Re: Elders Oaks, Ballard, and the Sixteen Questions
Are the different accounts of the first vision published on LDS.org? link please. m Regards, MG Funny, that link is good evidence of the church continuing to deceive the members and the general public. Who wrote the essay? The church hides that information. The church also deceptively asserts that ...

Re: Radio Free Mormon: Elder Ballard Blows Up the Church
This book, which while not published by the church itself was written by a faithful member named Steven C. Harper, has the "whiskey whiskey whiskey" quote and reference to the sermon CaliforniaKid cited. Go to page 45 in this link: m I could not find it in the Joseph Smith Papers. Interest...

Re: If Priesthood Blessings work...
Mark 1:40-42 (David Bednar Translation): Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Mormon Jesus, moved with disgust, instead of stretching out His hand and touching and healing him, said to him, “I am scared you ...

Re: The Church to close missions due to reduction in numbers
There is no doubt there are more full-time missionaries serving now than before the age change. But there are not as many more serving as the apostles prophesied there would be. Moreover, the missionaries who are serving are becoming even less effective at winning converts than they were before (and...

Re: How Do Apoolgists Address This One?
I remembered a blog post in 2005 from J. Stapley, who used to run a blog called Splendid Sun way back when. Looks like the blog is gone but the wayback machine has it cached. Check it out here: https://web.archive.org/web/20110719122442/http://www.splendidsun.com/wp/proclamation/

Re: r/exmormon drama
I doubt TBM was trying to be insensitive although it appears that way to outsiders, in particular secular. Mormon teachings are ingrained from a very early age on, and this is one of them. Their beliefs are deeply held and run deep. There was a time I would have said the same thing as a TBM. And a ...

Re: Understanding Elder Oaks
I can understand his reasoning: Once the Soviet Union fell, there needed to be some issue to keep the LDS John Birch animus alive. Shifting their animosity from Commies to homos seemed to do the trick. This makes sense if you buy the argument that Mormons gotta hate on somebody. Wonder why they did...

If they replace him with an African-American lesbian married to a woman, I might consider coming back to church.

Re: "God Picks LDS leaders, And He Never Gets It Wrong." Eyr
Eyring's statement is actually very helpful to the ex-mo cause. How many apologists squirm when confronted with examples of Mormon leaders doing nefarious things? Eyring has just confirmed that God has personally called those individuals to their positions of authority in the church. The question fo...

Re: Monson & Hales will miss Gen. conference.
Why did Mormon Jesus not keep Hales alive at least through General Conference? Odd, that.
