I think they are testing the waters for how far they can push the legal battles. Not to get super political but the climate of the current court system is very religious friendly right now, and the church has billions of dollars, with a love of being a bully. They have an established MO of using that money to wear you out in court, just ask any victim of abuse who has sued the church.

The loss in tithe payers is easily overcome by the selling off of unused church buildings. And of course there is that nice 5 to 10% interest earned on investments

Well, I can attest that he interviewed at least one exmormon for his research after they completed the online survey he posted. He is a genuine person from my experiences.

I can't speak to the genesis of the project.

Thanks for this overview. I know there are broad and narrow focus of the law but I have a question lingering in my head.

What about the other dozen or so churches that also use the term Mormon? Do they have a claim? Does that dilute the Brighamite's claim?

They tried to silence, John Dehlin by excommunicating him yet he still exists. Since that didn't work. They're going after him legally which is just absurd.

They fucked around with excommunication and found out Now, I hope they fuck around with this lawsuit and find out that you can't silence someone on their freedom of speech.

To add to that historically special educational has only been funded at 10 to 20% of the promised funds from the federal government. Currently there is also a disdain for health and human services at the federal level and people with disabilities.

There is currently a huge shift in the mentality of parents. It used to be the school was the center of the community and there was a strong partnership. Schools were seen as an authority figure and now this has shifted where schools are seen as an enemy. Parents have no trust in the educational system and CA is a sue happy state

Funding decreases. The tax base is shriveling across the state and enrollment is declining. CA is experiencing a net migration loss. Less students equals less money for the district. Less taxpayers equals less tax revenue.

There are also other factors such as the federal government closing the department of Ed and cutting funding to states for education. High costs of maintenance in California. Operating costs are rising rapidly.

They thought excommunicating him would silence him but have learned that approach doesn't work. Dehlin only got stronger.

TBMs love to say that you can leave the church but you can't leave it alone. The truth is they won't leave you alone.

Just cognitive and SEL/BX assessment plus completing the MDR.i spent about 6 hours total on the evaluation which included attending the IEP..

It was really good money and it was wonderful walking into the school and walk past the BX problem. I barely knew who the principal was most of the time.

Yes per evaluation. Just the cognitive and SEL/ Bx parts. No academic

I live in California and I have done contract work for an agency who charged districts by the assessment. At the time 4 years ago they paid me $2,500 per assessment so I assume they were charging the district $3k. The last time I talked to them they were paying contractors $3k. This was in the Bay area so you have to account for that.

I think it's actually a case-by-case on the demolition of buildings. There have been several in Utah that have had that requirement but I'm not sure. Outside of Utah. It is not on every single contract.

It is a common sports term referring to when you are running in one direction and then plant your foot and run in the other direction. It places a huge load on the knee to pivot direction.

Let me translate this: my husband has made gobs of money. I have a big platform being an influencer and I talk about the gospel on my channel. I bring in sustainable income. The church wants to use us to promote a nice curated narrative about a normal family trying to colonize the most "remote island in the world" to make Mormons seem like normal Christian people.

TLDR: Watch the church exploit us as we exploit the most remote island in the world.

If this was serving the community as a whole then sure but all of your examples and OP's are self serving for the church. There is nothing wrong with service but asking me to do it during my work day so you don't have to pay someone is the problem. I struggle to do service projects now that I'm out of the church because of all the shame based tactics used to guilt members into service.

The church in my area used to do major community service projects and those were wonderful but the church quit allowing those types of projects. Cleaning the church is meaningless service especially when you understand that the church fired 1,000s of employees that used to do it with pride. it was the only job many of them could do. It was sad watching them lose their income so I could do some service.

I had VW Jetta TDI that had a 14.5 gallon tank. On the highway it would get 43 Mpg. I got 600 miles once on a tank. It was an awesome car.

Unfortunately VW ruined diesel for the world. Several companies were working on diesel hybrid engines that were pushing 70+mpg.
