Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

And that’s where the idea that temple rituals must be done on earth for all those who are dead flounders. Because there are people who have been born, lived, and died, without any record of their existence. To facilitate those people there must needs be another way. And if there’s another way, then...

In my opinion, we should publish only what is submitted. We ought not create entries on behalf of anyone else.

The completeness you seek will be found in saying, “This is the complete collection of all essays that have been submitted to us.”
OK, Shades. The title will be changed accordingly.

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

Religious freedom is the freedom to practice one’s religion for oneself. It’s not the right to practice their religion on others not of your faith. It’s not the right, for instance, to harvest the names and details of holocaust victims in order to conduct a ritualistic baptism into Mormonism on the...

That’s an incredible statement. Of course it is. Most people causing car accidents don’t intend to cause harm to others, but their victims certainly are harmed.
Yeah, I understand that. But causing a car accident is quite different from inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings.

Re: (Auto)biographical Dictionary of MDB/DM

It's hard to say, but I would bet that some people would have found it intrusive and would be angry. And that's before we even start talking about entries for monologists. ;) My own experience is that what people find and do not find intrusive varies widely from person to person. It's a tricky issu...

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

Okay so it looks like the exchanges are back to the subject of vicarious baptism and possible harm. I'd like to throw in my 2 cents for what it's worth. Stay with me... Some of my growing up church girlfriends and I have a small Facebook messenger group where we share news with and of each other. O...

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

I think you're confusing the concept of harm with the concept of intent. I can harm you by transmitting COVID to you even though I was unaware I was contagious. That I lack intent to harm is not relevant to the question of whether harm occurred. Yes, I conflated the two because I think the whole di...

Re: Eternal marriage & temple endowment handshakes, tokens, signs & passwords

No, I don’t think so. Triggering past trauma without intending to do so is not harm. No one knows what might trigger someone’s trauma, and when they do so without intending harm they are not harming that person, in my opinion. Now, I think it is absolutely the right thing to do to respect the wishes...

Re: Anyone run a business Facebook page? I have questions.

I wish I knew the answer to these questions. I would love to know how to start/run a business Facebook page. I think I'm close to taking over the page. I'm publicity for a group I'm a member of. The current admin (who relocated) saw the lead ins I did for the group's announcements that I did on ano...
