Republican state officials in Georgia are being mau-maued on a daily basis because someone totally irresponsible set them on this course of action. People can get pretty extreme when religion is involved. Indeed, Moksha! That is why the church is run by milquetoast managers and works through lawyer...

Agreed that any focus whatsoever on these silly cruises is just, well, silly. The question I am interested in fact-checking via the money trail is this: is LDS church the largest single donor to these "external" apologetic enterprises? Agreeing to agree: I totally agree about the cruises. It is a p...

I am perpetually puzzled by Juliann and Calm defending people like Kwaku with whataboutism tactics. Presumably, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is about acting in a manner consistent with the teachings of Christ. ³⁸You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." ³⁹But I say ...

One of the most shocking aspects of this latest kerfuffle between John Dehlin and FAIRMormon is the revelation on John's Dehlin's most recent podcast that the non-profits behind things like FAIRMormon and TITS are out-earning and outspending outfits like Mormon Stories and the CES letter many times ...

Over at the Great and Specious board, Cinepro made the point that the video used the real-life names John Dehlin and Jeremy Runnells in showing their deaths at the hands of FAIRMormon and Kwaku, rather than Mormon Stories and the CES Letter. How would you respond to a character bearing your real-li...

By the way Shades, this is the one I will keep, but I am not coming back to post anything substantial for some time. I see no gain in it after it keeps happening over and over again that you people abuse me, and then accuse me of emotional issues. I would recommend posting in Celestial next time, E...

So here's the rub. T.I.T.S and StoneXIV have decided that Mormonism is their tribe and are defending it like a tribe. You don't need to defend the tribe because of evidence showing why the tribe is doing things well and others would gain from following their example. It's just a pep rally for "youn...

If you are referring to when I said "many tried," I think I was not clear. I was not referring to lds believers. I meant many posters here, in this thread, tried to respond appropriately to bob/fred/bob2/fred2/Ed, but his emotional challenges led him to reject sincere overtures in favor of indiscri...

Yes, we have so many believing LDS who try posting here. It would be more accurate to say that most never try in the first place. Point taken.

I feel sympathetic for Ed, too. And, I wish people were more accepting of a wider range of possible ways of seeing things in this world. I also wish they didn't treat others who think differently in such an insulting way. Actually, I feel a great deal of affinity with Ed, and I sort of feel like I a...
