Re: LDS Church found guilty of misconduct. $4.2million damag

First of all, I don't hate the Church. I'm still an active member. However, I do think that the Church's policy of bishops routinely being allowed to interview minors, and, as Mayan pointed out, serving as untrained social workers is just plain stupid. To top that off, the Church rules should expli...

Re: How not to do Anti-Discrimination Legislation

This is bound to challenged in the courts. I doubt this law will remain as written for very long. Maybe, just maybe, that was the the Utah legislature wanted. Pass a law that is looks good but really is not all that good. Wait for a religious oppressing homosexual to challenge the law, which legal ...

Re: Is the Church in a position to reintroduce plural marria

is the Church now in a position where it could reintroduce plural marriage? No, but the world might be approaching a point that will force the church into having to. Shortly after gay marriage is legalized at the federal level, if not at the same time, polygamy will also be made legal. When that ha...

Re: From My Informant: Changes Afoot at the New MI?

Once again, I have received a series of fascinating "communiques" from an "informant." First, though, let me provide a bit of a backdrop. Close readers of the classic-FARMS Mopologists' blogs may have noticed an odd subtext to some of the comments and postings. For example, when...
