Full immersion baptism is not a good idea for most computers.

And one more addition, this is why I say that Joseph Smith, with Joseph Smith's mentality back in those days, would NOT be able to run TODAY's Church, nor would Russell Nelson be able to run the Church in Joseph Smith's day. Each prophet was necessary in that specific time period. Joseph Smith woul...

Anger. Good or Bad?

The correct response is "I know the answer, and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise."

My suggestion is that if you are curious about Enoch, just jump in and read the book and save reading the commentaries for after. There is danger of not hearing the still small voice if one's thoughts have already been influenced by someone else's opinion, more so if we respect the other's opinion ...

Embrace change It seems like their goal is for smaller congregations. If that's the change they want, I think they're already starting to see it. Now watch them crank it up to 11. I can just imagine: Reduced unit sizes allow for a more intimate experience with the Savior and President Russell M. Ne...

I turned off the video after four minutes. I've been listening to this mantra about constant change for a few decades now and I just could not bear to hear it again. The remark about getting ready for more change... sounded like some BS coming from another one of those dreaded MBAs. Embrace the new...

https://gospelworthdyingfor.com/enochs-influence-on-the-new-testament/ According to bible scholar Robert Henry Charles, Enoch has had more influence on the New Testament than any other so-called apocryphal or pseudepigraphal work. This makes one wonder why we have been warned to stay away from the w...

I’ve always wanted to know the story behind this reference: D&C 128:20 The voice of Michael on the banks of the Susquehanna, detecting the devil when he appeared as an angel of light! And then there’s the story about Joseph Smith translating the Book of Mormon: While he was translating he stopp...

I'd be careful what you ask. All of what you ask is in a database. One crap hits the fan, they're coming to your house and putting you in a cage As I've said elsewhere, Russell M. Nelson is of little consequence. The authorities will be more interested in conspiracy spreading and "vaccine deni...

I hate the way that change is now continually presented as if it's something positive. After all, Bednar and the GAs should know that themselves as they have "changed" from young men to creakier, crankier older models.

In some ways, it’s definitely easier sneaking in - at least if there are reliable connections, documents etc. US Immigration does seem to treat foreigners as if guilty until proven innocent - even before 9-11. I wonder why they want all incomers to have the experimental shot… deterrent? Tracking? A...

I often feel like it would be easier to get into the USA in the back of a truck or a shipping container than through an airport and doing everything by the book. American immigration control is nuts for foreigners. They fingerprint and photograph you now apparently as if you are a criminal. I doubt...

It's interesting to work out where some of these things originate from. "Craig" is quite a common name in Scotland. It is an old Celtic word for a rock and may well be a doublet of "Peter" even though most people aren't aware of that. "Charles/Karl", "Adam" a...

One thing I'm noticing is that the "alternative" options are less measured and more sweary.

Simon (Shimon), James (Yacob), John (Yochanan) are all common Jewish names. There are a number of Simons, Judases (Yehuda), Josephs (Yosef) and Jacobs in the Bible.

Chip can you ask if it can write poems in meter, please?

I think it's commendable that he does this. However, he would learn a lot more if he visited in disguise. Ironically that would be a good excuse to mask up. Best thing he could do is cultivate some informants (or "touts"). Folk at ground level who would be honest with him. Or like that 'u...

Oaks stood up and said he likes to show up at wards randomly when he doesn't have an assignment because he likes to "see the real church" that he doesn't get to see when he's at stake conferences. Obviously I don't love the individual but I respect that. I'm sure he's aware there is a dee...
