  1. It is possible that there was a world wide human civilization on earth that was destroyed by the Younger Dryas Meteor impact of 10,900 B.C.
  2. Wait, Flake is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? That is a real surprise to me with how wishy-washy he was on Kavenaugh.
  3. If you base your testimony on the people in the church you will never come to church. Focus on your relationship with God and Jesus and let the idiots be idiots.
  4. If you want to suspect your leaders, then feel free to ask that you sit in on every interview. That way your child will never be able to open up and discuss private matters in order to repent. I will not be going down that path, thank you very much.
  5. I could see the church eventually allowing 360 cameras in the chapel so you could attend when you are sick or unable to leave your home. Throw on some Virtual goggles and it is almost like you are there.
  6. It is disappointing that so many are being deceived into thinking there is something inappropriate in the interviews by Bishops and Branch Presidents. Why do so many assume that all priesthood leaders are potential deviants? If you suspect every man of evil you will reach a point where you will begin accusing everyone and you will lose the Spirit and be consumed by the world. I think President Uchtdorf said it best,
  7. I think you may be overthinking it. Keep the old tried and true hymns like this and remove overly solemn hymns like ’Twas Witnessed in the Morning Sky. Also, if you are concerned about misunderstanding, then "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet" needs to go. There are still people who think it is about how the prophet is the "bounteous hand" sung of in the hymn. "We'll sing of his goodness and mercy" is not about the prophet's goodness and mercy, it is about the Lord's goodness and mercy. I have come to dislike this hymn as I have realized how misleading it is.
  8. What I see in the painting as a celestial woman giving a mortal woman a baby spirit. If that is not the intended message then I guess I just missed the point.
  9. It is possible to get so bent out of shape about our potential Celestial reward that we miss the point that we are to Love the Lord our God with all our heart and love our neighbors as ourselves. It reminds me of this incident in the life of Christ. "Luke 22 24 ¶ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
  10. Don't misunderstand my comment, but this is not accurate in a doctrinal sense. Our spirits are not in baby form before birth they look like adults.
  11. Libertarians believe that “income tax” is theft. The Federal Government should not have the power to tax people. That is for States and cities to decide.
  12. Meh, political humor is kind of sad
  13. It is a sandbox level filled with roller coasters and pony rides, duh.
  14. Begin studying Robotics and coding and you should be fine.
  15. Mormon. Without him it would not exist.
  16. By people that tend to not respect the truth of a republic.
  17. It often seems that there is a serious problem with members being obsessed with the sport programs of BYU. It even reaches the point of persecution and mockery.
  18. Is it time for the Church to stop direct support of the BYU schools?
  19. Another example of why people should not vote for Progressives.
  20. There are tools and ways to keep ourselves and our families un-spotted from the evil around us.
  21. It really comes down to whether you believe the prophets and the doctrine or if you are going to go on overthinking reality with silly theories. It is also a matter of opinion when it comes to a theory like this.
