Re: Covid Survey
We've all heard the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." My dad used to riff on this by saying, "Absence makes the heart go wander." I think that both of those things are true. Another way to put it is "If you love someone, set them free. If they don't return, they ...

Covid Survey
There's been a lot of talk in Mormon online spaces and the bloggernacle claiming that church participation has been way down since Covid. I've observed something similar, although I'm not 100% sure. For me, yes, it had a big impact. We run a recurring service cleaning business, and we always warn ou...

Shout Out from Wheat & Tares today
Gospel Tangents published a short post with snippets of an interview he did with John Dehlin, and part of the discussion included this forum which John originally created many years ago. I thought the post was great with a lot of interesting factoids, so I thought I'd link it here: https://wheatandt...

Funny Post
I thought a few of you might get a laugh from a post I pulled together this week from Twitter. There were two prompts in Twitter that had quite a few funny replies: - "I was so Mormon I . . ." (tell a funny thing you used to do when you were a younger Mormon that you now think is ridiculou...

Re: Jeffrey Holland's recent address to faculty and staff at BYU
I actually think Worthen's been pretty great overall, but I have no illusions that the hate speech kid will have any consequences applied to him. A great president < the board of trustees.
Also, minor inconvenience to conservatives > actual death threats and hate speech to liberals.

DarkJedi: I don't know if you saw this, but within 72 hours, a petition was started up to eliminate the Office of Belonging. Yep, that's right, the Karens are in charge now, and even though they got to speak to the manager, it wasn't enough.

Re: Jeffrey Holland's recent address to faculty and staff at BYU
I don’t know what the end game will be, but it shouldn’t be a whole class of people that can’t hold hands on campus. People that are “othered,” fretted and prayed over as though there is something wrong with them. Here's another way of stating the problem in the Church. Which of these two people (i...

I guess I feel like it's time to call a spade a spade. They are bigots. The church is FULL of bigots. They cater to the bigots because they agree with them.

Re: Cognitive Dissonance in Primary
Nothing much to add other than a funny coffee thing. My daughter told me in high school that basically ALL the early morning seminary kids developed a post-seminary coffee habit to cope with the lack of sleep, which I found both funny and sad, but mostly funny. Their parents don't know because I'm n...

Re: Definitions from President Oaks
Old Timer: I am not sure that is a fair statement, given all of its implications and what I know of what he actually has said in his lifetime (as well as our actual theology about who is saved and who can be exalted, even from the most orthodox perspective). It might or might not be true, but it is ...
