    pwrfrk got a reaction from DennisTate in A webpage dedicated to LDS research on near death experiences.   
    Oh, ok.  For a minute there I thought it was going to be a website telling about the last time I poked fun at one of my ex-girlfriends cooking.  I think it qualifies.

    I find it annoying how so many countries begin to hate us, then when we leave, they pretty much go to hell (economically), and then they blame the US for that.  That has happened so often in so many countries, that were at one time colonies, doesn't matter if it's  South America, Central America or Africa.  Anywhere, in fact.  I think that says something that everyone should be looking at a bit closer.

    I live in Canada. The weather in some of the cities that I have lived in can kill you. I have lived in cities in which the high for the day was -40 C. Still see kids walking around with unzipped coats. Pick your battles.

    pwrfrk reacted to unixknight in Episode IX Trailer   
    I have no plans to see it in the theater.  If my daughter asks to be taken to it, my wife, @Dollfacekilla has offered.
    Maybe it'll be good.  Maybe.  Problem is Episode 7 only looks good when compared to 8.  It still wan't a great movie, and now here's the same director who made that one back to do it again, only with his vision all screwed up and broken by Rian "Subverting Expectations" Johnson.
    I'd rather watch Episode 1 in an all-day loop than to pay to go see one more Disney Star Wars movie. 
    **SPOILERS**
    As for the trailer... yeah, it's Jedi porn followed by some images and audio that seem to be aimed at going back to the Original Trilogy well yet again.  "Come see it, you older guys!  Look, Billy Dee Williams is back!  Look, we're robbing the Emperor's Grave to convince you that there'll be something worth seeing in this film!  DIDJA NOTICE THE WRECKAGE OF THE DEATH STAR IN THE BACKGROUND???  DON'T YA WANNA KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE?!?!?!?!?!?"
    No, Disney.  I really don't care to know.  Thus far you have not failed to take a steaming dump on just about every single element of the Original Trilogy that you've used to bait me into your garbage Star Wars films.  You killed Han Solo in the most anticlimactic and predictable sci-fantasy death since Kirk got a bridge dropped on him.  You turned Leia into Mary Poppins,  you spaced Ackbar, you turned Lando Calrissian into a robosexual, and you turned the greatest sci-fantasy character of all time into a bitter, crusty old hermit and then killed him in an apparent crowning moment of awesome that turned out to be entirely illusory.  So no, Disney, I'm not the least little bit interested in what you plan to do with the old Death Star, Luke's Voice, Lando or Palpatine.  
    If that really is a hunk of the Death Star, why don't you just take it and cram it where the sun don't shine.

    It's easy to criticize the blindness, foolishness, and outright stupidity (or even evil) of the opposition party. This is all the rage (no pun intended) today, perhaps especially with the left end of the spectrum, but certainly not confined there. Sometimes it's worthwhile to ponder why the opposition mindset arose in the first place. In this case, Republicans and conservatives in general would do well to remember why things like labor unions even exist.

    First, I think when it comes to your girlfriend, there would be a massive outpouring of compassion and concern at her really poor taste in partners.
    Second, when it comes to your excommunication, any reason will suffice.

    I have read every post to this thread and I do not see what I think concerns all of us.  Is this a precursor to homosexuality being permitted in the church?  I don't get how same sex marriage can be ok but same sex sex is not.  Next thing you know they're gonna say that it's time to have women bishops and stake presidents.  I don't know about you guys, but I have a problems with going against the grain of the Holy Bible.  I already sin, that is something I am always working on.  But as a church?  Sorry guys, but same sex marriage is as sick and depraved as homosexuality.  IMO.

    Long story for another time on how or why, but yes a rebaptism is required.  Years ago I removed myself and a few years later decided to return.  So far I'd say since 2004.  Again, long story for another time.  I spoke with the Stake President about this and he is supportive.  I have a few things to do on my end, and there is no time frame yet.
    But with that said, if everything goes through, how many of you would accept an invite to my baptism?  Or would inviting be a waste of time and resources?

    They're important people, Anatess, important people with important things to do. They graciously condescend to make time for the little people, and what do the little people do? Whine that The Important Folks® aren't paying sufficient attention. Like they really need to hear that from the unwashed masses, who are actually being given the privilege of addressing them!
