I wish this would get interesting but alas I doubt it will.

If it did we could get into whether Jesus is a god and if so why was he stuck back here on Earth with his dad instead of getting his planet o’ hot fertile babes as other exalted Mormon males do. Certainly if there is any man worthy of LDS exaltation of the highest form it would be their Jesus.

So what did he do that got him “grounded”...

Hum...

The witness will answer the question, or face contempt.

Really reaganaut, how can these people keep all these bizarre teachings straight in their minds when these are so obviously distorted and twisted to begin with?...... The only possible way anyone could BELIEVE this is by the time they are ready for the really bizzare stuff their brain has to be close to shutdown mode, and the work of restructuring their minds complete.

Nothing else can explain it unless they begin with the Mormon church from another church that uses similar tactics...and if so then their minds are already pre- primed to take this bait.

The dropout rate has to esculate at certain levels....which then would account for keeping the missionary workers running at full neck speed to re-fill the rank and file.

Well He is a lesser ‘god’ to them, after all. Otherwise He would have his own planet.

I don’t expect an answer, I never really do. LDS SOP.

That then begs the question, who does the scoring for god levels? Is there a test. Maybe Jesus had problems with ocean making.

Seeing as how he helped in creating this world then maybe the Giraffe was his idea and it did not go over too good.

“Son, why not make the plants shorter?”...

“Aw geez dad...”

not spinning Resty. Christians don’t need to do that, it is the LDS that do.

God knows my heart, and knows I am telling the truth and for the right motives. That is all that is important.

I’m not auditioning for godhood like you are.

Dinged Jupiter ???

Yeppers that was a big NoNo

Joey Smith’s favorite planet...

Joey smith put a lot of his “faith” in Jupiter...

Why he even had an occultic talisman from Jupiter he carried around all the time..

He never was without it...

It gave him power over women...and good luck...and protection from bull...

As I was saying ... It gave him power over women...and good luck...and ah yeah...

Why he had it on him when he died...

- - - -
A few years ago, there was a report, by LDS sources, that stated the dropout rate OF CONVERTS past one year (minimum requirement for temple attendance) was over 50%.

There was also a report several years ago that the fastest growing office in the LDS admin was ‘name removal’.

And most can’t keep them all straight and don’t bother to really research their faith. I was an anomaly that way. I set out to be an LDS apologist rather than a ‘pew potato’.

There is also a reinforcement factor (brainwashing) that every 6 months there is a general conference where men in monotone voices say the same things over and over again, which are then repeated on a nearly weekly basis during weekly meetings.

I joke that I wasn’t brainwashed - just brain ‘pre soaked’.

You and Elsie are 110% correct.

On my street, NEXT DOOR and ACROSS the street.......there are 2 mormons (friends of each other). Very nice folks; excellent people. The must have bene the ones who sent the nice Missionaried short-white sleeve lads to my door the other day. I was polite; they left swiftly. (still biting my tongue). There will be a polite conflict of verbal truths happening soon.......I can feel it.

I read quite a bit of the endowment ceremony you linked... Shaking my head again and again....sighs a plenty...... for I know these people do not realize much of what they do and say in this ceremony comes straight from the very same things in Satanic Worship Ceremonies. Although they are led to believe this is something special in the Mormon faith...it is not.

Are you aware of this Reganaut? Need a little help here because that is what they are doing and saying.

Invite the poor boys in for dinner. They are always hungry and tend to live on top ramen. they will set aside a couple of hours for you (or the whole evening).

Don’t let them pray, but you have a captive audience for 2 hours and at night it is hard for them to claim ‘other appointments’.

great opportunity to plant seeds and they probably will never come back.

Yeah, I am aware of that. I was stuck at how Smith and Alister Crowley stole many of the same things from Masonry when I researched it.

Of course, Crowley’s was more overly sexual.

Did you notice that SATAN is the one who tells the participants to put on their fig leaf aprons (which he says are a symbol of his priesthood)?
