I'm not saying that useful and engaging threads and discussions won't pop up periodically, but I think the management sees this more as a place for entertainment purposes than education. C'est la vie!

Go ahead and carve out a Learning Annex. It doesn't matter how management sees this place; MormonDiscussions.com is all things to all people.

I'm coming a bit late to this thread, but I'll still add my widower's mite. Blixa has taught me two, I suppose, "main things". 1. Ignore fools (yet I still don't use the ignore button; probably not here enough to even bother). 2. Mormonism has a rich history and culture, enough to make one feel to still claim it in some sense. It's not entirely the "apologists" who are to blame for this "either/or" approach to Mormonism, either. It's also those who egg them on by insisting that Mormonism can only be viewed in two senses: True or False.

Well said on both accounts, Ray.

It probably doesn't help that this also comes from the First Presidency and Quorum of the 12 Apostles.

Well said, Ray. It's important to recognize the good in Mormonism, as well as the not-so-good.

Just saw this thread and wanted to jump on the laud Blixa train before it leaves the station.

She's peripatetic, poetic and chic.

All the Best!

Ha! That's more the kind of compliment liz would enjoy.

I'd rather be "fastidious and precise" or "dynamite with a laser beam," I think...
