Re: Gemli explains...

It is explicitly written in Moroni's promise. so I was mistaken. I thought I was to pray to get closer to realizing the truth. I did not realize I was supposed to be exercising my sincere desire to believe. That is tricky as my desire to believe wavered sometimes due to a variety of reasons. Perhap...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

$175 is just the bond, but he still has to pay the full $454 million right? And why does he need 10 whole days to pay when he's already been claiming he has more than triple that already in cash? Yes, if the judgment is upheld on appeal, he has to pay the entire judgment amount, plus post-judgment ...

Re: True Crime: Holy cats this youtuber is LDS related

There was a document dump a couple days ago, representing the response to FOIA requests that had been on hold until after sentencing. Ruby Frankie kept a set of journals that she called the Pen Papers, in which she recorded her visions and Hildebrandt’s visions. They believed that God would direct t...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I really like the milestone system for XP. Or skip the XP and use milestones as leveling points. I think it makes for better storytelling. Maybe it's just age or the crowd I play with, but the RPers I play with are story driven rather than character-leveling driven. Several years ago, I played with...

Re: I Can't Eye-Roll Hard Enough Over DCP's Latest

Götterdämmerung, a snifter of orange soda, and a hearty pastrami sandwich Am I right that the soda and sandwich are to be consumed while listening to Wagner, or is Götterdämmerung a Mormon delicacy like funeral potatoes and lime jello? (I may just be confused by the fact that the possibly ironical ...

Oh, and the comments are back up! 11,700 and counting.

This is amazing to see the women of the church rise up in a united voice calling out the gaslighting.

Re: Mothers in Zion - why they're leaving

Instagram rolled out changes this morning, and reports of problems (including with comments) abound. I went to the site and could find comments from one and two days ago, before the alleged deletions began. The interface for viewing comments (at least in my browser) is terrible. ETA: My browser does...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

I thought I remember that some of the documents Trump had were nuclear related which are classified as a matter of law. E.g. no president can declassify statutorily classified information without following a process which Trump did not. So even if we allow wide latitude for he can just think things...
