Yes, Erda is now another suberb of SLC. I have a coworker who has commuted from Erda to SLC proper for years. He enjoys or maybe i should say enjoyed the semi rural character of the place. Another coworker also commutes from out that way. Not uncommon any more.

And now (soon?) that the department is de-certified we can expect all the professionals to leave.

May personal disaffection did not follow the usual route of discovering disturbing things about church history. It really started from a recognition that church leaders are nothing special and that the Living Prophet was indistinguishable from any aged chief administrator of any large earthly organi...

Rasband following the established pattern of talking about Rasband.

[Spoken in my best Clint Eastwood voice] he's a legend in his own mind.

He also talked about the church filling North and South America. Didn't get Cook's memo, apparently.

Fun way to sing the closing hymn

Oh how glorious, from the throne above, HEY!
Shines the gospel light of truth and love, HEY!

We'll keep up this fast and pray thing until things improve and we can take credit for it. -20

I'm going to give the session a +20 for the closing hymn. It also should earn some Jesus points since it is the most Christ centered hymn in the COJCOLDS catalog. That hymn is not in the current hymnbook, and I suspect that is because the Bruce R. McHardA faction didn't like a hymn about grace and u...

Eyring: -10 for preaching scare satan's influence

Beat me to it. Ditto that -10.

I predict a talk that compares the corona virus to criticism of the Church, and tells members to keep their distance. :roll: Guaranteed laugh line. My guess is Holland uses it. However, I forgot there won't be an audience. Maybe a laugh track will be used after all? I think the analogy is a given a...

Thank you for your post, Reuben. For me this a good expression of a middle way, a trying to keep the baby while tossing the bath water.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING, THE SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

CONFIRMATION BIAS.IT WORKS!!!

But really, is their response at all proportionate to their resources? And even if you forget the 100 billion, they have A crapload of idle buildings that could be put to use The ability to mobilize a bunch of volunteers, subject to proper social distancing measures The ability in the morcor to infl...

C'mon, how 'bout the international day of Fasting and Mighty Prayer ? He's even laid out the specifics. Course, there's the missionary plug in #3 and awesome conference plug in #5. (Image from FB feed) Day of Fast - FB.jpg Translation 1. Good leadership, hopefully guided by science, is the only thi...

Even if there is actually a legal standing where LD$-Inc. could actually lose, I believe the tactic of K|McC a lot of the time is to simply drag things out until the plaintiffs run out of money. Who was the lawyer on MormonStories who has done sexual abuse litigation against the church and says the...

Interesting. I have heard it said that transparency isn't about building trust, but about managing distrust. This seems to fit. The more blind trust they put in the organization, the less they care about transparency.

For the sake of the many good members I know I wish that trust was warranted.

MY suggested response doesn't fit the community standards of this forum to share. Based on this description, I think I can imagine the "Scorched Earth and Potty Mouth" response you had in mind. Maybe you could just hint at the Tarantino movie that best fits your projected response. I missed Taranti...

I'm getting an image in my mind of RMN with a flaming scalpel. Make it go away!

They are not asking for nonmembers if you read carefully the article and the application. Which of course makes the multicultural thing more challenging. They'll need all 5 black singers to apply

Do you think they'll ask Gladys Knight to front the choir?

:lol: :lol: :lol: I find this hilarious. The intersection of COJCOLDism and Utah politics can be quite amusing. I would have thought sombody in the department of health would have had a clue about how uber-mormons like the guvypoo would TOTALLY FREAK over anything sexual. I can only imagine the fire...
