Re: Thread in Paradise Forum

Is anyone able to give a synopsis of how the LDS church is connected to the abuse? I understand the entire family are/were members. Is there something more? Not really interested in watching a bunch of youtube videos. ETA - Guess I should have looked down the forum list. There is already another thr...

Re: Temple stories - good, bad, funny?

When I was a youth we met at the church for a youth temple trip. There were two entrances/exits to the church parking lot and most people used one exit. For whatever reason, when we were all leaving to head to the temple (an adult or two per vehicle with a bunch of youth) the adults took us out the ...

Re: Jeff Holland hospitalized

Third. I too would like to see some discussion here from the advocate. Disagreeing with the brethren is the unpardonable sin of Mormonism. I disagree with you on this. :D Disagreeing with the brethren is generally not an issue in the church. It's vocalizing the disagreement that they don't like. Em...

Re: Jeff Holland hospitalized

I've got to expect that, even for someone who truly believes in heaven and being together forever, that having your spouse of 60 years die must be heartbreaking. Even though I don't agree with Holland on many matters, I do wish him solace and comfort in this difficult time. What matters do you disa...

Re: Thousands Oppose Jeffrey Holland's Commencement Speech

I'm not sure free speech is the issue at hand here. It would be one thing if Holland were invited to talk to the SUU Mormon Club and there were protests, but that is not the case. Rather, Elder Holland has been invited to speak at commencement, something that is usually attended by near all graduati...

Re: Relatives of Utah family mass shooting release statement

The only thing that made sense to me is that the husband, the perpetrator, removed all the guns from the house before returning to do the deed because "all adults had been properly trained" to defend themselves against him, should they have had access. Assuming this is right, then it just goes to s...
