You do realize that this is the very definition of Protestantism.

Actually, considering the Catholic policy of elevating tradition to the level of scripture, I think you have that backwards.

I know that Mainstream Mormonism ignores a lot of their very own Scripture.

I have spoken to a number of LDS about this, and they say that it is due to "Further Revelation." First African Americans couldn't be members, then they could, but they couldn't be "priests." Then they could, etc....

We ASSUME he(?) is a CAtholic.

Last time I checked I was 100% USDA approved male. I have been a Catholic for most of my life. There was a short period when I was a protestant, but reverted back to the Catholic Church by the grace of God and a through reading of the Scriptures.

Perhaps he's a closet MORMON; out to draw attention away from LDS heresies...

The only thing is my closet is clothing.

Do you consider EDITING to be the same as Sc ripting?

I against those krazy keyboard commandos that say homeschooling is the only way, and that EVERY public school teacher is a communist.

I agree with you.


I'm against those rabid keyboard commandos that say Catholicism is the only way, and that EVERY PROTESTant teacher is a HERETIC from HELL.

No. The producers create and instigate certain things to get reactions. The last thing they want is for it to be unscripted, because that would tend to be boring.

Perhaps the 'husband' has special, uh, 'qualities' that would tend to get the attention of the better looking ones.

(Just sayin'...)

It’s a very little known tidbit of history; but it’s been told that Brigham Young went through 7 seeing eye dogs in his lifetime.

The problem with that 'explanation', is that it makes no sense.

There was NO 'revelation' from their GOD to stop polygamy; and there has been NO 'revelation' from their GOD to modify the Word of Wisdom.

Their Second Living Prophet® warned them about the first.

I do not know if there was been any warning about the second or not.

Where is the “unsee” button?

This aught to do the trick. Chug a couple dozen or so of these ... and presto! Don't forget to repeat as necessary.

Come on guy ... you know full well that this is not the reason why Brigham's mansion was called a dog pound!

That is only one on my list of LDS beliefs that make no sense.

When I lived in Central NY we used to get quite a few coming door to door. Several challenged me to read their scriptures and "Doctrines and Covenants." So more years ago than I care to recall I sat down with the BOM and read it cover to cover. I put a post it tab on every historical error and contradiction I found.

The next group that came around I asked them about the errors. No explanation was forth coming. They were very polite, but could not defend their beliefs.

Nothing has changed!

They've all but vanished from FR's religion pages. I ping a few that were active; but they've apparently lost the taste for crow.

FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE:


1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks from time to time, cleans up, and has a job.

2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh.

3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust, and doesn't lie to you.

4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed, and likes to be with you.

5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other or you could end up dead like me.
