I know that most here already understand this but it is worth putting it in writing again. All the comments about missing context, history, and background for the online people you are talking to is equally true for the people you know in real life. Apart from those you are truly closest to, and may...

Maybe I'm the crazy guy in these parts but when I look back on my time as Mormon the temple is one of the few things I remember fondly. Obviously a fair bit of that is tied into the fact that it is where my wife and I were married but it is more than that. I enjoyed getting to go with her and taking...

I suppose I see it in two competing ways. 1) We are all peering through a narrow window when looking into each other's lives. We don't know any of the hardships, victories, challenges, cultural impacts, or any number of other thousand things that can alter who we are and how we post here. Our online...

What a fascinating thread, thanks for the great read everyone. To the topic of the Book of Abraham being a case of mistaken canonization. Trying to put my member glasses back on for a second it provides more questions for me than answers. If you accept this as true as a believer doesn't it then call...

Sorry - I feel as if I didn't explain myself very well. I didn't mean to say that I have any reservations about Xenophon as mod, only that I feel as if I "know" the others, from their posting history, and I don't know Xenophon in the same way. Xeno, my apologies if I seemed to be expressing any dou...

Apart from Xenophon, I've seen them post over several years between here and the mormondiscussions board. I don't remember, or cannot id, Xenophon from the old board. OTOH, I trust Shades' judgement on this decision. If it helps malkie I'm not sure the two of us ever had a direct interaction and I'...

Dean Robbers, With your God powers, can you ascertain whether access to the IP addresses can be revoked for moderators? This is a great question that I don't want to get burried in the debate. Regardless of whoever winds up being selected it is worth looking into. apologies if I missed the reply

No apology necessary. I think we were on different lines of thought - thanks for the clarity, I am with you now! :) My point is this: if a believer from MD&D wants to post here but won't for fear of being overwhelmed and they won't leverage the tools available to them, what can be done? Nothing. Li...

Hey again Xeno I suppose for me, if you are feeling overwhelmed but also decide not to leverage any of the tools (both those built in the board but also in your actions) to help with that I find it hard to know where to go from here. I don't think I ever said I was overwhelmed. I posted my thoughts...
