I do not have an answer.

that is the funniest damn thing. i am laughing so damn hard. you would think that Amazon just merged with ExxonMobil and is expressing their heartfelt plan to radicalize the delivery of gasoline to women. all women. every single woman. and if you have any willingness to contribute to this sincere plan, please donate or consume. thank you, all, so, so very much.
Yes. You are right. It just dawned on me why this type of corporate business model is so disgusting to me. It sounds like what I would expect to hear at a god damn church meeting with the Q15.

Because I didn't know. Don't read Reddit. Am banned from the Mormon Stories Podcast Group. I keep John blocked for my own safety. Kate's had me blocked since the excommunication days because she didn't like what I told her about Dehlin during her heyday and she didn't like me standing up to her publicly.
Funny, I started unblocking the people related to this conflict yesterday and today and I had no idea this drama was going on. I made a decision at the worst of it all to just rid my life of the people who either remained neutral after they knew the details (this really hurt my feelings as it was not a neutral situation), and the people who were most aggressive towards me without knowing the details. And I was unblocking based on the hope it was all over..... sigh.
Dehlin's recent Director of Operations job description was a perfect description of what I did for pennies for the Open Stories Foundation until he got rid of me so he could take all the money for his family, etc. etc. etc. He is not a good man, but he is sure good at faking it.
Anyway... my advice would be... don't put any money in the Open Stories Foundation. Instead, go around the Open Stories Foundation and give money directly to the women themselves. Dehlin won't release any URL's and he owns all the podcasters' content, so they're stuck unless they start over alone. His plan is to take advantage of other people. He does so with intent.

Your uh... Your syntax reads just like Kate Kelly's syntax. Are you unequivocally stating that you are, in fact, not Kate Kelly? I just want this on the record so readers have a clear idea of who you are.

I am unequivocally not Kate Kelly.
I last saw Kate Kelly in person at Sunstone 2014. I have not spoken to her directly since Circling the Wagons Washington DC 2012 when she ran a panel for me. I think she blocked me after her excommunication and before John's, but I can't remember exactly.
Kate Kelly and I have very little in common besides, I suppose, our writing styles? Idk.....

Thanks for clarifying! I certainly didn't want to assume you were somebody you're not.
Why does she have such a beef with you? You both seem to mirror each other's feminist approach to Mormonism and John Dehlin. It seems odd that you two are at odds.

not to speak for rosebud. but i think they are completely opposite on both those fronts. completely opposite.
kate kelly may have had a dustup with dehlin in the last 24 hours, but even with that, i could not have a more different opinion that what is in the quote here.
