We're So Sorry, Mr. Dehlin

Wings.

[_Droopy]

Yeah, but not Wings. Its the Ram album that Paul and Linda McCartney did in 1971. Pre-Wings (right before Wild Life).

Sorry, not the Fab Four.

Poor Droopy. He never was able to earn a living. RIP.

My experience does not square with the portrait of John Dehlin as some sort of testimony killer. My testimony died after 10 years in the youth programs, two years on a mission, and four years of studying with apologists at BYU. I didn't learn about John Dehlin until the damage was done (by faithful people, mostly, including well-meaning youth instructors and distant LDS "authorities" like Harold Hillam and Richard Bushman -- not to mention myself, who used to be as fanatical a believer as anyone). Dehlin merely gave me a place to point my faithful family when they wanted to know what the heck happened to me. He helped me explain myself to them, offering a perspective on church history that is accurate without being gratuitously unsympathetic (or incomprehensible: my family doesn't know or care much about ancient Egypt or pre-Columbian America or the kind of "post-modern" gibberish that the old FARMS shilled).

I am glad that my family didn't cast me out after my faith crisis. (They haven't followed me out, either, in spite of Mr. Dehlin, and unlike some people, I am not angry about this: I recognize the good the church does, along with the bad, and I am open to people remaining happily in the church.) I am grateful to John Dehlin for helping me reach out to my family and maintain a perfectly beautiful relationship that the LDS church almost wrecked.

Wait a minute...that's...not...a duck...

Bravo, Droopy! That's almost as good as something from Emmeline Grangerford.

Droopy is the Weird Al of Mormonism. Only less talent. And just weird. And unemployed. And stupid.

He's the kind of person who would find this poster "intellectually serious":
