Re: For Immediate Release: Dehlin du Jour

Just so I'm clear... John Dehlin thought it okay to publish factually correct things about the Church that they'd rather he hadn't published and which subsequently upset them. John Dehlin is now upset that someone published factually correct things about him that he'd rather hadn't been published. ...

Re: Oaks reacts to criticism, makes things worse.

Essentially, boiled down to the most basic of basics, the church wants other legal entities to not be able to discriminate, while reserving the right to discriminate to itself.

Another classic "do as I say, not as I do" case.

Re: Laffertys influenced family suicide

Why were they allowed to talk on the phone for "hours"?

Is that standard prison procedure?

Re: Missionary collapses and dies after ward sports activity

He died from a heart attack. Very sad for his family and friends. Even more worthy of news coverage is the guy whose pickup was smashed into a pancake between two semi trucks in the Baker City accident with dozens of other vehicles, and he walked away from it unhurt. Look for the story to be used in...

Re: LDS Leaders: Irrelevant to Their Supposed Followers

What does this mean? What 'things' are being moved along expeditiously, and what 'program and practice adjustments' are pushing that? The four fold mission of the church. m Program and practice adjustments are being made each and every day...wouldn't you think? With an international church in many ...

Isn't all housing for BYU students approved by the housing department? Maybe this isn't at BYU?

Re: Polygamy now legal in Utah, sort of.

Something from the article that took me by surprise... According to a Pew research poll, 86 percent of Mormons think polygamy is morally wrong. Really? I wonder if 86% of Mormons think God was being morally wrong when he gave Joseph D&C 132 and an instruction to live polygamously... I'd be will...

Re: Utah is #49 in women's equality ...

The church doesn't care what anyone else thinks about equality. Which is probably why Utah ranks so far down the equality list.

The church also doesn't care about changing that rank. Which is probably why the growth in places that do care about equality has slowed to a virtual standstill.

Re: Elder Ballard explains female equality on Ward Councils.

I absolutely believe they posted it. Time and again the church leaders opt to cinch the controls tighter rather than loosen them when an issue gains press. Probably this is part of their response to those pesky women asking for the Priesthood. Get back in line and shush. Right on time, too. GC is r...

Re: John Dehlin Stake President update 8/23/14

I entered this bunfight because I think John Dehlin has been mislabelled a misogynist on dodgy grounds and I object to the bandying about of the term "narcissist" ( which is a diagnostic term ). John Dehlin declared his intention to withdraw from the thread and the slander continued unaba...
