Philo ....

You are being sought after at RfM. There have been a couple of posts seeking you in the past couple of days. Just thought you might want to know.

I didn't listen to the entire talk, but I gave some kudos to Uchtdorf for even addressing this issue. I think he reads the forums in the DAMU to get the gist of what the exMos' issues are. The irony or hypocracy becomes evident when one considers how one's Church membership is threatened for not bel...

If this is true, it needs to become public. When I saw the check stub for Eyring disclosed on MormonLeaks for $120,000 per year, I immediately questioned this being his complete financial benefit, even with all the extra perks. I would bet there are tax-free (evasion) financial arrangements made for...

Knowing he would be required to give his life ... He didn't "know" this. He wouldn't have tried to get the Nauvoo Legion to rescue him at Carthage, nor would he have shot and killed two of the men who stormed the jail. His death was part of his calling as witness and testator. His death w...

Nightlion, I know that I am really hard on Joseph, and I don't always give him credit where credit is due. I have studied him well, and I believe his negatives were greater overall than his positives. But his positives were very significantly above the mainstream religious thought and understanding....

Which one of the hundreds of Joseph Smith sublime verses about Jesus do you find particularly demonic? Not ABOUT Jesus ..... FROM "Jesus". Try the entire D&C and PoGP. And of course, the "Angel with the flaming sword" commanding Joseph to practice polygamy and polyandry. I'm...

There's actually no use for temples at all. Even assuming, arguendo, that Mormon god requires all the silly ordinances to be done for each and every person who ever lived, the very idea that such ordinances can be done "by proxy" destroys all need for temples. The Prophet could simply go ...

I think Snuffer's "Christ" is a demonic deception, not a delusion brought about through mental illness. I've lost count of how many men over the years believed they were "called & chosen" to take over the Church as the Davidic Servant. In every case, they claimed direct conta...
