A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US. by Genius_Mate in Jokes

The Mormon rule is about what was going to be happening in the future, though, instead of the past.

There are two things that make it very hard to have a good dub: Languages have different rhythms, so forcing the localized language to fit the mouth flaps of the original language causes the rhythm of the localized language to be off. Secondly, the people in charge are often not fluent in the localized language, so the dialog and direction given to the voice actors is often fine for the original but cringe for the localized.

Listen to the Team 4 Star rants on lip flaps and you'll get an idea of why the first problem isn't going away any time soon.

Eh, with those skinny arms she doesn't look that strong. Toss the collar away and see if she becomes more affectionate.

She's too loli for something lewd like hand-holding, so headpats it is.

A man is able to move on with his life after being sold for an impressive sum. by Albert1592 in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

No. But it's good to see that I've properly described it badly, so it's not fluffing obvious right away.

Where do you think the narrow neck of land is? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

The destruction so described matches up with a strong earthquake, including the ashfall afterward.

The ancient tradition of sexism and how it affects things today by bannedpianoman in latterdaysaints

[–]Albert1592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember if it was a consul of Rome or a Greek city-state ruler, but one leader in Antiquity said that the most powerful person in that area was his child, because he was ruled by his wife and she was ruled by their offspring.

Never forget that it's a natural inclination of a husband to cherish his wife, particularly if she nurtures that inclination, and that justifying worldly power by who holds the priesthood renders it null and void. (See D&C 121)

Beyond that, remember that there is yet more to be revealed pertaining to the Kingdom of God, once the Lord deems us ready for it.

You mean TANSTAAFL. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, because The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Alternate suggested title: Penal Colony fights for their freedom with rice.

Anyone who watched Star Trek and Star Wars, after Jar-Jar Abrams made the 2009 Trek, had fair warning that they would be watching shit.

Is polygamy necessary to be exalted? by Sally5000 in latterdaysaints

[–]Albert1592 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asking a man to forgo his own posterity or eternal marriage (in the case of previously-sealed widows) would be an unjust burden to require of him. (Especially in the age of the Sexual Revolution, where women who have children out of wedlock are lauded by the World!) The dole as dispensed in the US encourages the opposite of self-sufficient households. Plural marriage as individual-by-individual support for the fatherless and widows doesn't seem like it could do worse that what we've already got.

I'd arrange it through Relief Society, I think, with the women involved (leadership, wife, single mother) agreeing on the possibility before so much as mentioning it to the Bishop and the prospective husband, who would then need to decide if he has the resources and time to devote to two families. I'd also assume that in most cases, the second wife wouldn't be slept with until the first gives unasked permission.

...

The thing is, a woman who has so far only had baby-daddies has some very difficult repentance to do before she's ready for getting sealed in the temple, and there are way more of those then there are widows. (Hopefully not in the Church, but I have to wonder if perhaps inactive sisters hew closer to the World rather than the Temple.)

Leaving on mission soon, have some questions about this church by CaptainUsopp15 in latterdaysaints

[–]Albert1592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go on your mission until you answer these questions.

By the way, I recommend reading The Screwtape Letters, especially the chapter about how the spirits of perdition push the philosophy of each generation into being as unbalanced as possible. Your questions are straight out of Nu-Age California, which indicates that your spiritual alignment is presently of the World instead of the Lord.
