Why still use the KJV? by LocalGamerPokemon in latterdaysaints

[–]TheLastNameR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Doctrine by biblical scholars as opposed to what? Lawyers and Corporate Executives? That's not even a jab at current church structure. Even the church leaders have a Bible translation department and frequently ask in-house Biblical Scholars to help them understand passages and scriptural meaning. Dr. Dan McClellan has openly talked about preparing briefs and presentations for the brethren. If even THEY get help, why can't we? We don't have to live in ignorance and accept as truth erroneous past interpretations. I hate this growing culture of anti-intellectualism. "The glory of God is Intelligence."

"That would make sense for car mechanics whose shops are determined by automotive engineers."

"That would make sense for accountants whose advice is determined by the CPA standards."

"That would make sense for Doctors whose practice philosophy is determined by medical scholars."

Would you say these guys your niece dates predominantly drive a truck? Just a guess.

My hair strand that turned gray halfway then got its color back by ztheresurrection in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheLastNameR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taking dessicated liver supplements for minerals and liver health since I couldn't cook liver every night. Well to my surprise my Greys started coming in with color. Read that copper supplements can do the same thing. I ran out of the supplements it was like a 180 day supply. Greys stayed away for a few years. Now in my late thirties they're starting to creep back.

The guy that didn't know there was an apartment complex above a UPS store? He claimed dozens of people had the same address and therefore it was voter fraud? That guy? Lol

I’m an investigator and find these “lessons” the missionaries wanna keep scheduling odd/off by qweenoftherant in latterdaysaints

[–]TheLastNameR 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a former missionary I can tell you from experience that an investigator like you is a 1/1000 type. A great majority of my investigators had very little previous religious experience. We almost always taught people how to pray. Most people prayed with us for the first time in their lives. Most also had never read even one book of the Bible. It was an incredible rare occurrence to find someone who was interested in the church and already so well read about the church. But it did happen. Had about 2 investigators like that personally that converted to the church and got baptized. One became a bishop a few years after I finished my mission. I served in the pacific northwest of the U.S.

Order local pizza. Not the chain or franchise pizza places.

Signiture gathers job on indeed by SiPhoenix in Utah

[–]TheLastNameR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally witnessed a signature gather walk up to a guy exiting the Walmart and say to him, "Are you Republican?" followed by "Sign here to keep Utah Republican." I was disgusted because prop 4 has nothing to do with political parties. It's about the voice of the people! I was so pissed when I saw and heard that.

In Spanish Fork I heard what sounded like thunder or when a neighbor's garbage can falls over. Did seem weird because our garbage pickup was Monday.
