plate and the head reshaped in order to convert a god into a slave. That's fraud, wouldn't you say? I sure would. And I would hope that honest Mormons would as well. But I question: Is ...

Both you Shulem and Kerry stayed with the church quite a while and defended it with passion. Holding on to the positive in the church?
