Ever hear of receiving two blessings in one lifetime? No excommunication involved either... Just two blessings. This trend was frequent in the early days of Mormonism. Why? Because the patriarch was PAID for giving the blessing. So members would receive more than one AND they would get better with each blessing. Thus the more the merrier. One item present in most blessings given in the mid

A friend of mine had a daughter that was not accepted to BYU and the entire family was perplexed and very disappointed. The girl ended up going to UVU and decided to go on a mission. She was called to Spain which is where her father served his mission and the family spin was that IT WAS ALL MEANT TO BE. A few years later my friend was called to be the bishop of his ward. As he became acquaint

As he couches his opinions in sarcasm and humor, along with the fact that he is somewhat of a public figure in Utah, Kirby is safe from the inquisitor's mighty backhand of Mormon spiritual justice.

If this occasion arises a meaningful dialogue could include references to the CESLetter.com or Mormonthink.com. Millenials can't help but visit these sites online. It's what they do.

I think Kirby is baiting those bastards just daring them to excommunicate him. We shall see how this plays out.

That hard shit drives me crazy. "Do Hard Things" was a little sign on our bishop's desk. So stupid. Is it harder to leave than it is to stay? Both pretty tough in my book once you realize Mormonism is total bullshit.

Bottom line, Mormon wards send way too much money to headquarters and have access to way too little for youth programs and other congregational events. They do this on purpose knowing that local members, especially those with financial means, will fill in the gap to make youth activities and ward parties fun enough to pass as worth doing. If the money was so tight this is what had to be don

All parents of seminary students should read the registration agreement before signing it (online). It's a legal agreement that must be followed by you and your student. You are agreeing to let TSCC monitor your children's online activity while in the building. You are agreeing to release any images taken of your child to be used FOREVER. Read it.

Disagree AND Mormon priesthood leaders decide what is actionable. A priesthood holder marrying a gay couple could easily be seen as conduct unbecoming a member. The right stake president and circumstances could easily land a priesthood holder in a disciplinary council, and a man with an attitude like Kirby could easily be excommunicated. However, with someone like Kirby who has such notoriety

Kirby is Mormon Royalty. Seriously he's famous throughout Utah and the main leaders are not going to fuck with him. Simple enough.

Nailed it OSU. Absolutely. Self righteous TBM's use money and position to define righteousness. The antithesis of Christ's teachings. Conclusion? The Mormon church is the antithesis of Christ's true church.

There is a book and it is titled "The philosophy of a Future State" by Thomas Dick. I have heard from others that some of the points in the Book of Abraham are taken from this book. I have not read it so I cannot attest to the accuracy of that claim. However, let me say this about the last three years of my in-depth study of Mormon history and doctrine: I don't believe Joseph S

The answer that comes to my mind is THE LAMANITES. The Book of Mormon was to serve as "the scriptures" for the Lamanites (i.e. Native Americans). Am I wrong about this?

Who gives a shit if he fathered a child. If I fuck the next door neighbor every week she won't be getting pregnant. Why? We don't want her to get pregnant.

Joseph made Emma a liar and an accomplice to adultery. She knew what was going on and was simply trapped by circumstances. At first, she was separated from her family. Then she was a young mother separated from her family. No money. No transportation. She was chained to Smith. A completely honest Emma Smith would most likely have made the statement: "I wish I never met that man."
