  1. 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 .
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 🤨
  4. horsefeathers ! ( this is NOT a reflection on bluebell. It was just easier to quote. )
  5. 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 ?
  6. 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)
  7. Is the alternative spending eternity strumming on a harp while lounging on a cloud ?
  8. 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that, according to some, Joseph had access to the entire Library of Congress as well as any and all tomes published or unpublished in Europe or elsewhere before 1830 and maybe even after.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 )
  9. I knew that I should have put an emoji on the end of my post . 🤕
  10. Primary = Celestial kingdom ? You will get arguments for and against !
  11. No need for such drastic measures, just walk around with a pack of cigs in your shirt pocket and a hip flask. 😈
  12. Catch the stats in the first minute. Geneology has some challenges ahead. What do changes to Quebec’s unmarried partners laws mean to you | Watch (msn.com)
  13. Careful when swimming near the , " Whirlpool of Speculation "
  14. Whoever shall paint OSB shall never be happy with the results.
  15. I think that humans have been multiplying just fine. The problem is they have been replenishing the plastic WAY too much !!!
  16. Personal experience shows average attendance is around 50% disregarding a missionary farewell or homecoming. 2/3 seems unusually high.
  17. Please clarify. Where is she now and where has she been living and will her status change once married ?
  18. Did you make it a matter of prayer before you started ?
  19. Depends on the country. Yes, more resources can be needed and well used in some areas. In others it just goes to line the pockets of corrupt leaders and fuel further conflict. Years ago in Central America, bags of grain were seen of the local markets. These bags were part of humanitarian aid and were clearly label in several languages not to be sold. This aid was stolen by local thieves .
  20. It's almost as if corruption breeds corruption. IIRC there was recently a scandal involving a UN agency and corruption , hmmm
  21. One bottleneck is that in some countries the hunger comes because of internal conflict where armed groups will not allow humanitarian aid in to possibly feed opponents. In other places food aid will rot on the docks for lack of ability to distribute it. Throwing money at the problem will just increase corruption and have unintended consequences.
  22. If all else fails...
  23. At least you have not caught a Bishop wandering the Adult section of the old video store... neither have I, cough , cough.
  24. There is a trend for fewer men and women to want to get married . I suspect this is also happening in the Church. This will affect Church demographics long term.
