  1. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS here, also using firefox, If I click somewhere near the top of the page I can tab through the entries with the the tab key on the keyboard. The overlapping is pretty bad though. Haven't tried Chrome yet.
  2. Great video! I think my eye's are wet now.
  3. Verse 26 on pretty much sums up what I was going to reply, only Alma does a better job than I would've.
  4. Goatsuckers (I totally cheated, stole that off of an index of bird species I found with google, is it right? No clue)
  5. Thank you for that blog link.
  6. No, actually I was picking on your wording. At baptism you covenant to keep the commandments of God, so if you believe it's a commandment, than you have covenanted not to do it.
  7. I think a difference is I already have a testimony from the spirit of God, therefore I don't need evidence. I only need to establish plausibility. As long as room remains for plausibility I need not make an argument from evidence. One testament especially for me to that is how many things we have been laughed at in the past, which were rediculous claims to begin with, which have turned up true as archaeology (which is a soft science, there's give and take) has advanced in the new world, and even a few things in the old regarding Nephi's route (the location of bountiful was at first exclaimed to not exist, however candidate sites have since been found). If one were to rely on archaeology to back up scriptural texts, then they would be constantly be bouncing back and forth with their testimony as archaeologist argue and debate their findings. Archaeology is sandy ground indeed for one to stand on. Archaeological finds can be a great supplement to one's faith, but a terrible base.
  8. To be fair, wasn't Quetzalcoatl a major part of Aztec worship (I'm largely ignorant other than I know Quetzalcoatl was a flying serpent and they sacrificed to it, even that I'm not sure of)
  9. Speculation Speculation. Just to be clear, I don't particularly care about which ancient cultures skin tone was predominately what, I have been curious in the past and all of the reading I have done lead me to conclude that we have no clue. I find it an oddity that people so adamantly protest a white depiction. I don't honestly know if one is accurate or not, it's just odd people get so worked up about it.
  10. So you haven't been baptised?
  11. True, but modern day Jews look pretty gosh darn white to me today. Can you demonstrate to me exactly how it is that their skin tone has changed, and why you believe so firmly it was different 2k years ago? (if this is to much of a tangent...)
  12. Right, most in the world don't encourage abstinence from sex until marriage, in fact, many say this is bad. Our teaching makes us mostly peculiar. Most in the world don't teach that divorce should be avoided if at all possible, in fact they seem to lean towards divorce as a great option. Our teaching makes us peculiar. Most in the world don't abstain from alcohol, in fact they tell us a little bit every day is great for us. Our teaching make us peculiar.
  13. It looks like a chain link with a green plus sign in the lower right, it's on the second row 8 buttons from the left. I was going to attach a screenshot, but I can't figure out how lol
  14. I love that movie! okay, enough thread-jacking.
  15. https://www.google.com/ I used the link button.
  16. Ouch, did you just call me dreary and dull? I challenge thee to a duel knave!
  17. Try right clicking the link and clicking copy link address, verbage may vary browser to browser, or just link the article maybe
  18. I agree, the Lord's people are a peculiar people
  19. I liked it more as a "here's a short clip to remind y'all what Easter is about" more than something actually for me. It's a thing to share.
  20. Fwiw, that has always been my understanding. (That it pretty much takes excommunication to clear that covenant out)
  21. Considering the porn industry rakes in more than the top tech companies combined and something like 12% or more of the web is dedicated to it. Yeah, it's a major problem, everywhere.
  22. haha, nice. Didn't see it. I guess because it's not bordered by a black like the other ones.
  23. Perhaps if you go to the distribution center, I've always purchased mine from the lds store, it's linked to my church records, it's never questioned me about my recommend status in any way. I have made purchases with no current recommend quite few times.
  24. I think title says it all, I stumbled on a youtube hit generator post today and was wondering if there's a way to flag posts and or threads, I didn't see a way.
