 Friends         | I was born in Manhattan, raised in New Jersey and lived everywhere else. Technically, I'm a New Yorker, though I consider myself from New Jersey. I'm an anarchist and a latter-day saint (Mormon), temple-married man with children. I converted from Catholicism. I believe in the GEMTAM (the Gospel-based, Egalitarian, Multihusband-Multiwife, Tribal Anarchy Model) and expect one day to marry additional wives. I also expect that my wife/ves will marry additional husbands. When I am ready to expand my tribe horizontally, I will put up pictures of myself.

I had to take time to figure this one out...Horizontally. When is a good time yo catch you online again? 1 month ago • Report 0 cupholder: That's kind of a hard question to answer. The computer gets a lot of use in my family, but when I get online, I don't always log in to Wireclub. I'll tell you what, for the next week, I'll make it a point to log in when I'm online and keep an online status, plus open up the LDS Anarchy chat room, and maybe we'll finally catch each other here. Whaddya say? Is it a deal? 24 days ago • Report 0  cupholder: "Why do you call me a Christian when you believe in a Restoration?", asked an evangelical Christian pastor of a latter-day saint. I think it is a very valid question. cupholder: I really like the sense lines. None of the revelations were received with punctuation or paragraphing, so it makes sense just to keep them as they were dictated, without punctation and kept as a whole thought. All of the revelations in the book of Doctrine and Covenants and in the Pearl of Great Price can be reformatted using the sense lines technique. I wonder if we'd find chiasmus in them if we did that, such as are found in the Book of Mormon? This now makes me want to re-write, or re-format the entire Standard Works in this manner and see if anything pops out of the text that I didn't notice before...  chooseausername1: it has a freshness and readability to it, the sense lines. It is remarkable how the original text, save for spell errors, is just the same as we have today. Not really, I guess, but it is good for us. cupholder: I feel like such a dunce. I looked at the Book of Mormon yersterday to determine what potential paragraph markers the text might indicate and I couldn't see any. Each chapter is a cohesive whole and flows from one concept to the next. Royal Skousen is correct that the Book of Mormon should be read with the chapters divided as they were on the plates, even as the first edition had them (1830), but with sense line divisions. Skousen went wrong in inserting his own paragraph divisions into the text and in adding some addiitional punctuation. The Book of Mormon should be read without punctuation, using only sense lines. I'll write a blog post to illustrate what I'm talking about by showing the title page and the first chapter, along with some introductory material in case people unfamiliar with the book happen to read what I write. ZionsDaughter: Missing our conversations! Thanks for replying to my email. Interesting story to share. Hope you and the family had a lovely Christmas. Talk soon. XX cupholder: Thank you! Sending the same wishes to your family for New Years. You look beautiful in your new photo (and the older photo, too), btw. Good luck keeping the men from hitting on you! cupholder: Okay, so to all the Christmas celebrators, have fun and make merry, drink lots of nog and dance and sing and do whatever it is you do. Until next week... (If anyone needs to get a hold of me for some reason, just send me a personal message. I check my email daily.) cupholder: Note to self: Interplanetary “Day After Tomorrow?” http://www.enterprisemission.com/_articles/05-14-2004_Interplanetary_Part_1/Interplanetary_1.htm Part 2 contains the plasma arcs connecting Jupiter to its moon. cupholder: I cannot collect my thoughts to get this post finished. Maybe I'll just leave it on the back-burner until next year and go play with my kids... cupholder to Atabey_Aberewa: Here ya, go. The Book of Mormon in English: http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng cupholder: I have some new thoughts in my head today. Perhaps I will incorporate them into an old draft post that I never published... cupholder: Well, I decided not to incorporate them into the old post and just posted the new info as its own, separate post. You can read it here: http://ldsanarchy.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/and-the-labor-which-they-had-to-perform-was-to-look/ It's called: “…and the labor which they had to perform was to look…”  Atabey_Aberewa: I  you! You f*cking rock. I was reading your entry on circumcision. I chose not to have my son circumcised, because I feel it is wrong. It was not his choice, if I have it done. Just because I am his mother does not give me the RIGHT to cut off his flesh which will never regenerate, as we are not reptiles. My son's father resents his mother for having him circumcised. cupholder: Oh, thanks for the compliment, Afrodyte! I can say the same about you for leaving your son intact. He probably doesn't know yet just how lucky he is and how intelligent a mother he's got. If, when he get older, he realizes what could have happened to him, I'm sure both he AND his wife will bless your name forever. cupholder: Here's a good link to the Lord's day being Sunday, not Saturday, and that the early Christians kept the Lord's day holy, not Saturday: http://www.bible.ca/H-sunday.htm   cupholder to LDS Anarchy: Btw, there is also an LDS Anarchy chat room for those who prefer chat: Chatroom: Lds Anarchy ZionsDaughter: I could not help myself! I am ashamed!! Being isolated and stay at home mother makes it too tempting as my friends don't talk to me otherwise except stupid FB. I am going through the FB cleanse, ending the addiction, it is now permanently blocked and I cant access it...I know how bad it is with privacy. Time to get back to contacting people the personal way! cupholder: Okay, so these three links I just posted adequately show that the Big Bang theory is busted beyond repair. There is absolutely no evidence of the Universe starting with a Big Bang. Also, there are no such things as Black Holes. They are just mathematically constructed fairy tales. (And you can add Dark Matter to that list of fables, though these three links don't get into Dark Matter.) cupholder: Seeing Red: Redshifts, Cosmology and Academic Science http://www.amazon.com/Seeing-Red-Redshifts-Cosmology-Academic/dp/0968368905 |
