Yeah, well Joseph Smith predicted in 1835 that Jesus would return in 53 years. And if he was killed it would take 10 years off that. So the saints prepared for Christ's return in 1878 and it didn't happen. So they prepared again in 1888 a little less enthusiastically and again it didn't happen. The Mormons have been telling us for almost 200 hundred years Christ was about to return. I thin

I do know that it was never reported in the Deseret News at the time. It took about 50 years for the faith promoting story to take shape. I guess someone remembered a seagull, Barfy was it's name, eating some crickets and then throwing up.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here, but the other day I had made a comment on an article in the Salt Lake Tribune and mentioned how the Mormon Church was a fraudulent lie. Someone replied that I must have evidence that others don't have. Now I don't believe for one second that person has no clue as to the evidence that exists against the Mormon Church.

When you left the church, did you feel the change? Did you feel that point when the priesthood left you; when the Holy Ghost abandoned you? That empty feeling. That feeling of being lost. Did you get that gut wrenching feeling? Did it come over you suddenly when they received your letter, or perhaps 30 days later when they put the date of name removal next to your name? Perhaps it was w

We very seldom enter an LDS church anymore. Only the occasional wedding reception or viewing/funeral. I thought receptions haven't been too bad because we can be in and out and just in the gym area. Well we attended a viewing last Friday evening. Oh, my hell. Just the smell. Now that we've been out of it for so long, LDS churches are just so creepy to us. We went to the viewing to see r

So you were one of those, were you? I couldn't figure out what happened to friends who went on missions. Hell, most of them didn't believe it when they went and they came back friggin' idiots. I lost a brother to a mission. My mother was so disgusted at the way he returned that she forbade the bishop from asking me to go on one. So I guess one good thing came out of my brother's mission.

I was thinking about how Romney, during his campaign, says one thing to one group of people and another thing to another group of people. He doesn't tell or reveal everything, and he doesn't really answer a question if it's not one of his talking points. He's given his art of politicking the good ol' Mormon twist. Mormon mothers whisper into their toddler's ear, and the toddler repeats, &quo

The lottery number you received was based on your birth date. School, missions, or anything else had nothing to do with receiving a lottery number. Each year a lottery was held to draw birthdays for those turning draft age. First birthday drawn was #1 and so on. My lottery number was 9. I stayed in school with a IIS deferment until I graduated. A IIS deferment was only good for 4 years.

No advice on what to eat, but extremely important to hydrate yourself. As for advice for the run, start really slow. Make yourself feel like you're running really slow to start. Don't get caught up in the rush of the start and burn yourself out in the first 10K. When you concentrate on starting slow, your pace automatically picks up as you go without even thinking about it.

It's a personal satisfaction of having your name removed. There's satisfaction of writing the letter, sending it in, and in effect, rubbing their face in the absurdity of it all. Plus it's such a feeling of freedom. But keep in mind, your name and records are not really removed. They keep all your records and information intact. All they do is put a date by your name.

They can date the papyri from carbon dating and also from the type of Egyptian writing used. The date of the papyri is somewhere between 100 BC to 100 AD.

The only reason Mormons believe it's the Holy Ghost is because they've been TOLD it's the Holy Ghost. Take the Moroni challenge, for example. You're suppose to read the BofM and if you do it with a sincere heart, with real intent, blah, blah, blah, then the Holy Ghost will manifest the truth, blah, blah, blah.
