Facts don't matter to these people. Reminds me of Jor-El before the High Council of Krypton telling them to evacuate and the planet is about to explode and they won't listen to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEnby9X2zvg#t=1m32s

https://www.nknews.org/2012/11/why-do-people-keep-re-defecting-to-north-korea/ For policymakers in Seoul, an even more disturbing possibility is that these defectors didn’t decide to go back because of threats to their family, but made the decision based on the feeling that they could never get used to life in the South. It has been well known for years that defectors face an array of proble

My condolences for the loss of your friend. Hormone therapy will not "fix" or change sexual orientation and has nothing to do with it. I always hear stories like this on a nice day. Things are getting better -- slowly...

Legal marriage was originally about wealth and property transfer -- not love. Just look at all of the nobles with "Fitz" in their name. In the ancient world, women had no role in public life (Aspasia and Hypatia were exceptions) and men had relationships with other men and married out of duty, not love and still carried on with men -- after resigning as dictator Sulla retired to his vil

I remember when Hurricane Katrina hit. I'm not religious but I was impressed by what a lot of religious groups did for the relief effort. I didn't hear anything about what the Mormons were doing -- until people started to complain.

As a single well educated professional female I can tell you from experience the odds are against this. I once dated a basketball player. I'm 6'3", he was 6'8", I was the same height as he was in Louboutins and I'm not going to mention any names. He was a nice, really good looking guy from a small town. I met his family and relatives. Very romantic. He didn't have the massive ego t

Collective leadership has replaced the Smith/Young style. The role of "Prophet" has become a ceremonial post with a rigid order of succession so no one person can run the show. Remember John Gill (the transplanted historian Nazi Führer) from Star Trek? Imagine what would happen if Tommy Monson suddenly announced that he'd had a "revelation." The lights would go out, the

The first large scale European contact in the Americas in the sixteenth century brought an unforeseen killer to the New World: disease. Estimates vary but by 1600 vast numbers of native Americans fell victim to European diseases (smallpox, plague, etc.) for which they had no immunity -- especially in the Eastern Atlantic coastal region. This lead many early settlers to believe that the New World

Mormonism is so absurd that it's difficult for outsiders to really understand the mind lock that Mormonism has on people. The level of indoctrination and thought control is so high that it's almost impossible to get people to think critically about Mormonism. The Mormon Entity is like a big dam that's starting to crack and slowly but surely people come to see the Entity for what it is. Even in

"Taylor Swift is a massive fraud, and churches have fallen hook, line and sinker for the Devil's bait. The liberal media have promoted Miss Swift as the image of a virgin girl with a good Christian upbringing, which has deceived millions of people.
