How could one describe Marjorie Taylor Greene without using emphatic adjectives?

Re: Even the very elect - Church photoshops ExMormon actor from temple movie

This kind of rushed photoshop job to cut him out of the film has a very Scientology vibe. A strong healthy religion would be able to deal with a slightly uncomfortable situation like this, or at least wait to reshoot the movie. https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/1cew95s/meet_the_new_temple_...

Re: Trump and Joseph Smith as King

If Trump loses in November to Biden, perhaps Trump can pivot and turn the MAGA movement into a new American religion. It is already ecumenical with Evangelicals and Mormon Saints. For Evangelicals, he is the Messiah and for Mormons, he is the one mighty and strong. If Trump does win it can become t...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

Cleon Skousen traces the ideology of the illuminati, and I kid you not, boys, to a single text you've all at least heard of: Plato's Republic. What about draining your precious bodily fluids? Shouldn't that be a test for your Skousen bona fides? The Supreme Court turning an enraged Trump loose with...

And how did Trump get into the topic?
My guess is as an aberration of the American experience.

Re: 33 years with new questions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Parish_Lovejoy Lovejoy may have been martyred over the abolition of slavery, but Joseph was martyred over the cause of keeping Mormon polygamy a deep dark sacred secret lest his followers find out. The twin vestiges of barbarism had its victims. Once they were i...

Re: 33 years with new questions

I don't think those in Nauvoo could say a public nuisance outweighed freedom of the press. Nauvoo was allowed to obtain a charter as long as they passed no laws that violated the laws of the State of Illinois or of the United States. Abraham Lincoln voted to approve the charter. What about the Morm...

Re: Trump and Joseph Smith as King

Makes me wonder whether Trump demanded to be appointed Emperor of the Earth and his disloyal White House staff talked him out of it.

Were there any jewelers in Nauvoo who could fashion a crown?

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

The idea of a democracy has seemed to fall out of favor with American right-wing ideology. That is why they clamor for Viktor Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and Putin. Had Bolsonaro diverted Brazilian revenues to buy a new luxury motor home for Supreme Court usage, perhaps he would get the nod as the next...

Re: The Loading Speed of the Site:

Right now there is Brett Ripley, myself, and 238 guests online. How many of these guests are operatives of the Strengthening the Membership Committee? Does this popularity have anything to do with speed?

The NOM site keeps going down. Are they victims of the notorious Defending the Faith Attacks?
