It was Packer's talk turned into anti-gay pamphlet and appears to be missing from the church website at present.

Control sex and you control the person, the person's money, etc etc. In the early days the most "faithful" men got the most wives--pretty good motivation.

What's with posting priesthood session talks on the internet? Years ago what went on in priesthood session was a Big Secret and non-priests, especially women, were not allowed to hear about it. Now all girls have to do is google it up? How do priesthood holders maintain their feelings of specialness and superiority? Forum: Recovery Board

Not very complimentary to pigs, who are generally pretty clean.

This is so true. Apparently the Mormonism of today is quite a bit different than what I experienced in the early 70s. They used to teach that the church was a peculiar people, now they do everything just to look like part of the mainstream.
Missionaries who come by my house have NO idea that the church ever excluded blacks or taught that the Lamanites were descended from Jews. I hear they kee Forum: Recovery Board
Makes me wonder what qualifies a person to be "called" as a "Specialist"--surely not the leadership's inner circle, best friends, etc.

Seems to me copies of the Journal of Discourses are getting harder and harder to find. The church seems to be shoving it under the rug, along with McConkie's Mormon Doctrine, revising its own history as fast as it can. Ask a teenage TBM and they don't even know blacks couldn't hold the priesthood. Garments keep shrinking with modern day fashion. So much for BKKKP's "We cannot change; we will Forum: Recovery Board
This is a sad topic. Sad, but true. Imagine the lack of status/self-esteem of an older, never married TBB woman.
The best advice to all women, LDS or not, is trust YOURSELF. Learn to rely on YOURSELF. See yourself for who you really are and not as reflected through the eyes of a man. Forum: Recovery Board

BINGO! Forum: Recovery Board
Wow. So it's all about sex. Get to the celestial kingdom so you can have sex. Satan is miserable because he has no body and can't have sex.
I shouldn't be surprised, though, because Joseph Smith was pretty fixated on sex (as well as other men's wives). Forum: Recovery Board
Exactly, cl2. BKKKP and the GAs are obsessed with sex, and other people's sex lives.
If the power to create offspring is the key, then all unable to have children due to age, infertility, etc, should be refused temple marriage. Forum: Recovery Board
So to go on a mission you have to go through the temple, which entails making lifetime commitments and promises. And it's ok to do this without a testimony? What?! Forum: Recovery Board
What's with BKP's obsession with sex and homosexuality. Sounds like a closet case. Why not worry about feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick, etc? Forum: Recovery Board
