So.....let me get this straight.....

You passionately think that the topic of discussion is nonsense and stupid.

But...in the next breath...you say that you LIKE the discussion.

How can you LIKE a discussion which you find stupid?

Frankly, Marg.....that is the most stupid comment you have made to date. :lol:

Jersey Girl ... I made a very short but I believe powerful statment of Mormon doctrine in regards to your question ... any thoughts out there on this concept?


Not at the moment, Rock, no. I haven't had time to review this entire thread. I just picked up on it at the onset of the current ad hom slinging. I'll try to get back to it.

I know and thanks, Rock. I'm undecided as to whether I want to hurl insults or go back on topic.

Sorry, Jersey Girl :redface:

RockSlider, this is a great comment to pull things back on track.

You are referring to Brigham Young's Adam/God theory, aren't you RockSlider?

In October 1976 general conference, Spencer W. Kimball declared the Church's official position on Adam-God:

We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are not according to the Scriptures and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine.

Don't be sorry, Liz. I was mulling over joining in. I just can't decide what side I want to be on.

I went into the user CP and tried to add her to the foe list. It showed her listed. I think I did it. I had to do it a couple of times to make it stick. I think it worked. I'm really excited because I've never done this before. Thanks for you input, Jersey Girl. Marg is history with me! She is a mean women! I don't have time for that crap. I feel sorry for the man she lives with. Oh God! I'll bet she gives lousy blow jo. . . .

Well yes and no ... I had no problem with the Adam God Thing .... but I believe the endownment, even as it exists today, is prettry clear. "You are to consider yourself to be adam and eve", it is you, as adam/eve that pray at the alter etc, it is you that goes to the veil etc. Are you suggesting you do not believe the endowment is about your future event? Even the earily portions dealing with the creation? (just doing that which we have seen done on other planets)

What I said and quoted a portion of was the discussion between Gaz & Paul in which they argued about the afterlife as if they knew facts. Your sig line is along the same lines.

But...in the next breath...you say that you LIKE the discussion.


I didn't say I liked or disliked that wasn't the point, the point is the stupidity of arguing about an afterlife as as if one knows and in your case asking a stupid question which is completely illogical, yet presenting it as if it was supposed to be logical. Like I said your question is akin to asking what aliens on the other side of the moon logically like to play, tennis or golf? Your question which is in my sig line, has nothing logical about it.

How can you LIKE a discussion which you find stupid?


You brought up "like"..in otherwords I believe you said if I didn't "like" the conversation to stay out of it. To comment in a discussion does not require one likes or dislikes it.

Frankly, Marg.....that is the most stupid comment you have made to date. :lol:


If you think so.
