Hi everyone, Time out is good. It helps you clear your head. Communicate with your Father. Rest. Relax. Recuperate. I seem to remember my Master putting Himself in timeout from time to time. Wise to follow His example, I think. And so... After thinking, and praying, and getting some answers last ni...

It's annoying. Speaking of annoying... Here I come ;) I am only through 10 pages of this fascinating discussion and research, as I did not open this discussion up until earlier today (well - yesterday now...) And I'm going to add my thoughts based on some of your most pointed questions (through pag...

If I already talked about this one, please forgive me: page 44, Volume One "On September 27 Pierce and I left for Salt Lake City where we participated in the blessing of new grandson, Mark Bradley Campbell, Jr. What a beautiful baby he was! His eyes were so large and expression, his countenanc...

I just heard that Gongs son recently came out of the closet A) I don't know how public that knowledge has been, but I'd say it's been known in these parts for many years. B) How is this relevant to the conversation? It certainly could influence his thoughts regarding homosexuality in the church. An...

Revised list: Are there serious sins in your life that need to be resolved with priesthood authorities as part of your repentance? Do you consider yourself worthy to enter the Lord’s house and participate in temple ordinances? If you can answer yes to these two. IMNSHO The rest do not matter. Sir H

Wait- Elizabeth Smart was treated like a used can of tomatoes by the church? I have not heard that. I didn’t know her dad thought he was a girl either. I thought he ‘just’ said he was gay. Her dad came out as gay, not as a woman. But this headline…. :shock: “ Elizabeth Smart's father says coming ou...

They are tricking him.

Just you wait and see!

Just imagine. Not knowing. One big happy, not actually heavens no, family. Just serving the Lord. Prosperity gospel. Calvinism. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.5yo7eLhRbdg2LaML_IFHlQAAAA%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=0bba94afa444389c786701d...

In researching the names of the players in Bev's sphere of influence, it becomes apparent to me again how strange the use of initials is in the church to hide family relations (Dallin HARRIS Oaks, Henry BENNION Eyring etc.) of prominent church leaders. The nepotism isn't as easy to detect. You've g...

There is more to this story as well.

Some familiar names.

The question I have is who is recommending people like this for advancement in the Church? The top two qualifications for advancement is successful/moneyed and educated. The last qualification is being a yes man and the ability to parrot the corporate mantra in everything you do. I find it interest...

The "S" in David S. King is for "Sjodahl". Pretty sure that's another B.H. Roberts intelligentsia connection right there. I'll have to look it up in a bit. Right. Sjodahl was definitely a part of the B.H. Roberts saga. A BIG part of it. Here we are: "Janne Mattson Sjodahl (...

Perhaps the Church realized a working couple, both with large incomes, can bring in more tithing than a stay-at-home mom trying to handle eight children. The McMansions of the Wasatch Front seem to validate it. And the more likely the children will follow satan since they will have very little pare...

Perhaps. Either way, at this point it is pretty tough to distinguish the Church from Babylon. But you make a good point, we have now reached a point where most Mormons would probably rather have a McMansion than children. And the corresponding extra tithing income does seem to be more important to ...
