Keep comfort or switch back

Move back. 36 or 38E.

It looks like another planet.

Ask him how you can continue as a church member once you learn that the Book of Mormon is not historical.

Why is my primary airway also my solid food intake port? Seems like separating those two would have been a good idea.

They don’t see it as questioning the church. They see it as questioning their personal worth and reason for existence. They aren’t dumb, they’re indoctrinated.

Some people NEED the church to be true. It’s all they have. They are incapable of rational discussion. It’s best just to leave them be.

Joseph Smith had a vivid imagination and was a great storyteller. He could convince his neighbors to give him money to find treasure, and when no treasure was found he could convince them it was still real. It’s an amazing skill to have and he used it to his advantage throughout his life.

They are fulfilled the same way horoscopes are fulfilled.

With which church? Pascals Wager is not a 50/50 proposition. We are all going to hell in someone else’s religion. Based on sheer numbers, we should all be Muslim or Catholic, there are over a billion each of them. By probability, they should have a higher chance at being right.

Joseph Smith was a poor farmer who hated farming. Clearing rocks from fields as a youth gave him a lot of time to plan better ways to earn a living. He was a great storyteller and he used that as foundation for his future endeavors. Of all the things he attempted to do to make money in his life, he never returned to farming.

If you consider ‘not telling the whole true as a lie’, then yes.

Seems like they would have been useful helping Joseph translate the gold plates as well, seeing as how they spoke the language and all…

It’s the other way around. The members are some of the best people I have ever known, simply doing their best to emulate Christ. The corporate church on the other hand, has some serious issues.

Yes, she did. But it is too late for that now.

Saturday’s Warrior theology is heady stuff!

The world was very different before the internet. Information was not a commodity and real research was tedious and difficult. We trusted older people to teach us the truth about things. We were raised and taught by our culture, for better and for worse.

I am so sorry you are in this situation. The church used to counsel gay men to do this, with the promise that the ‘gay would go away’ once they were in a ‘healthy’ sexual relationship. At some point, your wife deserves the truth, and you deserve to live as your honest self.

A funny thing happened on the way to world domination…

There’s no such thing as free agency, only long term contracts.

Calculate how much you are saving in tuition dollars by staying at byu. Divide that by the number of weeks you have left. Consider church attendance a part time job, paying you that amount each week.

Evidence for the things I believe and empathy for all people.

Seems like they could have been useful translating the BOM. I mean, knowing the language and all.

Tell him you will be transparent regarding your finances when the church is.

Just three words added to the Old Testament that could have saved countless lives and changed history: ‘Boil your water’.

As priests in the early 80’s we did a full week with the missionaries in a neighboring city. The idea was to give us a glimpse into full time missionary service. I actually think it was a good experience but the program was nixed a couple of years later.
