The Church would do well to offer five-year missions that include awarding a BA degree in marketing or archeology from BYU upon completion, plus introductions to the young LDS brides of their choice. Also, admission into the Graduate CPA program if they wish to cook the books further. Hey, funny as ...

I think the witnesses are the best thing the church has in a sea of evidence against its claims. There isn't any evidence in the americas that the Nephites ever existed. The church with all its billions doesn't even bother to look (because they know they won't find anything). Joseph Smith is turning ...

It's definitely nonsense, any way you look at it. The history is unsupportable with the claims. No nephites existed outside of the imagination. DNA solved that and continues to do so along with every other discipline. The book of abraham was clearly made up. Priesthood power is imaginary. Nelson ...

He overreacted to Kwaku's inglorious basterds video for effect. I wonder how John Dehlin would react if Kwaku took a clip from Fatal Attraction and pasted Dehlin's face over that of Michael Douglas? I don't know how Dehlin would react but I think it'd be funny. He also should paste Rosebud's face ...

Kwaku is a self promoter just as much as John is. He knows he’s building his influencer brand. Whatever that is. Big Provo Nuisance? However, wouldn’t it be ironic if John was funding this through back room deals? You know, to create buzz around his own brand? I like the theory. The church always ne ...

It seems like neither critics nor apologists have a lot to say about the Book of Moses. Today and tomorrow BYU, The Interpreter Foundation, Book of Mormon Central, and FAIR are holding a conference called Tracing Ancient Threads in the Book of Moses. Anybody following this? It looks like they ...

Kwaku strikes me as one of those people who goes through life with both middle fingers permanently extended, looking for any spotlight to step into. He's just the thing for people who want quick answers without actually having to spend much time thinking. At first I thought he was out of place at ...

Kwaku has a brand new video out called “ The End of John Dehlin .” Not sure if some new Mormon group is bankrolling this character assassination video or if it one of the usual suspects just doing a clandestine end-run around after they had been told to knock it off and act in a disciple of Jesus ma ...

Knowing what I know now, I would go to a total service model, ditch the "truth" claims, and tell the potential converts/members that the church has so much money already and that the better course of action would be to not pay any tithing and demand that the church start using the so-called rainy ...

This is another reason I am glad I left. I don't know how I would deal with an overreacting spouse to something common and natural. And now they are undergoing individual and group church therapy and their mother, my daughter, is watching them like a hawk. They are going to turn the poor kid into a ...

I think it will die out like most religions eventually will. More and more people are realizing these religious concepts are just myth created by humans to cope with the unknown, death being the biggest unknown.

I am almost done with the podcast now. I don't think Mr. Bleakley will be satisfied in his quest to change the leaders from the inside. Only outside pressure changes these bozos. I feel for him. He seems really sincere, wanting to make reasonable changes that give more power to the members. I agree ...

I hope more members will follow Ms. Riess' example. Only through pressure will the Q15 change course and actually do something worthwhile with the money. Just think of what $100 Billion could do in the area of medical science! Solving covid or cancer would go a long way to rebuilding the damaged ...

They were in those barges/submarines for almost a year, without fresh water. Did the magic rocks also act as a water purification system, too? What about the sanitation problems? Urine and feces would be spilling all over everywhere when trying to shove it through the small hole. At a certain point ...

Man, Dan Peterson has now entered the fray to support his buddy John Gee and his battle with secular heathens: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2020/09/shut-up-he-explained.html Reading the comments, it's just hilarious - there's a troll that keeps asking Dan if he is "going to follow the ...

It doesn’t change the fact that we don’t have Jewish DNA. What we do know is the kumara is not native to New Zealand. It is native to South America, specifically Peru.iy also isn’t uniform as Asian genetic markers have also been found in Polynesian DNA. Linguistically and culturally, there are small ...

Has a transcript of one of the early 2a's.

Having the woman wash the man's feet is so LDS. Also, I wonder if one of the 2nd anointed ever cursed someone and it worked? It reminds me of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtTBLMqAPo0

http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/111000/Jesus-Christ-with-a-Machine-Gun-111401.jpg I think this better encapsulates the true Jesus right before he wiped out all the wicked in 3 Nephi 8-9. Maybe put the following scripture under the above to quietly remind the members to pay their tithes and ...

I think Jesus never smiled because he was a tortured soul what with having to face his impending death that was decreed from the beginning, for some reason. I'm sure he had a lot of wtf moments and probably screamed out to his God daddy the closer the doom and suffering approached. What the hell Dad ...

The Lord isn't worried about such trivial things as covid-19. Death comes to us all. He is more concerned with scheduling changes and quorum reshuffling and so He inspires His trusted servant Rusty's pen to write new and inventive ways to conduct meetings, and run the organization, after doing the ...
