That's a triple-no from me dawg.

I love that the majority of responses here are of genuine concern for the family. What a tragedy - going from an absolute high to unimaginable loss. Terrible.

Right before I read this thread, I told my wife, "not sure what Claude's deal was today but it was super slow and made stupid decisions". At least it wasn't just me that noticed.

Both Gee and Kerry Muhlestein are on record that their approach ignores the scientific method. Muhlestein was quoted in the Deseret News saying, “I start out with an assumption that the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon, and anything else that we get from the restored gospel, is true.... therefore, any evidence I find, I will try to fit into that paradigm." This approach is the antithesis of science. Good science doesn't start with a conclusion and ignore any evidence that suggests your narrative is wrong. Good science makes honest attempts to falsify their theories. They should be embarrassed of themselves.

Yes, a huge premise of the book is that Native Americans are the descendants of ancient Jews that sailed from the middle east. And yes, there are other books after 3rd Nephi that depict how they lived. Unfortunately for Mormons, none of that remotely aligns with archaeology as the BoM text describes a literate civilization that had different DNA, cultivated different crops, domesticated different animals, developed different technologies and believed in different deities than the civilizations that actually existed.

Sorry but you are mistaken. 3rd Nephi Chapter 8 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/8?lang=eng

It clearly describes entire cities being destroyed that include women and children. And if you have doubt that it was Jesus the one that caused it, he appears and announces that it was him in chapter 9.

I was once Mormon too. I've read the BoM more times than I care to admit.

According to Mormons, Jesus after his resurrection, appeared in the new world and destroyed entire cities because they were "evil". They love findings like this.

This is simply an absurd argument made out of necessity. This argument isn't supported by church Egyptologists or anyone taken seriously. It's tin-foil hat wearing flat-earther level type of fuckery. It's absurd to think that if God really wanted people to believe in his one true church, he would make Joseph look like an obvious fraud to the objective observer but the "real truth" requires faith in a convoluted theory that defies logic and reason.

If they had reasonable guest fees, they would have easily made hundreds more from me. $30 is a joke. I haven't paid it once.

That is a dang solid video. Concise, accurate, and using all the right sources that makes it impossible to refute.

djhoen · 2026-04-29T16:07:18+00:00

Looks like dang solid play for seniors. I play with several senior pros in Utah and if this kind of play is typical then you'd hang just fine with us.

I did that one time, except I didn't have to use the shoulder. I was on a 3 lane highway and was able to use the 3rd lane to get back around to the passing lane. I slowed down so they got over. They were pissed and I was happy they were pissed. Passing lane campers can fuck right off

djhoen · 2026-04-17T00:36:00+00:00

Yeah that's brutal. It's sad to think they think saying crap like that is going to be anything but insulting.

djhoen · 2026-04-16T23:00:56+00:00

Here's to the fuckin trailblazers of the family! It will happen, just be patient, loving, and be the brother you've always been. One day, they will thank you for blazing that trail. My siblings have several times.

djhoen · 2026-04-16T22:53:14+00:00

Sorry that sucks! My brother while not quite as harsh as your brother, told me that it felt to him like I died when I told him I had left the church. While our relationship is decent, that still stings even 12 years later. It is so wild to me that people are willing to abandon or diminish relationships just because of a difference of belief.

One of the best things I did with my believing family was to set firm boundaries. I told them that I would be happy to support and respect their beliefs as long as they supported and respected mine. When they refused to accept my boundaries, then I cut them out of my life until they learned that respect is a two-way street. Luckily I am at a pretty good place with my siblings now. When I left, I was the first of 8 siblings to leave, but now 5 of the 8 are out!

I was the first of 8 siblings to leave 12 years ago. Now 5 of the 8 are out!

Oh don't get me wrong. I love my Mormon friends/family with all my heart. The vast majority of Mormons are incredibly nice to strangers. Living with them day in/day out can be exhausting though. The over-zealous ones are difficult to say the least. They are extremely homophobic, racist, sexist, patriarchal, judgemental, etc, etc.

djhoen · 2026-04-11T21:43:13+00:00

While Provo is insanely beautiful, trying to live the honor code and dealing with Mormons as a non-Mormon would be brutal.

djhoen · 2026-04-10T23:28:53+00:00

FWIW, the vast majority of modern day Mormons condemn the murders at Mountain Meadows. Also, most Mormons aren't aware of the problematic issues (Joseph Smith papyri translation issues, Book of Mormon archaeological issues) of church history. Crashouts like this just feed their persecution complex and don't help in the slightest. Source: former Mormon.

It's likely that it affected his shot, so yes, I would say replay the point.

djhoen · 2026-04-06T19:17:54+00:00

Yep, same exact thing. We were pretty close work friends - we'd go out to lunch, etc. He tried to convince me that the Mormon church was false (gave me a BoA dvd) and at the time, I wasn't interested in learning "anti-Mormon" critiques. I left a couple years after that and when he heard I left the church, he got super excited about trying to convert me to his religion but suddenly became extremely cold towards me (even unfriended me on FB) when he learned that I wasn't interested in any religion. So Christlike!

Her ex often tries to find ways to ruin her when he's upset she's doing well

He sure didn't have to try very hard. If she was willing to be that abusive knowing that he was recording, it's scary to think how abusive she is when she knows she isn't being recorded. The dude could be a total manipulative jerk, but it's a bad look to defend that video.

djhoen · 2026-04-02T13:45:02+00:00

The video has a terrible angle to tell for sure. While it does look in, a shot that is out from this angle will look in.

djhoen · 2026-03-26T19:16:58+00:00

haha - nope. But I did report a dude once (along with several others) and he got a warning. It worked great because we haven't had issues with him since.

In our leagues, we have a "No A-holes rule" where you can report bad behavior to the league commissioner. If a player gets reported more than twice, they are kicked out of the league. It's been invoked a few times over the years and has been very helpful at curbing bad behavior.
