Polygamist Apologists blurring the Mormon line even more

[_maklelan]

I appreciate it. Thanks for being prompt.

You have a little something on your nose.

Yah, its brown.

I'm being respectful. I can disagree with someone and still respect them.

While I agree that the moderation is tilted a little in the other direction on MAD, you can't compare what Merc does to what Pahoran does.

A little? A little???

Pahoran is Merc with a TR.

Pahoran is Merc with a TR.

I disagree entirely. I've never seen anyone say the stuff Merc has said. Pahoran may be just as dogmatic, but he certainly doesn't stoop to the levels Merc does.

Again, Mak, I disagree. Merc has never told someone who was suicidal that they may as well go ahead and kill themselves.

Pahoran has done this...and to a poster who is a dear friend of mine, and in no way deserved that type of treatment.

I will give Juliann credit...as much as she and I disagree, she showed this poster compassion that Pahoran did not.

Just in case Mak missed Wheat's comments:

I think I’m a 100% orthodox chapel Mormon in almost every way I can imagine.

As far as Heber C. Kimball's proposed solution to pressing social problems _ sounds good to me. Hang a few gays, prostitutes, child molesters, defrauders, and the like in the public square, and before too long you'll have produced a much more hospitable environment for making and raising families.

You know as well as I that she was just bearing an emotional testimony at women's conference and not trying to aver that Joseph Smith was divinity. It would be prudent to let her know that people will knowingly misrepresent what she's said because of their cynicism and antagonism toward the church, but she's committed no sacrilege.

She could get fired for that. At the very least, she could get hauled into her bishop's office to explain herself.

You know very well the church does not at all condone the idea that Joseph Smith was anything more than a man with a divine calling, and your unearthing an incredibly irrelevant and obscure reference to try to make it appear otherwise only manifests how much you're willing to overlook common sense in order to feel like you're a smarter person.

She is a professor at BYU, an employee of the church, and as such, she was speaking at a BYU and church-sanctioned event. She is accountable for her words. Quoting her and repeating her words, unless she is admonished and sanctioned because of them, serves only to highlight the double standard of her employer.

Did this take place here or at MADB?

I see no relevant differentiation between here or there.

Quit sandbagging.

Because someone else knowingly misrepresented her words? I don't think she's responsible for that.

Tell me, what was her demeanor and posture when she said what she said?

Wheat's comments occurred here.

Pahoran's comments which I referred to occurred on MAD.
