Enos’ Age Defying Lifespan Enos 1:25; “And it came to pass that I began to be old, and an hundred and seventy and nine years had passed away from the time that our father Lehi left Jerusalem.” Psalm 90:10: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be […]
Today I came across an article in the LDS Meridian Magazine that was so full of errors – okay, lies – that I found it astounding the Church would try to pull off what they’re proposing this time. While their propaganda is nothing new it’s always surprising to me how they continue to spin the same story […]
When LDS Apostle Bruce McConkie gave a Fireside Speech in June 1980 he named it “The Seven Deadly Heresies”, His message was a warning to members of the Church to refrain from believing in some of the teachings that were made popular by past prophets. I’ve often wondered if he thought that his words would […]
This past September one of the twelve apostles delivered a devotional speech at BYU which was the first of a three pronged effort to brace members of what they may find “questionable” information in the release of the Joseph Smith Papers.

While that in itself has never caused me to take notice, this time was different. This get-together was for […]
The Saturday morning General Conference didn’t provide any new insight into Mormonism for those hoping to hear something they hadn’t heard before. However, it did give a false sense of worldly hope to those who believe the Church needs to loosen its grip on male dominance. For the first time in the history of the […]
The Burned Over District In early nineteenth century America a call for repentance swept across the country via the body of Christ just as it did some fifty years earlier with the First Great Awakening. It became obvious to many in the young fledgling country the Lord wanted their attention as growing pains kicked in to move […]
Study, Research, Investigate I wish I had kept track of the number of times Mormons have written in to tell us that we’re wrong about the Book of Mormon. The number one thing they all have in common is their lack of research and study time they’ve spent in their “standard works” – […]
Confessions of a Sixth Generation Mormon Heaven. Do you know if you’re going there? If you died today, do you know with certainty where you would go?
