TexasPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Today I learned that it's perfectly normal to turn to the girl sitting next to you in Sunday School, ask her to hold your cell phone, and then say, "put your number in please." And that it's perfectly normal to do this despite not even knowing the girl.
*headdesk*what I am is what I am and I does what I does.

This is a multiple choice option. Or are you always right and never wrong?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostSo have you decided what you are going to do?"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.

this seems to be a common talking point, so much that I can't remember any other positives that pro correlationists put forth.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostThis is an object lesson on one positive of Correlation.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

Indeed, and I can't but wonder how correlation is so virtuous when things like this happen when it is on watch. Of course, part of the problem is that the LDS Church's tight, centralized, overly simplified correlation actually fosters teacher tantrums, resentment, and gossip. It fosters threads like this one.Originally posted by pellegrino View Postthis seems to be a common talking point, so much that I can't remember any other positives that pro correlationists put forth.
In a less correlated church, the artificial politeness and cookie-cutter answers can give way to healthy dialogue. We can be reasonably open, but respectful, about different views. We can open the window and air out some ward-level vendettas. We can be more agreeable in our disagreements.
In short, we can grow up.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

It was really just a joke.Originally posted by pellegrino View Postthis seems to be a common talking point, so much that I can't remember any other positives that pro correlationists put forth.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

I've been around a long time, and I have yet to witness a "teacher tantrum." Great phrase, though.Originally posted by Sleeping in EQ View PostIndeed, and I can't but wonder how correlation is so virtuous when things like this happen when it is on watch.

Just like here!Originally posted by Sleeping in EQ View PostIn a less correlated church, the artificial politeness and cookie-cutter answers can give way to healthy dialogue. We can be reasonably open, but respectful, about different views. We can open the window and air out some ward-level vendettas. We can be more agreeable in our disagreements.
In short, we can grow up.Have we been commanded not to call a prophet an insular racist? Link?

So true.Originally posted by Sleeping in EQ View PostIndeed, and I can't but wonder how correlation is so virtuous when things like this happen when it is on watch.

In short, we can grow up."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

Offending betimes with sharpness....Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostSo have you decided what you are going to do?One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.
