So there are Mormons who can sing well enough to go trough an audition process for a choir.
Good for them. And I'm sure they are talented.
But errr, what exactly does this have to do with LDS practices or beliefs at all?

Yes, I wondered that myself. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we are discussing.

Nonetheless, I am surprised the mormons don't believe a laborer is worthy of his hire.

Is there a religion that Isn't



Depends on what the person gets out of it...and the person.

I have a devout Catholic friend. She's logical, and doesn't blindly buy into all of it, but her faith in God is something she holds deeply. I don't agree with that, but I've seen that what she takes with her from her religion is the best of what most religions have to offer: fellowship and compassion. She's a lovely woman who derives a lot of serenity from her faith. Who am I to tell her she's wrong?

Now, if she were like Janadele, that would be painful to witness.

It's time for the world to wake up from the hypnotic, BS it's been shilling, for thousands of years.

That is my point.
 
I got a PM also. Not an answer for the question that I had asked, but more along the lines of "why are you asking that?" Never did get an answer.

Hmm. We need to start thinking about a leader. skyrider appointed RandFan before, but now he's one of them, so we droogs need to decide which of us is the most EvilTM and therefore the most deserving of such an honor.

The evil Empress works for me.
 
If you are going to form a support group of those unsmitten by Janadele's PMS, you really need to keep off the radar screen. The membership of anyone troublesome to the Quote Conduit can be easily revoked.

Just a friendly warning.
 
RandFan said:
That's a bit cynical. The BofM was first published in 1830. Do you really think that in 180 years the Church, run by god through his profit, could perfect the most correct book ever written? Have some patience and give it a few hundred years more. God will eventually get the most correct book right.

that's sarcasm btw

Confirmation bias. I remember when I was a Mormon I would note all of the celebrities, scientists, leaders of industry, politicians, artists, etc. that were Mormon. It was confirmation that the Mormon Church had positive aspects and therefore a good Church. It's as relevant as pointing out that the Catholic Church holds some of the greatest works of art on Earth. Or that Baptists contribute large number of artists to gospel, R&D, Jazz, Soul, rock and roll.

It demonstrates that humans are varied in talent, drive, intellect, etc. regardless of their ideological, theological and/or socioeconomic status.

"The building is very well equipped to transmit our meetings to members around the region," said Robert E. Bateman II, president of the Abu Dhabi stake. "In terms of electronic technology, remotely controlled cameras and projection capabilities, it may be one of the most advanced in the Church."

"Constructed of concrete masonry with a stucco finish, the stake center has approximately 14,000 square feet of space on three levels, said David McMillan, director for temporal affairs for the area. He said that one of the architectural features is a dome-shaped "steeple" in keeping with the local culture. Included in the building are a chapel, offices, classrooms and a small cultural hall.'

TO SOME it resembles a budding flower; others see a spaceport. The building that draws stares in the German city of Cologne is a new mosque, under construction since 2008, and one of a growing crop in countries where a large Muslim presence is new.
