Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
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."

The Rob Porter mess is putting the Church back on the front page. This piece on CNN's website is a reasonable outsider's view of the Church and how its culture (and local leaders) might not always be as good at reacting to spousal abuse as it should be. This would be a good topic for a First Sunday quorum meeting.

I know there is a hotline to SLC for sexual abuse, but isn't there also one for spousal and child abuse?"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.

Dad's Crazy Ex-wife's favorite thing was to attend Dad's sacrament meeting. It wasn't her home ward- it was his. She'd sit in the back row, where Dad couldn't see her and had no idea she was even there. Then she'd call the cops and get them to drag dad out of the meeting. She loved to do this during Sacrament because it was maximal disruptus and maximal embarricus for him. This happened a few times before the ward turned on her.

The next day, Crazy ExWife would go get another restraining order, which cost her nothing, and Dad would have to pay to get it removed. This happened 3-4 times in a row and eventually, I begged mom to help dad out, and she pro-bono'd him to remove a couple of the restraining orders.

My running joke is that my MIL dislikes me so much that I've stayed married to her daughter for 34 years.... just to spite her.

Rob Porter is my ex-husband. Here’s what you should know about abuse.
Then there is the just-as-serious issue of being believed and supported by those you choose to tell. Sometimes people don’t believe you. Sometimes they have difficulty truly understanding what you are trying to tell them. Both Willoughby and I raised our cases with clergy. Both of us had a hard time getting them to fully address the abuse taking place. It wasn’t until I spoke to a professional counselor that I was met with understanding.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Tonga's churches of sorrow and gratitude
Churches, however, proved to be literal life-savers; around 6000 people sought shelter in them on the night of storm, not trusting their own homes to weather 200kmh winds.
The National Emergency Management Office's logistics advisor Graham Kenna said Tonga's sturdily built Mormon churches were responsible for the lack of cyclone-related deaths in the kingdom that night.
Mormon churches in Tonga are built out of bricks to American standards, he said, and were known to withstand powerful storms better than the often simply constructed local homes.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Sorry for the paywall. The Trib thinks it's worth something.“Well, God allows us to have our agency and men have passed laws that allow guns to go to people who shouldn’t have them.”
