My husband teaches the High Priest lesson on Sundays. I don't know that you would call that a "high position", but all callings are important. ;)
I loved that part!

Do you have any links to the survey data that supports your claim?
Just the press reports ... as well as Dallin Oaks' ridiculous spin on this "clipping service" or the PR department's efforts to argue that the SCMC's creation was mandated by scripture.

Gestapo-like"?
[Rollo Tomasi's] credibility? Meet [Bishop Dan].
Don't be so hard on yourself.

Rollo,
How do you interpret this statement? Does this sound like a veiled threat to you? I wonder if I am overreacting.
I read it the same way. It's just a matter of time before Bishop Dan asks your father to write another message for posting on this bb trashing you and singing DCP's virtues and fair play.

Dr. Peterson, you seem to be implying that you know something more about GoodK concerning this incident than you care to reveal. GoodK is saying that there is nothing more that he has to hide.
I suggest that maybe you two discuss via PM what this other matter could be, and come to some type of resolution rather than this mystery hint that something else is going on.
I like you, Dr. P., but this just doesn't seem very cool.

I would say the same for GoodK insisting that Dan Peterson is completely responsible for the damaged relationship between he and his [step?] father.
