Nobody CARES about the frickin' Morons. Get over it. Let them be dumbasses on their own time.
Let's hear more about that hippy hoppy homo chipper dude.
Besides, Mormons are just too damn nice to really argue with.
Yes, many of them are. And yes, I sometimes feel shame for being a dick.
But then, most Germans are nice too and I will argue with them over Hitler's teachings (that's right, I went there!) if they try to brush them aside as "not official German doctrine, so they don't count."
I'm sure there are plenty of Brits who are as#@&%es, but I can't help chuckle every time they talk. If I hear "today 13 children were blown to bits by a suicide bomber" on US news, I'm sad... if I hear it on BBC, I can't help but expect to hear "and now for something completely different."
Point is... 3 more weeks and I won't be stuck in front of a computer anymore. Until then.
Growing up SURROUNDED by morons I've heard it countless times. Scout camps. Dinner conversations. Death bed nonsense. From common folks as well as higher ups. You are worse than a mobster pretending they don't order hits
Wes, scout camps, dinner conversations and, my condolences, deathbed discourse are medium for opinion and personal sentiment.
If a bishop is conducting an authorized church service within a youth camp, he shouldn't be palavering about non-doctrinal precepts.
Hanging out with boy scouts around the campfire, he should be careful about what he says...but in a casual gatherings, personal opinions come out.
Is it possible the Pratt prattle you heard was vocalized by adult assistants just articulating their personal notions.
Some mormons like the "ruling over planets" conception, no doubt...but for most members it's..."what in this life prepares me to "rule over" a planet in material, temporal and spiritual dimensions?
Back to that stunningly bad attempt at Hip-Hop: was anyone else immediately reminded of the scene in Boogie Nights where Dirk Diggler, adrift in a haze of ssef-delusional hubris, actually beleives he can write songs and perform music?
Why would "most members" contemplate such a thing when it isn't even taught?
Again, it's not taught in church.
The concept gets expounded in personal gabfests. And some patrons of the notion assume an authoritarian posture, and, sadly, a few listening assume it to be veritable dogma
Jennie, I'm not arguing with what your leaders deem "official" doctrine.
I don't really care what those old fulks say, other than as a tax exempt group they should NOT influence politics... but still do.
I'm talking about "most members" who contemplate things like...
"what in this life prepares me to "rule over" a planet in material, temporal and spiritual dimensions?"
Or "are blacks really marked with the curse of Cain"
Or "are women really so inferior that they can't get into heaven without the help of a righteous man."
Those come from YOUR religion... official or not, I don't care.
Those were taught in YOUR religious institutions (BYU, etc)... official or not, I don't care.
Those were taught by YOUR religious leaders... official or not, I don't care.
They influence the attitudes and behaviors of YOUR fellow morons. The only good news is that the number of people who believe the "unofficial doctrine" is rapidly decreasing. Just today a good source has informed that is has gone from

10 seconds of listening to Ivan's video and I like him a lot more. Its not hip hop its reggae. Blows away 90% of the music vids people post here. White dude with a hairbag and shades singing an anti-war bob marley type tune. Looks like a totally different person than the guy in the boulder chipping video.
Let us know!
