Re: Bandwagon effects & Mormonism's online comeuppance

The tidbit about The More Good Foundation was especially interesting: I have always viewed it as a fundamentally Mopologetic organization—basically, a secretive funding arm that would help finance and enable things like FAIR, or Allen Wyatt’s infamous cyber-squatting. More recently, Louis Midgley c...

Re: Bandwagon effects & Mormonism's online comeuppance

The SCMC is pretty useless at this point, unless they have several thousand employees that can scour the internet everyday. I predict the Church's Instagram page will stop allowing comments. The alternative is to heavily moderate the comments, further alienating Mormon women who already feel they h...

Re: Latter-day Saints have the highest rate of weekly church attendance

I’ve spoken with 2 of them. They are shaking with a mix of overflowing rage and excitement about discovering a coll...

Re: Mothers in Zion - why they're leaving

Oh, and the comments are back up! 11,700 and counting.

This is amazing to see the women of the church rise up in a united voice calling out the gaslighting.
