When you are the one in charge of writing the history, you can spin it however you want it to sound.

Re: Shorter Conference

I think the primary reason is all of the apostles, who have to preside and talk at all of these conference sessions, are really old. I would also venture to say that scope creep is a factor as well. Each of the Q15 feel they need to have a chance to speak on what is on their mind at a given time ...

Shorter Conference

LDSinc. will no longer hold Saturday evening General Conference sessions.

Wonder what the cost-benefit analysis was that convinced them to drop that one.

Re: What's going on with Marjorie Taylor-Greene?

MTG is representing Georgia. Georgia has a history of being a swing state. It is close to evenly divided, so it goes back and forth. My initial reaction is that the state is likely getting some buyer's remorse for their candidate choices lately. The economy of the state is slowing. They just had one ...

Re: Pornography and the eye of the beholder

So penises are evil, but a woman's breast is perfectly fine? Man, there is some weird sexism with their definition of pornography.


Insert a reference to the movie ZARDOZ here...

Re: Where's the beef (artifacts)?!

I find it interesting that we found the site of Troy, the city from the Homer's The Illiad . We don't know if there really was a giant wooden horse, but we know where the city was. For the BOM, a book supposed not even as old as The Illiand , we sure don't have any evidence of anything that it ...

Re: Founding Fathers

The funny thing about this story is that, unbeknownst to Pres. Woodruff, the work for the Founding Fathers had already been done. I vaguely remember the story, but I thought it was someone in Kirkland (maybe Navoo?) that felt the spirit on them and then did the work for the founding fathers? I am ...

Re: October 2025 Conference: Another Snoozefest

I wonder what the time line is for putting talks together for conference. I imagine they have to be written and submitted ahead of time to allow for review and translation. It is highly likely that when talks were actually written was weeks ago, well before any events currently in the news. While it ...

DW and I made up some excuses and canceled our weekly dinner with my TBM parents when we heard this. We really are not in the mood right now to listen to their sucking up to someone who actively hated what their oldest child is.

Assuming this is true, this will really feed into the Mormon persecution complex. They would love this sort of thing to be true. DHO will likely have a field day with that.

Re: Keeping up with Trump

I also found it bewildering that MAGA people were irate about supposed anti-fascist engravings on Robinson's bullet casings. Interesting that considered a personal insult. It is worth nothing that the "anti-fascist" messages engraved on un-fired bullet casings has been found to be a hoax. The WSJ ...

Re: Biggest changes in the church in your lifetime

I think one of the biggest changes to the LDS church is how the common public view the church. It has had two major shifts in my lifetime. 1980's to mid 1990's: LDS church is some backwoods polygamy cult that just isn't that common outside of Utah. Members are strange, but harmless. Mid 1990's to ...

The challenge is that both red and blue camps believe it's the other side that's lying. I think herein lies the biggest problem. Each side lies and lies a LOT. Bill Clinton claimed he did not have sexual relations with that woman. G. W. Bush claimed that there were large amount of WMDs in Iraq ...

Re: What happened to deism?

Deism always struck me as atheism for an era when atheism was not socially acceptable. It is as close as you can get to not believing in a god as you can get without not believing. In time not long after the Salem witch trials, not believing in a god could have messy consequences. Today, now that ...
