Re: Bob Crockett Has A Meltdown On Mormondialogue

Crockett is wrong. On my mission, we gave out "Christ pamphlets" with the usual portrait, and it was customary to explain that the portrait was commissioned by Ezra Taft Benson, who gave hints and corrections to the artist in order to obtain the most accurate representation possible. Because the pr...

Re: Proclamations - do you have to agree with them?

I think the answer to your questions are it depends. It depends on what day it is, which way the wind is blowing and what the church needs it to be. The church is becoming like a punch drunk fighter. It has taken a lot of hard hits lately and it is no longer thinking of winning, but just surviving. ...

Re: Nepotism strong and thriving in Mormonism

Hey, these things happen in a family business. It's not like UVU is a regular public University. It exists as a place for LDS families to send their sons or daughters who cannot get into BYU. Consider it as a state-paid-for BYU extension. This is actually fairly accurate. However, there is a growin...

Re: Nepotism strong and thriving in Mormonism

How was he as a president? Was there anything special about him? I know an administrator at UVU that practically worships the man, but I suspect that this is because of his relationship to an Apostle. Growing up in Salt Lake City, G.A. kids would be worshiped just because. He wasn't terrible, but m...

Re: system status?

This is weird. I haven't been able access this site with Chrome for a couple of weeks. I finally deleted my saved bookmark and just googled mormondiscussions and the linked worked. I re-bookmarked it and I now have full site access using Chrome. The weird part is that I compare my newly bookmarked U...

Re: "Lost in Translation"--New RFM Podcast in Four Parts

Heads up consiglieri. 'Brother Lloyd over on the other board has brought up your Kwaku the deceiver pod cast and Kwaus's response, and is trying to spin it as a win for the Book of Abraham. Even from the faithful posters he is finding little support. I think most know that the Book of Abraham is not...

Re: Losing the power to manipulate, control and guilt

I do think this situation will change the church in some significant ways. The missionary program will not recover anytime soon. Mission structures have been dissolved, APs, ZLs, DLs, companionships all gone. Investigators will be lost. It will take time to rebuild all of this. Perhaps now is a good...

Re: Why General Conference Attendance s Cancelled

In other words we have no clue on what is going on and we have no power to do anything about it.
