I can hardly wait to hear Maklelan's take on this new development. My take is that it is ill-conceived boundary maintenance and legal prophylaxis that will cause a great deal of harm. My LDS friends seem to be divided on it. Some feel that they need to "doubt their doubts," and they've be...

It's because this involves innocent children. Any time you mess around with innocent children, your ass is grass in my book, as well as many others. This. A million times. I have a few in real life friends who sent in their letters today after hearing the report. I wish I could resign my membership...

He reminds me of my dad a bit. And as with my father, I've often wondered whether he might be suffering from early-onset dementia, or if it's just really advanced trolling that is a product of boredom. It seems like he's unable to engage with or respond to material without missing the point in some...

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2015/09/the-mormon-modesty-wars-no-more-slut-shaming-please.html I confess that I haven’t noticed any supposed “epidemic” of “slut-shaming” in Mormonism.

I don't like the title of this YouTube video . Oh dear heavens. Following links in the related videos brought me to that video of Brandon Flowers (from the Killers) being publicly humiliated by Mormonism . Dawkins isn't cruel at all, he doesn't have to be.

My suggestion would be...don't respond. I wouldn't respond at all. The whole post is tactless and self-serving and I wouldn't validate that behavior in any way. ETA: If he wanted to have a sincere discussion with his brothers, this content belonged in a PM. Publicly tagging his brothers like this s...

Thanks everyone. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that she had passed, but she is actually still fighting this thing. She is receiving a special treatment up in Columbus Ohio at Nationwide Hospital, along with three other Battens children. Some pharmaceutical corporation is experimenting with a n...

I'm hopeful that this step forward will make room for a BSA that provides programming that is more inclusive, and more relevant to the issues and opportunities faced by young men today, and less beholden to the particular religious views of its more-radical constituents. It would be nice to see Scou...

Oh dear lord. I just can't even. Aoife, Was wondering when you were going to show up on this thread. Almost feel like I should try to explain and apologize for the likes of Ldsfaqs. But nowadays, I can just barely myself. Hahaha. Some phenomena don't deserve or require explanation. For my taste, he...
