The church is too big to be run by the Q15. Those guys should be mascots beholden to middle managers. Leave the due diligence to a team of hundreds, who hand off their orders to their “thus sayeth the Lord” sock puppets. All it takes is for a few old guys at the top who’ve stood in line to the throne for most of their lives to buy in. But then, it’s good to be king.

That’s a good point. Mormons are of the world whether they like it or not. But is Mormonism good for people? I think it could be, but not the way it is now. Not with its current management structure. Mysticism was the value proposition, and with mainstreaming there’s nothing special to justify the busy work. But who am I kidding? They will never build their Zion because they can’t. They�

But America is a land where willful stupidity is enshrined in law. It’s called religious freedom. I know people who won’t get the shot. They consider it a death sentence. Those kinds will never be vaccinated without being arrested and held down by a team of orderlies. Doing that with 100 million people isn’t very practical even if the government could get away with it.

Try to get a UV camera. Its optics are made from UV quartz, not regular glass which would block short ultraviolet. Besides ghost hunting, you can get interesting nature shots and see what animals with UV receptors see.

I’m being lazy today, so can you help me compile a list of people that God’s holy scriptures has put a contract on? For example, adulterers are to be put to death. What others? Not that I’m looking for a new hobby.

If only they had Jesus taken up in a spaceship. It is curious that the church is canceling the Hill Cumorah pageant. They announced the cancellation even before Covid. I think the tide has turned in church leadership. They know it’s fiction so what’s the point of doing it? I think the top brass has already had its faith crisis. Like with the rest of us, it will take maybe 10 years to co

I was looking at ants the other day. The Earth has way more ants than humans, even by weight. We humans are just squatters on their turf. Whatever survives us, I can always come back as that. Can you really have too much optimism? Imagine having the option of being a slime mold instead of a Mormon. See? There is hope.

After our unceremonious exits from Afghanistan and Iraq, the trillions down a rat hole, I have doubts about any “one world order” unless it’s China in 2050. It would have been so much cheaper to outsource US national security to the PLA the way we did our economy, but of course the defense contractors are better connected.

The fact that the country is awash in guns gives me hope that the rich will move heaven and earth to keep them from being used in a complete social breakdown. That’s assuming that their secure archipelago would have a hard time getting by without the rest of us. Seeing how Mexico works I wouldn’t be too sure.

Nobody can give you the love you refuse to give yourself. They can try, but you saw how that works. Anyway, you are free now. Good for you. I am free too, perhaps thanks to my Mormon identity collapsing like a Surfside condo, but I think thanks to the broken people who taught me what love wasn’t.

If the revelation came from Nelson or Oaks, absolutely. Look at how fast everyone ditched the “Mormon” name after it was revealed that it makes Jesus sad. Mormonism needs a schtick. Polygamy might just be it.
