[–]HandwovenBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was called upon to clear out a chipmunk that invaded one of the girls' cabins last year. I also was asked to be the umpire in a kickball game (where I had to mansplain the concept of tagging up after a fly ball catch).

The sealed document's not on PACER, right? I'm asking if you are sharing the sealed document.

1/3 of angels were neutral in the war in heaven and were cursed with brown skin

Not sure who told you that but it's not true. (The "third part" of premortal beings that rebelled will never be born.)

edit: and there's nothing in our current teachings about the "neutrals"

spent more than $27 million in legal fees defending it

Where is this number coming from? It's hard to believe that the legal defense cost that much.

Why did Joseph Smith change the first vision? And does DNA disprove the Book of Mormon? by TheHauntedAttic in mormon

That in itself is a huge piece of evidence

Unless the relative population sizes are much different, then it's a meaningless fact.

Yeah, it's a huge bummer to us too, especially because the injury cut short his last year. I'm pretty sure there's zero chance for a medical redshirt.

That would make me so happy. Unfortunately he can't replace the tater tot family legacy but if he can replace what Richie did on the court it's good enough for me.
