Thanks, Boomer57. malkie I thank Boomer as well. I was not trying to give you a hard time. Instead i wanted to suggest to MG that the actual link has observations of some potential value. huck, thanks, but I didn't think of your comment as in any way intended to give me a hard time - I don't see yo...

It is always fun to see the funhouse mirror effect of DCP’s take on the “bad and wrong” things (in his view) others say on this board. He gets some aspects of this so woefully backwards that it makes me concerned for his well being. Speaking of the funhouse mirror effect, in one of the proprietor's...

I just wanted to indicate that, if god is involved, there are alternatives to the standard apologetic. Since I haven't watched the BYP episode in question, I have nothing to say about Lundwall's observations. What did he say?

The mere possibility of many mundane ways of getting onto the roof, even if we can...

I'm not sure if this is a proper response to your request, Res, and I'm aware that its application is much wider than Church and Child Abuse , but here are my thoughts after reading your OP. It is not for nothing that the requirement for obedience is sometimes portrayed as the first law of heaven, a...

The story is from Where the Red Fern Grows. https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/redfern/section2/#:~:text=His%20grandfather%20shows%20him%20how,doesn%27t%20catch%20a%20coon. I have no idea whether this was an actual method used for catching raccoons. Ahhh, but there is no need for it to have been an act...

There you have it. The Bishop cannot help without the abuser facing the legal consequences of his actions. It's game over. By necessity, the Bishop must also ignore the needs of the victim(s), and cannot assist them in receiving help to stop the abuse, or treat the trauma from the abuse. Even if th...

Well, I think those SLC Mormons need to learn from another branch of Mormondom: https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/399968667_7096647953707626_5062412341029066068_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=DyzMKIIxKzsAX-xQsMM&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.xx&oh=00_AfB2YwrJH2zGxc9CnDFdh...
