What's the diff between my Mormon blinders and Infymouse's Anti-Mormon blinders?

Infymouse's block sides and front. And they smell bad.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

The "next to last" name caller? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Speaking in terms of frequency, not chronology. He has a squeaky-clean name-calling record second only to me.

Unless a Bishop is a trained therapist he should NOT be counseling anyone! Period! Like you the idea of untrained men playing therapist is disturbing to say the least! :-(


So true. In my short stint as an acting bishop, I was amazed at what kinds of issues the members came to me with, expecting that I would have the answers that would help them. There was an attitude that "we bishops" could get inspiration for about anything. I suppose that might have been possible if it was really true, but "we" are just people trying to do the best we can. I was about the best referral source for therapists they could have had!

However, I've found that some bishops do cross the line. Stereotyping here, but they are generally the ones with less education. The phrase "you don't know what you don't know" applies, and I've known a few that offered very poor advice that caused some problems. One example was a bishop who was very involved in herbs (an MLM company), and "treated" most problems with his herbs. One had cancer, and it spread to a point that it was incurable. Sad.

Part of the problem is that some (hopefully less of an issue today than previously) bishops let the calling go to their head, and don't know good boundaries. I guess it's a problem with a lay ministry....

Just remember that the dictionary is your friend, especially when you're trying out the grown-up big words.

Name caller!

I'm still waiting to see your response on the other thread regarding you and the DCP April 10th thing.

Good call, skippy the dead. We can't all know all words all the time. But google can help. (Even still I managed to wrest it back into proper context. Woo hoo. Apologetics.)
