Well,, they've been kicking them out (or suggesting they resign) for a while. I suspect that will continue.

He is the answer. We must follow Him. He can heal you. He can make you whole. He can purify you. He can save you. He has already suffered your pains, your heartaches, your guilt and shame. Don’t carry any of it alone. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ...

Also anyone got something else to say about Ardern's actual policies? Okay, I'm done with my part of thread-jacking the topic of Ardern's resignation. Personally, I think she resigned because she was hated - and hated for destroying the country because of her draconian cov restrictions. Canada and ...

I wish we could get fully body x-rays of these people. It would be easier for me to understand how they could be a different gender than they portray themselves to be. Ok I just picked something random - how about osteology? Pseudo science, or someone else knows more than you do about the human skel...

You've been missing out!

I wonder how many other powers people have simply because they're gingers?

As I look back on my life, I think the first thing that made me say "What the hell?" was in 1998. When Hinckley was asked about man possibly becoming a God in eternity, he said "I don't know that we teach it". I couldn't figure out why he would deny or dismiss church doctrine. I...

Wow! 😲 Not creepy at all. /s Indirectly, it was on another thread though. From one of the new threads Endlessquestions discusses the interaction he had with FAIR. I recall that someone pointed out that fairlatterdaysaints had attempted to answer the question if Nelson is a member of the Skull & ...

Gotcha ✔

9. Multiple changes made to temple ordinances. Multiple changes made in my lifetime alone.

Yeah. So much for unchanging ordinances.

My tipping point? I believe questions about the church really started with 9/11 and why they didn’t call out the corruption. Same here. That's when the doubt began, even though I didn't quite realize it at the time. It was the leaders themselves that were instrumental in my mistrust beginning and g...

Not sure why you say that. It looked to me like you were saying we shouldn't expect a Church that claims to be God's own authorized entity to be any different from any worldly corporation. I thought the scriptures tell us to be better - more honest, more pure, less focused on wealth and looking goo...

Consider bringing an item of delicious food to class and offering it to a student who is willing to commit to eating it before knowing what the food is. Choose a volunteer. Before showing the food to the student, ask why he or she trusts you enough to accept it before knowing what it is. Is it poss...

I am so glad I left that nonsense behind. From the Church News article: He said he has heard others say the Prophet and Apostles can make mistakes and are simply human. While this can be true, Elder Hamilton reminded listeners that decisions which are made in Christ’s Church always require a unanimo...

If that option had been there, that's what I would have ticked.

Well if the vaccines were depopulating the Earth they are doing a pretty pathetic job at that. Remember, I am supposed to be dead in six months and change! A lot of people got saline, maybe you did too. I am hoping and praying that that's what my daughter got (she was required to get it as a health...

Yes. I think there would have been a much less chance of wholesale apostasy so close to the beginning.

TheDuke wrote: ↑January 28th, 2023, 8:01 pmBut, sorry the entire world is that way, why should a complex organization like the church be any different?

Sad reflection on a Church that claims to be God's one and only, God's chosen people, that it isn't any different than the world.

Next thing you know, they're throwing luncheons in her honor at the Beehive house: Completely off topic, but my sister had her wedding reception at the Beehive house. My understanding is that she was the last one allowed to do that. (And my oldest brother slid down the banister - just because he co...

Was there another Way? In other words, could they have experienced the Knowledge of how to discern good and evil without PREMATURELY taking of the fruit which had been forbidden them? It appears so... They ought to have waited upon the Lord for the proper time to partake of such knowledge. They cou...

I guess its mom taught it to bless its food before eating.

Therefore I command you to repent—repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore—how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.
