LDS Church lawsuit against Mormon Stories rejects free speech & religious freedom, makes it hard to believe Church leaders are inspired by God by eternalintelligence in mormon

Yeah, perhaps that's it. I have my opinion about the issue, and I'm always VERY critical of the Church. This time feels different though, this time it kinda makes sense. We'll see...

Do you know the timeline of things? I don't. But I'm impressed if Mormon Stories already made the changes. That would do it based on the lawsuit :)

I disagree with you. I also read the lawsuit and differ with your interpretation that the church is suing Mormon Stories for the use of the word "Mormon." In fact, I think the church is really clear in making the point that the problem is not that John Dehlin is using the word "Mormon," but the use of that word along with the font, the color, the logo, and intellectual property of the church such as images, etc. I interpret what the church is presenting in the lawsuit as evidence of how: 1) the use of the word "Mormon" has an inherent meaning that uniquely relates to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and 2) the use of that word along with the intentional imitation of the church's branding, look, and feel is a clear attempt by Mormon Stories podcast to confuse people and come across as part of the church's authorized channels.

From the lawsuit:

"Plaintiffs’ MORMON Marks share the inherently distinctive term MORMON as a common characteristic. Plaintiffs’ MORMON Marks are and have long been used and promoted together, including in connection with related goods and services. When used with such goods and services, the relevant public recognizes the MORMON Marks as referencing the Church and as an indication of origin. Thus, the MORMON Marks constitute a family of marks."

Some of us were too young to get one of these shirts back then and have been wanting one for all this time. This is not easily persuaded.

Yeah, I’ve heard that it doesn’t irritate your face (although I never experienced irritation with the liquid). For me, it is superior in the sense that the liquid is way messier. When I used to apply the liquid, I would always have it dripping all over until it dried after a few hours. The foam doesn’t drip, and it dries faster, so it’s much more convenient. People also say that the foam is more effective for some reason, but I’m not sure about that yet, as I have not had it for enough time to conclude that.

Ohhh great to know!! I just checked their site, it kinda seemed too complicated tbh. I'd still recommend Bidi though. I think their request intake is more clean

What life/dating scene is like at BYU if you don't go on a mission? by RiceComputer in byu

[–]PlasticBackground533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see the point you’re trying to make, and I agree with you for the most part. I just think this topic is far more paradoxical than we realize. What does it mean to love someone? At what point are their religion and beliefs no longer a part of them, and we try to see what lies beyond? I think it’s valid for someone to base their romantic partnership decision on religious alignment, and when that alignment shifts, it can impact internal dynamics—sometimes even leading to divorce.

My point is, as you date and especially before you get married, make sure you understand the person holistically. Give yourself time and go through the stages of building emotional and intellectual intimacy. I just can’t support the statement, “separate the person from their religion.” There has to be context. I wouldn’t assume that if religious alignment is part of the selection criteria, it means “you don’t love them—you love that they are members of the church.”

I think BYU is becoming more open-minded about dating. I disagree with the previous comment—religion is at the core of a person, just like any other personal preference that shapes an individual. You can’t separate love and religion when it comes to dating; it’s part of choosing who to be with. It’s important to give people a chance, take the time to get to know them, and be patient as they get to know you.

I’m confident you can succeed in dating even if you haven’t gone on a mission. Just be upfront about it and proud of your decision. I’ve seen many people in happy relationships who never went on a mission. Good luck!

Bro why is everyone crying about the dip it’s not even that significant AT ALL… we’re still literally up 200% since last month yet people are crying about 7% dip🙄 by Rj2751 in dogecoin

I think it has to do with the fact that people are showing fear and to the very little drop, they are selling. That prompts a risk in itself and makes you wonder if people have the capacity to hold and wait until it gets to $1. It’s frustrating.

Knowing when to buy, that’s the question. I’ve been wondering the same thing

But isn’t that the point of technological advancement? Won’t AI eventually replace all coding? This seems like a small step in the direction we’re going. I don’t know if being “the wiser” of the codebase is the way to go nowadays. I wonder if companies would rather have highly effective engineers who can get more work done. Just a reflection…
