W The church seems to strongly disagree that more information is better with regards to their financial information... It is interesting to note that the LDS church is not unique in not being fully transparent with its finances. Other Christian churches also are reticent to disclose all of their fi...

More information is {always} better. One wonders why then the Church kept so much historical information (Joseph’s polygamy, the seer stone etc) from Church members for so long (and only started putting some information out once third parties had let the various cats out of their various bags). One...

It looks like I owe MG 2.0 and apology. I thought I saw a recent comment from Morley also that supports this, but MG is using a church A.I chatbot to get these answers? I didn't realize that. I accused him of leaning on the arm of flesh for answers. Yes, if he were using one of the many browser AIs...

…this is mind-blowing. The day has come that members don't even need to pretend they are learning doctrine , they just need to know it's true and refer to the chatbot if anyone has an issue with that? As with A.I. systems that are used to access information on many other topics and for many other p...

…nor do I blame you for not having learned much in your many decades of church membership. I find you an interesting character, Gadianton. Typically taking a position of ‘knowing’ from a position of superior knowledge and intellect. Looking down on the poor benighted souls who have been duped into ...

Over the years I’ve heard narratives from people that have left the church and they have, in one way or the other, been damaged or hurt. You’ve seen/heard those stories. …saying that people have been damaged or hurt is basically saying nothing. People have been damaged or hurt in every walk of life...

I do have empathy. I've always had empathy for you. As I do for you and others who have lost their belief/faith in the church. I give you the benefit of a doubt that you’re coming from a good place. A place of stability in your personal life where you are happy and fulfilled. Over the years I’ve he...

Earlier you mentioned that I reminded you of your brother.

Believe me, it’s been all to your benefit. I’ve cut you an extraordinary amount of slack because of it, and assigned you the best of motives.

Gee, thanks.

Not sure what all of this is, nor what it means… Ah, the old feigning confusion ploy. …or what precipitated the meltdown. Ah, the old meltdown ploy. I mentioned your deception (or what you call a technicality), and now you’re talking about your defensiveness and road to recovery or something like t...

…the idea that I will cease to exist after death and that nothing mattered in a grand sense is not a comforting thought for me. Does that impact the way you live your life? What is it that you have hope in/for? I came across this organization a while back. You might find it interesting/useful. http...
