In Facsimile 2, we all know that Fig. 7 represents God sitting upon his throne, which depicts God with an erect penis. Now, a non-Mormon scholar is arguing that "YHWH’s penis plays a predominant role throughout the Old Testament". https://www.joeledmundanderson.com/francesca-stavrakopoulous-god-an-...

In your opinion, is it ever justified? If so, who? Ever justified? The act of critiquing historical figures is ALWAYS justified. I remember the first time I learned about the *Battle of Fort Utah. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_at_Fort_Utah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Creek_massa...

Your words, not mine. Every one has good and evil inside them, and everyone has done good and bad. I believe DD’s point on Pg. #2 was that Holland was getting a nice perk while demanding the flock pay up, all the while knowing he’s benefiting from a double standard. You just prefer to make things o...

You should stick with that, and insist on a definition of absolute truth that doesn't trivially circle back to "God". When most people say "absolute truth" they have no idea what they are talking about. Very good point. When Schmo said he believes in objective truth I find myself translating that i...

Ballard, had he not been related to ‘Mormon royalty’ would been broke and anonymous. His nepotistic relationship with church royalty made him a millionaire.

Your words stand on their own merit. Which apostle was involved with the Memorial Estates Security Corporation again? God, there so many scandals where LDS funds are being misused that I’m having a hard time sorting them all. Anyway, circling back, the 2nd Anointing is a huge grift for apostles and...

Are you seriously suggesting that church leaders haven’t profited directly from the church and off the backs of its membership? Over thirty years of documenting lds leadership malfeasances, nepotism, quid pro quo contracts, financial abuses, and you have the balls to sit there and go to bat for the...

Which apostle was it again that got bailed out by the church due to his own crappy business practices? Something about cars and music halls and whatnot? Oooooooo! What a gotcha!!! So one of the apostles is the exception that proves the rule, eh? Are you seriously suggesting that church leaders have...

Treating them as though they were grifters or exploiters is silly.
