Re: John Dehlin interview with Roger Hendrix

Has anyone listened to this, and if so, would they recommend it? It sounds like it might be very interesting, but it's pretty long and I don't want to invest the time if it doesn't deliver what it appears to promise. I listnened to it...all through the end. 10.5 hours. I found it beneficial. Essent...

Re: Mormon Stories #904: Dr. Bart Ehrman - New Testament Sch

Will someone let me know if it's good? Sometimes I get a visceral reaction to Dehlin's interview style and I couldn't handle it if he was cringe-y with my favorite New Testament scholar. Dehlin's questions were terrible. He was asking Bart about the Book of Abraham and I was all like "What the...

Re: Did Cook claim to have seen Jesus?

I think we should give credit to Elder Cook for this new embroidery of an old theme--yet another way to suggest he has seen Jesus while leaving plausible deniability of the same. This is so much better than the steady and penetrating look into the camera coupled with the wavering voice claiming, &q...

Re: Did Cook claim to have seen Jesus?

In conclusion, please be assured that senior Church leaders who preside over the divinely appointed purposes of the Church receive divine assistance. This guidance comes from the Spirit and sometimes directly from the Savior. Both kinds of spiritual guidance are given. I am grateful to have receive...

Re: Does Nelson think he’s like the Pope?

A world tour sounds like the kind of honeymoon thing President Nelson and Wendy may have missed out on back in 2006. Wonder if the two of them will book an overnight stay at the Taj Mahal? Bwaaa ahahahaaa! Today, the United Kingdom is home to more than 185,000 Mormons in 333 congregations. It remai...

Re: Is the Church beginning to accept Gays and BiSexuals?

The reason I ask is that I came across this Facebook post that seams to indicate that maybe they are: https://www.Facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2028178217402621&set=a.1385570068330109.1073741828.100006313872614&type=3 Umm no. That is unless they live celibate and don't have any romance of the...

Re: Church Membership Continues it's Nose Dive

Growth has gone from a modern church high of 7.79% annual growth in 1962 to last years anemic growth of 1.48% a growth rate not seen since 1930 which had growth of only .93%...so if not a Nose dive, what descriptor would you suggest? "Membership continues its nosedive" implies a decrease ...

Re: Church reports fewest congregations in the UK since 1991

The trends are clearly not headed in a direction that favors the church... Were we expecting a continual increase? Per the Propaganda arm of the LDS Church: Today, the United Kingdom is home to more than 185,000 Mormons in 333 congregations. It remains a strength , a place where some senior church ...
