I'm sure that your sources might be good, but they might not know everything. It's very likely that the legal department is keeping it really quite and will let the PR department handle it when it happens, hoping to call the bluff.

My take, after looking at the same postings is, I think there will be financial documents released/uncovered. He might have some inside information that he's been bound to not disclose by some legal contract that ends in october. If he's suggesting that tithing money could be returned (or at least legally asked for) then that means that there is something that would legally compel the church to d

That reminds me of my mission. Several missionaries expressed that they wouldn't mind dying on their mission because it was a surefire way to get the CK. Kind of morbid and encourages dangerous behavior

Humm... I wonder if there's a market for a software filter that will do that to online porn. That might sell, lol.

For me and my wife things got better. We've always used porn before as TBM but felt guilty about it, and we never really had a problem with each other using it except for the church guilting us to think we should be guilting each other. Now my wife doesn't feel like she is the only answer to my high labido comparied to her. She always felt that she would need to satisfy me every time and I hated

It very much felt like they are blaming the girls for her boy's sexual thoughts and that it's impossible for the boys to grow up clean and good with women/girls being flirty. I guess all the girls should cover up like muslim women so that no boy ever has an impure thought. And they better be wearing bra's under those covers! Heaven forbid the boys ever know that women have nipples!

The article: http://givenbreath.com/2013/09/03/fyi-if-youre-a-teenage-girl/ There's an article linked on facebook seems to be suggesting that this lady thinks she can stop her boys from thinking sexual thoughts about teenage girls by blocking all of them that have any suggestive/sexy pictures on their facebook. I think the mother is a little extreme and is worrying about the wrong side of the

The chrome one seems buggy, they also state that they support regular expressions, but there's no documentation. Although it was fun to change MORmON into MORON™

Maybe they are confusing intellectualism with mental puzzles about conflicting doctrines and myths. Basically they are investing their thoughts at determining how Santa can visit all the kids in one night. There's lots to daydream about with fiction, endless possibilities!

It's just classic mind control. Erase identity, enforce crazy rules, no regard for an individual or their needs. Everything must be done for the group, nothing else matters.

I'm curious, does anybody know where this came from doctrinally, and I specifically mean, where the leadership would have the gift. I'm sure it's in D&C somewhere...

I saw both sides growing up. I was homeschooled until 4th grade, went into public, went back out for 5th, went back to public for 6th and back out again after half of 7th, then back in again after skipping a grade as a sophomore in high school. I had problems with the other kids because I was shy and small and non-confrontational, but I still had friends. When I started public school I was wa

Those sites don't have the studies referenced either. I'm looking for scientific peer reviewed studies, not scary propaganda, had enough of that from TSCC. The book might contain those grade of references, but I'm skeptical. I don't doubt that no drugs for a healthy person is probably best, but I also don't think everything will kill you. Questions I have about the claims that were made are,

Spooky, I was just reading Steven Hassan's book and this sounds a lot like the bait and switch the moonies did to him for the 3-day weekend. Brainwashing 101 basically. Unnerving and now I would call them out for such shallow recruiting methods, if I could get over the shock of the whole thing.

You should try clearing your cookies or install anti-ad plugins (if you're in Firefox or chrome) to disable or hide the annoying ad's. Adblock plus is in both and it works really well for me.

Make sure to click on them and make them spend money on you, but, be warned, ad companies are able to track you across multiple websites. Just visiting the church's website will probably make it so you see more of the church's ad's. I've seen this with cars, coffee, 1-800 contacts, and so on. Just visiting the main page then going to any other website that has ad's from their ad network will

Yes, but that's about as useful as arguing with a morgbot, better to show them what they are missing, they will figure it out themselves.

Sounds like you don't feel you are beautiful, which is sad if that is true. I feel women shouldn't shout at people that think this way, they should have enough confidence to feel beautiful as they are and not worry about if every guy or Hollywood agrees with them.

Beauty is so subjective. OP could be talking about Hollywood's version or something else entirely. An interesting look into how beauty actually works for men, based on statistics: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-mathematics-of-beauty/

You know what is worse for your health than caffeine, Morg membership. It produces all those bad results :-) . it's constant drain on your life force causes you to seek stronger drugs to keep you "happy" so more morgbots can join in the delusion.

Does she post sources for any of her claims? She had a huge list, but no sources.. I'm interested and skeptical. At the moment the caffeine is actually the safest drug for my depression, but I want to know more.

I think it will diminish rapidly as more people grow up accepting human Rights that they are opposed to. They will rapidly change or die, but they can't remain the same. They will become something that blends in with everything around them.

That reminds me of my last two companions and how they thought that everyone in the mission was just faking their depression to get out of doing work, including me. They were my zone leaders. They didn't think depression existed, despite my attempts to inform them. Fracking retards.
