Store owners kick people out of their stores all the time, often using physical means.

Hey, this is a private residence, man.

Jesus kicked money changers out of the temple, made whips overturned tables and said this is not the place to sell your sacrifices. Private property. I have seen many thankamonies, I love my family, what a difference you made on my life. Been told not to bare those kind of testimonies but people do all the time.

I hard of testimonies were one Young women railed on someone and another one said this is her story. Growing up unheard of to go to pulpit microphone came. Now most people go to the podium though mic is still passed. Town I grew up in one school with 10 to 15 people per grade on average. We hired grade school teacher that parents said if he is teaching after Jan 1st won.t send kids to school. So board fired hm. Joined church somewhere along the line. I,was in third grade.

I kept trying to get up but deacons missed seeing me and gave mic to other people. Just before counselor got up to close meeting fired school teacher stood up and counselor said go ahead. He railed on principal, superintendent, we had one administrator and member of school board. Mad at them both. Said I should shake persons hand and shook one of the people's hands he was mad at across isle. What was he dong. New teacher from neighboring town lds but I donlt think active at that time, we said he said it was wrong for him to get fired, and she said your not supposed to say that in church.

He called school several years later asking for help in saying not able to work so eligible for social security benefits. Heard him and principal shouting at each other in his office. We had kid throw up forever and he was raising hand to get permission to go to bathroom while hand covers mouth and threw up in class, teacher didn't see him. Also kicked kids out for passing gas.

Counselor saw me trying to get up and said we are late but had deacons give me mic, basically did not have to mutter sorry it got out of hand, closing hymn on page after which will give prayer, awkward situation there.

Had altercation between China and player so board said don,t have coach back next season and sil of coach got up and said we are divided community Jesus crucified on false evidence they regretted get all sides of story. Coach dropped f bomb a few times I heard. Then assistant for year got up and said it was my job to keep coach from being jackass I did not do it I was biggest jackass. He was retried principal who got railed on by teacher. Bishop out of town, but sp member there in Ward and counsellors and sp member looking at each other what do I do now? People visiting for baby blessing too. Weird. Testimony meeting normal after that.

Do to unrighteousness desciscions, unforgiving hearts, greed and false witnesses rural town received unwanted media attention. So member came to make sure nothing inappropriate said, but nothing in regular Sunday or fast and testimony meeting was said about the incidents. One man said he never saw anything like it, but our sacrament meeting was just another sacrament meeting another Sunday like any other place in the world. No pulpit feud over community prolblems what on occasion does happen in rural wards.

Kind of like Picasso - in a way - both in content placement and the slow burn appreciation over a long period. He's a genius to be sure, maybe even on the level of McNaughton.

Grape inspires me to be my best online self.

Sam Young ex'd. Not a surprise.

It's always interesting to see the 'tipping point' of people on social media. I have a FB friend and a cousin who have promoted his cause recently. One is ready to break from the church. Family and friends do not understand why she is breaking from the leadership on this. And from the outside, I'm sure it looks silly to make this your 'line in the sand'. But I'm sure the struggle occurred long before this. At some point, you just say enough. It's probably not a great idea to declare publicly your progmo/exmo beliefs, because the backlash is entirely predictable. It helps with your personal integrity, but not much else.

I know very little about him or his movement, but I do know that all the promos on Twitter think he’s borderline crazy even though they seem to support him
