Regarding liz3564 and a CALL FOR MODERATORS

[_Ceeboo]

I, for one, would probably be amused by Ceeebo's antics as moderator.

Looks like I have one vote.

(Wondering how many it takes until I get that special PM from Shades himself)

Peace,
Ceeboo

You would not be much a TBM that if asked by your upline to disclose the information to not be conflicted and tempted. And what kind of a TBM would you be if you did not buckle under to them?

So, you see, my concern is the SCMC or some other appendage of the COB would make you choose between your duty to your church, underpinned by your belief of eternal consequences if you do not comply with their request.

Of course, with any Admin and Mods, there is the threat of buckling under legal compulsion or legal threats. However, with a TBM, there is the very real threat of an ecclesiastical compunction too. That's an unnecessary additional risk that can be avoided.

Paranoia. I would be the ultimate TBM by refusing such a request which would never happen anyway. But that's okay, it's not necessary for me to be a mod.

I just wanted you to understand what my heightened concern would be. It's not necessary that any one person be a mod, as long as someone is. The candidates ought to be as free from known outward pressure possibilities to divulge information that posters here have been led by Dr Shades to believe is confidential (which I believe it has been kept so).

Keep in mind, in real life I have in the past lost two clients who told me that it was due to my being sock puppet here, and the posts I have made here. That's two that were willing to tell me, point blank. I suspect more (though not many more) than those two. So I am a bit concerned.

This thread has became a Saturnalia.

Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the deity Saturn originally held December 17 and later expanded with unofficial festivities through December 23. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days."

...or the worse ones.

This is alarming. Did they say what their concern was? You have never divulged any information about your clients or yourself. I don't understand what their issue with it was.

Liz, have you heard anyone say

Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

lately? WHAT does that mean? It sounds quite obvious to me, but I don't know how you get around it.

People don’t want a person deceived by Satan to be advancing/defending their case, they want a man with God’s backing on their side

That's fine. But the fact remains there is no way to prove a future case like this and there is no evidence the Church or any of it's organizations makes such requests. There IS evidence of such hijinks among LDS supporters and non LDS supporters alike as one can plainly see on this very board.

That is the reason why many posters reject radicalism on either end, and the person delegated should be noted for such a stand. I disqualify myself because some LDS perceive me as being a radical anti, and therefore do not trust me. Same for you on the other side, despite the fact that you are a Mormon heretic.

Perception is as important as reality.
