He was/is a prominent figure in his ward, and resigning was going to cause a stir no matter what. I get that he wanted to control the narrative. One of the first things members would think is that there was some sort of sexual/law of chastity reason, and the church would never stop that reason from ...

Do you really think people pay for porn via their hotel room entertainment services?!? Plus Marriott doesn’t actually own most of the hotels, they wouldn’t be able to franchise if they restricted things like alcohol sales in their brand. I don’t really care how they invest it in the markets, the iss...

I will need to find my journal and see what I wrote about it. I was all in at the time and I remember it messed with my head a bit. It was a very difficult mission, very few investigators, so I spent my 2 years walking the streets, guessing door codes to get in apartment buildings, climbing 8-12 fli...
