Who doesn't adore Amanda Tapping? Besides my wife, I mean...
Has anyone noticed a particular mormon poster?
who has made several unflattering references to Elizabeth Smart?
I see this as either a misguided fanatic or a potential stalker who is violating the safety and privacy rights of a private individual. "Freedom of Speech' ends the moment Libel is approached. If common decency cannot prevent this, perhaps this will:
I've taken the liberty to print out these posts for Yahoo and 'other' investigators review and action.
I expect that Ms Smart will no longer be a topic of speculation or discussion in this forum. Leave her be.
25 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat causes the appearance of spiral galactic arms?
It was explained to me once as 'shock' waves stars pass through not unlike traffic slowdowns on a freeway. Is this a fair analogy? Do these 'shock waves' also have a relative movement?
1 AnswerAstronomy & Space1 decade agoHow many pages would a book on the Book of Mormon women be?
....If the book entitled "All the Women of the Bible" by ML DelMastro is 396 pages?
Half as many?
100 pages?
A pamphlet?
A Post-It note?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhere did the mormons go?
Their 'significant contribution' seems absent in the sidebar of this article.

Pope Benedict reasserted the Catholic Church as the One and Only True Church that represents Christ today.

21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHas anyone ever examined the Physics of the Mormon 'Kolob'?
I alway thought this was taken as a matter of faith. Now an engineer as attempted to 'prove' the physics of the Book of Abraham http://www.blazelabs.com/f-u-free.asp
However, a response from another scientist at
http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2007/02/another_r...
refutes it. I had no idea this topic was ever discussed in scientific circles regarding the Unified Field Theory and an Egyptian Funerary Papyri.
Once again there are two sides to every arguement, but in this case I understand neither.

8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDid the Mormon church ever condemn the Song of Solomon?
As scripture never to read because of it's 'erotic' content? Apostle Mark E Peterson admonished the missionaries in England in 1977 to staple those pages together so you couldn't read them. Was this another 'shoot from the hip' spiritual tip from Elder Peterson, or is there a doctrinal backup for this?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy has the mormon church reneged on their promise to stop baptizing Jews?
in 1995 only to be caught doing it again in 2006? Apparently former Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal's baptism records were found December 20, 2006. And former Main Nazi Adolf Hitler was baptized December 1993 and sealed to his parents March 1994. The chances of these two 'sharing the gospel' together seems uncomfortable at best.
Does this complete absence of shame and dignity disturb anyone, or is this best forgotten like polygamy?

9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoBook of Mormon and Old World Plants?
It is a fact that domestic plants are all flowering plants which means they produce pollen in large quantities to survive. If the Nephite/Jaredite civilizations had been growing these crops: wheat, barley, and flax for even just a few decades, every soil core sample taken in Central and North America should show traces of their respective pollen. Pollen is one of the most indestructible natural objects known, and has been found on the Shroud of Turin and Antarctic core samples.
So far, there has been no evidence of any cultivation of these crops prior to European colonization.
Did J Smith translate this correctly?
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIs there a tradition of 'skirts only' for women at mormon meetings?
My daughter asked me this after she was 'shaken down' by a bishop for wearing a nice pantsuit. I don't think there's a doctrinal issue.
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow come when I google "American Indian DNA"?
I don't get the Maxwell Institute or Jeff Lindsay's fine scholarly reports? Well, okay, the 4th page returned "American Indian Mormons in crisis of spiritual identity", but mostly just scientific institutions and reseach centers.
Is the world so mislead by this obvious coverup?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHas the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ever sung "Book of Mormon Stories"?
"That my teacher told to me.." Sung to the droning beat of a 'Tom-Tom'?
Wouldn't that be a wonderful message on how the One True Church maintains cultural stereotyping?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoCan any BYU 'scientist's' findings be credible?
If they didn't have to worry about losing their job or being excommunicated, would they still keep coming up with their convoluted, overly complicated and thoroughly unprofessional explanations?
8 AnswersEarth Sciences & Geology1 decade agoWhy is it that mormon apologists can find plenty of 'evidence' of Lehi's trek down the Saudi peninsula
But fail to find even bits of pottery shards or bones from their millions of white-shinned descendants that roamed Mexico thru Canada?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIf you knew a devout True Believing Mormon?
Who absolutely is convinced in Adam and Eve, the Tower of Babel, the Six Day Creation, and all the characters in the Book of Mormon as literal truth, and he was a thoracic surgeon about to open up your chest, would you allow it?
Or would a more scientific approach be more advisable?

12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI've read where archealologists have found what they believe is King Herod's Tomb?
Has anyone discovered the America Mormon tombs of Lehi or Sariah or Laman or Lemual or Nephi or Sam or Mosiah or Benjamin or The other Mosiah or Zeniff or Another Laman or Yet anthoer Laman or Noah or Limhi or Alma or Nephihah or Pahoran or Another Pahoran or Pacumeni or Helaman or The Second Nephi or Cezoram or The Son of Cezoram or Seezoram or Lachoneus or Another Lachoneus or Amalickiah or Ammoron or Tubaloth or Aaron or Mormon or Jared or Jareds Brother or Orihah or Corihor or Kib or Ether or Coriantumr or Shiz yet?
5 AnswersMythology & Folklore1 decade agoAre the Three Nephites still out in the world teaching mormonism?
Have they actually taught and baptized anyone and sent their membership records to Salt Lake? If the missionaries discover a bunch of people who have been members for 200 centuries, will they owe 2000 years of tithing settlement? Have the 3 Nephites contacted the first presidency and updated them on their missionary progress yet? Do they use flannel board pictures with llamas and tapirs?
So many questions I wanted to ask in seminary...
