In your previous thread, I mentioned some facebook drama...the friends-of-the-family that were involved in that drama actually called us and asked to get together so they could appologize for over-reacting. One of the things the wife of the couple said *really* helps understand why LDS react so strongly (the following is my paraphrase of what she said): "The church is so much a part of

I said: Tired of hearing "mormons are Christian because Christ is in the name of our church"...does that mean you also worship saints? What about worshiping latter days? Or even just worshiping days, for that matter? Every mormon that read it assumed I was saying "I'm tired of hearing mormons say they're Christian" (which *is* true, but NOT what I was sayin

..."the atonement" in Kobology is kind of like having a buddy when you're climbing a tall fence. You do the work to get most of the way up, and your buddy pushes you over the top. Get a tall enough fence and you can't do it without the buddy. (Except that original-god - you know: god's god's god's god's god - somehow did) Or...in terms of "washed clean" like clothing...

I was just reading and catching up on what I missed over the holiday when I saw the comment "Gnat-straining should be a state sport"...and I wondered what other "events" could be held here? "Mote plucking" would be one (in which the participants wear "I'm blind" contact lenses ... and remove them from other participants. First person to see anything win

once the ability to tap into the "quantum foam" is actualized, a LOT of "Scientific" assumptions (quoted because the assumers are rather closed-minded about "free energy") will be abandoned, and we will have a paradigm shift.

I *love* seeing them...there's even "Pelican Bay" (I think it's just off I-215) Whenever I see them, I laugh...it's God making fun of mormons for me.

I go to an Evangelical Free church ... we have had Starbucks in the sanctuary on many an occasion. Too many, in fact. When new carpet got installed, they also passed an edict: "No food or drink on the new carpet" Still...I often run the computer that projects lyrics and scriptures, and records the sermon...sometimes I'll still bring my coffee in for that.

I mentioned this a few years ago...but I haven't had the opportunity (or desire, really) to check this in reality - but when I imagine the placement of those symbols during the "Five points of fellowship"...it seems to me that they form an inverted pentagram (even with the elongated downward point!) Can anyone shoot that down or confirm it?

What if it's "for our own good"? We all know what happens when ego runs wild...if you're not sure what I'm talking about, check out the history of dictators...or just stories of bishops here on the board. What if "worship God" is to remind us "Hey - you're not the big kid on the block. Treat your fellow man with respect!"?
