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...

It has been a dozen years since Facebook acquired Instagram, and more than two dozen years since Microsoft acquired Hotmail. Hotmail pioneered a marketing model known as "viral marketing." Instagram brought us "influencers" and the social "bandwagon effect," which seeks to create FOMO by demonstrati...

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

Re: Mothers in Zion - why they're leaving
Marcus, I personally know 5 women who commented on that post, where it was their first time vocalizing the deepest feelings of anger and frustration in a public forum. First time ever. 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.
