https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope.html I couldn't find ANYTHING on this Catholic Church site. I wonder if a donation was made to The Whore of all the Earth to make it worthwhile for the Pope's handlers to let their Pontiff have a wee little sit down with Russellmania. Another thought: Did Russell ask the Pontiff, "What do you know about the Mormon Church?", followed by (no mat

The link worked fine! No way the Mormon church wins this argument in a world where it won't be viewed as respectful of basic human rights.

Remember Weird Al? An exmo, channeling Weird Al came out with an album spoofing the almighty heck out of solemn Mormon (praised be his name) topics and I encourage all to listen. weirdalma.com So far Not Like Real Egyptian is my favorite. Okay, I lied. Don't Beat It wins hands down!!

And wear a white carnation over your right ear, so I'll know who you are!!! j/k But I wouldn't be kidding if I could have made it! There are going to be some very interesting early supper table groups, with really good folk making wonderfully idle exmormon chatter. I'm getting goosebumps!!!!

No, Orrin Hatch did not pass a law that says manufacturers of useless supplements cannot be sued if they cause harm. The typical bottle of Orrin Hatch-protected cure-all does no harm, along with doing nothing curative. So no harm, no lawsuit. At worst, you might overdose on something that's nominally safe, but I'm certain the labeling provided sufficient warning so that it would serve as a

Now just hold on there, buttercupcansuckit! Why on God's green earth would He, who knows all, select a perv to be the head of His restored Church? Now hear me out on this, cuz I think I'm onto something: I don't think God did call him! I think JS made it all up! And as that meme, with the guy sitting at a card table say, "prove me wrong." I can't understand how come I didn't

Snowowl, that's for the very, very interesting information! We know he's prone to being inspired and now that he's the top dog, numero uno, king-of-the-hill, no one can tell him where to stuff his impressions, as Hinckley and Monson previously enjoyed doing! It's good to be the King!!

On the scale measuring conformity, which you posit measures "over" and "under" conformity, is there a means to identify the point when under-conformity becomes non-conformity? And likewise, doesn't taking "over conformity" beyond a certain point constitute another form of non-conformity? I can see where there has to be some give and take in what constitutes '

That rings a bell! A small town in my mission had it's chapel built in 1928, and dedicated by David O. McKay that same year. When they built the chapel, they also build a nice little two-bedroom cottage, for the missionaries, two pairs of them. During the three months I was there, we tracted out the entire little town twice, as did the other set of missionaries. That's literally eight times

I don't agree. Fornication will no longer be illegal, which simply means unmarried sex is not illegal. But just like the privilege of driving a car, unmarried sex should be taught, tested and regulated!

There is word now that a sort of schism is a forming between two groups of faithful Mormons. The basis of the division is whether or not it is a righteous endeavor to hope for further changes . Apparently some of the faithful believe that hoping for additional changes is a slap in the face of the two godhead members with bodies, while the other faithful segment says that there is nothing wrong

Who ever heard of, or would continence, a Christian church that would not allow parents and siblings to attend a wedding ceremony based on worthiness issues? Jesus Christ fix that first!! (Works with or without a comma!)

Has their been an announcement regarding a penalty or penalties for the use of the word Mormon as an identity? I wonder if there's any chance that elderolddog's 4th story contest entry would come true? I certainly continue say that I grew up Mormon.

Without these tough mission experiences young mormon men wouldn't have the opportunity to prove to themselves how much Jesus the saviour and Elohsquirrel the father, love them. Remember, everything happens for a reason, as part of Elohsquirrel's Master Planned Community.

Is it possible that to be a good mormon GA, the secret that those who pick GAs look for is that a bishop find a way to short change his congregation in a way that preserves the illusion that he really cares for his people, when in fact he remains his own first priority? It would never serve the church to have a GA who put the people ahead of the organization.

When I was unaware of how much the mission experience had changed since I roamed my assigned portion of the field white and ready to harvest, I had nothing bad to say about the experience. But now, on a simple cost v. result basis, missions are disasters! There are definitely better ways to learn a new language. And as for the 'let's get our hooks into the kid' aspect, that, too, is heading
