    Ha, not quite. Steve is a true believer. The ID guy no longer believes but is still positive towards the church.

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've got a feeling that this album will win the Mormon Stories Album of the Year award.

        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.

          I know his immediate family quite well, although not him personally as much. Yes, he's in.

            I wouldn't want a steady diet of it, but I find it a welcome change. Coming from Vegas, it's obviously not part of the British invasion bands, but it kinda has that feel.

            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's still in and I don't believe this is correct.

              It sounds as if he is trying to dance around.

              Raised in a Mormon family in Las Vegas, Reynolds says he still believes in Mormons and orthodox community, “but I believe we all can be educated on the matter to create positive change.”

                  I'm assuming that no LDS congregations were allowed to participate in the Freedom Festival due to the churches past participation as an "advocacy group."

                    Is the church an advocacy group?

                      If you want to claim Encircle is an "advocacy group," absolutely it is one.

                      • Look at the horrible things this organization is looking at doing:

                        We work to provide a tangible example of what a safe and welcoming home could look like for members of all sexual orientations, gender identities and religious paths. We offer programs and counseling services which will give families tools to make hard and crucial life choices from a place of wisdom and love

                        We seek to reduce the risk of suicide for LGBTQ youth and prevent youth homelessness by always working towards family reunification, and by providing access to private counseling, support groups, acceptance and love. We want all youth to learn to love themselves.

                        Encircle coordinates programs, services, and events focused on making the homes, schools, churches and society of Utah more safe and welcoming to LGBTQ members. We work with community leaders to increase cultural competency and forward thinking.
                        https://encircletogether.org/

                        Look at this horrible therapist that is involved providing counseling services

                        LISA HANSEN

                        As a mother/foster mother of seven with a marriage of nearly 40 years, I bring a wealth of experience with family challenges and the realities of what happens in families. As a therapist with many years of experience with LGBTQ/SSA issues, and with a lifetime of activity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I can help you and your family with understanding, skills and self-acceptance that contribute to relationship strength and family resiliency.
                        No wonder Provo didn't want this group to be part of their Freedom Parade.

                          Next time the Utes finish in 2nd place hopefully they allow them to participate in their parade.

                              1 step forward, 2 or more steps back. This is why when people involved with the LDS church talk about change happening but slowly, there remains skepticism that there is actually meaningful change happening and not just PR.

                                That's a pretty poor example of your point.
