Having temple staff move the ill or injured patron out of the ordinance room, having them remove the patron's temple garb, etc., so that in a potentially life-and-death emergency (stroke, heart attack, whatever) non-Mormon EMS personnel - WHO ARE THERE TO SAVE LIVES - won't defile the temple by see...

I can't think of any temples that I have personally seen that aren't in affluent neighborhoods, or that aren't prominently situated on a hill or in a bustling downtown setting. I don't know how temples sites are selected outside the U.S., but it's a bit of a spiritual turn-off to be driving among th...

Weird Alma writes some good parodies on Mormonism and Mopologetics. And, assuming his does his own instrumentations, he's a solid musician, to boot. Here's one his songs, a parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, that made me laugh inappropriately: https://weirdalma.bandcamp.com/album/straight-outta...

The full leadership of the Mormon church being put on explicit notice by 1922 by B.H. Roberts and others that both the Book of Mormon and Book of Abraham contained significant scientific problems, and then hiding this information from members for another almost 100 years, and seeking to suppress th...

An expanding Mormon church indicates its truthfulness. A contracting Mormon church also indicates its truthfulness. It's strange, but pop-theology in Mormonism is able to look at the realities surrounding the church and interpret them as signs of the church's truthfulness. Apart from what the smug "...

I'm sorry to hear about "Six Days in August" having early production issues.

"Witnesses" was a fine piece of cinema. I admit my surprise that anybody who saw it wouldn't be looking forward to the next film executive-produced by Dan.
