Re: RFM and Washington State Bar Complaints

...especially since he was so instrumental in helping John with the retaliations I used this board to keep at bay for so long... Wow, I am curious as to how you "used this board" ? As for throwing your complaint on the stack, you have a tendency to throw yourself into things without thinking. Remem...

Re: The Grace in My Mother's Love

But not in reality. The LDS church does NOT teach that women, in and of themselves, are of worth. As harsh as this may seem, it is only when mothers LEAVE the LDS church, and THEN tell their daughters that they are of worth, that this message will have meaning. I consider it my single most importan...

Re: SEN indulges in gossip and innuendo

Yes. DCP managed to change the entire tone of the story by leaving out two-thirds of what Walter's heard, especially this: "These are also my Saints." He then goes on to entirely disrespect that "also" in every part of his blog entry and comments. With friends like that, what LDS church needs enemi...

I think Gemli would not mix the imaginings of religion with the imaginings of science.
Lol. That's a sure thing if ever there was one.

Re: Gemli explains...

It's true that nonexistent things are difficult to confirm, and at some point it only makes sense to decide that something is so hard to confirm that even if it does exist, it is just too hard to see and life is too short to worry about it. At the same time I can't help thinking of all the generati...

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

I disagree. The problem lies with Mormons doing vicarious rituals on behalf of people who haven’t requested it. It is Mormons creating the issue and the burden of understanding sits entirely with them. Simply stop doing the rituals for people who haven’t requested it. End of problem. I agree. Being...

Re: SEN indulges in gossip and innuendo

1993 sacrament meeting M. Russell Ballard asked for—and received—permission to use the Kirtland Temple for a 1993 missionary training and sacrament meeting. It was a spiritual experience for everyone involved, including Al Walters, a Community of Christ representative who was initially opposed to t...

Re: SEN indulges in gossip and innuendo

The lds church reports a more humane, less self-aggrandizing version: Elder Pinegar said a particularly touching moment came when Elder Ballard, in front of the congregation, embraced Lachlan MacKay, a direct descendant of Joseph Smith and director of the Kirtland Temple for the RLDS Church who atte...
