According to Aaron Earls article, found here Baptist Press – Mormonism’s cultural rise likely to continue – News with a Christian Perspective, one cannot escape the flawed statements made. At first, one reads and finds some congruence with what Earls is saying, and the informational statements made by Tal Davis and Ant Greenham, about Mitt Romney … Continue reading »  Read More →

Quando il Presidente della Chiesa di Gesù Cristo dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni (Mormoni) si alza per parlare all’inizio della Conferenza Generale SUG, di solito ci possiamo aspettare qualche annuncio interessante. Non molti anni fa, siamo rimasti sorpresi quando il presidente Thomas S. Monson annunciò la costruzione del Tempio di Roma. Anche questa volta presidente Monson ha iniziato annunciando la costruzione di un paio di nuovi templi. Tuttavia, dopo che il presidente Hinckley (predecessore del presidente Monson) aveva aumentato la costruzione di templi ad un ritmo senza precedenti, l’annuncio di  due nuovi templi non è più motivo di grande sorpresa (a meno che non si tratti di un tempio costruito a Roma o forse nella Contea di Jackson, Missouri, o in Gerusalemme). Dopo averci informato circa la costruzione dei due nuovi templi in Arizona e in Perù, il presidente Monson ha subito cambiato argomento, dicendo: Fratelli e sorelle, mi rivolgo ora... Read the rest of this entry »

George Bernard Shaw adequately stated the following: I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. As we engage in the conversations about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are going to come across individuals with a pernicious tenacity to engage us … Continue reading »  Read More →

Today’s blockbuster announcement from the first session of the 182nd semi-annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will give the option to young men to begin serving as full-time missionaries at age 18 (down from 19) and to young women to begin serving at 19 (down from 21). In the half-hour press conference that followed the morning session, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Executive Missionary Committee, described himself as “giddy” over the news that was guarded by the Quorum of the Twelve and the First Presidency until today’s announcement by Church President Thomas S. Monson. I had exactly the same reaction as Elder Holland.  Read More →

Lately, anti-Mormons have been spreading rumors about the possibility that Thomas S. Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is in the early stages of Alzheimers. These rumors are propagated in three different posts on Mormon Curtain (HERE, HERE, and HERE), as well as on Recovery From Mormonism. They attempt to support their rumor-mongering by noting how President Monson has not showed up at certain key events during the past three months. On one Mormon Curtain post, a person puts forth the ludicrous proposition that “Elder Packer wants to stage a kind of ‘coup’ whereby the Brethren would vote to give Pres. Monson ‘emeritus’ status, thus allowing Packer to ascend to the throne in spite of the fact that Monson is still alive”. But if President Monson really had Alzheimer’s, would he be preparing to make a trip to Germany and speak at four different stops? From October 13-20, just after the conclusion of the 182nd Semiannual... Read the rest of this entry »

I will just apologize right now that this is going to be another serious, preachy post because posting a different letter of the alphabet everyday has made me over-analyze everything.  It’s also made me stop exercising, neglect my writing and sing the alphabet over and over in my head.  Okay, I wasn’t really exercising or writing, but I was thinking about it. One Sunday morning a long time ago there was a mother who was was much younger and thinner and uptighter than she is now, who was trying to do 4 girls’ hair before church.  Unfortunately, her daughters had their own opinions about how their hair should or shouldn’t be done.  There was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.  There might have been some running through the house with a hair brush, yelling threats at toddlers and preschoolers done by the mother.  There might have been some crying and scratching and biting done by the daughters. ... Read the rest of this entry »
