Re: John Dehlin Stake President update 8/23/14
I would say that lately his posts on Facebook have a tone of emotional separation from the church.
A couple of years ago I would have called John very emotionally invested in the church. He seems a lot less so now. Just the feeling I get from the way he words things now.
He may just be losing interest. I know I am.

james patterson is the guy at mosto? he was made an admin of the Mormon stories Facebook group during the nytimes/katekelly/disciplinary media blitz. looks like he is now in charge at the podcasts too.

i believe her and dehlin "settled." i do not think there is much to update. i saw she participated in circling the wagons but i believe her involvement in all things Mormon has waned to nothing. sounds like her personal life is getting busier and she is not involved in this mess at all.

okay. I have been reading this thread and she seemed really damn sure she had something on Dehlin whatever that means and Dehlin seemed really damn sure she had nothing on him. I did not know there was a settlement.

The Memory Hole. Sometimes it can be a good thing. This was one ugly thread.

I think it's clear to many who observe you that you are not well, and that it is you who needs to move on. I hope you will. For your sake, and for that of your family.
P.S. If you don't want your name included in these discussions, then please stop maligning me publicly without any credible evidence. That makes no sense. Think about it. I have avoided speaking about you in public AT YOUR REQUEST. But if you continue to show this obsessive need to malign me publicly without evidence, then I have no choice but to respond. If you want this to be over (as you claim), then stop
bringing your drama to the Internet. It's that simple.
Definitely a very ugly thread. If I were John, I would delete these types of statements. Not really good for a professional in the field of psychology to have these types of outbursts.
I am just glad there was a "settlement" between Rosebud and John. Does anyone know if this was some sort of legal settlement or was it something like I will stay away from such and such turf?

What settlement are you talking about? Rosebud was here making threats Jan 29th of this year.lostindc wrote:I am just glad there was a "settlement" between Rosebud and John. Does anyone know if this was some sort of legal settlement or was it something like I will stay away from such and such turf?

Not seeing the threats in what you linked; only an explanation from Rosebud as to why she has not provided more detail about her interactions with John Dehlin. I think her concerns are well-founded. Others may disagree. That's fine. But don't say she is "making threats" when she is actually doing the exact opposite.RockSlider wrote:What settlement are you talking about?

What a coincidence, we were just talking about this in the other thread. Do you really consider this an attack on her?lostindc wrote:mormonstories wrote:[real name deleted] (Rosebud) - Your threats don't intimidate me.
