Re: Mormon Stories Question
Truly listening to others with empathy takes a lot of energy and love. Shame on you.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 7:19 pmSounds to me John makes more money than 99% of human inhabitants by sitting and listening to stories and not much more. Ok many say he interrupts and talks a lot himself, so he does that part too. I skimmed a transparency show he recently did, thinking he may divulge the finances, but it was more about how he's too busy by sitting with people 5 hours at a time, so he's cutting back on that...or something. And something about how hard it is to keep a following seeing as the exmormon population isn't that big in his view.

Re: Mormon Stories Question
Like a true narcissist, this guy thinks he knows what the diagnosis is for the day because, obviously, that is what this narcissist wants it to be. Fine then. If this narcissist wants it to be the diagnosis du jour, then that is what it is.

Re: Mormon Stories Question
I only use the term because we've all been privy to his very private, now public, texts to A.P. (rosebud) which give a very detailed insight into his personality.
He says the church is guilty of saying one thing and doing another, well John does that too.

I agree with you, kish. My point above was nothing more than suggesting he’s not doing all the busy work, if we can trust James (and it appears consig has confirmed somewhat) as another had claimed. And I or James could be wrong about that, thus my “sounds to me”.
I’m trying to be fair here, but it gets tough sometimes and no doubt my biases are coming through anyway.
All my best and thanks for keeping me honest.

Re: Mormon Stories Question
But it’s nice to have identified others in the crew. As much as we like to see ourselves as Lone woofs, it’s good to know we aren’t alone. Jesus taught me that.consiglieri wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 9:15 pmCalling everybody a narcissist pisses off those of us who truly are.

I really ought to back off Dehlin threads. But just wanted to say, drumdude, that makes sense.

Re: Mormon Stories Question
No worries, stem. It is impossible to judge fairly in an online discussion forum. My apologies for being judgmental in my comment.
