Re: Why did Nephi not write on scrolls, papyri etc.
"Scrolls disintegrate unless something extraordinary is done to preserve them; metal doesn't." Metal disintegrates and degrades depending on what type it is. Gold last. Platinum lasts. Iron, steel and many others disintegrate and disapper completely. This explains the lack of all the fine ...

Actively teaching lying?
A few problems have come up recently(or I have just noticed them) that have me a bit frustrated. Seems our Fearless Leadership condones actively lying, breaking the law and sees nothing wrong with it. My wife refused to teach a primary lesson that glorified lying to law enforcement when the Church l...

Re: President Joseph Smith, Jr. was a Con Man (True or False)
Mr. Osborne wrote: "Joseph Smith was anything but a liar. He couldn't stand lies. It was against his nature. Everything I've read that Joseph has written is testimony to me that he was an honest and upright man." An honest man does not layer coins on the top of chests filled with sand, lea...

Re: LDS Leaders as Business Leaders
Religious leaders as business leaders is a cash drain on a business to support their lifestyle. More honest is the evanglical tent revival huckster who throws the money collected into the air saying 'God can take what he wants and what falls to the ground if his gift to me.' Preach repentance, faith...

Follow your Leaders even when they are wrong
and you will be blessed. Did not work for Hitlers crowd and it won't work now. No matter what member of the Chosen Twelve repeats this BS, it still does not hold water. Why are we given intelligence and the ability to choose right from wrong and are still taught bilge water crap like this other than...

Re: Utah Court Dismisses Most Claims Against LDS Church
Any LDS leader who works with kids against the stated wishes of the parents should be taken to task over it. Teaching respect for parents while ignoring their stated wishes is dishonest. Almost as stupid as thinking all has to be written down because maybe God can't remember what we have done here o...

Re: Why no concubines today?
Apostle Abraham H. Cannon noted in his 5 April 1894 diary that both George Q. Cannon and Wilford Woodruff approved of such arrangements. “I believe in concubinage,” George Q. is recorded as saying, “or some plan whereby men and women can live together under sacred ordinances and vows until they can ...

Re: Joseph and Fanny-Asking for Will's Opinion in Particular
The current Joseph Smith manual for Sunday School says Joseph had the plural marriage revelation as early as 1831. Could be he used it for Fanny first. Or, could be he made her a concubine as Old Testament prophets did before him, later elevating her to the status of wife. It is Biblical... if prett...

Why no concubines today?
Doctrine and Covenants Section 132: 38: 38 David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me. ======...
