Perhaps many of you have wondered what crazy story lies at the far, far end of the LDS rabbit hole. It must be some story that stretches both reality and credulity and I am sorely unhappy to bring that story to you fine people this day. Twitter Discusses Alleged 'Armpit Crabs' Epidemic At Bringham ...

It makes me wonder if there will be any inertia in existing members that largely ignore the details of what Russell and company say about Conditional Love. Russell had long, detailed talks on the gathering of Israel and the members large interpret the message as "missionary work equals good". There ...

I am no prophet, but I foresee plural marriage flaring back into existence with a segment of this Restoration Conference. The other major segment of this Restoration Conference will be pretty sure that Joseph Smith was not responsible for the plural marriage problems. Oddly enough, these two ...

In the first century of Christianity the followers of Jesus considered themselves to be a subset of the Jews much like the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. As a result, the first generation of Christians attended a synagogue on the Sabbath Saturday, then met with Christians for the ...

Here is something for future viewing, the return of Babylon 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6PaqzKjHzU This is an an intriguing future series that I will likely binge watch when it comes out. I loved the original series back in the early 90s. The special effects are quite dated, but still not ...

Another bit of a thread-jack... Do folks who are believers in the "restoration-ist" movement put much credence in "where" some "famous prophet" like John the beloved might be buried? I understand Catholics with their sainthood-type-stuff "caring" about such things, but MORmONs? That's an ...

I'm not sure which kind of Faustian bargain you made with giving up random condiments in exchange for Sundays off and underpants from Target. However, does this new philosophy allow Green Ketchup?

I've been putting this off. The last episode detailing the ordeals of being a non-believing bishop was in early September. Our bishopric hit the 6 month mark in mid October, and here we are now in December. So I guess I've really got 7 1/2 months down. That's so much easier! /s græy, Thank you for ...

I thought Utah County was already NFL champions. National Fundamental League Other teams include: Tennessee Tithe Payers San Diego Sexual Repressed. The Arizona Cardinal Sins The San Francisco don’t 69’ers The Pittsburg Hospital Stealers If this possibly comes about will the "Utah Danites" be an app ...

Canada has its Thanksgiving Day in October. I assume they want to have it before winter hibernation. This was one of the tiny, tiny perks of being an American in Canada on my mission. We always got Canadian Thanksgiving and then inevitably some kind ward member would provide us with another dinner ...

That's an amazing story, Stealth. It's a painful balance of zealots trying to start and angry mob on one side and leaders on the other side that just wish the whole thing would disappear. But it has you caught right in the middle. We are glad that the incident did die down and you remain happy and ...

I took about 20 screen shots - I just need to get them up somewhere later... I stupidly used wix for ldsdiscussions.com so I am maxed on pages so I would have to delete something to add them. I'll add them later though - if you showed these to people out of the church this survey would scream cult ...

Let me know when this special experience gets a proper write up in the next issued the "Friend" magazine.

When you started with "Modular Construction", I immediately thought that the next temple might be a double-wide mobile home. While the subsequent thought was that this was absurd, now I'm imagining a couple of big rigs backing in the left and right half of the Montana temple onto the concrete pad in ...

I’m sure that one Angel with a flaming sword can answer your silly riddle.

Or James Earl Jones will provide the answer. The answer to the Riddle of Steel shows up in any history where men wield power over another.

Assumptions: - "Self" is more than just a body with a brain. The self persists in some form before birth and/or after death. - There is an entity that controls the universe. "God" - God regularly asserts his control over the universe. - God has an interest in what humans are doing. For mormons God ...

Will this new pronouncement from Russell Nelson allow FAIR to relax on the Book of Mormon historicity section of their apologetics? I imagine that Neal Rappleye and the further defenders of BoM historicity will simply use this idea as their ultimate "Get out of Logical Fallacy Jail Free" card ...

The ancient origins of the LDS temple ceremony are rarely more than parallel-omania. We can find ancient ceremonies that appear to have elements of the modern ceremony, but there are multiple problems with this idea. First, the parallels are almost never with Solomon's temple ceremonies in 900 BC or ...

How about this for an Abrahamic test: Place all of your most beloved beliefs on the altar. Surrender your trust in authority long enough to thoroughly study and test those beliefs that you hold dear. If you do it sincerely, and if it is true, God will send an angel to tell you when you have done ...

Neither historicity nor testimony of the Book of Mormon is a required belief in the temple recommend interview. This is one area of belief where wiggle room can be discussed. If you can provide the correct answers to the temple recommend questions and keep you mouth shut on any other issues then ...
