Some thoughts on Opposition in All Things
One more scriptural passage that Mormons bastardize to conform their sense of their cosmic importance. I have never ceased to be amazed at their propensity for doing that. We've all heard it a million times, and it is invariably interpreted to mean that they are constantly so important that no less ...

Re: Strongly worded SLTrib op-Ed, Utah protects 'penitent' abusers.
It has reached the stage where people confess to their bishops precisely because they know damn well that there will be no consequences of they choose that route.

Re: Thousands Oppose Jeffrey Holland's Commencement Speech
The right to protest is inviolable. As for the right to prohibit speech I don't like, there are lines which must not be crossed. With Holland and the rest of the Q-15, they have reached the stage in society where they cannot be held accountable, and the only way to break their stranglehold is to dis...

Re: Thousands Oppose Jeffrey Holland's Commencement Speech
Actually, while I greatly sympathise with the SUU students, I have to confess to some ambivalence about suppressing not only speech that one might disagree with, but a speech made by someone whose previous remarks one disagrees with. Is this really the best way to handle the matter, especially on a...

Re: Backyard Professor Responds to David Bednar: Does Mormonism Have the Spiritual Gifts?
I will forever regret that I was too naïve to understand Dave when I was his home teacher many years ago. It would have explained a lot. By all means, spill the beans. What's he like in real life? When I knew him, he seemed like a pretty innovative person regarding the church. He was a grad student...

Re: Why the goal-setting craze of 1970?
In hindsight it was one more example of the church robbing people of their youth. All the acceptable goals were of the kind to make a CEO get excited. You were given a list of required goals and then you came up with your own set in addition. There were things like completing projects and career tra...
