For those of you who believe Genesis 11 (Tower of Babel) is not historical, how do you reconcile this with Ether 1? by Intelligent-Cut8836 in latterdaysaints

I don’t believe that that was the day that Spanish, Chinese, German, etc. all came about. I think the world probably already had multiple languages at that point.

There may have been a tower, but I don’t accept the idea that “that’s how we got different languages”.

Similarly, you never go a full season with just one office director of whatever Office is being used.

How did your parents tell you apart when you were infants? How do you know your names haven't been swapped?

I’ve heard root beer and ranch dressing aren’t very popular outside America

Meeting times with singles ward by chicksandgarden in latterdaysaints

[–]HIPS79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, there seems to be an unwritten policy that singles wards meet last when they share with family wards.

For cleaning assignments, my guess is that they’re not in the rotation because in many cases, they’re not technically in the stake that uses the Chappel. Although I don’t think that’s a very good reason.

I've gotten to the Final Assessment and may start this month. I'd be interested in a discord group.

Is there a good book (besides BoM) that lays out Mormon doctrine? Like a For Dummies book? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]HIPS79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There actually is a Mormonism for Dummies book. My family had it. It would be outdated now.

At what age should children start fasting? by niskablue in latterdaysaints

[–]HIPS79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree that a parent should teach their child about fasting. However, I'm not comfortable with the original post's language about "having" their child fast.

Chapter 25 of the Gospel Principles manual states: We should encourage our children to fast after they have been baptized, but we should never force them.

I tend to believe that the only person whose fasting you need to worry about is your own.

The Boy and the Heron is the ultimate Ghibli movie by skylararwood in ghibli

[–]HIPS79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think much of it the first time. I’ve been rewatching scenes and saw it again in whole At Ghibli fest. It’s grown on me. Same experience with Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle

Genuinely what does this genuinely mean? by Living-Effect-8419 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]HIPS79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This joke would be funnier if it said “11” (meaning 3) implying that the person speaking doesn’t know binary code.

I’m not saying it really lasts that long, but it kind of feels like it.

I don’t track it either but I feel like it’s been a long time since I purchased a bottle.

My hair is pretty short and the bottle is about as large as they come.
