Re: Honor Code clarified (?)

More double speak.

They might as well say this:

“Opposite-sex romantic behavior that doesn’t lead to eternal marriage is therefore not compatible with the principles included in the Honor Code.”

Why don’t they ban all romantic behavior unless married in the temple?

Solves the problem!

Re: Anyone Else Triggered by the Dehlin Excommunication Tapes?

I sat in on one where the single guy was 95% deaf. He hadn't had many girlfriends over the years but met a nice girl who was also deaf. They ended up succumbing to the biological forces of nature and so he came in and confessed. She wasn’t a member and didn’t understand what all the worry was about....

Re: How do you make them understand?

Re: Anyone Else Triggered by the Dehlin Excommunication Tapes?

Mormorrisey, was your experience from the church leadership side of the table or from the excommunicated side of the table? I don’t recall specifically your story. Having sat in on ward disciplinary councils I can say the whole process is silly. Grown adults having to confess to a room full of men t...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?

Costco was sold out of bottled water, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer today.

Seems prepping for quarantines have started here. Only 1 confirmed case in the whole state as of today so the news has started to freak people out of reason.

Re: Oaks face 2 face thread

They probably order them differently to avoid the acronym, but yeah, those are the four things. Which is weird. In recent years I could have sworn that the church was against at least two of those.

If member retention affected them personally, more than just mild concern they would act differently. Suppose they lost income as numbers fell, what would they do differently. Or what if they had the chance of getting replaced? As it is there is no mechanism in place that promotes much more than th...

What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?

Home teacher texted asking “What are you doing to protect your family from the virus?”

Umm... washing my hands, stock piling food, and staying home from church! Then I’m praying my 401K recovers! :lol:

Re: A visit to a local church $$$

I've wondered if he will see repercussions....I guess we will see! He did not post the video (I think it was a student who did) and I have read that he has been instructed not to promote or share it. It seems there is a lot of confusion over this and some damage control taking place. Here's a recor...

Allie, here’s what I think happened. The wordsmith department, known for their extremely important work writing the carefully worded denials found in the essays, had decided to tone down the honor code rhetoric by eliminating “homosexual behavior” from the new manual and honor code.
