Brian was a good friend, we shared some great times together, since he lives near my home. I think he was instrumental in keeping me sane through the whole idea of faith crisis. I'd love to learn more about the GoFundMe for his family.
warmest regards to you all.

Re: TR Question Survey - Question 10b: Word of Wisdom
great to see that these topics are still relevant. i think we have to grapple with the idea that revelation comes line upon line and precept upon precept, and historical "revelation" often reflects the "lesser portion of god's word which he doth impart to the children of men." of...

Re: Need Opinions/Help with the "Us vs Them" Mentality
My immediate question was: "how does the knowledge of love put people in direct opposition to God?" The problem is when I read "good" or "righteousness" I instinctively see it as "Love" or synonymous with "charity" or "the love of God." Ob...

Re: Passive attack in priesthood
I speak up regularly - slowly, softly, and in orthodox terms. I do it in any meeting I am attending, no matter who else is there. Why?

Re: Need Opinions/Help with the "Us vs Them" Mentality
The problem with "Us vs Them" in the church may be our greatest sin. Instead of embracing the love of god, we put ourselves in the place of god and judge others. When we do this, we sever ourselves from the love of god. As mormons, our baptismal covenant is best expressed in Mosiah 18: to ...

Re: Passive attack in priesthood
If we don't speak up, they win. If we walk out, they win. if we do speak up, then we might get censured. But it's a price worth paying. I have come to realize that in the wake of the "Policy Revelation", I need to stay, witness, and above all, love. I don't think we can go wrong if we focu...

Re: Push the button or "Stay LDS"
I love that damn button.
But I'm pretty sure that any "truth" it provides, is just as contingent as that which resides in my own mind.
or yours.
