Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the News

I'm fairly church liberal, but I still get sad when someone leaves the church.

Anyone member who hated DA was not doing it based on doctrine.

So true.

C'mon man. Church leadership bent over backwards to be there for him. They love him. Sadly, they couldn't give him the answers he wanted, which is very much a tragedy for many I am sure.

ok youre right, too far, they dont hate him as a person. Some are biased against lgbt in general and think there is a nefarious agenda. Anyways on the membership level on some members I projected upwards

These people are Mos.

Out of respect for the beliefs of those on the board, I'll refrain from commenting, other than to say you are generous.

yea it seems bending over backwards would include changing policy, which the church could do even without doctrinal change

What policy exactly?

That would be "breaking", not bending.

I'd be interested to see how the CA equipment company came up with $600k plus punitives for a piece of equipment that cost $225,770. There must be some other interesting causes of action because you generally don't get punitive damages for breach of contract.

That seemed weird. I'm not excusing the couple for their misdeeds, particularly because they did the inexcusable and missed payroll, but it seems like they just got in over their heads and were bad at business. Not like they were running an active scam or anything. I'm likely missing something.

I’m assuming there are fraud allegations. We know from the article that she had no problem falsifying bank letters to show to her employees, so I’m wondering if there weren’t some fraudulent/falsified bank letters provided to the equipment company at the initial purchase which made them think a bank was backing the purchase. Still seems crazy for the company to send a piece of equipment that expensive before receiving the funds.

That sounds plausible. Still, unless I am mistaken, you can't use fraud to recover for a contract claim. There must be some other alleged damages related to not selling the unit to some other buyer or something.

CB is up in arms about david Archuleta leaving the church.

Given CB probably represents utah mormons well, why would anyone like david stay in the church?

It still comes from the leadership, but imagine how much david heard growing up from CB likes in the church, its a wonder why he didnt bolt sooner. sad he wasted time of his career for a church with a subset of members that hates him

I think the typical CB'er is bothered by Archuleta's song and instagram posts that they believe are criticizing the LDS Church.
