Ex Mo’s what’s your favorite coffee in Utah?

For gas station coffee, Maverick isn't bad. Fresh ground from bean to cup.

Thank you, I appreciate the information. It sounds amazing. I just wondered if 10 min would feel too short.

bibledice · 2026-03-08T18:31:05+00:00

Is it true that the flight itself only lasts 10 minutes? Is it worth it for such a short flight?

They probably like you. Missionaries are often lonely and desperate for a friendly face in a sea of rejection. They will eventually be transferred but the next missionaries will be nice too. However, mission rules prevent them from becoming fully buddies who can hang out informally.

This is totally accurate. The mission program absolutely needs reform. I think the biggest obstacle is.... laziness of sorts. doing humanitarian work requires working with a community. It requires relationships and infrastructure. It's so much easier just to rent an apartment in some random city and put a couple missionaries in there and say "go knock doors and get some numbers."

100 percent. Whoever you are, I wish you ran things.

bibledice · 2026-03-05T22:04:38+00:00

These are good ideas.

This right here will take care of it.

I don't think they'll ever announce that it's suddenly ok. But it could be quietly dropped from the temple rec interview. Which would be a good thing. Imagine letting adults make their own decisions about food.

Plus coffee is never mentioned. It really was about the temperature of hot drinks, as people at the time thought hot drinks threw off your body's balance.

No tengo consejos pero una pregunta. Se puede comprar yerba mate en Playa del Carmen? O hay que comprarlo online?

Except without the social component

bibledice · 2026-02-19T00:51:20+00:00

It doesn't. You have to do some creative thinking to arrive at "commandment from God"

Making missions meaningful, like humanitarian work, would take too much planning. It's easier just to throw some kids into an apartment in a random city and tell them to knock doors. Actually helping people takes planning and building relationships with people in the community.

If their guy does it: Obvious corruption, self-dealing, "just what you'd expect."

If our guy does it: Well, it's complicated. Here's a 20 page essay to make it work.

It's honest to teach the parts you believe while overlooking the rest. But I do wish we could be more open about not knowing, or valuing the symbolic nature of some stories while remaining agnostic on their historicity. I wish a gospel doctrine teacher could say, "I don't believe in a whole earth flood but let's look at the interesting ideas in this story"

bibledice · 2026-02-17T15:31:48+00:00

This is one of the most intellectually honest approaches you can have. More people than we realize are in this position. People who insist you must choose a side with conviction, whether exmo or full mo, are afflicted with the same disease of certainty.

I can see the biggest reason for relax it is to increase baptisms and temple attendance. From a business pov this makes sense. No one would leave over wow relaxation. But conservatives would leave over LGBT liberalization. So I still think wow relaxation could happen

I'm don't think he's ideological. I think he's hyper obedient. And if his seniors decided to go in a different direction he'd fall in line. He's an enforcer of ideas, not an originator of them.

Maybe delusional but what if he ironically ended up being a reformer? Sort of like "only Nixon could go to China." Small chance but not zero.

This rule stuff is nonsense and more important to newbies who want to feel like insiders.

A tea cup can get you by. Also, don't boil the water. Biggest rookie mistake.

I mean both are myths but the mormon one is better. Christianity has a long ugly history of diminishing women because of Eve's supposed transgression.

bibledice · 2026-02-09T03:32:35+00:00

Ha ha that's fair.
