All this aching and moaning about Mormon Culture withdrawals are just as stupid.



I call it navelgazing. Mostly that is what goes on in personal blogs as well, and the Facebook posts my cousin makes. I was off the navelgazing for a while but here I am again. Damn. I'm out.

by the way Smith failed at Zion because it was never really his intent. Zion demands fidelity to God, and Zion cannot be forced as God cannot be forced. I don't see that Smith ever had fidelity to anyone and his building of a kingdom was not inspired.

I do not fault Joseph Smith's inspiration. His name was given to both good and evil. I see the evil as what the Gentiles made of the Restoration and it continues to the present day. We cannot even fault him on poligamy because all we really know is not what Joseph made of it but what Brigham and the Druid hoards from England made of it. Regardless Zion was moot in the frenzy of nearly 200,000 Mormons at its peak before it fractured.

Nocturnal Feline Dude,

Enjoy your retirement. Be under the sky and in the midst of life. Be free without a name or a purpose. Just be.

I'll send you the bill later. :wink:

No can do. The Apocalrock must be acknowledged for the miracle and proof of God that it is. No wink about it.
