Actually, I'm not obsessed about Brooks at all.

I'm concerned about her and her influence on other LDS who are not yet well grounded in testimony, faith, and doctrine.

But we can't be serious all the time, can we.


Your priesthood leaders don't appear to share your concern, Droopy. Careful, there, buddy, getting out in front of your "file leaders" is the first step on the high road to apostasy. Pretty soon you'll be marching in your skivvies in gay pride parades waving rainbow flags and growing a bushy Freddie Mercury moustache with which to tickle your gay lover's testicles.

Well, to tell the truth, I haven't brought it up to them recently.

Actually, no it isn't.

I was thinking more along the lines of world domination. That's the only way I figure I can ever get a hold of one of those fluffy, white, Persian cats.

He therefore becomes obstreperous, unyielding, ungovernable, undesirable, and worthy to be dealt with according to his merits or demerits.

Funny, I've been asking you that question for some seven years, and I haven't received an answer yet. I've also been asking you, over a similar time period, what your formal degrees are and where you received them, and, as of yet, no answer.

So, you first.

Two of the people you love to hate will be together. John Dehlin is interviewing Joanna Brooks. You have a question for Joanna? Send it to John and maybe he will ask it for you.

But keep it decent.

I listened to John's interviews with Anna Reiss. She would be quiet Droppy in Droppy's view. But then she is a realist. She seems LDS scriptures as midrash.

Oh "equality," irrelevant scriptural references you don't understand culled from a doctrinal background and system you can't comprehend.

Let's not pretend you know what you're talking about, shall we?

Thanks, I know you could be reasonable.

I'll ask it myself.

And I don't "hate" them. You're not even capable of nice tries anymore, Jason.
