Re: Free Books

I am doing some fall cleaning and went through my 30 plus years of collecting LDS books, mostly from the DI. I have four box's a hundred plus books, older commentaries that are hard to find, History of the church, BY discourses, JFS, BRM, Clark, and the gang. I don't want to take them to the DI in ...

Making Friends LDS style

If the temple gets built, the Cody folks could always do what the folks of Highland Ca. did. Here is the story. My father was a stake athletic director for years, and in the late 70's the Highland stake center had a huge lot behind the stake center. My father drew up plans, got permits and actually ...

Re: A New Director is Appointed at the Maxwell Institute

From what I have read about Haws in a short search, it seems he is all about perception and Image. My view is that there is really nothing out there that the apologetic can salvage from the old narratives, they lost. However, the church has created, rather successfully, a wall or curtain of plausibl...

Re: Nemo takes a deep dive into the temple construction gravy train

I know the some subcontractors definitely get pressured with taking low margins, but it's for the church and the promise of more work that is steady. I was talking with someone about how the Draper temple got shut down not too long into use cause the windows were leaking. They had left the church, ...

It would be foolish in my opinion to do so by the church, if they want to retain the quality of their projects and reduce CM and QC ov...

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

I tend to view these stories in the view of "How likely is this to change anything about the LDS church". The 60 Minutes piece registered a "not at all" for me. People outside the church would not view their spokesman in a positive light. People inside the church see him as just like all the other ...
