There is a tendency in many LDS to think that a harsh version of Christ's love is to be emulated.


There is a tendency among the weak minded to think that a hippie version of Christ's love is to be emulated.

The instances of Christ speaking of kindness, charity, etc. are "hippie versions" of Christ's love?

No, they are the versions that deny or ignore the instances Christ's tough love.

You all have been Paul Dunned.

This is nothing more than an embellishment foisted upon the unwitting members.

We have more reason to believe he made this up than we have reason to believe it actually happened.

when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Boyd K. Packer has done more against HIS church than any "anti" could do.

A group of 60,000 +/- Ms, is little different than a group of 60,000 sales people or whatevers. Goods, bads & indifferents make up any collection of individuals.

As for LDS Mission-Callings, i think there should be more inspiration demoed in the whole process/project. I.E. each candidate should be psyche-tested to determine THEIR suitability to the challenge. That "morality" seems the only criteria, leaves the rest of the ice-berg burried to emerge later to be, too often, counter productive to the individual and the group project. As usual, LDS policies and practices do not work as well as intended cuz the R&D Department is hobbled by the Theology Dept stuck on the Tower of Babble. IMSCO, warm regards, Roger

I become more and more certain that if one well-declared anti said "the snow is white" there would rise a lot of apologist shouting "he/she is a satan's minion - we don't teach it - it was only private opinion".
