    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.

          Our first counselor got five words into his testimony before mentioning Davies. Apparently BYU, and the Church in general, drew a line in the sand, and we're now nationally respected for it.
          Not that, sickos.

            No mention of Davies in rural Idaho today at all. Though someone baptizing person immediatly from apartment he tracted greater than Beck to Harline. They go to most byu games.

              What other dirt on the incident do you have?

                      Only one mention of Davies/HC from the pulpit today. Relatively mild comments about BYU (and by extension, the church) being seen as sticking to it's principles. No mention in SS or priesthood.

                        Only seen it once, when I was younger. I asked my dad about it and he explained how objecting worked. Didn't get any of the specifics on that particular episode and I have never seen it since.

                          So the question then becomes, how much justice the atonement makes up for. Otherwise we are all screwed.

                            Last time I checked the atonement was "infinite". So that answers that. I think not a few people will be surprised at the CK bunkmates.

                              Unfortunately, there will probably some that are upset by their CK bunkmates, as well.

                                A Security Forces policeman in our ward bore his testimony today. He had been stationed in Afghanistan since May and returned home this past week. He looked and sounded like a different person, about what you'd expect from one who had just returned home from war. He spoke of missing his wife and four children, receiving cards from ward members, relishing the rare experience of taking the sacrament on base, and fervently praying while listening to the shriek and standing on the other end of missile attacks. It was harrowing, touching and uplifting. Hearing his testimony today was worth ten years of attending church.
