I used the term 'character flaw' but Ed Smart's issues go far beyond character flaws, I was trying, poorly, to be a bit polite. Not my business to publish them here for obvious reasons and I only...

Regardless of Ed Smart's sexual orientation I know of a few people familiar with with him who agree he is not a good guy and that has character flaws have been well known long before this latest...

Short answer is the dash would certainly be allowed. The law of chastity as stated by the church is that you have no sexual relations except with the person you are "legally and lawfully" married. If...

Didn't the Supreme Court rule in favor of the baker 7-2? Did they also not rule in favor of Hobby Lobby?

When it comes the this bill, I think the compromise the Church is seeking has already been...

How do you make these distinctions in a practical way on a broad set of issues? I'm not even certain your distinctions for BYU, KSL and BYUtv make sense to me. That seems like a nasty mess to parse...

Maybe this fits in here (since this is the last place I remember us discussing BYUs honor code issues - if not feel free to move if) but Luke Staley is considering having his retired number removed...

That's why you don't write, "San Dimas Football Rules!" in your speech, you just say it.

I predict the Honor Code office as we now know it will not exist one year from now. Instead honor code worthiness type issues will be sent to the respective bishops and academic disciplinary actions...

Well interestingly the way my platform works has some functionality for real estate brokerages that allows individual agents to have their own websites yet the core content and control is retained by...

Here is a serious question: my business that does marketing and websites has always had a policy that we don’t do certain types of sites, among them for illegal activities (of course), gambling,...

That's a good point, but how does one reprove with love? "Here is a really heavy gift that is going to be difficult to get home because you've done something wrong. Also I am going to send you too...

I agree with you. I can also say that I am unaware of any official policy on what should be done in this type of situation so contrary to Maake's assumption that this is a symptom of pulling in...

Those facts in mind and frankly how it all rolled out might make that guy feel like he wasn't wrong to shut it down. In fact I bet the cameras and entourage were the bigger contributing factor as I...

File this for what it is worth, I personally don't put too much credence in it which is why I never mentioned it. I also agree with the "solution looking for a problem" analysis.

However, BEFORE...

Woosh.

Well technically if they actually are led by revelation from God, then their opinion on the matter would be right and it wouldn't matter what yours was ;)

I'm just sayin'...

I've long felt that this policy was a solution looking for a problem as I don't think there are many if any gay couples who wish their children be raised in the church. Simply stating things like...

You might want to reread what I said originally. (And yes, people - and not just a church - do treat disabled and widowed people differently or without compassion). My point was similar to yours in...

Are you really being dismissive of disabilities or losing a spouse? Maybe put yourself in those shoes too?

Ma'ake, I always appreciate your insight and POV when it comes to this sort of stuff. It is rare I think to have what I think is a pretty fair and practical view of a religion you left long ago. ...

That's pretty kinky stuff. I'll doubt you have many takers here.

Interesting stuff because I believe that Christofferson said that when it came to homosexuality an 18yo would have to renounce the practice for themselves but not their family.

That's kind of how I picture myself but with better hair than Sean Hannity.

I like that, The Fox News of this board, but I'll stick with 'After -the-Fact Genius".

Wait, so you are unable to find any biblical references to homosexuality but then you produce from that that sex acts are the most God-like? Maybe we need to work out a definition of sex acts first...
