For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
That's funny. Most of the still photos he posts of himself on his podcasts, he looks terrible and unhealthy. Maybe he feels good on the inside.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Delhin is some kind of therapist/psychologist, no? I wonder if he's examined himself lately. My guess is that he's a textbook example of someone with a messiah complex.
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
I think he isn't fully licensed. Dehlin was actually done some good work surrounding the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He's got a phd from USU. I don't doubt he is skilled but what makes him someone id never refer a client to is his narcissism and his agenda. I think the guy's ego and public persona make him capable of allowing clients to make their own autonomous decisions about their religious orientation or how the identify sexually. I.e., a good therapist needs to be able to avoid pushing a client to come out of the closet or quit being a practicing, orthodox member of any religion. So it's not education or training, it's ego and agenda that are his problems. BFM is exactly right, imho.

Friends of JD on FB were treated yesterday to a barrage of quotes from attendees at some gathering in Texas. The quotes included many observations about the Church that did not reflect well on the writer or JD (and I'm totally fine with intelligent criticism). So I finally pulled the trigger and unfriended him. His obsession with the Church became uninteresting to me a while ago and now borders on the pathological.

I've honestly only listened to pieces. Aren't primary themes personal faith and sexuality, etc.? At least most of them seem to be adults. It just seems somewhat contradictory to me to work in a profession that values confidentiality so highly while also publicly probing people's innermost concerns. I understand they all agree to it, but it still strikes me as a bit troubling. Does he recruit people or do they all approach him first?
Just scrolled through some more of the podcasts. The idea of making a series of people dishing on meetings with general authorities seems troubling. Encouraging people in divulging presumably confidential conversations with religious leaders makes me uncomfortable, regardless of the faith of priest and penitent.
"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
He and the Mrs. seem very happy these days.

Let's finally put an end to the JD myth that Jews get along swimmingly despite differing levels of religiousity.

I’m an American rabbi. Israel no longer recognizes my religious authority.

That is really funny. No surprise at all that he struggles with self awareness.

URGENT! Super bad news. Just heard from Steve Urquhart that a member of the legislature called to tell him that the LDS Church is pressuring the Utah legislature to pass a bill to make Utah a 2-party consent audio/video recording state - in direct response to Mormon Stories Podcast, MormonLeaks (Ryan McKnight), Jeremy Runnells, Sam Young and others.
This will make it impossible to record Mormon bishop and stake president interviews, Mormon GA's, etc., to hold them accountable for the things they say and do.
But even more alarming/disturbing, I am told by a friend connected to the judicial system this law could make it more difficult to protect victims of sexual assault in the state by effectively getting rid of the number one tool for prosecuting date rape and other sexual assaults where the only two witnesses are the victim and perpetrator. I know that there are exemptions addressing this situation, but I’m concerned about the chilling effect that this law might bring.
No bueno.
Anyone have ideas on what, if anything, can be done?

I think it would be a good idea to have Utah be a two party recording state. I stand with the LDS church (on two party recording).
The crux of what has traumatized us about CUF/CG is that we thought they were our friends. And their identity as BYU fans turned out to be the most important thing to them. What empty lives! What a damning indictment of the LDS Church!
