Re: ‘A slap in the face’: LDS Relief Society leaders ordered off the stand
I'll admit I have a hard time feeling bad for anybody here. The kind of institution that orders a class of people off the stand is the kind of institution that has stands in the first place. Will it be a huge advancement for women if women are also allowed to be general authorities and help cover u...

Tonight at 6:20 (Mountain Time) I will be interviewed on “Mormonism Live” with Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon.

Re: Church comments on SEC settlement
No. It was to show that there wasn’t some kind of nefarious intent. That the Brethren’s motivations were benign in respect to the members of the church. Earlier someone said that their motivation is all about profits. I then asked “why”. No answer was forthcoming. The prevailing opinion here is tha...

Re: How the Mighty Fall
I'm not sufficiently familiar with the stages model to assess the assignment of specific church/corporate behaviors to the typology of stages, but good lord that was a fantastic read!

Taking one for the team.
