  1. Please explain how this could be his affidavit and not hers.
  2. I stand corrected !! Actually I am currently sitting.
  3. My memory isn't that good anymore but I don't recall being asked if I understand a law, just if I obey it. The law of Chastity has areas that a BYU student might understand differently than I do. At least that is what I have heard. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  4. " Stranger Things " can happen !
  5. From an energy efficient point of view for heating and cooling, that is not a bad idea. Also, from a religious symbolism view it would make sense if the entire baptistry was underground. ๐Ÿ˜‡
  6. A good architect could produce a two story temple with a footprint of 40,000 sqft. and interior space of 80,000 sqft in about a week. This would occupy only 5 % of the lot and be much more residential friendly. Of course , it might not look much like a temple and maybe that is the point anyway.
  7. How many Stakes in Las Vegas ? Is it hard to be a Pit Boss and keep a recommend ? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  8. Now we just have crazy individuals .
  9. Just out of curiousity, how many books have done similar deep dives into the Haun's Mill event.?
  10. Just what we need... flying pigs !
  11. The lot for the building is about 20 acres, which for city dwellers is 2 full square blocks. The building itself would occupy about an acre and a half plus landscaping. As for the height, one would hope that would include a substantial lightening rod as it seems to have a metaphorical one already.
  12. I remember being told as a youth that churches had a steeple so that it could be recognized as a religious building in case of emergency or a stranger looking for it would see the spire from afar. My young brain accepted that reasoning. It may have just been following a Protestant tradition. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
  13. Not sure where I heard this but ChatGPT is inaccurate about 20% of the time and ,more concerning, will deny that it is wrong. Seems it has learned gaslighting is a human trait .
  14. Many years ago I was on a flight at night that came near Las Vegas. The pilot flew over the area and we were treated to the bright jewel in the surrounding blackness. I imagine Vegas has expanded considerably in the past 40+ years.
  15. Had the statement been , " religious symbolism " instead of "religious observance " I might have agreed. As a member I am not required to put a steeple on my house. ๐Ÿคจ
  16. horsefeathers ! ( this is NOT a reflection on bluebell. It was just easier to quote. )
  17. Cardston is 88,000 . I think the major concern seems to be the height . 200+ ft Remind me , Calm , how did the MTC building in Provo finally work out ?
  18. The proposed design does seem out of place for its location. Why so big? A new temple in my area is half the size and it will serve at least 6 stakes. Anger erupts in Nevada town as residents resist big Mormon temple (msn.com)
  19. Is the alternative spending eternity strumming on a harp while lounging on a cloud ?
  20. Always remember and never forget that, according to some, Joseph had access to the entire Library of Congress as well as any and all tomes published or unpublished in Europe or elsewhere before 1830 and maybe even after. Do your research ! ( insert correct emoji here )
  21. I knew that I should have put an emoji on the end of my post . ๐Ÿค•
  22. Primary = Celestial kingdom ? You will get arguments for and against !
  23. No need for such drastic measures, just walk around with a pack of cigs in your shirt pocket and a hip flask. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  24. Catch the stats in the first minute. Geneology has some challenges ahead. What do changes to Quebecโ€™s unmarried partners laws mean to you | Watch (msn.com)
  25. Careful when swimming near the , " Whirlpool of Speculation "
