Coming from someone who I would consider to be the most prolific liar on this board
You're a hypocrite, Wang.
Fibster MG,
I've noticed you're starting to lash out in anger again at posters. That usually happens when you've been caught in one of your (too numerable to count) lies.
Usually what happens is that you take a break for a while to cool down and collect your thoughts. Might I suggest the same course of action before you sully what little is left of your reputation? Remember, by your own admission you are here as a missionary for the lurkers or anyone who might come across this board.
Right now, your dishonest, sexist and angry behavior is not reflecting well on you or your missionary efforts. Remember, people are asking themselves why would I want to belong to a religion that has turned a lifelong member like Fibster MG into a sexist, dishonest, angry little man.
You can do better. You can be better. I want you to be the best Fibster MG you can be.
The Church is caught between a rock and a hard place, with some members of the Quorum upholding the love of God and Jesus, and some still clinging to the white and delightsome doctrines that align with Trumpism and the Third Reich.
From Utah County to Flagstaff, Arizona, they are Trumpers. Hard to imagine the Church even has any Hispanic members left.
MG makes a good pharisaical case for why the Church is right on not speaking out for justice for all members. They need to obey the law, stay in their own country, or else report to the alligator concentration camp for deportation. The Gospel will not protect them from right-thinking action.

In practice, however, folks generally are not going around and asking those they work with or go to church with what their immigration status is.
At least that's what I've observed and been hearing.

Wonder if the white Church members can pick up any cues? Does the bishop have this information.
…the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration presses on, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is reminding its bishops and other lay leaders that they are not to ask members about their immigration status in temple interviews
That position was reaffirmed in a letter this week from the faith’s governing First Presidency to all general officers and local male authorities who conduct “worthiness interviews” with members desiring to participate in temple rituals.
“With enhanced enforcement of immigration laws in various jurisdictions, we have received inquiries from priesthood leaders about temple recommend interview questions,” states the April 24 letter signed by church President Russell M. Nelson and his two counselors. “We remind those conducting temple recommend interviews that under established policy, local leaders are to ask only the temple recommend questions as currently constituted.”
There was a thread recently where we discussed if being an illegal immigrant rendered an individual unworthy of a temple recommend. It’s not clear cut. The Church is instructing Bishops that this falls under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” protocols.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.
The Trump Administration is following the law and cleaning up the mess that was left.
MG, quick question. As a brown belt, how nervous were you preparing for your black belt? Was the transition from brown to black a bigger hurdle than working up through the lower belts?
I will point out one thing about the church. It's great it's helping with affected people. The quotes you provided are fascinating though. The degree the Church is concerned about tip-toeing over the line and drawing harsh boundaries on where our help ends such as to avoid getting the Church into any kind of legal debacle is interesting. Especially compared to lengths that it goes in taking legal risks when it comes to getting out of paying taxes.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Not angry. Amused.
If nothing else, you're entertaining!
You never know what's coming next!

MG can you explain to me why the common thread amongst amateur and professional Mormon apologists alike is a dismissive, arrogant, and confrontational attitude?
Is that a fruit of the spirit per the Bible or does that mean something else as defined by your prophets and apostles (who are of course fallible)?
You’re showing the exact same attitude here that’s common amongst Mormon ePologists. Aggressive victimhood. God forbid any other non-LDS interlocutor not treat Mormonism with kid gloves but you feel free to attack others. Why?

The only common trait across Mormon ePologists, and Mormon apologists, that I think you’ve missed is a lack of intellectual honesty. They are always caught not telling the whole truth, or ignoring balance, or simply making stuff up.

After watching, reading, and listening to Mormon ePologists I’ve begun to assume that such behavior is already the baseline and the next is a bad attitude.
