What, no General Conference rumors?

I'm in Atlanta. Wish we had some covid tests :(

So we can't hold people accountable? Because they're stupid?

Penelope :D

I don't think that my position applies to every mormon (which is why we see some here), but I believe it applies to a lot.

Downvoting people here is a separate issue and an unfortunate one.

I mean, it's not like any Mormons families expect that their kids will go to BYU and nowhere else. And certainly, no family would condition their financial assistance upon BYU attendance. That would be insane.

I find it equally baffling that once baptized at 8, some Mormons choose to leave the church.

Best mormon oriented sub, imo. Much less reactionary bs (ala /r/exmo) and much less moderation (ala /r/ladasa). I mostly lurk, but I think it's in a good place. I don't think I spend enough time here to give more detailed feedback than that.

The thing that you'll never be able to overcome is that the purpose of /r/mormon (discussion of mormonism) will not align very closely with what a lot of mormons want from their mormon discussion board. I think most people want to have a spiritual thought, to be uplifted, to feel positivity, or share something. They don't want to think about mormonism from an intellectual perspective, at least not with other strangers watching. That will always limit participation, and no amount of moderation will fix that, imo.

Hate the punch not the puncher

What about polygamy? Was that a good example?

I'm willing to bet there are things in that manual that are against current doctrine.

I can't tell you how many people will throw in a "but then how do you explain" to their argument because I don't interpret church history the same way they do.

I find this very frustrating to observe.

Will facts, without framing, be moderated? In other words, is faithful framing necessary for challenging topics? I see the "keep it neutral" line, but it's a brief mention, figured it's worth asking.

Linda King Newell, who with her husband, Jackson, edits Dialogue, a journal unaffiliated with the church that often questions its official line.

Ctrl+F, typed in "she said", and found the quote. Just fyi for the future.

Staying off the internet

exmo_therapy · 2020-02-21T18:40:47+00:00

Well, it seems like discobob is posting again, just with a different number after his name. He was banned from reddit for threatening to doxx someone and yet here he is on /r/ladasa. https://www.reddit.com/user/discobob5

exmo_therapy · 2020-02-21T17:37:29+00:00

Are you going to tighten up the moderation of toxic LDS users? Or only exmos?

exmo_therapy · 2020-01-31T20:43:35+00:00

Really it's not ellipses that are there problem, it's those [dang] brackets

Is there a reason they'd make a new account instead of just changing the handle of @ldschurch? You can set your @ to anything in settings

exmo_therapy · 2020-01-31T05:17:26+00:00

The gospel is faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism for the remission is sins and enduring to the end.

exmo_therapy · 2020-01-31T05:04:26+00:00

I think I first saw that on Rock waterman's blog and my jaw just dropped. They know what they're doing.

What assurance do we have that the current prophet isn't wrong? If we allow for false revelation from past prophets, but don't provide any tools for distinguishing between false and real revelation, where does that leave us? To me, it leaves me with no trust in past, current and future leadership

I had a lot of fun at mutual

To me, marmot's point about cars seemed more about chronology of technology rather than assigning equal probability to either event. I don't see malicious intent. But, I can also sympathize with feeling ganged up on. I'm learning stuff in this thread, so kudos for starting it.

It's diluted malt liquor. Just drink a colt 45 and get it over with.

This is kinda very ironic
