While you say this in jest I think really that is Elder Ballard's message.
It is. That was the point of my post.
Elder Ballard would be as appalled at MAD as he is at this place. He would be calling us all to repentance. Seriously.

I'd say that everything else is a waste of time anyhow.
Late I've been thinking that I've really been getting out of touch because of this place. I'm beginning to think I've too busy trying to get along and have therefore bought into sophistries that justify wickedness.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
When addressing concerns about the behavior of the youth, Golden told the congregation not to worry about the young people: "They'll be all right. It's all these old bald-headed b*stards on the front row that you need to look out for."

Many at MADB may be rude, but I don't think MADB exists chiefly to debate, question, or doubt doctrine. In other words, it's the members, not the board that's the problem. Here, however, I think the very premise of the board goes against Elder BAllard's counsel.

On the contrary, what is MAD's most frequented section? The DEBATE section.
Also, if you read MDB's message, it was not designed to debate, question, or doubt doctrine. It was designed to discuss topics in Mormonism.

Deosn't matter. MAD doesn't think they are sideways of Elder Ballard's point. They think they're right and righteous. Like many among the LDS, they think their sweat don't stink.

Bye Nehor!
You missed my brilliant loophole in the counsel.
