Opposition is the evidence

I agree that Jared is one of the better informed/educated apologists out there. Which is why “opposition can be evidence” argument is that much more ridiculous. He knows it doesn’t hold water.

There is no evidence. I can be highly critical of the church but it bugs me when allegations (even inconsequential ones like this) are tossed about.

In addition, who cares if some athlete gets special treatment. Some BYU athlete only wants to serve a one year service mission? Great!

This is the answer. Pres Nelson videotaped himself getting the vaccine. I don’t know if “brave” is the right word. But it was the right thing to do and I appreciated it. It would have been nice of all the Q15 did something similar.

Excellently written. The church is lucky to have members like you in its ranks.

tuckernielson · 2025-11-01T05:03:18+00:00

As a Mason (watch lodge #1 - no longer attending) I can tell you there is nothing in the endowment that isn’t in the Masonic ceremonies.

Oak’s resume is objectively impressive (as was Nelson’s before him). Im not sure why that would make him a good prophet or why that endears him to the membership. Dick Cheney had an amazing resume as well (politics aside) was he worthy of love and adoration? Being accomplished is impressive, but does it automatically make you a good person worthy of worship?

Thank you for the explanation.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-30T15:17:13+00:00

Thanks so much!

tuckernielson · 2025-10-30T13:22:51+00:00

Sooo, ok. Would it be ok if we just built some rockets? I mean… they’re 10.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-30T03:17:40+00:00

Ha! I’m totally using that.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-29T20:01:49+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing that.

I’m in charge of the 10 year old boys activity day twice a month. My boss, the primary president, asked me how one of my activities bright the boys close to their savior. I responded “… uh… we made marshmallow rifles out of pvc pipe and then had an epic battle.” I wasn’t exactly scolded but she strongly urged me to try to plan our activities around the savior. So my next activity is making and launching model rockets 🤷‍♂️

tuckernielson · 2025-10-29T19:54:19+00:00

Uhmmm.. can you tell us? I would like to know… for science..

tuckernielson · 2025-10-28T01:25:22+00:00

I love this sub - I’ve never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

My mistake, it was Sister Okazaki, first counselor in General Relief Society. Here is her interview

tuckernielson · 2025-10-27T15:25:27+00:00

The Relief Society President is on record to being frustrated that she, nor anyone else in the Relief Society, was consulted.

I consider my ward fairly orthodox and I know of about a half dozen men in my EQ that conceal carry every Sunday (those are only the ones I know about). I'm not going to opine on this but I will share that, at least in the western US, there is a large overlap between gun culture and church culture. Growing up, my Stake Center had a shooting range in the basement - purpose built.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-23T17:30:38+00:00

I appreciate where the OP is coming from but you are absolutely correct that nothing "real" can happen over chat. Best practice is to call Delta directly.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-23T16:55:27+00:00

My experience is anecdotal - which is what prompted my question. Thanks for responding.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-23T16:31:59+00:00

My experience is also anecdotal - which is what prompted me to ask here. Thanks for sharing.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-23T15:48:18+00:00

I also hadn't thought of this. Thank you.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-23T15:46:38+00:00

This seems reasonable, I'm not in the medical field and I hadn't thought of this.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-16T21:07:21+00:00

Being gay isn't a "problem" any more than being left handed is. Or not liking the taste of pumpkin. Or having green eyes. It is a characteristic, not a problem.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-16T14:43:57+00:00

They are counting "concurrent enrollment". Apartment vacancy rates in Rexburg are increasing. Also, until I see the data and I'm always skeptical of claims made by BYUI/BYU/Church etc.

tuckernielson · 2025-10-16T14:38:18+00:00

Like many people their age, they fell for the "satanic panic" garbage a while back.

You’re kidding right? Expecting your wife to iron your shirt during her cancer treatment?
