Re: Did LDS leaders get the vaccine because of preferential treatment?
And if the vaccine was able to be given more quickly because of the standing lack of separation of church and state in Utah, thus constituting that the choice was based on unethical, possibly illegal behavior, then I disagree the preferable choice was made. From a public health (and scientific) sta...

Re: David 'My Words Are Scripture' Bednar lowers the bar for miracles
Larry King was in my ward years ago. He would attend occasionally, and he could never stop making comments in Sunday School. One week, we were talking about miracles in the Old Testament, and Larry (sitting on the other side of the room) raised his hand and asked "How are you defining 'miracle'?" A ...

Re: Did LDS leaders get the vaccine because of preferential treatment?
The objection in the OP was not to at-risk persons getting the vaccine, the objection was to the confusion between church and state in Utah, resulting in ALL lds church leaders and their spouses, en masse, jumping to the head of the line. If there's a good reason for that, that does NOT involve vio...

Re: Did LDS leaders get the vaccine because of preferential treatment?
That’s exactly the question being posed Lem. How did they as a group to the front of the over 70’s queue? Those 70 year olds in Utah still waiting for their lucky number to come up deserve an answer. No they don't. Vaccine doses are limited, so there is no inherent benefit or harm to society from a...

Re: Did LDS leaders get the vaccine because of preferential treatment?
Did you read the OP? Age is not the issue: When it comes to giving vaccines, there are two possible strategies: 1. Vaccinate the most at-risk to reduce deaths at the "end point." 2. Vaccinate those who are most likely to spread the virus to those who are at risk. Since we have done a terrible job a...

Re: misleading essay on 'sexism in the exmocommunity'
...The exMormon community mostly follows (and funds) three prominent white men who they regularly refer to as first presidency of exMos, and they don’t seem to see the irony in that. Sure, there are female voices in the exMormon media sphere, but they are about as prominent (and paid as well, compa...

Re: 92,000 BSA sex abuse claims
I am curious about how this works. My memory of scouting was there was no occasion I can remember where we were alone and vulnerable to a predatory leader. So how did this work in those places there was a problem? I was unaware of any problem happening.In an LDS setting how did a leader bypass the ...
