Re: hereafter: "not the place where families will be reunite
In a way, I think it unfortunate that Mormon belief in eternal families is now being turned against them. Now others are saying, "We always believed in eternal families, so Mormons are insulting us by saying they are the only ones with eternal families." This seems to me to be kind of an ...

Re: An Unusual Turn of Events
The self promoting kind who might write a book about their 'miraculous' reconversion. The behavior of the poster in question was completely opposite from what one would expect in someone claiming to come back to belief. So I am not buying what he is selling. He was a complete a**hole on here and tr...

Re: Personhood and Abortion Rights
Keep in mind, and I think you are old enough to recall this, that we come from a generation (or at least I do) in which a girl pregnant out of wedlock was publicly shamed, humiliated, and often times sent away to have her baby or forced to put it up for adoption by her parents or in some cases forc...

though it rests on some shaky comparisons between the risk and inconvenience of pregnancy Along with the highest maternal mortality rates among industrialized nations we now see a large increase in serious complications for women.

Re: Getting Beyond the Lie: Historical Mythmaking
One aspect of the whole Bill Reel affair that sticks with me as a historian is the recurring refrain of "lie." Bill sees the LDS Church as an organization founded on lies and that today it is sustained by the same dishonesty, which he has fought by telling the truth. Bill thus constructs ...

Re: 40th High School Reunion
I was listening, too, but all sorts of negative emotions were running through me. Suddenly I was on the inside of the group, listening to them plan strategy on how to get somebody else baptized. It hit me that when I was on the outside of this group, they were no doubt having similar discussions ab...

Re: Sarah Sanders kicked out of Virginia Restaurant
Or get sarcasm. You really talked pass cafe crema because you failed to understand what she was saying. Went away still pissed, there is a very big difference between respecting what some one does and pitying them for doing it. Condescending comes in when one feels you are being nice to the overwor...

Re: Sarah Sanders kicked out of Virginia Restaurant
I think that working in a restaurant, whether kitchen side or service side, is a really demanding job most of the time. I don't know what you classify as a 'real job', but it certainly provides an essential service in the modern world, and people don't choose it because it is easy money. You astoun...
