And Then of Course, There's This Part II

I'm must apologize deeply and profusely for gumming up part I of this post. It ended up being very confusing and making no apparent point. It was done very late last night, and somehow I didn't even post the link to the website where the quotation used was to be found.
Below is the entire quote, with the link, as is should have appeared before. You will now see why I found it apropos.
A few minutes ago I got back from attending a presentation where TKStrong defended her master's thesis in Sociology. Her subject was the social implications of leaving the LDS Church in Utah. I like her title: "This Was the Place." I liked her presentation. Well done! In a room of about 12 people attending I sat next to John Dehlin.

My point in writing is that afterward John volunteered to me that he has left the church -- hasn't resigned yet, but has left. He told me that this is public information and I was free to mention it on PostMo. He said it was the integrity problem that finally took him out. He couldn't remain a member and avoid the problems with the church any longer. His personal integrity would no longer allow him to look the other way. He and his wife have both left. He's meeting with the Stake President in a few days, I assume regarding his disaffection, but I could be wrong. Congratulations to you and your wife on your 'graduation' from Mormonism John!!!!
