I actually get that same dark disturbing feeling when I read all the whining and complaining and critical remarks and accusatory posts made here on the LDSFF... It's strange that someone would willingly spend any time at all in a place (LDSFF) that gives them dark, disturbing feelings. We are couns...

Welcome to the LDSFF where no middle ground is ever to tolerated. What middle ground to you think should be tolerated here? (Btw I frequently take the middle ground on other topics). You think we should cover paintings of Jesus for Muslims to pray to another God? You think we should give them money...

There are two influences going on here. First of all, there are more women who are in control of how much money is paid in tithes, either because they are single, or the main breadwinner, or co-breadwinners in their marriages. If they feel harmed by the temple ceremony, they won't need to pay tithe...

Kid knows what’s up.

Many kids do know what's up because they're taught by their parents.

What does Lucifer say in the Garden of Eden? “I will use gold and silver and the treasures of the earth to buy up armies and navies and rule with blood and horror on the earth...” Think money is immaterial..?? It’s the medium where Satan carries forward his nefarious plan. What did the early Apotle...

The D&C states quorums are equal in power and not hierarchical. Not really- 33 The Twelve are a Traveling Presiding High Council, to officiate in the name of the Lord, under the direction of the Presidency of the Church , agreeable to the institution of heaven; to build up the church, and regul...

I would say your focus may be off. Because the foundation of Christ is most certainly planted with keys and priesthood. Nowhere else is that available on earth than in the church. So, we should use the keys given us. Not focus on men and their inadequacies. You'll find it difficult to discuss with ...

Look where "Follow the Prophet" and "We cannot lead you Astray" has taken some people. They are stuck defending ISLAM and ISLAMIC beliefs. They are defending the COVERING UP of paintings of Jesus Christ for Muslims to pray to their God(Our God is a jealous God by the way). They ...

Ammon wouldn't have denied the existence of Jesus Christ and "covered" any mention of him as he is supposed to be preaching of Christ to the Lamanites. I don't think anyone has denied the existence of Christ to appease the Muslims? If you have to exaggerate to prove a point then it's prob...

Yes, he helped everyone. None of that offends me. I think Christ would help and bless all these individuals.. individually. I don't think that means that he wouldn't also disapprove of inviting them into our Chapels and covering pictures of HIM, our SAVIOR, our CREATOR in order for them to pray to ...

Picture the Book of Mormon. Now Picture the Lamanites forming an organized religion, rather than the disorganized belief in some "Great Spirit" that they have in the BoM. Picture the Lamanite religion believing what Muslims believe. Picture a solid 20% of them being extreme. More than ext...

I have felt for some time that the Church is ramping up efforts with the Muslim faith.

You might be right. I was thinking the Jews are in the cross-hairs, maybe even the Catholics because of the Rome Temple and it being a so called hinge point.

The previous day we welcomed President Nelson to Australia, we did not expect, ask for, nor receive financial assistance. Islam is the Church of Lucifer. I find it offensive to in any way support Muslims, financially or otherwise. That is your opinion. I have several wonderful friends who are Musli...

Some people would prefer uneducated people lead the church. 7 And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith 15 And set in order the churches, and study and learn,...

If my OP quoting Christ causes contention, you'd better ask YOURSELF WHY ! and WHERE or WHO this contention comes from - fighting against my post where I quoted Christ. Only the father of contention would do such. He was NOT referring to your original post. Stop deflecting and start taking some res...

Depressing ??? Impressive is more the word I was thinking.

Depressing ??? Impressive is more the word I was thinking. Yea, well I'm more impressed with the fisherman, carpenter, and uneducated types. Accolades, titles, degress, money mean nothing to me. How many degrees did Joseph Smith have? How many so called experts with all their degrees clown on Josep...

Oliver Cowdery didn't leave the church because of the Fanny Alger accusation. He left for a few reasons and one of them was clear that he didn't like Joseph's relationship with Fanny. He wrote about it in a letter to his brother prior to his leaving the church. Contemporary stuff. That sealings did...

Here's non-LDS author's take after stopping and interviewing people living in Utah in the 1860's: Polygamy is a recent feature in the Mormon religion, and was added by Brigham Young after Joseph Smith’s death. Before that, it was regarded as an “abomination.” This verse from the Mormon Bible occurs...

Good grief - the church tells Zimbabwe's VP we are not a rich people to help them construct clean water wells Yep, it's similar to a charity telling Kim Jong Un that they don't have money to give him for his "charitable activities". You really don't think these 3rd world country leaders a...

again "what a waste of time", to even reply to those who scoff, and are only serving the one who is the father of contention. You ought to, along with the rest of us, consider yourself as one who serves the father of contention. Pride blinds us so it's hard to see us as we really are. You...

Barely a flurry.

Gotta go slow for those who can't handle change.
