My new boss is LDS but not LDS.
 
here are the facts i have learned about him:

1. He went on a mission, was married in the temple and went to BYU.

2. He no longer attends church, teaches his kids at home, no longer wears garments and no longer goes to the temple.

3. Told me that the gospel is perfect the church is not.

4. Broke off from the LDS church when he lived in Ephraim with a small group of people and started a different version of the LDS faith. (someone else told me this not him)

5. believes the book of mormon is true even talks about it from time to time.

6. Is definitely an intellectual his favorite book is Atlas Shrugged loves Rand, talks a lot about philosophy, capitalism, and other things that intellectuals talk about :).

7. His wife is really hot and i dont think he would want to share her, he told me they dont believe in polygamy here on earth but they do in the afterlife.

Some believe garments are meant to be removed and that there comes a point in life when garments, the temple, and the church are stages and rituals of life that are no longer needed.

Atlas Shrugged sucks. It reads like a fourth grade apology for selfishness.

What do you believe? Do you believe the church stunts your progression here on earth?

I agree. Atlas remains popular, but thinkers have punched so many holes in it over the years that it comes off as a self-indulgent morality play.

A very over-rated book.

I read it a couple of Summers ago and struggled to get through the laborious nature of it.

Hence Moroni's loose robe allowing Joseph to look into his bosom. No garments for the resurrected angelic messengers.
