    I get what you are saying, but I think sometimes people have this idea of a perfect soul mate that they will forever live in bliss with and that is a fairytale. One that if pursued, and marriage endlessly delayed in pursuit of, is going to end in a lot more unhappiness than if you had married that not quite perfect girl 10 years ago and grew together in your marriage.

    So... Who likes waffles? I love Belgian waffles, with peanut butter spread on top and maple syrup.

    If she let her children die I might call her stupid for not taking advantage of the many charities and government welfare put into place to keep her from having to break the law in order to prevent starvation. In other words, what you presented is a false dichotomy.

    Fabulous Fanatic Samurai's!

    What do you want us to do CaleB, have a forum conference where we all shake our fingers of scorn at her? I can see how maybe in the heat of the moment, I have hairspray and I see match, I might opt for that as a monstrosity was about to escape my trap. So I have more experience than her, and visions of a flaming rodent running across the carpet would stop that thought before it had time to form. But it's pretty dang clear that she didn't torch an animal because she's some sadistic sicko. Get a firm grip on reality and wake up.

    If it's any consolation, if I'm in the normal editing mode, it's spotty on reading my blank spaces. That's why you sometimes will see no return or three returns after a quote I do because I'm trying to get a dang blank line under it. I found if I switch to the mode that shows BBC code (looks like a light switch, top left of editing window) everything behaves like it should.

    Good things Mormons don't smoke. Too many strawmen in one thread are a real fire hazard.

    I'm not sure it even needed further context, at least I felt it didn't. Brigham Young stated several times it would one day be lifted. I felt it was clear McConkie was talking about all the reasoning they applied to the ban.

    I fail to see how the statement made in 1949 contradicts current revelation, so why do you discard it? Can you explain how the statement that the priesthood ban was a commandment straight from God contradicts any modern revelation.

    Was the first presidency then intentionally misleading in 1949? Law of Consecration is not in affect? Why am I covenanted to live it?

    So you are saying in 1977 it was doctrine, but in 1978 it was not. Why can something not be both doctrine and policy?

    I am not convinced the terms are mutually exclusive. I am convinced that we all have our unique idea's of what exactly doctrine and policy are and these unique idea's are muddying the waters. In a loose sense doctrine really just means a teaching, or what is taught. But that is certainly not how we mean it. I would suggest doctrine means the Doctrine of Christ, it's the foundational message of Christ. The teachings we need to be saved and nothing more. In 3rd Nephi 11:37-40: Another idea I've seen floated around is that doctrine must be found in the standard works, I would suggest that for a living prophets words to be considered doctrine in this sense we must canonize his words for them to become doctrine.

    Weren't violins the "devils" music at one point in time? I think generations just like to knock their successors a notch or two down to make themselves feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
  15. jerome1232
    Did it not? What was the first and greatest commandment? To love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind. The second? To love thy neighbor as thyself. I think the second one counts in that regard. Recall the ten commandments was a lesser law. It's not a list of most important.

    I knew I got the wrong cat, I kept trying to think of the one that lives in S. America and couldn't, so I fired blindly. I guess being at a computer I could've searched real quick.

    You are correct, and going by the past of this thread we shall now argue about various definitions of ridiculous
  18. jerome1232
    If anyone believes all artistic depictions need to be 100% historically accurate.... What's next, are we going to complain about Jesus' skin color in our depictions? Are we sure the clothing is historically accurate? The sandals are correct? What about the nephite / lamanite depictions!? I've seen Nephi wearing a leopard skin in one picture, does that constitute official endorsement of a location for BoM events? For the love of poo throwing monkeys come on! Don't be ridiculous.

    Carriage return. Giggles. Old.

    This isn't a scientific debate. This is a statement from a prophet. Now I don't know if it was just his opinion (likely) or not. But all the evidence he needs provide is that it was revealed from God.
  21. jerome1232
    Yet not one person get's hung up that the Tribe of Levi was the only tribe with the priesthood. Odd that.

    I must say seems counter-intuitive, it would be nice if there was a small arrow or ellipses or something to indicate that things can be done there. *cough* *cough*

    Truth be told I am a gum drop. I was, however, never one of Pam's buttons.

    Well, FunkyTown does hog the popcorn. So I feel fine laying the blame on FunkyTown.

    He already said yes...
