Facsimilogos: A Letter to Believers
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-letter-to-believers.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. A Letter to Believers. In this spirit, I present a response to a true believer that I came up with when I was more inclined to do so. I had gone over much with this person and this was the latest round of attempts to reason with this person that I sought to share;. So, if the church is completely true as I understand it, then the church claims to have the answers to the question, "What is the purpose of life? Now, I admi...

Facsimilogos: June 2012
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Why am I sad? I have really tried to help my family understand why I feel the way I do. However, when I try to make the attempts, I feel like barriers go up and a defensive posture is assumed. Why can't people try to understand me without assuming I am going to personally attack them? That people truly don't care what I think enough to burden themselves with putting me out to pasture? I guess part of it is because I want to b...

Facsimilogos: If women had the priesthood
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2013/03/if-women-had-priesthood.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Monday, March 25, 2013. If women had the priesthood. I have seen some buzz lately surrounding the idea of women being able to hold the priesthood. My initial reaction is that they should be able to hold the priesthood, and be able to hold any calling men do in the church. However, after I think about it for a while I come to realize that it actually may not be such a good idea. Then there are the changes that would likely occur if women were to event...

It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Friday, April 5, 2013. Jesus and Tommy Monson. Friday, April 05, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm an observer here seeking affiliation with intelligent life forms. Primary interests are in the deep place known as the human mind, body and science. The advancement of the human race is most intriguing to me. I am also a disaffected member of the LDS church who is working through things with my still believing wife and children. 1 Nephi 4:17...

Facsimilogos: October 2012
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. The work of bringing souls to the corporate entity known as the Intellectual Reserve. I was brought up to think that missionary work was the most noble and worthwhile pursuit. Now I think of it as a nuisance. The reason I now think of it this way is because I now realize what it really is! And, of course, I wasn't anti-anything. I was only anti-everybody outside of Mormonism. And, while I didn't usually resort to a...They ...

Facsimilogos: August 2012

It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Friday, August 10, 2012. Letter to my LDS family and friends. To my LDS family and friends,. This needs to stop. I think this was the message that Dieter F. Uchtdorf was attempting to convey at the last LDS General Conference. Just like you, I imagine that feeling loved and accepted are of the utmost desire to you. I am no different. Granted, I like attempting to explore difficult issues and express difficult questions, but I am human nonethe...I'm a...

It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. I've found a new church! I found a new church! I am so excited to tell you about it! It turns out to be the original church God established even before Adam and Eve. Here are the core tenets of my new church;. We believe that we have the one true path of happiness in this life and the life to come after death.

Facsimilogos: Tithing and the law of consecration
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2014/01/tithing-and-law-of-consecration.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Saturday, January 11, 2014. Tithing and the law of consecration. So, a couple weeks ago, the lesson was on tithing. I had some fun with this one. I especially enjoy this teacher because he usually shows a video for every lesson. This last week he actually showed two videos! Isn't it just a total cop out to say that the Lord "may" be stingy with us? What really got me thinking enough to motivate me in writing this blog post was a quote that the teache...

Facsimilogos: May 2012
http://facsimilogos.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
It Appears like Facts to me! My Adventures in seeking. Monday, May 7, 2012. When does life begin? If it does, then it would make sense that pregnancy would be a very important event regardless of whether or not a baby is born. Why the disparity of treatment for these children who are miscarried or stillborn? Are they just not as important as those that take a breath outside the womb? Why doesn't the church keep a record of them, let alone attempt to seal these children to parents? Monday, May 07, 2012.
