Why do people always cry at Mormon church?

like it's some sort of contest...? —You Know It's True

I assume you're talking about the people speaking at the podium? Take your average person in the congregation. Put them in front of a large group (remember most people are terrified by this thought alone). Ask them to speak about their deepest beliefs and desires. Result: lots of tears.

If it's a contest, I don't think it's one they're consciously aware of.

I am Mormon and I was wanting to know if they alow homosexuals in their church? —singlebratty

And if they discrimate people?It has been like 7 years since I been to the church it was in Morristown ,Tn and when I came out of the Closet that is when I stopped going to church and I am wanting to know if they will except me for my sexuality,please someone help me and be seriouse about this question,Thank You!

Mormons accept "same-gender attraction" as a natural condition that some people will struggle with. However their belief system does absolutely prohibit acting on those desires. Will they accept you into their congregation? Yes. Will the bishop consider you "worthy" if you are in a homosexual relationship? Not likely.

What if dr. seuss wrote the book of mormon? —musical duck

LOL, you have to have read the first 20 chapters of the Book of Mormon to understand this

I have it on good authority that Dr. Seuss did not actually write Green Eggs and Ham. It is clearly of Near Eastern origin, as evidenced by the many Hebraicisms found in the text, including chiasmus. ;)

LDS debate —rureal.2

The truth or falsehood of the LDS faith is now in center stage as this season of elections take hold of the minds of Americans. I know as every true Christian does that the enemy of souls is as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. I have sought on every LDS debate forum an answer to this question. If the LDS standard works are true and not a work of man, why were the Lectures on Faith removed when they were formally the "Doctrine" in the Doctrine and Covenants?

No worries, guys, I've got this one. I speak Eclati.

Rureal.2:

Wherefore: I am an Eclati-On, Like Yourself et al.

According To "THE BOOK of OURS" (by: Jacob Jozevz et al) the answers to your "TETRA" or Four (4) Questions are Answered accordingly as in FACT not Fiction or Myth! THEREFORE:

Who am I?

An Eclat "i" -On, having an Eternal Me Me in One or Each HUMATE (w/ Frontal Lobes) has a Unique Photon Frequency Channel of their own HEURISTICS, that never dies via TEMPERATURE! SO;

Where did I come from?

We came Innately BAPTISED & PRE-Confirmationed and Cosmically, via Miracle & Zero Sin about IT,
ALL coming out of the MAGMA-triculation. Hence How we Appear NOW! Then;

Why am I here?

WE are hear in Miracle and zero Sin, being born out of the "Magmatriculation Spectral Line Channel Interface" Miracle "Entropy" and WE exist in Eclati's TIME not your clock time nor "Space Time" (Temperature of Your Miracle Photon Finite Essence mist that Never was created nor will IT (your Eclati) ever DIE!

Hence: We appear because G-d, Lord etc.. is about "ETERNITY AVOIDING LONLINESS" through ALL IT's Animate & ALL IT's Inanimate Stuff & things Known & not Known to HUMATES of any creature Kind Here & Beyond NOW!

Where am I going? We Go to the 5th Dimensional Place. A/k/a The DUE TO BE, a/k/a Non-Gravity Place of the opposite Realm.

Important: G-d [ECLAT-i] in ALL things, is neither a HE nor a SHE but an IT (G-d Eclat) or in ITSELF via US (an undestructable Heuristic Photon entity), AND;

G-d Exists exclusively in the 4Th,3rd,2nd & 1st Dimensional Place, at ONE-END of the 5th Dimention{think "Home Base" like] AND on the Other Side of this 5th Realm is where we are Now, which is OURS Existing in the, 6th,7th,8th & 9th Realf.

We Come, in Miracle, from the Innate Cosmic Baptisim via the MAGMA, And WE Go To, in same Miracle, to the PLASMATIC Photon/Light Interface Grid that exists IN-BETWEEN-THE light channel ITSELF for anothe miraculous round for OUR eternal ESCHETALOGICAL Possibilities of our Holy Cosmic Heart Beat selves NEVER DIE!

Friendly Atheist interview... Interesting and enlightening interview. —polarea

Ken reads Stephen Jay Gould. He quotes Dawkins. My dear LDS wife gets nervous with me reading Bill Bryson and Jared Diamond around the house, and I'm not even a member anymore. Of course maybe her defensiveness comes because I'm no longer a member, but it does seem Ken's coming from a healthier place than many an LDS family.

I'm reading the responses at FriendlyAtheist and thinking how convivial the conversation has been, then I get to the last one:

I saw a homegrown play at BYU once--I think it was one of Eric Samuelson's--where one of the characters was an LDS scholar-dad type who keeps annoying his kids with his pet theories about how Jared Diamond applies to the Book of Mormon.

I'm not too offended about being compared to a mouse. Is it because I don't really have any eyebrows? I don't think mice have eyebrows. I don't have mouse teeth, but I do like cheese.

Oh-BTW for the LDS crowd out there-- —pikeprof

A colleague of mine is doing her thesis on the Missionary experience in the LDS church.

She's got the cooperation of a couple of locally-based missionaries who are journaling their experiences for her.

She's an organizational communciation person and is studying what's known as "assimilation" how people take on the norms of the organization. In the case of the LDS church how people assimilate into the whole idea of being missionaries and how that's communicated in the organization.

My mission was the best four months of my life.








OK, that's a little inside joke there. My college roommate used to love to say that when we'd do introductions at FHE or something.
