How about a Rel Soc Pres that is into Glen Beck so much that she attended his "something big is about to happen' rally a couple of years or so ag0. When she got home she had a special rel soc meeting in the ward to discuss what she learned from Brother Beck. It Would not surprise me if she bought a BIG GLEN signature dildo at the rally and uses it as she "prays for help daily in her cl

In his very pro evolution book Finding Darwin's God, biologist Kenneth Miller suggests God works at the quantum level and we will never be able to detect his work. It's kind of a weird book. 95% is all about evolution and easily shooting down all the creationist arguments, but then he makes the suggestion that there is a God and he works at the quantum level. It's a good read especially if y

I live in No Davis County in a new subdivision. I'd guess that about 1 in 5 or less of new houses are occupied by Mormons. On my street of about 20 houses, there is one family that goes to church and in that family mom is inactive and dad takes the kids. There are other mormons around, but none attend or only attend if with family on Cmas, Easter etc (that's us). The mother of the guy across

I think going with friends is totally diferent than going with a leader. You don't want her to feel like a loser because all her friends are going and she isn't. Most kids could care less about the message, they just want to hang out and have fun. I guess I think there's no best way. It depends on the kids involved. You are the parent, you know all the circumstances. For example, my dau

Lol - God has done a lot of dumb - a - stuff... I also like a literal Job interpretation. So, God and Satan meet at a bar and make a bet that this guy Job won't crack. So God lets Satan destroys this guys life just to make a point and win a bet at a bar. God and Satan are like the two rich idiots in "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy where they destroy a guys life for a $1 bet.

My wifes father is always claiming credit for everything good my wife did. He claims he paid for everything etc. He is also an abusive narcissisitic a____e. It is hard for her to get over, especially when he tells her siblings he paid for everything etc., and she occasionally sees and aunt etc., and they tell her the same garbage. Your mother might also be a narcissist. If so, you should

I went to BYU in geology and I can tell you that death on earth for billions of years, evolution, study of fossils and mainstream science is business as usual. I got a solid -no supernatural stuff- education at BYU Two BYU profs are experts on dinosaurs and a former BYU prof was the worlds expert on fossil sponges. As I recall he wrote the chapter on sponge fossils in the "Treatise on In

Gotta give him credit for bringing up issues and suggesting people learn. If he stopped there and told people to decide for themselves it would have been fantasic. Instead he proceeds down the "anti-mormon" path and makes it out like Mommonthink etc.. have hidden intent of bring you down. He also suggests the false dichotomy of "you are either a believer or non believer and this

Great insight. Its all about the cash flow. I was so mad about it my wife wanted to medicate me before the setting apart! When the guy was our bishop he insinuated my wife was trying to steal money from the ward budget because she turned in a request for repayment for scouts without a receipt.

The day my son was to be set apart for a mission he was called in by a councilor in the state pres (our former bishop) and grilled about tithing. After the interview he came home and told my wife he was being required to to pay several hundred dollars. Because he was 19 and a normal kid that likes to have fun he did not have the money though he did have a job. So - my wife I paid up for him t

There is no more need for religion and no more need for people to prove they are "good" or be redeemed from "sin." The human condtion info at the webpage below says humans are the only animal with both genetic instinct and nerve based learning systems in each head. This "human condition" creates ego centric people that do bad things to one another, so they need r

Uchtdorfs suggestions are a pathetic pile of crap. As discussed in detail above they (GAs) have known the history for a very long time and have withheld the information. Not only do they withhold the information they beat up on people for not paying tithes or towing the line, which is the really nasty part. In my view, LDS Inc is no different than the tobacco companies in that big tobacco kn

I hear you. It me about a year, but my wife has seen the light. What really helped me was the church shooting itself in the foot. I sent her every article in newspapers etc., but not what she saw an "anti." It also helped that some of her co-workers were saying the same things I did. The members and their idiotic statements and demands also did not hurt. I reminded her how pissed

One of the main reasons for the bad is the lack of understanding about the cause of the human condition. Now that we know that the search for understanding causes the anger, upset and ego it is easier to return to the "good." As mentioned it also explains why people need religion. It is way to prove you are good and get redemption from your "bad" acts. Platos cave i

Humans are the only animals on earth with two learning systems; genetically programmed instincts (conscience) and nerve based learning system. Before about 2 million years ago hominids lived by instinct (conscience), and the instinctive orientation of humans is to be good and cooperative as a survival strategy. About 2 million years ago we developed the nerve based learning system. Two lea

Now if LDS Inc., wants this to end and see a bump in the tithes why not just send the 3 Nephites. They could each swab their mouths, get a bit of DNA and SLAM DUNK for Tommy and the Brethern. I can't wait! Hopefully Cain/Bigfoot will also show up and the 3 Nephites and Cain can duke it out.

I found the love of my life so that part is awesome. Her dad is a douche, and she agrees, but all is well. The part I would do over is have my parents present at the wedding. I have felt bad about my parents not attending and apologized at the time. They were great about it and organized a wedding breakfast immediately after that was way more fun than the temple cattle call. The temple sea
