Re: But what if Mormonism were true?

People who might rock that boat are better getting off or being tossed off the boat so no one else gets tipped out. Let me defend myself. I said the Church was better off without the anti-vaxxers who actively opposed the Church. There's a big difference between people actively opposing the Church a...

Re: But what if Mormonism were true?

If he opts for the gospel perspective, he's in need of repentance. You have a good point, Gadianton. I shall repent. Despite the bizarre nature of my Seattle friend's ideas, I do feel bad for him and wish he would return to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I shall try to have the sa...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

Wouldn’t being a heart surgeon give Russell M. Nelson some insight into immunology? It appears for the majority of posters on LDSFF that they’ve developed their own socio-political religion that trumps the Mormon one. You would think so. However, the man disbelieves in evolution. McJathan, I'm surp...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

I suppose I'd hope for somethign more from something that is divinely inspired. Stem, people have all sorts of ideas about what a faith organization would do if it was divinely inspired. Are they right? Who knows? They are probably not all right. I think the best way to find out if an organization ...

Re: Wondering about Atheist Programs for Children

... If I ever leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (ha ha), I will have plenty of ideas for activities to keep my grandson occupied! :roll: so it was just idle curiosity? Pretty much. Hopefully it can be helpful to you as you continue to seek good activities for your grandson. Appa...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

Back in the old days (1970s, 80s, 90s) it was common in some places to deflect criticism of the church by saying that the church is perfect, but the members (who were clearly to blame for anything blameworthy) were not. So, yes, I think you're quite right there, stem :lol: Yep. Lol. The Church whic...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

I wouldn't go that far! Ok. What makes you good for Mormonism, or your grandma/neighbor/cousin/child, but your old friend or these anti-vaxxer types not good for the religion? You mean they are bad for Mormonism because they make the religion look bad or because they hurt the religion? There are ve...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

At least to my perception this freedom forum is very marginal LDS, almost a breakaway sect. I find myself thinking it does not say very much about how popular Mr. Nelson is with mainstream LDS. I imagine views there to be very different. I agree with that Huckelberry. Mainstream Latter-day Saints a...

Re: Russell Nelson Is Not Popular Among Many Members

I have a friend up in Seattle who left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints back in the 1980s. My friend has a lot of bizarre ideas, and in many ways his life has gone to pot since he left the Church. I really think the Church is better off without him. Similarly, if people feel so stron...

Re: Wondering about Atheist Programs for Children

That seems to wrap up the topic at hand, glad you received so much good information. It does indeed seem to wrap it up, and I appreciate all the information posters gave me. If I ever leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (ha ha), I will have plenty of ideas for activities to keep m...
