Isn't that the truth

Critics of the Mormon church are often accused of quote mining, well here's a shining example of quote mining from the Corporation of the First Presidency This is the quote from "Race and the Preisthood" released last week: "President Young said that at some future day, black Church members would “have the privilege and more” enjoyed by other members" And here's

I knew a person who was told she was from the Levite tribe, that person's last name was Levi... Hmmmm wonder where the stake fortune teller got that from.

Is it just Leviticus 18?

I often hear that Joseph broke his own rules of polygamy by marrying sisters? Where was this prohibited?

Errol Morris, Alex Gibney, Davis Guggenheim, Heidi Ewing just to name a few. Dozens of great directors out there. It's a real stretch to even call Moore's movies documentaries a lot of the time.
Forum: Recovery Board

Come on Moore is anything but a great investigative mind. He is highly biased and highly sensationalistic side show. He's near the bottom of my list as a choice to do a doc on the morg.
Forum: Recovery Board

Moore doesn't usually lie but he chooses omit at least half of the story. There are some instances like the bank/gun scene in Bowling For Columbine that were just flat made up. We could do a lot better than Michael Moore for an expose.

I agree, along with the weirdo temple ceremony by stint as the ward financial clerk were really the first cracks in my faith.

Do they even pay attention to what's in their own made up book? “Ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness of your apparel” (Jacob 2:13) “Can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel?” (Alma 5:53).

It does involve reincarnation, from what I've gathered the belief is we are repeatedly reborn until one achives complete light or complete darkness. So if you're lucky enough to be born mormon you would have had progressed to that point because of your good works in previous lives. On the other side, if you're born a crack baby or aids baby it's due to your previous wickedness. Also there's somet

Seems to have some popularity among TBMs, I've heard a lot of bit's and pieces but haven't heard it in it's entirety. The nuts who believe it usually won't offer up much because it's not what the church teaches.

It's just a cheap psychological trick, White is psychologically associated with tranquility,clarity,simplicity,purity,minimalism and cleanliness among other things. It's no wonder some feel those kind of things, especially with all the nonsense taught about how special it supposedly is.

In the end they really only needed one miracle, that was to stop the "inspired" leadership from making the selfish and deadly decision to leave way too late in the year.

I wonder when the "saints" became uber-patriotic? I'm guessing during the John Birch Society fueled era of Benson and Skousen, anybody have an idea?

So watching the news I see nearly every float, wagon and person is adorned with a American flag. Can they really be that clueless about history? The temple ceremony at the time included: "You and each of you do covenant and promise that you will pray and never cease to pray to Almighty God to avenge the blood of the prophets upon this nation, and that you will teach the same to your children

We all know if there had been actual gold plates they would have melted them down by now to fund more commercial real estate development.

This is a new policy is it not? A new way to extort money from any member who doesn't want to be humiliated in front of family. What a shameful tactic.
