This reminds me of the new series Outer Limits episode where aliens knew the Earth was going to be bombarded by way-more-intense-than-usual radiation and sent a formula for a drug that would change people into black skinned Teletubbies so they would still be able to live outdoors. Young people accepted the change but older people wouldn't. Northern Europeans have never been the majority of the h

Only barbarians wantonly destroy art and culture. To kill artists for their art is a crime against all humanity.

He argues Joseph was deeply traumatised by his painful leg surgery -- hence the obsession with swords, baptism at the same age (eight), etc.: https://books.google.com/books?id=u5kk7Z9t7qIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=sword+of+laban&hl=en&sa=X&ei=h-qsVMBHwp027P6CyAY&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=sword%20of%20laban&f=false

...and he didn't choose me. All the other guys I've met are either macrophiles obsessed with tall women or insecure boys who are only interested in being serviced by submissive vapid airhead arm candy that inflates their egos. I've given up on men so I'm not the one to ask. It's even harder with women.

I agree with the others. Ignore it or respond with a light-hearted humorous response. I had a close friend at school who was a born-again evangelical Christian who was genuine in his belief -- unlike so many others. He felt a deep, personal need to tell me about Jesus, being saved, etc. I told him I knew all about it and didn't believe a world of it but would listen if it made him feel bette

some people take it too far. What is and is not erotic is within the mind of the individual and is totally subjective. When I was in school the rule was skirts had to reach one hand's width above the knee. I had one Mormon female friend who would never ever wear a skirt above the knees. I had a female manager from India who thought skirts above the mid-calf line were "short." I wear

I spend a lot of time working in heavily air-conditioned computer rooms or closed areas and I always wear tights. I grew up with the notion that you always wore dress pants with tights (pantyhose) underneath, wore tights under skin tight jeans to keep them from chafing and also to give the illusion you weren't wearing anything at all under them -- especially if you were wearing boots or heels.

...just not on this Earth ;) They can't dump the "Book Of Mormon." Everything stands and falls on Joseph Smith having the "truth." They've pushed this for so long they've dug their own grave. I suppose they could have a year long countdown prep for a new "revelation" that will finally reveal at long last that the Brethren have known for "some time"

What if you met an investigator on your mission who already knew everything and believed they were special and favoured with white skin because they were valiant in the pre-existence and wanted to join the church to be assured of eventual godhood and their own stable of goddess sister wives in the next life? How would you react?

I read "Who Really Wrote The Book Of Mormon" and I've wondered if it would be possible to re-construct Solomon Spalding's lost "Manuscript Found" from the "Book of Mormon."
