We ought to obey God rather than men." -the Apostle Peter, Acts 5:29. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Go Ahead And Skip That Temple Wedding. I'm not normally in the habit of telling other people what they should or should not do, but this is the time of year when a lot of young LDS couples get engaged and start nailing down their wedding plans for the spring. So I'm going to go out on a limb here and offer some valuable counsel to the youth of the church. Here it is:. Don't get married in the temple. Whereas ...

Pure Mormonism: Why I'm Abandoning Polygamy
http://puremormonism.blogspot.com/2010/06/why-im-abandoning-polygamy.html
We ought to obey God rather than men." -the Apostle Peter, Acts 5:29. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Why I'm Abandoning Polygamy. Like all good Latter-day Saints of my generation, I’ve always been a committed polygamist. To be clear, I’ve never been a practicing. That’s kind of how I’ve thought about polygamy most of my life. It was out there in the future somewhere, but not necessarily all that relevant to me at the moment. Just gimme that first wedding night and we can discuss numbers later. So while growing...

We ought to obey God rather than men." -the Apostle Peter, Acts 5:29. Sunday, September 15, 2013. The Denver Snuffer Debacle.

Pure Mormonism: Uncomfortable God
http://puremormonism.blogspot.com/2014/06/uncomfortable-god.html
We ought to obey God rather than men." -the Apostle Peter, Acts 5:29. Sunday, June 8, 2014. Previously: Vengeance And The Latter-Day Saint. The modified audiovisual presentations supplanting the original. For the most part, I’m just fine with that. The general leadership of the Church, for all the adulation they receive from adoring church members, are fallible human beings. I don’t expect their talks to be perfect. Elder Holland came across as angry and condescending. Part of my takeaway, I'm sure, ...
