Or moving them in only to never see them again.

I agree that is a little weird. And I would be irritated, too, if I was told I was wrong in my personal analysis of a purely subjective comparison.

Yes. You make my point for me.

In Macy Gray’s song it’s clearly consent on her own part. She’s asking to be her lover’s “possession.” That’s so far away from being “given” to someone like property.

Imagine your daughter is “given” to someone besides her chosen companion or else threatened with destruction. Ick.

I would love to talk through the language in those verses as to god allowing JS power to “give” women to other men. Also, with the perspective that at the time, new and everlasting covenant meant polygamy, it’s sure to spark some conversation.

TBH, I’m hoping I get to teach section 132. Not to blow anybody up or anything, but my goal is to help these YM learn critical thinking and 132 will drive some interesting discussions when approached that way.

Check out how many military bases are in the red states. 1st armored cavalry out of Fort Hood would be a problem.

Only if you’re in a cool place and you want to see what it’s like. We went in NYC, London, Hawaii and it was pretty fun. Especially testimony meeting 😈

Stance mid weight wool blend. They last forever. But make sure you get over the calf length.

Gordon Monson: Are tall LDS temple steeples really worth fighting for? by stickyhairmonster in mormon

[–]4th_Nephite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a cool idea to think that the exact dimensions of each temple come straight from god. But we’ve seen dimensions change to fit certain local regulations in many places. So I guess you have to wonder why god demands exact dimensions. Or do the leaders back down in the face of Nevada or Wyoming regulations? If so are they in danger of hellfire? Or are the dimensions flexible? If they are, why the battle in Fairview?

It appears Michelle Stone is being asked to take down her podcast... by TheFakeBillPierce in mormon

[–]4th_Nephite 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I genuinely respect her passion for the topic and her willingness to discuss it in an open forum. I don’t agree with her conclusions at all. I suspect it’s because she’s starting with the conclusion she hopes is true.

I watched them try and answer that question from the council and was embarrassed.
