That was unfair. I did like Fraggle Rock but that was only kind of Canadian. You also gave us one of the greatest movies ever made:

At least it established that inter-dimensional travel isn't always a threat to the church.

Doctor Strange represents a competing model of exaltation.

I DON"T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHHAHAHHAHAHA! I only watch Seinfeld, Gilmour Girls, the Tonite Show hosted by Mr. Jimmy Fallon and Flipper

They're "Daleks" from Doctor Who.  I've never watched the show, but I guess they've seeped far enough into the sub-culture that I've heard of them.

By the way, Steve Englehart (one of the main writers for Doctor Strange) is a member of Ordo Templi Orientis, the same occult fraternal order that I belong to.

Tsuzuki-

This is off topic and I hope this isn't rude but I'm curious. I see that you list yourself as a "luciferian". Does that mean you worship satan and/or evil, or does it mean something else?

It means whatever you want to project on to it.

As for remaining on topic, I grew up Mormon, but began exploring occultism because I felt that Mormonism needed something more. I am now the same religion as Doctor Strange, and am a member of the same occult fraternity as one of Doctor Strange's main writers. I think they should have included Doctor Strange as a bubble in their Power Point presentation.

The first Daleks were made in the 60s so they have the right feel.

Okay, so Jesus laid out the LDS plan, Lucifer laid out the failed compulsion plan, and I created the dumb third plan that involved eating the tree of life after the tree of the knowledge of good and evil so everyone would live forever in their sins (this plan died in committee). Who came up with granting the Ancient One mystical powers so that wizards can be exalted too?

It's a pity you abandoned your plan. It didn't entirely die in committee. On the contrary, it's one of the cornerstones of the Western magical tradition, including what Joseph Smith was exposed to.

Is Steve responsible for the "worlds without number" verbiage in the early portions of the film?

If so, is he LDS?

A recent public sharing of a PowerPoint presentation presented to the Quorum of the 12 in December of 2015 lists these "issues and ideas" (and people) who are contributing to people leaving the Church.  Interesting range of issues.  And why is "Robert Norman" on the list?  Is it this guy?

 

I also think the use of the term "incredulity" is misused in regards to Church history:

I don't know if it's intentional, but it misframes the issue many people have with LDS history.  The problem isn't "incredulity", or "unwillingness to believe."  It would probably be more correct to say they are "incapable of believing" based on the current evidence.

For some,  it is that they obtain knowledge within a reasonable margin of certainty that it's false.

Steve is an occultist, and an initiate of Aleister Crowley's magical fraternity, Ordo Templi Orientis, like myself.

Mormonism doesn't have a monopoly on exaltation or worlds without end. It actually borrowed those ideas from occultism.

Then I can only assume western magical tradition is filled with terrible people.

Sadly no, if he was I would be learning demonic summoning and binding ritual in church. I am as disappointed as you are.

You should have been selectively attending to the right obscure semi-doctrines, like I was. My own Mormon experience prepared me for Aleister Crowley, and it was a very smooth transition.

And I'm not by any measure the only one. O.T.O. membership is disproportionately Mormon raised, and we deserve a place on that threat Power Point.

According to wiki, you have 1500 members in the US.  If half are exmormon, that is 700.

Unless you are having substantial impact in other countries, I doubt that your group rates that high on the disaffecting scale.  Sorry.

We are growing.
