Re: The Gold Plates and UFO Photos

Clark, you know that other thread you're in where MrStakhanovite is saying, not in so many words, that Mormon apologists are full of crap? It's a general consensus that in a narrative, you should show, not tell, and I for one appreciate your showing, not telling. For example, your tone policing. I m...

Re: The Gold Plates and UFO Photos

But now that you have been made aware that there are literally millions of people who consider UFOs to be religious and who derive meaning to life, ethical orientation, and so forth from UFO phenomena, I'm sure you'll revise your position and agree that your arbitrary criteria are not in fact a val...

Re: Missionary Numbers Continue To Crash

Holland's numbers never made sense at the time and appeared to be a rather linear interpolation that neglected what caused the surge. This was oft discussed at the time. I suspect Holland just misspoke after seeing a linear extrapolation. Who can read this powerful testimony of Jeffrey R. Holland's...

Re: The Gold Plates and UFO Photos

I don't think UFOs are religious in the sense they give meaning to life, ethical orientation and so forth. The OP is about a religious view of UFOs from people who derive meaning to life, ethical orientation, and so forth from UFOs. The Church of Scientology is a religion in which people seek meani...

Re: Nephi: A can do kinda guy

Here's the gripe I have with this thread: even the most trenchant criticism levied so far doesn't do justice to the rampant idiocy that is the notion---it's not a theory, it's not even an idea---propounded by Mopologists in the OP. Like mighty Nephi, we should delight in plainness. As in, talking pl...

Re: BYU's Police Dept.: Whatever It Needs To Be On A Given D

So the Devil's Advocate reads my OP. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/9/9f/John_Milton.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140511211844 And he says, God is an absentee landlord hey, smartass, you know your little quip paraphrasing Joseph Smith about a fact not being a fact in another circums...

BYU's Police Dept.: Whatever It Needs To Be On A Given Day

As anyone looking at the board and/or current Utah news is aware, board member Consiglieri (under his real name, obviously) recently won a ruling from the Utah Records Committee, finding that BYU's police department is a government agency for the purpose of the Utah Government Records Access and Man...

Re: Disciplinary Hearing Non-Recording Agreement

Surely these judges in Israel would know they were being recorded, though. Their gift of discernment would tell them.

Re: New to the Forum

I had a story idea similar to the OP. In modern day San Francisco, a Hebrew banker is a spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League and has been asking the LDS Church to stop doing baptisms for the dead for Holocaust victims. Rusell M. Nelson sends a hit squad from the Strengthening Church Members com...
