The New York Times just published a great article on the use of LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology to map the Mayan ruins in Belize. Truly amazing. The old chestnut used by Mormon apologists might be snatched away by technology, namely that..." we just haven't found the Nephite/Lama...

I'm here solely to read CinePro uncensored. That, coupled with the light moderation, is the right combination. EDIT: I'm sorry...I meant to post under the "Why Are You Here Thread." I don't know how to delete this post now that it has been posted as a topic. But, what the hell...maybe it'...

I agree with the prior post...these guys shouldn't receive accolades, but rather crickets chirping. It was his phony/emotional vocal delivery that bothered me the most. He captured the "if I'm speaking in a hushed voice it will convey the idea that I'm a spiritual giant" way of speaking pe...

Personal responsibility also plays apart in your rant. It is quite easy to lay blame elsewhere but really no one forced you to behave the way you did. Your post is a contradiction.

But to be honest, I was given leadership positions due to my straight-arrow behavior. Again, that's why I'm mad about the whol...

I have come to realize that the leadership are simply flogging their missionaries as hard as they can so that THEY can advance in the giant Mormon multi-level marketing machine. They are all bucking for GA positions. I don't see how this is possible, since there are hundreds of missions, thus hundr...

How do you, a RM, feel about your Mission?: A total, and complete waste of time. I was a rule-keeping sort of missionary, hence I feel cheated and abused by the leadership. I have come to realize that the leadership are simply flogging their missionaries as hard as they can so that THEY can advance ...

I've been banned several times from the MAD Board (various sockpuppets). At the end the only thing keeping me coming back was reading the posts from CinePro. No question...Cinepro.

Take a look at this rendering of the U&T:
