Re: Brigham Young doesn’t deserve his online criticism

In an attempt to take the times into consideration, I'd start by asking what other "strong leaders" of new religious movements in modern times, movements that are often considered as cults by the wisdom of the day, might be regarded as people of great character and wisdom? A non-religious example, t...

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?

you're far too kind, Reverend. I haven't been part of every thread, if Tim has been treated poorly then that's a shame, as he's one of my favorites. Unfortunately for the few believers, to the extent that other members recognize them as traditional believers, they become the customer service rep and...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

The point is that there are thousands of video and articles shaming men who try to date women under 25. Google it. I realize that's the point, a point that you have not demonstrated. If these videos and articles are so plentiful, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find one. The burden of proof is...

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?

I think criticism is a good thing. Don't get me wrong. That said, the amount of unanswered criticism that occurs here practically invalidates the whole board. Some people just dismiss this place because it contains almost nothing but criticism. Some of the criticism here goes too far. I also think ...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

More misrepresentation, DT. The first link you posted to justify what you admitted was just your own personal observation without any hard data, is a YouTube program called "Older Men who date Younger Women are Predators?" -- with a question mark. You forgot the question mark. There's 246 views. R. ...

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?

If you're going to stand before millions of people and the whole world and say you're a prophet, seer, and revelator, or let it ride as others ordain you as such, then let the criticism fly. Nobody who claims to be God's mouthpiece on earth deserves protection from criticism. Criticism should be ple...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

True, but shaming men who date women in their 20s is a strategy to encourage women to avoid older men. The number of young women refusing to date older men is rapidly increasing. Since you have all these scientific studies, show me the study that says men in their 30s who date women in their 20s ar...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

And people shouldn't shame men who date 20 years olds.
Men who date 20-year-olds don't give a crap what people think or say. It might be different for little boys who happen to be in their 30s or forties and believes society owes them something.

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?

It's possible Holland is still a Chapel Mormon, and believes that calling and election means a visit from the Savior. All he got was this weird ceremony that anybody could have made up and say is super important. If somebody like say, the chief executive of a certain blog out there gets it, then he'...

Re: Stats prove when women are safer

so I don't see why an independent 20 year old woman dating a 30 year old man would be a concern I don't either. I doubt many people do. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if people are concerned, it matters if it's legal, which it is. So if a 60-year-old weirdo can convince an 18 year-old dep...
