Hi Long time no post. I generally consider myself over the morg and barely think about it anymore. Then a weird thing happened. I got a message that someone had replied to a comment I had made on a Mormon YouTube Video - 8 YEARS AGO. A Mormon, obviously, disagreeing with the idea that Missionaries in the UK told lies about (circulating rumours of) polygamy I had to reply and we basicall

OK, well it's a dead question the mods will remove this pretty soon anyway Donald Trump: there is voluminous evidence he knowingly colluded with the Russian state in the hacking of the U.S election, and laundered Russian money through shell companies. This evidence is both data-based, for example, based on the way the server he registered laundered stolen voter registration databases with t

If one goes, it is likely the whole pile will topple, and....... ok, so - I do not wish to get on the wrong mods and start talking politics, just take it as a hypothetical question and address it as if it might happen, and what it would mean for the church.....would the 'white horse' prophecy be back in play?

There is speculation that we could have Orrin Hatch as POTUS before the year is out. I know little about him other than he is a Utah Senator. Is he Pro-LDS How far (if at all) is he in the pocket of the CoJCoLDS?

There is a true 'Power of discernment' which, when used properly can guide your words and give you an almost intimate knowledge of what situation the person opposite is in it's also used by spiritists, mediums, fortune tellers and other various conmen It's called 'Cold reading', and - like all con tricks - can be learned In the church they use a mixture of cold reading (where you dont kn

I Honestly thought this was going to be about a certain nperson who will remain nameless. Rape is a pre-existing medical condition taking away health care from 24 million people is a great day for american healthcare getting your nasty laws passed by one lousy vote is a great victory well, you get the idea

I am a convert with no connection to LDS Polygamy However, it's statistically likely that I 'owe my very existence' to drunkenness, rape, and probably incest, at some point back in my lineage. there are definitely a few bastards in my background do I support rape? incest? No - not in any way, shape or form I dont think that being a being a product of polygamy means you 'owe' it anyt

I mention my nationality because 1) we do not have capital punishment in the UK 2) I mentioned several famous cases from the UK, where people were found innocent after they had been convicted ----- the sort of cases which would have attracted the death penalty in more barbaric parts of the world - the guilford 4 and birmingham 6 were convicted of (IRA) terrorist bombings. stephan Klitshco was

there is a russian version.........a complete rip-off, since they never paid copyright fees, or even referenced A A Milne (he was 'created' during the cold war) Many people who have seen both the disney and the Russian version prefer the russian version Vinnie Pukh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptEZwjO1DYI

My parents (Anglicans) were very strict on the use of swear words and - as the youngest of 5 I cant recall anytime I heard my parents OR siblings say anything worse than 'Damn'. We would have had no hesitation saying Pooh - either about the bear, or as a childish synonym for excrement - because no one in their right mind would consider it as swearing I guess it becomes a habit because I don

As an English person, I do not support capital punishment. I was brought up in a time when we were seeing major 'criminals' being released on a regular basis......because they were innocent the guildford 4, the birmingham 6. stefan klitchsko, the bridgewater 4 if we had capital punishment, ALL of those people would likely have been sentenced to death .............and while we live i

as a fan of freakonomics and the follow up book, blog podcast, etc, I should point out that the abortion/crime rate link has been challenged by other statisticians but the work has also been revisited and rigorously defended (statistically) by Levitt and Dubner

Late term abortions are sometimes a terrible consequence of the stupid laws that states require before they will consider any abortion. often a woman will be required to wait a few days between a clinic appointment and abortion. In some states people will have to travel hundreds of miles for an abortion appointment. and who are the sort of women that you are requiring to travel hundreds of m

a year or two ago, there was a change to the donations forms - which would be the same used for all offering, including fast offerings. without looking it up, i seem to recall the wording was something like: 'whatever box you checked, the money is ours now, suckers, and we are going to use it for whatever the hell we want'

the main proponents of the heroin overdose theory took their queue from the Daily mail - the Daily Mail, FFS, an English paper!! And one with a track record for - lets not put too fine a point on it - lying They were the first out with the story and - when I checked other sources, some of them actually quoted the DM as a source..... I assume the others just 'dogpiled' on the previous report

This scam is a variation of the Spanish prisoner and is as old as the hills.........much older than any of the grandpas or grandmas who have been called. you can warn people and let them know this is a possibility, but most people only find out after they have been contacted. you can tell (potential victims) to try this, or try that, but the awful thing about these is, they rely on getting

I agree that Heroin could be the cause of her death - and it may even be the most likely cause of her death. I am just saying do not ever trust the daily fail as a eliable source. I dont want to cross over the 'political discussion' line and get deleted by the mods - but it is a fact that the heroin epidemic has gotten worse since the US invasion of Afghanistan. Heroin is a real problem an

just goes to prove you *can* fit a square peg into a round hole just chisel off the edges, sand it down, et voila! You dont need a diploma to do research. College dropouts can do good, independent research too but this sounds like someone has started with a 'theory' and force fit everything they find to agree with their theory.
