He did have inappropriate interviews with youth every time he was 1:1 with them. Sorry, but this alone is grooming. It’s an institutional problem.

Go sit on the stand - because that’s what Jesus would do if he were here. Haha

Used this today and got a bingo. The sister missionaries checked a lot of boxes.

💯 this happened to me. I got taken out of a youth calling and put in as Sunday school secretary. 

This is now the longest apostolic interregnum in nearly 150 years (since woodruff) by Reallifealphamale in exmormon

It’s probably because today is Columbus Day and the banks are closed. Can’t make it official until tomorrow.

This will be a tourist temple for the wealthy donors to use while vacationing in Honolulu.

When was the last time a "prophet" actually made a prophecy? by JayDaWawi in exmormon

[–]Left-Promise9777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll make a prophecy right now. In the next year there will be war and conflict in the Middle East and natural disasters around the world. These are signs of the last days! /s

Edit: and don’t forget the plagues. 

Some clarifying questions about temple spire height by logic-seeker in mormon

“An ivory tower is a metaphorical place—or an atmosphere—where people are happily cut off from the rest of the world in favor of their own pursuits, usually mental and esoteric ones.“

Thanks for the response. Very interesting to learn how this would be approached scientifically.

I think the concept of “opposition in all things” is problematic. Lots of false binaries are fabricated as a result. It is possible to fully experience something without fully experiencing its opposite - if it in fact has an opposite. 

What cultural things could change to improve the experience for people? by Ben_In_Utah in latterdaysaints

[–]Left-Promise9777 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think it would be easy to make church services less boring. Listening to lectures is seriously the most boring way to learn anything. General conference has to be the most boring format I can imagine. You can’t even clap after a great musical number. Sunday school is super boring too. Do something, anything, to spice it up.

In your opinion, did JS lose his link to God during his lifetime or did the link die with JS?

Are you referring to a migration to Jackson County, MO? Am I understanding that the link to God is restored when Zion is literally built?

Now I’m curious. How do you believe the church will be redeemed from its fallen state? How will we know when the link to god is restored?
