I guess when there is a "Continuing Restoration" the original church can die a thousand times. To me that is wiggle room to allow for for a redirection at a whimsical rate market conditions will allow for the religion. They should add a hymn to the next hymnal about "Follow The Yellow Brick Covenant Path" for it was revealed to Dorothy to follow the path "because, becau

I wonder who gets who closer to god in that relationship? They probably sing something along the lines of "I want to _____ you like a tithe payer/ I want to cash checks* from the inside" *edited to try the lyrics count funds while I'm inside... or something along those lines.

hahah I suppose there is. Though the early Saints were not concerned with incoming missiles or what not. Perhaps the temple is built tight like unto a bunker?

Agreed. May he hasten the great fizzling of the work of the Holy Corporation. Regarding Rusty appellations, I wonder if Aunt Wendy has a cute little nickname something along the lines of Nine Inch Nelson? And when on road trips they have sing alongs to the tune of "Head Like Hole/Black as your soul/ I'd rather die that give you control" And think of the members in the area they a

Maybe the Holy Corp wants/needs martyrs? Next GenCon they could talk about the faithful that were so hell bent on attending the temple that they gave up their lives for ordinances. And if nothing bad happens to anyone, another miracle. Or maybe we will hear stories of those members with faith to get blown up or faith not to get blown up. It is sick either way.

Oh that I were an angel and cold have the desire of my heart that the rest of this corporate monstrosity would fizzle when Rusty naturally departs this earthly probationary state.

There is the mind fuck that so many are susceptible to... Can you afford not to pay tithing? The implication is that the church wants it however it can convince or guilt or manipulate the faithful into paying it. The answer is yes, you can afford not to pay it. If there is any thing tithing does to a person, the giving away of a chunk of your money causes the payer to think about how to better

Then I think you will need to give up the dreams with Auntie Wendy. But from this talk, I think you are better off without her, even after Uncle Russ passes into the great beyond. She has 4 truths for all of us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlBE59Kipxo Me thinks you will reconsider what might be with that hot mess after the inevitable happens to Rusty.

Yes indeed. Fastest way to excommunication is misusing the Lord's funds or using them for your purposes. I knew of a stake president who was excommunicated faster than he could say "Hie to Kolob" for using some of the church funds for a personal loan. Shitty thing to do, but he was out of there super quick and could not be re-baptized until everything was re-payed with interest.

I wonder why the Temple Lot group does not build a temple to hasten the return of the Jesus. Money is probably a problem, but if they could start building it and spoil the plot of land, that would be great. Wasn't there a plot of land dedicated for a temple by Moroni or some 'ancient'? Was that Manti? I don't know much of what I'm talking about here... just talking with memory vapors here

Ahhhhh shit! I'm done for! Just gave me the thought of the old guy wanking it while giving their GC talk. Would be funny to edit the videos where an arm is sort of moving to a rhythm while they continue on with the talk. then edit in a pause and a funny(ier) look on their face before the "amen".

True. There is a who did it first kind of thing. It might take time or as older folks die off, they will associate temple quantity with Nelson. I just had the thought, is there a way to see who go the temple building contracts under Hinkley and who is getting them now? As we try to look at where temple money is going or who is financially benefiting under these two big temple announcers?

I know what you mean. I've seen those fools blocking traffic on some back roads during heavy traffic while it is dark out in the Houston area. Totally throwing caution to the wind. Sure they can have the right of way, but there is a stupid time and way to have the right of way.

From what I have seen, it is not just the Mormons... basically if there is a Christian business listing, stay the hell away from those people. Had some Mormon bosses that listed their business on a local Christian listing and found out shortly after that, these guys were shysters. The plus side is that once you know that the listing is to be avoided, a certain number of bad business people

Maybe our mortal minds just cannot comprehend the eternal principles at play here. Maybe God spiritually married Mary AND Joseph temporarily marries Mary. Where have we seen a woman married to multiple men at the same time? I think Smith was onto something. I came to the same thought about Jesus being a bastard early on in the church departure process and that was something to grapple with.

The "prophets in waiting" -- the apostholes that have a chance of sitting in the big chair probbaly have some sort of pet project they are working on for if and when the time comes for the world to see their spiritual might. Maybe the church has a pool of ideas for the less ambitious ones that do make it. The examples I can think of: Kimble: Every member a missionary Benson: Book

I'm sure Mary's experience was not a secret, but that it was just too sacred to talk about. What if God's seed was just too potent and the little swimmers only ended up on the skin? Or if she was just in the vicinity of God taking care of his needs in what He thought was a remote corner of Israel and His seed fulfilled the measure of its creation?
