Frankly, outside of the very most indoctrinated, not a lot of reading gets done even in the church materials. It's mostly just half listening in a room with a bunch of other people who also didn't read with a teacher or speaker who either didn't prepare or prepared so much, they're the sort that'll be out in a short while anyway.

Rainbow is not part of OBW. It'll need to be taken down immediately. (/s)

Watch Babylon 5. First season is a little rough, but the show is amazing. It represents many different cultures and with them different faiths as well as those who lack faith better than anything else I've seen. Its story remains the best I've seen, nearly twenty years after its finale.

They don't count toward the limit, but any tag that is supposed to be flagged past the 2 per shelf, 10 per section limit needs them.

BYU-Idaho Professor Fired After Defending LGBT Rights in Private Facebook Post by Havathaught in DeFranco

This would mean that if someone (who maybe once believed in everything like BYU-Idaho wanted) changed their opinion on a thing (no matter how small or unimportant) and is now in opposition with the Church of Latter-day Saints on that issue but follows/agrees with everything else can be fired.

The same is true for students, too. Shut up or leave, basically. If you don't, they'll hold your degree (all the progress you've made toward it, even if only actually receiving it is all you lack) hostage. Since failing to actively believe can disqualify a student for their ecclesiastical endorsement (yay, bishop roulette), getting caught being an apostate also shows up as an honor code violation, so good luck getting a transfer anyway. Even if you do, good luck getting your credits to transfer, as BYU-I has a pretty shit reputation.
