Yes, how could I forget that one. According to Joseph, the universe is filled with infants on thrones.

Well, maybe it was baby/infant Elohim that was god of the Old Testament.

That would explain all of the Old Testament temper tantrums and childish jealousies God seemed to exhibit.

Mormon leaders are notorious for mocking and constructing caricatures of exmormons and non- believers directly from the pulpit.....here is a brief list.
  1. Lazy learners and lax disciples will always struggle to muster even a particle of faith.
  2. Stop increasing your doubts by rehearsing them with other doubters.
  3. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
  4. Some suppose that they were pre-set and cannot overcome what they feel are inborn tendencies toward the impure and unnatural. Not so! Why would our Heavenly Father do that to anyone?
  5. Thus, if we unwisely choose to live Telestial laws now, we are choosing to be resurrected with a Telestial body. We are choosing not to live with our families forever. So, my dear brothers and sisters, how and where and with whom do you want to live forever?
  6. There will be times when family members and close friends will face challenges. The voices of the world, and maybe their own desires, might cause them to question truth.”
  7. “It is said that “to one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”
  8. Many of our members do not fully understand this plan of salvation,
  9. We know that some of you may have received offense, unkindness, or other conduct that is not Christlike.
  10. Even those who reject Him. Even those who, like a headstrong, unruly child, become angry with God and His Church, pack their bags, and storm out the door proclaiming that they’re running away and never coming back

That's the JWs.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

And there are A LOT. *snip*
For me, and there’s no contest whatsoever, MG is the most embarrassing thing about Mormonism. Hands down.

Agreed. :lol: I don’t know how I forgot that one.

Doc! Great seeing you here again. How was the Camino?
