If a female tried to get into the priesthood session of GC...

[Jeff Lebowski]

It's more incredible you take that statement at face value and not for the purpose for which it was intended even though I hinted strongly at the intent in the statement itself.

So the real objective of that incredibly narcissistic statement was to express support for female ordination? Alrighty then.

If you think that insulting niku will get him back to church then I think you're wrong. Time to reevaluate your reactivation strategy, bro.

Jeff is perhaps the only person who has been a complete jerk about the whole thing. He makes a wonderful stereotype.

Maybe someone should try instructing Niku to call his wife to repentance for her objection to not being included in the original email and declining to accept the visit? I think Lebowski might know someone who could pull it off...

That's a ProgMo for you.

I think he's trying the abusive husband route. I think it has about as good of a shot as anything does at this point.

There are a couple on here that hide behind anonymity but I have found that without exception every personal contact I've had with members has been completely positive, at least in their intentions. The execution has been haphazard at times but never a question of where their heart is. That has made my transition very nearly seamless (although they consistently lament my absence during church which does get tiresome since most were bored to tears when we were all active).

Dude, I am so sorry I made light of your comment about your clueless stake members. That was a real jerk move on my part.

Quit hiding behind your message board anonymity!

[snowcat]

Not really.
Dissident Saudi women are threatened with imprisonment or worse. LDS women are not.
LDS women are free to find another religion.
Saudi women are not.
Etc.

If they don't like Saudi policy they should quit and start their own country.

Haha.

We should all try to reactivate like MG, stop going and encourage others too!

Yesterday I was roaming the halls during SS as I had some people I needed to see. I ran into a non-believing member (closet atheist that comes to support the family, only a handful in the ward know he's non-believing) in the hall. He promptly told me he was holding up the wall to which I remarked that his activity sounded much more interesting than listening to another correlated lesson on some chapters in Deuteronomy. In some small ways I'm jealous of his lack of guilt but still silently applaud that he has the wherewithal to attend church at all.

FTR, I don't find church boring, in fact I really enjoy church....just not SS on many occasions.

Speaking of MarkGrace, I was in Munich last week for a couple of days and was impressed by how frequently everyone there drank beer and coffee. germans love drinking beer and they love drinking coffee. I thought to myself, "Markgrace would love it here."
