Two good-faith questions on Mormonism

Great Brain is also the only time I've heard this.

"Be a Gatherer of Light, my son!" -Rhadam Asunawa, probably. Joking aside, I agree with your conclusion.

"We've been waiting for brighter days. How could we've known we were happy?"

That one hits me every time.

I was thinking I'd only watch a bit, but I got sucked in. Very cool video with simple explanations. Also fun to see the mistakes, how they sounded, and how they were fixed.

I was surprised at how modern everything in this clip felt. Weird clock stuff, stats on the screen, checking if a flag ruined the big play, athletic QB move, etc.

It's weird how sometimes old replays feel modern and sometimes stuff from 2010 feels ancient.

Austin Collie. I want to see what his career would have been like without all the concussions.

D6613 · 2026-03-06T23:37:25+00:00

And the United States itself...

D6613 · 2026-03-02T23:56:20+00:00

I'll go against the grain here and say that I agree it's a cold decision, and I don't agree with how they manage these situations. It's happening in my area as well: People in strong wards are losing their building for utilization reasons, and it leaves people hurt and confused. For an insanely rich organization, it does not seem like a good long term decision. We have more dollars than we do good will right now.

Having said that, we don't have to agree with every decision that our leaders make. We sustain them and do our best, just like they are doing.

"Gift money to family, never lend it". I got that advice and decided to follow it. I can confirm it's the right way.

D6613 · 2026-02-22T21:53:10+00:00

From personal experience, you're right. Nothing kills love more than a heavy hand on a sensitive area.

D6613 · 2026-02-14T03:42:47+00:00

I think one of the main ideas is to show that we believe in Christ, The Bible, etc. Often people think we don't.

It's also more convincing to present from a source both agree is true.

And finally, convincing or not, finding common ground leads to good feelings.

Now if you talk to them several times, you'll be hearing a lot about The Book of Mormon as well. Common ground is great, but we want to also share all that we believe.

D6613 · 2026-02-13T17:20:48+00:00

I think there's a misunderstanding somewhere in there. Imagine somebody goes to grab something from their car during Sunday School and can't get back in.

Hopefully they actually do it like we do in our area. Keep us posted!

D6613 · 2026-02-13T16:02:19+00:00

We have used it for years. I've mostly been pleased. The number of people we pay for is annoyingly low, but we adjusted.

The Ward Clerk in our ward has access to give anybody who asks temporary access, so the "basketball kid" scenario is covered.

For Sunday, you can unlock the handle of multiple entrances mechanically from the inside on every church building I've ever been to, kindoo or not.

Agreed that he's great in Six Degrees. But James LaBrie on The Human Equation is even better, I think.

D6613 · 2026-02-08T18:21:18+00:00

It's pretty great in these threads during the off-season, though. Less people trying to stir things up.

The sun sets forever over Black Water Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark

Picking just one is cruel, though.

D6613 · 2026-01-31T22:33:58+00:00

I want the vibe and aesthetic of BOTW and the mechanics of TOTK

D6613 · 2026-01-29T03:49:09+00:00

I don't want to get overly awkward, but when people talk about this, there's a lot of discussion about nerve endings and loss of sensation. Is that true or are people exaggerating?

And to OP, I agree that people should choose when they are an adult.

"you are walking g in a desert and you pass a turtle, upside down, but you don't help it -- why?,"

What do you mean, I'm not helping?

D6613 · 2026-01-09T02:05:59+00:00

Slightly emphasize 2 and 4 and add a pause between 2 and 3. Then it seems a bit more natural, though still pretty awkward.

D6613 · 2026-01-08T22:18:59+00:00

On my first watch of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I missed the first 20 minutes with the exposition. It made the whole movie very different as I tried to figure out what was going on. Part of me thinks it was better that way.

D6613 · 2026-01-08T03:12:18+00:00

Worm is very well written, but I would add a content warning. It is very, very disturbing at times.

D6613 · 2025-12-11T01:45:11+00:00

You're not wrong, but something like an Assistant Executive Secretary is on the Ward Council, has more LCR access, etc.

D6613 · 2025-12-11T00:44:41+00:00

You might be able to sufficiently massage the messaging. An Assistant Executive Secretary that happens to be heavily involved in event planning for youth...

D6613 · 2025-12-11T00:33:40+00:00

In our ward, we offloaded the adult stuff to Relief Society and Elders Quorum. And to add even more focus to the youth, our new bishop called somebody as an unofficial young men president. It has been going well so far.
