We all tolerate/metabolize alcohol individually. One woman I knew during the 2 year span I actually DID drink could tolerate alcohol very, very well! I, myself, had 5 long island ice teas (the bartender wanted to cut me off at three but saw no evidence of intoxication and so he relented) in the span of an hour and I had no trace of a hangover the next day! Short answer, yeah, 2 might make you

My wife, TBM that she is, loves the Neon Trees. On her very recent 57th birthday, she requested some of their cd's. I obliged, happily. I like their stuff, too.

Stake Exec Secretary? Stake Clerk? No need to disclose. I just think you gotta be one or the other to surreptitiously grab all that info like you have! It could only be more amazing if you're one of the councilors to the SP or the SP himself! And thanks for sharing! Great stuff!

They come from the link the OP posted in the first post. I have an active LDS login but the particular area this information comes from is not open to me, but I no longer have any leadership calling, so...

Doesn't matter. Whoever it is, Mormons everywhere will nod and agree it's a great inspired choice. L. Tom will be immediately forgotten at that point.

Well, my first attempt, just a moment ago via chat, to have a rational discussion with a TBM was based on what I proposed with the Alma passage. I definitely had agreement on the foundation that knowledge trumps, indeed makes dormant, faith. I proceeded on that foundation with the crumbled foundation of the Book of Abraham. And the TBM told me I need more faith! So, scotslander, I concede!

Understood. It all really depends on the delivery of the message and making sure the premise is clear and agreed upon before using it as a foundation for what follows.

Computer people? Hey, I'm a real person. I just work with computers! ;^) Spaghetti code, yeah. It's never good. Not without a good marinara sauce and Italian sausage... I always enjoy your posts, Beth, and am glad you have the integrity to stand up for yourself. I need some of that...
Forum: Recovery Board

Ah, but you misconstrue. My use of Alma is to define the relationship between faith and knowledge, in the Mormon view. Once that is established, they cannot use the phrase, "Well, you just need more faith" because knowledge, verifiable and irrefutable, always trumps faith. In fact, faith is rendered "dormant" by knowledge. Alma just lays the groundwork from whence you bu

Here's my own opinion. You're entitled to it. ;^) This will plant seeds and probably curtail your experiment, but the seeds will be planted. In missionary parlance, you're called an "investigator". Derail their scripted performance and investigate! Take something like the issue of Blacks and the Priesthood, or Joseph and polygamy, or Book of Mormon anachronisms, or the rock and th

I've mentioned some of this before but will post again, adding a little. When our family moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 1966 I was soon to be 12. Going from Utah to Alabama a few years after the "race riots" was an interesting experience to say the least. Eye opening, in my case. This was the first time I had ever met a person of color. There was one black girl, about my same age, t

I suppose the Adam and Eve story could be interpreted as a "can't know good until you know evil" (disobeying god by eating the fruit) lesson. I can't think of any bible passage that would boil down to a quote like in the BoM. Sorry!

The Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi Chapter 2 11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no

One of my daughters and her little family live in San Marcos. Yeah, that one. The one in all the news reports. They're okay and staying with her in-laws in Marble Falls. They don't know for sure if their house will be there when the flooding subsides.
