Re: Greatest Movies of All Time

Coming in late, I'll skip the ones commonly mentioned and add some of my favorites that don't usually make these lists: The Castle (1997) - Quirky Australian comedy. I actually like the American release from Miramax a little better. Goodbye Lenin (2003) -Excellent comedy about the fall of the Berlin...

Re: Is DCP's New Film Already Dead?

Remember when Savannah had her microphone turned off during sacrement meeting? https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2017/06/20/coming-out-as-mormon-and-gay-trnd.cnn . I was just thinking about that. She must be ~18 now. Wonder how she's doing. The last I remember seeing about her was this VR production of...

Re: Worst Mormon Movies: A Personal List

"Singles 2nd Ward" is worth checking out. If I recall, it came out around the time of Richard Dutcher's disaffection, and there's a joke where they announce in Sacrament meeting "The fireside with Richard Dutcher has been postponed indefinitely..."

Re: Ward new years eve dance

The Los Angeles Stake had a big dance/party for new year's in 1999. Big band and everything. That's the last time I've seen anything like that. The youth dances are still going in my stake, and the DJ is really good. They get kids driving in from all over, and hundreds show up. But our neighboring S...

Re: Even More Stag, Extra Flation

m1.jpg Thanks for posting that chart. I post it whenever the subject comes up on social media and you have people from both sides throwing out theories about "corporate greed" or blaming Biden etc. As the chart shows, it's pretty clear what happened with the money supply during a period of lower pr...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

It notes that it was the Bishop who became concerned about the relationship between his Elders Quorum President and a young member of his ward. If you're saying the parents weren't aware and concerned, how are you understanding this part of the report? Even after the family ordered Davis to stay aw...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

3. How Mormon parents have been desensitised to the risks of predators amongst them by things like Bishops 1-2-1 worthiness interviews of minors. 4. Why the church needs to change it's policies and practices when it comes to access to minors. Ooh, so close. The parents were not "desensitized." They...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

Speaking of the requirements, everyone in my parish who wants to participate as a volunteer when children will be present has to have a background check. You are splitting hairs with this element of the argument. My point was that even if the Church had a background check policy for youth-related c...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

This just makes the case for background checks. But this would require background checks for every adult that moves into any ward, regardless of their calling. Has that ever been suggested? The case raises troubling questions about what Mormon church leaders knew about his past, whether red flags w...
