Re: Biden's Economy?

3.5%? Wouldn’t that be the lowest in decades if not more? I wonder how they calculate that taking into account 64,000,000 Americans are receiving some form of SSA or SSI? Pretty great news, though! - Doc To be included in the unemployment statistics, you have to be trying to find a job. I can’t rec...

Re: Ward new years eve dance

Yeah, we did that, too. My Bishop was in a band that played dance music. They would play for ward dances. They did a rendition of Black Satin Doll that was to die for.

Re: Faithful TBM to doubter in 6 hours on ex-Mormon Reddit

I don't see the similarities either. Both have very different theologies. Both speak with different voices. Their argument style isn't similar. The only significant thing I see that they have in common is that they appear to have raised the ire of the same community members. Res Ipsa, thank you for...

Re: 7 years sex abuse of a child covered up by LDS leaders

I agree. Reading a quote like this from a lawyer makes me nauseated: They did nothing wrong -- they just allowed a girl to suffer sexual abuse for years. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: It’s just a “money grab.” I would think the first lesson in PR In something like this would be to not blame the victi...

Re: God Creation

You have to re-insert them into a normal way of life, and that requires devoting human and financial resources to doing so. You can, for instance, make it possible for people to come out of prison into a worthwhile job in a supportive environment. One example of how that can be done is here - Timps...

Re: God Creation

If you don’t have that sense, there are ways to develop it. What would be your motivation for developing this sense of commonality? I try to cultivate it in myself, so here are the reasons why I do that. First, it reduces my overall level of anger and frustration, which leads me to treat my family,...

Re: 7 years sex abuse of a child covered up by LDS leaders

I don't know how the Kirton McConkie lawyers can live with themselves with the advice they give to too many bishops and stake presidents. Covering up abuse simply cannot be tolerated. Shame on you and I hope your conscience gets the better of you and makes you suffer like the girl in the above arti...

Re: DCP Exploits Vin Scully's Death for Mopologetics

My sense of this phenomenon is that religious people like to know that a beloved famous person who recently passed was also religious. I don't know that there is much more to this mention than that. I agree. It's customary to mention a person's religion in their obituary or tribute in the mainstrea...

Re: America First

Me too. Maybe some future draft picks…. LOL Maybe there are better options, but probably not by much. The reality is we probably don't have anyone wrongfully imprisoned that the Russians want, so it will most likely always be some very bad people. Maybe not having to pay to house this guy in a US p...
